monte affections, but also IN affections Of the
kidneys, debility Of the stomach, and other

"DEN I STHoP." "A few days

most striking proof of willingness
to conform to the law in one of our
interior villages. He was brought
up before a justice and fined ten dol

toller, | pay him, and now | sells"
"And the next time, said the JUS
tice, "you will be fined twenty dol

"Yell, you fine me twenty toller

"And for the third otiense you

house only differed from the more common in being
larger. The floor was made of evenly spread gravel
or coral pebbles, covered with mats, for which the
fibre the cocoanut busk probably furnished the

and wood, nets mats and caabashes grassropes, fish
lines, Irvine and cordage, generally abundant.

Horse SENsE.-Qld Rusty, of Berry Creek, has a
horse named Blue lightning, Of which he relates
the following exhibition of good horse sense: The
horse running in the vicinity of the Berry Greek
House, in company with a colt and one cay came to
the top of the hill above the house. and neghing suf-
fcently loud to be heard, would turn and walk off.
Finding that he not followed, he returned and
peated the performance Still finding himself unheeded,
he approached the house. and went through the same
performance. Dir. johnson, who at work about
the MILL supposed the horse wanted to be put into the
barn, and gave him no attention. The horse then
crossed the bridge, and approaching Old Rusty placed
his nose upon his shoulder, whinncd and started off,
Seeing that be not followed, be again returned,
and getting behind Old Rusty, placed bis head against
him and began pushing him across the bridge Itw
then noticed for the first time that the colt not
with the horse. The horse then led the way up the
hill, occasionally looking back to be certain that he
was followed, and of some distance to old well
prospect hole into which the colt had fallen, and from
which it unable to extricate itself Shovels were
procured and the earth excavated so that the colt was
released from its perous position Blue Lightning"
then testified his joy and friendship for the colt and
thanks to those who had responded to his call, in
eloquent and expressive it is possible for
q horse to do How much short Of reasoning was the
instinct of this brutee
