OLD FARM HoRsEs.-A correspond.
ent Of the Ohio Farmer says: IL is
a common practice in this country
to make old horses break the colt
and too often work with them for
years. 1t is hard for an old horse
to work with colt or a young ac-
tive horse. Old horses, like old men,
are often capable of performing
more hard work than some young
ones who can beat them for an hour
or more. The old man wants to
take moderate jog, and can hold
out all day, but little immoderate
exertion for few minutes unstlings
him perhaps for all day. An old
horse driven at the top of his speed
a few miles spoils the days journey.
When once made sore or strained,
the result is stiffness the next day
The old horse should not haul his
load to town and then be forced to
trot back. 1t does not injure him so
much to do the heavy work with
slow motion as to do the light jobs
at the fast gait. Again, the old
horse requires more time to eat his
meals and rest his nerves. OF all
animals the old horse is the worst
abused. Although he has been our
most faithful and profitable servant,
yet in his old age the lash is applied
to force out his youthful vigor The
older be grows the more he feels the
Lash. He is often turned out of doors
to give place to the colts. All these
things are inhuman and shameful.

Sy-The new Temperance law is
finding enforcement in this way at
Detroit
During the past week a couple
named Bliss have made a regular
business IF matchmaking saloon
keepers, but they came 10 grief yes
terday. The man would call into a
saloon, procure and drink glass of
liquor, and, in the course Of half an
hour, his wife would step in and de-
mand damages, claiming that her
husband abused and neglected her on
account of bis dissipated habits. AS
she is very determined in look and
seems thoroughly posted on the new
State law, nearly every saloon keep
er has thought it best TO give her
from one TO five dollars 10 avoid q
suit. The man yesterday entered a
place on Griswold street and called
for his beverage, but, being recog-
nized, was kicked out doors. He
went and brought his wife, who was
armed with hammer, and they sail
ed in together, but were we'll handled
and put into the street, the woman
fighting until she had but little cloth
ing left.

Tichborn Claimant Again.

The Tichborn claimant who has
been at large for some time past, has
not, it appears, abandoned the idea
of pushing bis claims upon the es-
tate. Having exhausted his own rec
sources, he is now appealing to the
English public to enable him to re-
commence or rather proceed with
the suit. English correspondents
relate incidents of his travelling
through the country in company
with Mr.. Onslow, member of the
Parliament, and appealing in person
to the people, in speeches from tav-
ern windows, to prove the fallacy of
the statements which were brought
up by the opposition to show that he
was an imposter. His tactics so far
are said to have met with considera-
Bile success. The money is mostly
raised from among the laboring class
es.

CERTAIN CURE FOR FoUNDER.-As
soon as you discover that the horse
is foundered, take him to the nearest
branch or stream of water, and tie
him standing in the water nearly up
TO his bel!y-his head being so high
that he cannot drink. If the weath.
er is warm, let him stand in the
stream several hours then tax him
out, rub his legs thoroughly to pro.
mote circulation, and again tie him
in the water if be is still lame. By
repeating this progress two or three
times, the horse will be effectively
cured, if the weather is cold when the
horse is fouDdered, the horse must
not be allowed to stand in the water
more than about twenty minutes at
a time; he should be taken out and
his legs rubbed diligently till they
become dry and warm and the
circulation of the blood made active,
aud this process must be repeated
till the horse is cured, which will be
generally within "a hours. This
remedy will cost nothing, can do no
possible harm, and will, in every in
stance cure if the disease has not
been of too long standing: Don't be
afraid to try it.-Rurdl World.

GENTLEMEN:
The course pursued by your
Companies in the adjustment
and payment Of our own
claims, and, so far as we know;
ALL claims for losses in the
great fire in Chicago, has been
so highly honorable, prompt,
and straightforw ard, and
marked by such apparent de-
sire to deal justly toward all
parties, under all circum-
stances, that we desire volun-
tarily to acknowledge it to the
business public. We conceive
that no stronger test could be
made, both Of the RESPONSE
bility and Of the integrity Of
an Insurance organization,
than yours has passed through
here successfully and credit |
ably. With an unimpaired |
Capital and undiminished re- |
sponsibility, and a record for |
equitable settlement, certainly |
surpassed by none, we con-
gratalate you on the career Of
future prosperity to which.
your ACTIONS here have so
justly entitled you, and re-

stick, and pried upward with all her
slowly and the welcome fresh air ofheaven
came pouring in upon them.
Inspired by hope she attempted to start
another one by its side, but with all her
strength she found it impossible, and yet
the aperture was not large enough to ad-
nit her passing through, and again the
pangs of despair seized hold upon her
heart.
The heat was becoming terrible, and
the opening she had made in the roof
seemed only an outlet for the smoke,
which, as it poured out, well nigh stifled
her. Clasping her child, she thrust him
through the opening, and holding him on
the roof for moment she was about to
let him slide to the ground, at the risk of
dashing the life from his body, when the
sound of rapid footsteps was heard, and
the next moment the well-known voice
of her husband sounded like music in her
ears, as he came across the clearing, and
by the light of the flames that had begun
to break out in several places, saw his
child and the head of his wife on the
roof
''Quick, husband, for the love of Godr'
shouted the mother as she still retained
hold upon her child. And in hardly
more time than it takes to tell it, he was
upon the roof, and with his strong arms
had torn up another plank, and sprang to
the ground with his child, and in mo-
ment more his wife was by his side, with
heart overlooking with joy at their es-
cape.
The cabin was burned to the ground
with all it's contents, including the au-
thor of all the mischief. A new one was
erected, and therein, in after years, the
story we have narrated was often re-
hearsed to those that claimed their hos
