EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE.

That was rather singular adventure
which befel Capt. McDaniels, a Canons-
burg Pa, merchant. The Captain started
to New York in October last to buy goods,
for which purpose he carried with him
81 900 in greenbacks. In crossing over
from Jersey City lie fell in with an agree
able stranger. While walking up the street
lit was night the stranger proposed cup
of coffee, which the bucolc merchant ac-
cepted. They sauntered into a coffee-house
and, after drinking two cups Of the bever-
age, Capt. McDaniels lost all consciousness.
After a while be awoke up to find that he
had been drugged and robded Of every
thing valuable about his person. He again
lapsed into insensiblity, and when conscious.
ness returned the second time he then die.
covered that he was confined 10 the hold Of
a ship far out at sea. From the ship be was
silently transferred to . yawl- boat, and BY
two sailors rowed to shore, some miles Of,
and was left to his own solitary reflections.
He crept into the bushes and waited for the
dawn. Shortly three horsemen passed by,
and hailing them, be found himself pris-
oner' to three soldiers. speaking tongue
with which he was unacqusinted. They
treated him with great indignity. chaining
him to stockadeN where negroes were al
ready confined. One Of the negroes could
speak a little English, and he gathered that
the Spaniayds of Cuba were bis. captions.
He was released by midnight attack Of
negro guerillas on the post. After wan
dering for several days with these partisans
he effected his escape, and, guided by the
sound of guns of Moro Castle, reached
Havana. Here he engaged as clerk ip .
shipping house, where he remained until
sufficient funds were obta ned to 60 to New
Orleans From the Crescent City he re-
turued to his home in Pennsylvania, owhere
be arrived few days ago. vIao 81 sbsm

Care Of Horses.

All horses must not be fed in the same
proportions, without regard to their ages,
their constitutions and their work, the
inpropriety of such practice is selt-eVl-
dent, Yet it is constantly done, and is the
basis of disease of every kind.
Never use bad hay on account OF lis
cheapness, because there is no proper
nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly injurious
because it brings Oh inflammation OF the
bowels and skin diseases.
Chaff is better for old horses than hay,
because they can chew and digest it better.
Mix chaff with corn or beans, and DO
not give the latter alone, because 1t makes
the horse chew his food more and digest IL
better.
Hay or grass alone will not support a
horse under hard work, because there IS
not sufficient nutritive body in either. :,
When horse is worked hard its 1000
should be mostly oats-if not worked hafd
it's food should be chiefly hay-because
oats supply more nOurishment and 1lesn
making material than any other kind OF
food hay not 50 much.
For q saddle CT coach horse, half peck
of sound oats and eighteen pounds OF good
hay are sufficient. If the hay is not good,
add quart or peck more oats. A horse
which works harder may have rather more
| of each; one that works little should nave
| less.
Rack feeding is wasteful. The better
| plan is to feed with chopped hay, from a
manger, because the food is not then
thrown about and is more easily cheWed
and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that has
salt dissolved in it, because it is pleasing
to the animals taste and more easily dl'
gested. A teaspoonful of salt i'll bucket
of water is sufficient.
Oats should be bruised for an old horse
but not for young one, because the for
mer through age and defective teeth, cal
not chew them properly, the young horse
can do so, and they are thus properly mix
ed with saliva and turned into whole
some nutriment.-LondOnH Horse BOOK.
