"The Battle of Dorking" is a graphic and
minute description of battle ,chich nerer
took place, and which is made to decide the
fate of England. The narrator personates
an old gentleman talking to his grandchildren
of events supposed to have happened fifty
years before. If the narrative had been
founded upon actual fact the story could not
have been told more graphically The folly
of England in not making suitable provision
to protect itself against the encroachments of
ambitious and pO Owerful neighbors, thei inva-
sion and subsequent battle of Dorking at a
time when the country was wholly unprepar-
ed for war and taken by surprise, the terrible
disaster which overlook it's arms upon that
fatal field, the diversion of its trade and COM
menee, the destruction of its naval suprema-
cy, the decline of its prosperity and the re-
duction of its people from power and afflu-
ence to condition of poverty and wretched-
ness IS told with great simplicity and power,
and reads more Ikea chapter of history than
il does like fancy sketch based wholly upon
imagination. Besides the description of the
battle the book contains number of very
sensible observations of political nature, in
teLded TO show the secret of Englands great
ness and power and how the same may be
frittered away and lost by the folly of its peo.
pie, or saved by wise forethought and proper
attention to the country's needs. Published
in pamphlet by G. p. Putnam IL Sons, New
York, and for sale by Fessehden Brothers.

MODE OF MANAGING A FESTIVE HORSE.
A groom mounted on high metted hunter
entered the High street of Coldstream. and
when opposite Sir John Majorbanks' monu-
ment the horse began to plunge and rear TO a
fearful extent, swerv'ng to the right and then
to the left, but 60 forward he would not. nor
could all the exertio2s of the groom overcome
his obstinacy. The street was filled with
people expecting to see the animal destroy
himself on the spikes Of the iron railing round
the monument, when Mr. McDougall, sad
der, walked up to the groom and said: Il
think, nay man, you are not taking the proper
method to make the horse go; allow me, if
you please, to show you trick worth know
ing" ''Meb." said the groom; "if you eau
make him GO, its more thal can :" when Mr..
McDougall took piece of whip cord, which
he tied with a frla knot on the end of the
animals ear, which he bent gently down, las-
tening the end of the string to the check
buckle OF the bride: this done he patted the
horses neck once or twice and said: Snow
let me see you go home like a good horse >
Astonishing to relate, the horse moved off a.
gently as il nothing had happened. Mr. Me-
Bougal says he has seen in London horses
which no manner of force could MAKE 90
