Wounds on Horses.

one OF the best washes that we know
OF 1or ordinary wounds on horses is to
take one-quarter of a pound of salt
petre' half pint of turpentine, and but
them into bottle; shake well before
using apply to the wound three times
day with feather. This we have

Tor he treasured up all Robbie's i'll do,

portunity to be revenged. And thus it
came about: ~
Robbie has lost none of his interest
In hens nests, notwithstanding his ex-
Perience with old Speck. He had lone
felt sure there were certain nests under
the old granary. He could find but one
hole through which a hen could mass
and that was too small for bow, So
one day, having determined to get ut
the nests some way, he succeeded in en-
larging the opening sufficiently. he
thought, to crawl through. He made
the attempt and crawled part of the
way through, but alas there he was
and with all his efforts could neither ,
get backward or forward. He kicked ,
and squirmed; he sent forth yells that i
would have distinguished Camauche. n
but all in vain. -
Old Frisky had been quietly watch o
ing the proceedings from the fence cor. ;,
ner, where he was lazily chewing his r.
cud. Perhaps he mistook Robbie,s to
frantic efforts to get free, for challenge h,
to fight. Possibly he deliberately dc. a.
termined to take mean advantage of tn
an unfortunate enemy. 1 cannot tell hi

skyIarking Cadets Released.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The following
order has been issued by the Secretary of
War:
Such of the members of the first class at
the academy as were concerned in the late
disgraceful mobbing of certain members of
the fourth class, and who were confined by
special order within certain limits, and de-
prived of all privileges and indulgences
granted cadets, are hereby relieved from
further operation of said order. The action
of these cadets of the first class, which led
10 their u lishment, can not be too strongly
condemned. A combir ion on the part of
cadets under any pretext, whatever, for the
purpose of visiting punishment upon their
comrades, is so fragrant violation of good
order and subordination as to require the
severest reprimand. 1t is to be hoped that
these cadets who have been guilty of this
offense, and who are soon TO graduate, and
become officers in the army, will never
again place themselves in any situation
which may be disagreeable, or require the
voice of authority to remind them of their
duty as officers and gentlemen.

Secretary OF War.

tn, Bay St. Louis Gazette reports this:

On Monday morning, May 2e, prisoner
confined in our county Jail, named Allen
Holmes, escaped by running away from
a young man employed for the purpose
of carrying his breakfast to him, as soon as
the doors of the Jail were opened. He had
been arrested for burglary and several
daring attempts at rape. He made his es-
cape into the woods, and was seen and pur-
sued short distance, near Bayou Philip
bridge, about eleven o'clock ON that morn
ing, by two gentlemen who were travelling
in that neighborhood for the purpose of
surveying land. He escaped them by plung-
ing into the overhOwed swamp of Bayou
Philip, where they could not follow him.
The night following, it appears, he returned
stealthily into Bay st. Louis and committed
a series of the most daring burglaries. He
obtained at Captain John G. Hines a gold
watch, with the United States coat of arms
engraved ON both sides of the case; in an
adjoining house a pocket-bOok containing
some money and the photograph of young
lady.
The loser says he don't care much about
the money, but he hates to be without the
photograph. The next day he was seen at
Shelly, at the head of the Bay st. Louis,
where he sported Captain Hines gold
watch, obtained his dinner, and went off
apparently in the direction of Wolf river.
He did go there, and travelled as far as BIZ
loxi, where he sold Captain Hines watch,
and took the mailboat for New Orleans.
When the boat landed at the bay, he was
fortunately seen, arrested and securely
lodged in Jail.
Mr.. Thomas J. Murphy. our efficient den
uty sheriff, did all in his power to recapture
the escaped prisoner

We copy the following from the vidalia
Herald:
From private letter of the Hon. John S.
Harris we are pleased to be confirmed in the
fact that Mr.. Harris has been elected one of
the directors of the Texas Pacific railroad.
We learn that Mr.. Harris has accepted this
position at the earnest desire OF MIR. Mar
shall O. Roberts himself. The building of
this railroad has always been cherished
object of Mr.. Harris, and one in which he
has always taken profound interest, and
we consider his selection as one of the direc-
tors as fortunate for the State, and particu-
larly so for Central Louisiana. where his
home has been, as he will doubtless call the
attention of the directors TO the advantages
of the route via Vidalia.
We think that the fact of Mr. Harris
being elected to that position should be an
incentive for our citizens and the railroad
committee to exert themselves anew, as
they may rest assured if the advantages of
the route are what they are claimed to be
they will not fail TO receive that attention
which they deserve from the directors. Mr..
Harris will be here about the tenth or mid
die OF June, and it would be well for the
committee to prepare such data and in
formation as will show at glance the adj
yantages Of this route, and with the view
through him, OF bringing the matter di-
rectly to the knowledge of the directory
