Power OF SCENT IN HoRsEs.A writer in
Tait's Magazine passes a high encomlum on
the acuteness of scent possessed by the horse,
by which the animal is enabled to make his
way over the roughest road during the pro.
ioundest darkness Of night. In view OF this
fact he says: "Never check your horse at
night, but give him free head, and you may
restassured that he will never get off the road. "
The "scent' part is all right, but the expedl-
tlOuS progress depends upon circumstances. -
As an Instance: An eccentric man residing IN
the backwoods some miles south of Erie, Pa,
left that village, now city, on horseback at
about ten o'clock OF a very dark night. Get
ting fairly upon the road, the horse was given
his head, and, to make the time seem as short
as possible, the party thought he would close
his eyes and recite the bride Of Abydos," as
means of Willing away the time, which, with
many other pieces, he knew perfectly well.-
1t was his impression that the piece would oo-
Gcupy most of the time to reach home
lie closed his eyes accordingly, and commenced
aloud the recitation He felt the motion of
the horse for time, but, warming with his
subject, all else was forgotten till the piece
was concluded. He then opened his eyes
which were not Of much use, owing to the pro-
found darkness: nevertheless, by the aid Of
tlese and his other organs, he discovered that
lAe horse had come to halt by the road side,
ana was quietly feeding from a cock of hay
i ThlGh lay within reach of a low fence Instead
u the keen scent of the horse serving to aid
10 M ms homeward course, it detected the hay as
f se as the road, and, as appetite preferred the
iWuer, the consequence was that mile had
visn gained towards home while the bride of
aoyydos" was being expended on the desert
al In this case free head" to the horse
sas S,s not synonymous with progress, because the
- %ea1 OF the bay was more inviting than that
the road homeward. >t
