Cue horse ought 10 be very thick

The spinal column Of the horse is broader
ana LANCER than mars The Doctor then
explained the nature Of rehex action,
which plays such an important part In
the nervous system Of animals. The
horse. in running, uses his head and
neck to regulate his center OF gravity y
il therefore bad TO make horse run with
his head vertical, as IL throws the center
OF gravity too much on the hind legs, as
well "a interferes with the breathing. In
buyine il is we'll to consider that the best
horses have short ears; il the ears have
no expression, the animal is deaf; a
blind horse directs one ear forward and
one backward the ears should be wide
apart, the forehead large, and the eyes
well open; wide forehead indicates a
good brain; we should also pay due
a attention to the animals teeth. The
horses head was then dissected, and II
was shown that he cannot breathe
through the mouth. The shoulder OF
horse can never be too high; tits like the
mast of n ship-the loftier the mast
the more wind the sails catch, and
the greater the vessels speed The
horse has no collar bone, but the muscles
are directly attached to the skeleton.
The horses foot was shown to be OF
most curious and complicated compost
ton. The diseases of horses, spleen,
SPAWN, etc., and their causes, were ex.
planned. A working horse should be fed
the greater portion of his food at night,
to be digested next day when the animal
is working; when horse is working, 1t
should be fed with good food, but in
small quantities. York Tribune.

Finding the Appeal on the chase oil

YER of the city. might DO properly appro-
priated to that fund, we Joined the Ap-
peal in its search, and suggested the in
ouiry as to the proper direction OF the
proceeds, etc. The editor of the appeal
availed himself Of the suggestion, and,
on information from the attorney. informs
the public that the claims mentioned have
been transferred TO the State as substi-
tute for money by the custodian OF that
money, and tba. the State has employed
the attorney to collect the claims. The
Appeal declares that il acquits the State
officials of responsibility for the trans
action. We now inquire how 1t is that
what was money has now turned out to
be claims in suit, and that the State has
nothing left to show for them but an I'M
secured attorneys receipt This ques-
ton was naturally suggested by the cir
cumstances. The State is interested,
the appeal proclaimed its despair
in the chase of the school fund,
and directed attention to tax fund. 1t
now complains that we have followed its
lead, and gone of after the tax fund, as
il had set us an example; and without
answering any question, or meeting the
issue we presented to it, demands that
we should make charges direct and
specific" 1t alludes to law firm and
gives no names, and when we take its
own words and allude to the same par
ties in the same manner,it condemns our
imitation of its example as speaking by
''inuendo." Is the Appeal or the
"frm" aggrieved by not being men
toned By name2 If so, the appeal is
the first offender, and should be the first
to reform. Let it make full statement
of facts, az it has the opportunity to do,
being in confidence of the firm, in justi'
ficstion of that firm, if he thinks it needs
justification, and we will do all justice
by retraction of any error. If there IS
ANYTHING in our article of yesterday
which "cannot be answered" it is be-
cause the truth is unanswer sble-not
because it is conveyed by "inuendo,
The demand on us to be more explicit,
made by parties in fuller possession OF
all the facts than we can possibly be,
looks rather crafty as a piece of strategy.
We are not gifted witness to those who
are already sufficiently informed. And
those who expect to gain a point
by interrogating may be mistaken.
The $4,000 State taxes were
well, took medicine, aud here they
are" in the shape of an attorneys
receipt So the appeal has informed
us, and acquits of blame all concerned.
We have only commented on these facts.
We have been unable to see how money
in hand should undergo such trans
formation, and neither State officials nor
attorney be to. blame, on the showing
made by our neighbor. When he has ex-
planned what is but the legitimate result
of his own statement, he will with better
grace retire under q clamor for names
and specific facts, which it is no more
our business to give than it is his own,
and which for aught appears, might with
greater propriety be withheld.

Thanksgiving day in Brooklyn, the guest
of Benz. W. Delamater, and in the eve

honor of the Speaker and his wife, by
large number of prominent citizens, at
which Mr.. Colfax received many con-
pratulations on the two late events OF his

and his election to the Vice Presidency.
A correspondent had conversation
with Congressman Boutwell,, who, 10
answer to inquiries, stated that he should
advocate the exaction of more stringent
measures of reconstruction in Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas, than had been
required from the other States He
believed that specie payments can
be fastened ouly by advancing
prosperity, and not By legisla-
ton. As to the suffrage question, he
was of the opinion that Congress had the
power to declare who may vote for Pres
idential Electors, Senators and Con-
gressmen, if not the power to regulate the
entire question of suffrage in the States.
