HE IGENOWSE Ell HORSE EDECATOR.-
Last week we briefly announced that
Prof. Magner, the great Horse trainer
would open up in this place on Satur-
day, and remain over few DAYS. The
announcement brought quite num-
Der of horse men to town who know
the reputation theProfessor has justly
acquired in the education and man.
agement Of that neblest of animals,
the horse and many wereasorely dis
appointed in not meeting him on the
OCCASION. Businesseef a pressing ma
ture detained him in New York, so
that he did not arrive here until Sat-
urday night. He will remain until
Friday Go-mefrow) morning, when
he'will start on tour through.a a num-
bef of towns in this section,as will
be seen by notice in another column.
When the Professor was here two
years ago, he treated a number of
vicious animals that had been regard
ed as entirely Uncomfortable, and in a
very brief time completely subjected
them to his will and cured them of
their vicious habits, which served to.
establish his reputation, as a horse
tanner and educator in the minds of
the people of this section - -
He has devoted many years in
studying the habits and !, management
of horses, and is regarded everywhere
where he is known as the greatest
horse educator in this country, if not
in the world. What he does in the
way of tanning horses that have been
regarded as wholly ungovernable is
truly wonderful. In from ten to fif-
teen, minutes he, will hitch, mp and
drive, without breeching, the widest
kicking runaway colts; make any
balky horse start and pull when COM
manded will teach horses that have
the habit of pulling atjthe halter in five
minutes time, to stand without at
tempting to pull loose, though whip
ped oyer the head or any frightful
object thrust before them; teach any
horse to stand gently while. being har-.
messed OF. removed from the buggy
or getting in or out Of the carriage !;
make a horse submit to having OBJ
jects of fear sneh ,asumbrellas, robes,
blankets, sc, put over, or around him
after few minutes training; make
any horse stop promptIy,I or back5 at
the word of command, with but
few minutes training. All this he ac-.
complishesy without the;resortto those
harsh means usually employed by
horse-tamers. There are few locali-
ties in this country, that have not
number of horses addicted to some
one or more of these vicious habits,
which. detracts. largely from their use-
fulness and almost aora quite destroys
their valne in the market. To know
how to treat these animals and to
