Sold to present them to the ladies or others

desirable, it seems.
In TowY.-A number of Doctors were in
town on Thursday and Friday for the pur.
pose Of being examined as to their authority
to practice medicine, by the Temporary
Board Of Examiners appointed by Governor
Swami under law passed by the last lcgis
lature. IF found armed with the necessary
documents" the Board gave them Ger.
tiicate, for which they had to pay the sum
oil five dollars. The object of the law is
said to be to break up the school of
"qnacks" who prey upon the people.
The CHERRY SToNEE.-A little more than
a month since, we advertised Il little machine
called Cherry Stoncr, which was repre-.
sented by the inventor capable of stoning
three bushels per hour. We called the at
tcntion Of Mr.. W. c. Rambo, Hardware
Dealer OF this town, to the advertisements
and advised him to take the agency and have
a machine forwarded for trial. On Friday
morning we procured bucket of cherries
and set the little machine to work. In a
few minutes it had extracted the stones from
the cherries. forcing them through spout
aud the seedless cherries, by Hanged wheel,
out at the bottom. We consider it one of
the most useful household inventions, and
no kitchen should be without one. The ad.
vantage Of seeding cherries for canning or
baking needs no comment, every housewife
knows it. Mr.. Rambo will supply the arti
Gle at short notice. Price 81. 30.
HORSE TRAINING.--M. d. Hurlburt, of the
firm of Rockwell Il Hurlburt, visited several
points in this county last week. He was at
Port Deposit on Wednesday, where he had
class of thirteen. On Thursday he visited
Bay View, and gave an exhibition of the
astonishing feats Of his two spotted horses,
which were witnessed by large number of
the farmers and others from the neighbor.
hood. There he taught class Of twenty.
six, who expressed themselves highly graft
fed with the knowledge impaired. On Fri.
day he was in North East, where he gave
another exhibition, and instructed a class of
ten persons. Saturday afternoon he ecturcd
on horsemanshp, and gave an exhibition in
front of the Court House here. The day
was q fine one, but our farmers being behind
with their work, very few persons were in
town. Those who witnessed the leats of his
horses here say they never saw anything in
the circus that would compare with them
The horses were driven without the use of
reins or any other harness except barely sui
hcient to lasten them to the carriage: being
guided solely by the motions Of the whip
The system of Mr.. h. is plain and practical
suited to any one handling horses. He
neither drugs nor mesmeriscs. Neither, to
use his own language, does he go into part
nership with the horse. He makes wisdom
kindness and strategy an overmatch for
strength, and thus brings them at once COM
pletely under his control, and they become
what natnre designed they should be--Ser
wants. He also exhibited q couple of train
ed dogs who performed some wonderful
acts. Mr.. Hurlburt says he is able to teach
animals to obey him SO implicitly by always
saying to them inst what he means, and al
ways in the same way. He contends that
horses are spoiled in the same manner as
children. That is, il you tell q child once
or twice not to do a thing, and he does it,
and yon do not punish him, he will there
after pay little heed to any order; so with
the horse, if you halo whoa, three or four
times before you stop him by proper use
of the reins, he will soon come TO pay no
attention to the word whoa. Those who are
accustomed to use horses and who have no.
tced others using them will readily see the
truth and universally Of these remarks. -
The class Of persons who think that the
hight Of horscmanship is the exhibition Of
a tremendous amount of brutality and vul
garity is so large, that we hope the lessons
taught by these lectures and exhibitions Of
Mr.. Hurburt may be needed.
