ANOTHER CURIOUS LAW CASE Mrs
Parker was tried at Portland Maine, last
week for shooting at a Mrs. Baker, with in
tent to kill The jury rendered a verdict of
"Not guilty on account Of insanity" Onthe
decision OF the jury being given, the prose-
cutting attorney; moved sthere be a. warrant
granted sending respondent to the State Asy-
lum for the insane in accordance with the
statr t., Counsel for respondent objected to
the motion on the ground that the jury had
found her insane at the time the murderous
assault was committed. but not that she was
insane now. The Judge was in doubt wheth-
CT the law upon him was peremptory or dis
cretionary, and after the point had been ably
discussed pro and con, after deliberation,
Judge Goddard discharged the woman, saying
heidi not think it necessary to send her to
the Insane Hospital to ascertain whether she
was insane now or not, and as he believed he
had discretionary power in the matter he or
dered her discharge. because he had seen
nothing to satisfy him that she was ever in
sane at any time
How TO BEHAVE AT THE Posi- OFFICE -
When you cal for your mail, and the clerk
hauds it out be sure to ask him if chat is all
If the clerk tells you there is none for you,
be sure to tell him there ought to be- Then
so right home, and send the rest of your
family to ask the same question at intervals
throughout the day. When you want a
stamp on your letter. tell the clerk to put it
on forJou. He has nothing else to do, and
ought to be kept busy. In case you put tie
staup on yourself, soak it in your mouth
long enough to remove all the mucilage. It
will then stick to the enyelop till it gets dry,
and no longer. If you have box without a
key to it, drum on it loudly till the clerk
hands out your mail 1t makes him feel

How to Fatten a Poor Horse.


Many good horses devour large quantities
of grain and hay, aud still continue thin and
poor The food eaten is not properly assimi.
lated. If the usual feed had been unground
grain and hay, nothing but change will eff
feet any desirable alteration in the effects of
the animal In case oat meal cannot, be OBJ
tanned readily, mingle a bushel of faxseed
with a bushcl of barley, one Of oats, and
one Of Indian corn, and let it be ground up
into fine meal This will be fair proportion
for all his feed Or the meal Of barley, oats
and corn, in equal quantities, may first be
procured and one fourth part of oil cake min
gleJ, with it when the meal is sprinkled on
the cut feed. Feed two and three quarts of
the mixture three times daily, mingled with
a peck of hay and straw. IF the horse viii
cat that amount grecdily, let the quantity be
gradually increased until he will eat four or
six quarts at every feeding, three times day.
So long as the animal will eat this allowance,
the quantity may be increased little every
day. But avoid the practice of allowing a
horse to stand at rack we'll filed with hay
La order to fatten horse that has run down
in flesh the groom should be very particular
to feed the animal no more than he will eat
UP clean and lick his manger for more -
