North BRooKFIELD.-A few of the friends
of David Porter Allen, met at the house of Mr..
S. S, Edmuuds on Saturday evening, to congrat-
ulate him on the completion of his studies, and
to offer him words of cheer and Godspoed 10
his new field of labor. Something more than a
| passing notice is due this young colored man,
who by his own exerton, has raised himself
from the degradation of ignorance and slavery,
to the position OF an honorable graduate from the
| Westtied normal school. He was born and
| reared 4 slave, on the plantation of DR..
| William Cole of Prince George county, Va,
near Petersburg When the army, under
| Gen. Mcclellan, fell back from before Richmond
| to darrison'S Landing, young Allen felt that the
| time for his redemption had come, and with
many others of his race, left the plantation and
followed the Union army. AT HarriSOn'S Land
ing he became the body servant of Col. Francis
A. Walker, and remained with him about TWO
years, or until the coonePs capture at the bat
tic of the Weldon railroad. Allen, like faithful
servant, as he was, collected Col. Walkers eff
ects, and with them, come to North Brookticld.
The colonePs family, feeling lively
interest in one who had served their
friend SO faithfully, taught him his letters and
| stimulated his ambition for an education, and
he entered the public schools in town, where he
made very rapid progress in his studies. We
| believe he never received any pccunary assist
ance from any source, until his entry TO the
| school al Westfeld, when he received such aid
as the state grants to INDECENT scholars. He
graduated with the highest honors CT his class,

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY srr.I
, 1872-11-05

Carriage horses in London arc now almost
always jobbed," that is, hired for the season,
or sometimes for the year. This applies to some
of the finest pairs in London, for whose hire 3
large sum is paid. The convenience OF the plan
is that it saves trouble, and if horse falls dead
it can be instantly replaced without cost to the
hirer. The carriage horses IN London have
shown decided improvement since the fall Of
the second empire. Louis Napoleon's agents
md Partisan grandees were previously contlnu-
ally buying up the fnehs- A pair OF
fino coach horses costs from 8, 900 to
So 000 Those of the late Lord Foley, who died
two wears ago, were long noted Is the finest in
London. That nobleman sold his ancestral es-
tates for g, 500 600 to the present Earl OF Dnd-
lev, and, concentrating all his forces on hls Lon
don establishment. achieved the proud distinc-
ton Of having the best dinners and best ap-
pointed equipage and servants in the town.
Oddly enough, it is the custom Tor people
who have grand equipages to make their
brayest show at 8 o'clock in the even
ing, when they go out to dinner, and
when there is no one in the streets. The
coachnan and footman are then in their finest
liveries, the former sitting imbedded in his ham
mock-cloth on the box of the stage coach. when
my lord and my lady are in, the two Jeameses
lump 1p on their perch behind, each with long
ri1t-molnted cane in his hand When they nave
deposited their load they pull up the shutters OF
the carriage, and, mounting the box, one on
each side Of the coachman, thus return at slo"
rate to the stables. This is q very old custom,
which has been handed down by generations Of
JeaYne8ea.

two weeks, makes it Of some interest to note
how vast is the capital invested in horses in this
country, which has been placed in jeopardy by
the epidemic The number Of the horses in the
country has more than doubled since 1850, and
is estimated to have been s, $780, 900 in February
last. They are estimated to have been worth
s659. 7O7. .916, the average price Of each animal
being $73.97. They are owned in the
largest numbers in New York, Texas, Ohio,
Indiana, illinois, Iowa, and PennsylVania-the
great AGRICULTURAL States Of the country. There
are also in the United States 1,276, 800 mules,
valued at 53,242,229. The gross value Of the
horses and mules OF the whole country is $780,
7s5, ,2s2. compared with 1921, ,562,69S in oxen and
other cattle; s329, ,4o8, ,9s3 in mich COWS; SSs,-
I'll, ,197 in sheep, and @1ss, ,733, 1928 IN hogs: 1t
an inroad would be made upon the business
of the country if, from any cause, We snou!a
be deprived Of our horses permanently, or
for any length of time. It is TACT, ~
spite Of The great additions that are
constantly making to the means OF gene
raj 1ocomotion, that the demand for horses ls
rapidly growing in all parts Of the world. me
Every one has been made to feel how much DIS
comfort IN well as actual loss is entailed upon
the community by the absence of horses Tor 8
few days from their usual work, hut it Is TOO
early vet to ascertain the actual diminution OF
numbers which will result from the disease now
raging. The number of horses in the country
has increased very rapidly since the close OF the
war, and for the past year or longer the price Of
horsehesh has been much reduced. # the result
OF the epidemic shall be to raise the value OF
good horses for time, some Of the horsemen
will not be sorry,

It ia stated that 8 Connecticut railroad is about
IN make trial Of the so-called paper car wheels
r,nder the forward truck Of their locomotives.
These wheels are costly, but run safely and easi-
": they have been known for sone time to car
builders, but their Introduction into general use
has been prevented by the expense. Sheets Of
common straw paper are forced into compact
mass by pressure Of $50 tons. The. mass Of
paper is turned perfectly round, and by pres-
sure of twenty-five tons hub il forted into 3
hole in the centre. This paper wheel, by pres
sure Of $50 tons, is next forced into asteel tire
with one-quarter Of an inch beysl upon it's inner
edge. Two circular iron plates are then bolted
on to the tire to keep the paper fllin; in place.
By this arrangement the steel tire rssts upon
the paper only, and partakes Of its elasticity. It
is claimed that these wheels wear longer than
those Of any other description, injure the tracks
less, and run with less noise.
