soap-suds. iars-o- I'sH 8
Here is a drench we see highly
recommended: -
"Dissolve as much salt in 8
quart of pure water as may be
required, thoroughly to saturate
the liquid, and drench the patien!
with one-half oft. If symptoms
of relief are not noticed in fifteen
minutes, or half an hour, give
the remainder. This remedy, it
is stated, has proved entirely sue
cessful in very severe cases where
other more complicated medicines
have failed" se ~
"There are two kinds of collie,
fatulent collie and spasmodic collie.
In the first, it is occasioned by the
enlargement of the intestines, by
the food passing through the pro-
cess of fermentation, instead of
digestion. Gases are largely gen.
Grated, and hence the distension
and pain"
We learn that hundreds if not
thousands of mules died in the
Mississippi bottom this season of
a nameless disease. Though it
has measurably disappeared at
the present, yet it may return a
gain next year, and we advise all
our readers to save this against
its appearance anywhere. 81

The STABLE.
The Teeth of a Horse.

At five years of age a horst
has forty Neutrality-suspicious. mo
lar, or jaw teeth, twelve incisors
or front teeth, four tusks, or canine
teeth, between the smolars, and
incisors, but usually wanting in
| the mare. At birth only two
nippers or middle incisors appear
At a year old the incisors are
all visible ON the first or milk set
Before three years the .perma-
nent dividers neXtto the nippers
are cut. s56llr - d
AT five the emouth is perfect, the
second set of teeth having been
completed. "a s!T saJ11
At six the hollow under the
nippers called the mark has dis
appeared from the nippers, and
diminished in the dividers. ds
At seven the mark has disap-
peared from the dividers, and the
next teeth, or corners, are level,
though showing the mark.
At eight the mark has gone
from the corners, and the horse
is said to be aged. After this
time, indeed good authorities say
after five years, the age of a horse
can only be conjectured. But the
teeth gradually change their form,
the incisors becoming round, oval
and then triangular. Dealers
sometimes bishop the teeth of old
horses, that is, scoop them out to
initiate the mark, but this can be
known by the absence of the
white edge of enamel which al
ways surrounds the real mark, by
the shape of the teeth, and other
marks of age about the animal.

A REMARKABLE RECoRD.-We
heard on yesterday the following
statement, which is certainly one
of the most remarkable that we
ever remember to have seen on
record.
A gentleman and his wife are
now living in Pontotoc county,
Miss. His weight is 375 pounds,
and that of his wife l40. They
have seventeen children, nine sons
and eight daughters, all living,
and all married. They all have
children and some of them grand
children.
There has not been a death in
the family from the time of the
great-grandfather down to the
present time, and the family now
number one hundred members.
The great-grandfather was a SOL
dier at the battle of New Orleans,
Six of his sons were in the Confed-
crate army, and three of them, were
wounded and taken prisoner All
six are now farmers in North Mis-
sissippi.

often be turned into cash.
AS for instance member of
company F., 14th N. C. by
the way, the company with
which Gov. Vance entered the
war as Captain-was giving his
friends at home an account of q
very fierce fight on the Peninsula.
He said: We were marching
through a thick wood to flank a
portion Of the enemy, and just as
we entered the edge of all old

with grape and canister. Such a

but, the dirt and gravel flew all
over us, the limbs fell on us, and
and there was not a thing in the
world to shield us from the terri

Snowy pillows yet impressed,

All in quiet nursery chambers
While the dusky shadows creep,
Hear the voices of the children
"Now lag me down to Sleep"
In the meadows and the mountaia
Calmly shine the winter stars:
But across the glittering lowlands
Start the nloonligh.'s silver bars.
In the silence and the darkness,
Darkness growing still more deep,
Listen to the little children
Praying God their souls to keep.
'If we die'--so pray the children,
And the mothers head droops low
Zone from out her fold is sleeping
Deep beneath the winters SNOWY &
''Take our souls !" and past the easement
Fits like gleam of crystal light,
Like the trailing of his garments,
Walking evermore in white
Little souls that stand expectant,
Listen at the gate of life;
Hearing, far away, the murmur,
Of the tumult and the strife;
We who fight beneath those banners,
Meeting ranks of foemen there,
Find deeper, broader meaning
In your simple vesper prayer.
When your hands shall grasp this standard,
Which to-day you watch from far.
When your deeds shall shape the conflict
In the universal war,
Pray to Him, the God of battles,
Whose strong eye can never sleep
In the warning temptation,
Firm and true your souls to keep.
When the combat ends, and slowly
Clears the smoke from out the skies
Then far down the purple distance,
All the noise of battle dies.
When the last nights solemn shadows
Settle down on you and me,
May the love that never faileth
Take our souls eterpslly.
