A Physician in Wilmington, N. c., has
performed tho operation of transferring
blood from lamb into a human body
The subject was an inmate ofthc City Hos
pital, who had been suffering for some limo
past, and who bad lately seemed in dan
ger Of death from mere exhaustion. -
When laid upon tho table hc was too weak
to talk, and appeared to have but few
hours Of life left in him. When his vein
was opened but one drop ofblood fell from
it. The carotid artery Of the lamb was
opened and the blood was forced from
thence, by the palpitation Of the animals
heart, through small glass tube into the
patients cophalic vein. In this way about
cights ounces Of blood was conveyed from
the lamb to the man. The operation was
entiicly successful; and it is not only ex-
poctcd that the patient, who is a negro,
will recover, but that hc will hereafter
produce a superior grade Of mcrlno wool.

LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.

uktkN 'ALLhT, VA, outJ y, ~
Eai9r Register
Since writing my last letter for your
paper, nothing Of special interest has oc.
cured under my observation ut least. =
The hospitality for which Virginians have
long been noted, has been fully realized
and enjoyed since my arrival in tho "Old
Dominion" And those who think TINT
tho war seriously effected tho generous
hcartednoss and hospitality Of tho people
ofthiS section Of the State, arcsimply mis-,
taken, and the dclusion would at oncc be
removed from tho minds Of all such by
travelling through these Valleys aud over
these mountains, where the air is pure aud
balmy as that which fans tho mountains Of
Italy, and at tho same time receiving tho
most hearty welcome to partakc Of the rich
bountics Of this fertile country.
The new system Of public schools Of this
State, and to which reference was made in
previous letter, has very recently como
into existence, and is now upon tho tide OF
successful experiment, producing it must
be conceded, wherever these schools have
been organized, tho happicst results.
This new system of popular education is
doubtless tho result Of free government
1t is true some Of Tho "mishty and noble"
arc opposing tho new movement with all
their might, but the timo will come in the
history Of our country, aud wo trust that
time is not far distant in the future, when
it will bo exceedingly unpopular for any
man in any State in this Union, North or
South to array himsclfagainst a system Of
popular education.
The School law Of this State provides
that the Board of Education shall consist
Of the Governor, the Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, and the Attorney.Gcn-'
cral, and it is made the duty Of this Board
to observe the operations Of the system
and to suggest any improvement deemed
advisable therein; to appoint and remove
county superiutendcnts subject to confirm
alton by the Senate; and many other pc.
culiar characteristics Of this law might bo
given, showing conclusivcly q great i'm
provement in the educational interests Of
[tbis State. Suol, system asthisius'0l
Virginia may well DO ranked among tho
striking signs Of the times, one Of which
every Virginian may wcll be proud. We
dwell at some length on this subject be-
cause ofits vital Importance to our native
State.
Many Northern men Of enterprise and
capital ore investing in lands in Virginia,
and no objections arc urged against any
good and well disposed persons becoming
citizens, but persons who como to "cat up
the substance" and prey upon. tho people,
are not desirable citizens ofany State, and
do not receive a very hearty welcome here.

A Farmer Attacked by Mad Horse
In the township Of Taylor, Michigan,
very exciting affair occurred. A man
named Pierce Andrews, who had lately
moved in from Washtcnaw County and
leased farm, returned that morning with
a young horse which hc had purchased al
Wyandotte. In riding tho animal home,
Andrews had to give him several whip
pings, and was once or twice run away
with, and thus, when be arrived home, ho
was tired out, and the horse was nervous
ard excited.
There being come goods packed away
in the stables, Andrews toik the horse in
on the barn floor 10 tic him, While SO
doing the animal bit him, and for this he
was souudly bolaborJl with the handle Of
broken pitch-fork. After being struck
several times ho broke loose and ran at
Andrews, and struck him down with one
Of his fore.fco While in this position,
the farmer received bad injury by being
stepped upon, but managed to get up aud
show fight, still retaining possession Of his
weapon. The horse reared, kicked, and
uttered mad neighs, and in q moment
struck s,iho man down again Andrews
fell SO close to the partition that the horse
could not get at him we'll, and here he
kept the beast at bay by pounding its leg
with the club.
The people at tho house had heard the
sounds of the struggle, and hired man
and the family wero soon around tue door
AS the horse seemed to qnict down o lit
tie, the man shouted to Andrews to crawl
carefully along to the door. This The far
mcr started to do, but had not crawled
three feet when the horse pounccd Upon
him again, and this time dslocated bis
shoulder BY a blow of hishoof Thehorso
then commenced plunging and kicking at
everything, Jumping at Andrews whenev-
cr the farmer moved, andfn this cmersen-
cy, seeing that he was likely to bc killed,
be shouted for the man TO get the family
out of the yard, and then open the door,
supposiug that the animal would then go
out.
This was done, but the horse plunged
out aud in again with such rapility that
the farmer could not escape, the animal
making at him every time he tried it. AS
a last resort, the hired man loaded an army
musket with fine shot, and gave the horse
the full charge in his shoulder at short
range. The beast went down, jumped up,
made a few circuits Of the yard, and then
leaped tho fence into the pasture, and ran
until tired out. Andrews was badly brui.
scd in many places, had shoulder dislo-
Gated, as stated, aud will be confined to
the house for sometime. The horse re.
ceived considerable injury from tho gun.
shot, but it is thought that a veterinary
surgeon can heal the wounds.

that a farmer could or should undertake to
follow any trade in connection with farm

pared, at any time, to mend little break
in implement or harness, the doing of
which would save the time of sending to
the shop, and expenses, too. This applies
to all farmers, and particularly to those at It
distance from towns and villages, ana
those having boys growing up around
them. The most independent boy is one
who has learned the use of his hands and
is willing to take advantake of the lesson,
and our experience is, that if boys are at
all encouraged. and the tools are in good
order and convenient, they will in much
larger proportion take to them than to to
books, and while we most assuredly would
not discourage the use of the latter, we
would as certainly encourage the for

The RauaL World says: Zone of the
cruelest things done to dumb beasts is put
ting hard frozen iron bits into horses
mouth. 1t is not only a painful, but a
dangerous act. For every time living flesh
touches metal much below the freezing
point, the latter extracts the heat from the
former and freezes it. Thus q horse S
mouth becomes frozen by the cold iron
several times day put into it; each time
causing the freezing to go deeper, to end at
last i'm extensive liberation. With such q
sore mouth the poor horse refuses to eat
and pines away, which calls the horse doc
tor in. They call it bolts, CHAMBERS, horse
ails, etc., and go to examining down pois-
onous drugs, in doses; and the next you
know of the poor abused creature, he is
trotted off to be food for fish and crows.
Many valuable horse has been mysteri-
ously lost in just that way. Thinking anG
humane people avoid this by first warm
ing the bits but this is much trouble and
sometimes impossible, as in night work,
like staging and physicians work. Now,
all this trouble is entirely avoided, as we
have found on large trial, by getting the
harness-makers to get leather bits for win
ter use, so made that no metal substance
oan touch the flesh.
