A WRINKLE ABOUT THE AGE OF
HoRsEs.--A short time ago we met a
gentleman from Illinois, who gave us
piece of information in regard to as
eertaining the age of a horse, after he
or she had passed the ninth year, which
was new to us, and will be, we are
sure, to most of our readers. 1t is this:
After the horse is nine years old, a
wrinkle comes on the eyelid at the up
per corner of the lower lid, aud every
year thereafter lie has one well-defined
wrinkle for each year over nine. If,
for instance, a horse has three wrinkles,
he is twelve; if four, he is thirteen
Add the number of wrinkles in nine,
and you viii get it. So says the gem
tleman and he is confident it Willnev-
er fail. AS a good many people have
horses over nine, is easily tried. Il
true, the horse dentist must give up his
trade Field and Fireside.

THINNING OUT GaAPEs.-Is the i'm
portance of thinning out the fruit OF
the vine duly considered by the maiori-
ty of cultivators I think not. From
close observation, and even sad ex
perience, the subject, in my opinion,
calls for much more atteation than is
usually given. In young vines this is
particularly the case. Such vigorous
and hardly constituted varieties as the
Concord may stand it, but even they
will eventually suffer. This fanlt is
not only to be found in the vineyards
of tho novice, but can be seen almost
everywhere, in charge of those who
know better. This then being admit
ted, the next question is: how shall it
be remedied Shall we Prune it so
much shorter, SO as not to leave more
wood than the viEe can carry safely
through, or leave more wood, and then
thin out the punches? The latter, in
my opinion, will be the best; for, by
the first plan, we get our fruit too
much crowded and throw too much
force into the young canes for the fol-
lowing years bearing. My impression
is that when vine is pruned toswhat
would seen abont right, the pinching
out of every third bunch, at the first
operation pinchins back would be the
method. / would leave but two
punches on each bearing shot, and in
some instances it is better to leave but
one. We all know the forming of the
seed of any fruit is the heaviest tax on
the plant. This being the case, do we
not give considerable relief when we
diminish this tax one third | think
we would be safe in counting on hav-
ing the same weight Of fruit in The two
punches as if three are left Some
years ago we grew Concord buncbes in
this way, which the committee, who
were to test them, would not admit to
be that variety until they tested them.
For instance, let one man take Concords
that will average three fourths of q
pound to the bunch, and another have
them asusually grown, aud my word
for it, the large punches will command
nearly double price, not only among
the wealthy but the masses Grape

The Latest English Fashion.

Anna Cora Mowatt Richie, in n
letter from London to the Boston
Post, says; Upon the drawihg.room
table Of u lady Of rank in London
"a lady of high position aud irrepronch
able chnracter-muy be seen, beneath IL
glass case, a lovely, dinpled little foot,
delicate ankle, and rounded calf, to the
eejoint. 1t is cast Of the leg OF
Lady, the hostess. In Soho SOU ire
there is small, rather humble looking
shop, in which you can purchase, for
five shillings, cast Of one of the most
exquisite of legs. The original Gin the
flesh) belongs to Lady - de O.,
and R, who went to this little shop
incog., had her perfect leg moulded,
and afterwards generously gave the
shopman the privilege of selling copies
OF the cast, which he does daily, for it
was quickly discovered to whom the
beauteous leg belonged. One lady-the
wife of mayor in the provinces-came
to London and had two casts taken Of
her leg; one nude, and one with the
neat little shoe, stocking aud garter
Strange to say--though no artist will
call it strange-tho leg with the stock
ing and garter produced an effect much
futher removed from modesty than the
leg quite unclad. Brucciani, the cele.
brated cast.vender in Covout Garden,
drives quite brisk trade in casting
ladies' legs, and has any quantity Of
models Of all descriptions, taken from
life, and chiefly from noble life, for
sale, How this leg mania originated
We have not heard, but there il certes
some explanation for this sudden passion
among the aristocratic fair to have their
legs recognized. Perhaps it is only
because "a thing of beauty is a joy
forever"

A VICIOUS CAT.-The Perry County
PAD Advocate says a cat nearly caused
the death Of child in the vicinity of
Sandy Hill, this county, few DAYS ago
Our informant states bat Mrs. Jeremiah
Hull left her child, aged about 0 months,
~ the room playing with the cat while
she was engaged in another part of the
house. After some time she went to
see about the child, when she saw the
eat sitting on its breast With its nose
inserted in the child's mouth aud its
paws clasped around its neck. Mrs.
Hull ran aud threw the cat from the
child, which was ALMOST lifeless, but
the cat Immediately sprang back on the
child, placing its nose ip the child's
mouth and elasping il around the neck
as before. A second time the animal
was thrown back, aud then greatly en-
ragged It again sprang forward aud
oaugntit by the throat. After releasing
the child, the cat was taken out and
s@meqiately killed. The child recoy-
siea IN a few days. But for the timely

THE CAUSE OF RUPTURE.

In some instances the disease IL congenitai
that Ia, accompanies the child at its birth In
other, and a greater number Of cases, II occurs
at later period of life, in consequence Of
some forcibie effort, as In lifting heavy
weight, jumping, coughing, &c. Those ocru-
patrons 10 which the individual Is exposed to
sudden violent muscular efforts prcdspose
strongly n the pccurrence Of rupture; and in
Is often greatly increased BY the injurious
habit Of wearing tight girihs or belts round
the waist, which by constructing the abdomen
throws the whole pressure Of the abdominal
contents upon the region Of the groins. The
male sex are far more liable TO hernia than tho
nent French surgeon one man In thirteen, and
one woman 10 nfty-two are subject TO rupture,

THE SYMPTOMS OF RUpTUaR.

The symptoms Of rupture though varying
considerably accof ding to the position Of tbs
sac, presents In all cases many points in com
mon. The tumor Is elongated or rounded,
broader at the top than at the body, usually
increasing In size II the patient stands up, holds
his breath, coughs, or makes much muscular
exertion. II can be pushed back into the abb
domen on pressure, or goes back readily II tho
patient lies down, but reappears when be stands
up. On coughing, q strong distinct impulse
may be felt in it, When the rupture is alto
Eether intestinal, 1t Is usually smooth, gurg-
ling when pressed upon, and sometimes Civ
ing out dramiike sGund. Itmay be returned
into the abdomen with distinct slip and xur-
gle; it has a we'll marked impulse on coughing,
aud is usually accompanied by various dyspcp-
tic symptoms, and often with good deal or
dragging uneasiness.

TREATMENT OF RUPTURE.

The only methods OF treatment adontcd by
the Medical faeplty in effeeting 4 cure Of rup-
tnre - Tie use Of the fruss or the kaife The beat
medical works extant state that by the use Of q
well constructed TRUSS 1t sometimes happens
that the rapture OF infants become radically
cured, but the same result, however, seldom
occurs at more ad, anced period Of life. in
regard to the use Of the knife, the danger Is SO
great, that the patient has but slight chan Of
recovering after leaving the surgeons hands.
Sir Ashley Cooper, who was knigh.cd for his
rare MEDICAL attainmehts, states that out Of III
cases opperated on by him for rupture 90
proved fatal. From record kept BY Dir. Tur-
ner, another eminent English physician, II APP
pears that out OF 5t5 cases reported, EGO proved
fatal. Here we have the confussjan OF the
ablest Medical talent that rupture In infants
may be cured by wearing truss qae ar fro
years but at more adTgnnrd age the same re-
suit seldom occqrs, and by the lse Or the knife
the chances for life or death are about edaat.s
Truly may the sufferer from rupture CT

DESCRIPTION OF RUPTURE.

III ERf1A, or as Il Is Usually termed, Ruptars,
il me4ns, in its widest sense; the dispiace-
meDt Of any organ Of the body from Its natural
cavity, and protrudlna through an abnormal
or accidental opening IN the membrane or
walls Of such organ. The aoss eoinnsn situa-
ton Of Rupture is In the abdoffehf "a may
occur at almost any par, Of the sbdoininsi
wall, but the protrusion generally gecRrs IN
that portion where the muscular structures
are weakened. In whatever situation II 0c1

its contents. Usually, the sac forms a perfeet
Enclosure for the hefDial contents, bat oeca-
sionally forms but partial Investment Of them.

shape, generally globular, sometimes elonga.
