Death of an old HorSe.-Geu. Otto Frederick
Marshall, of the town of Wheeler, Steuben CO.,
owned for twenty-five years horse that died
a short time since, apparently because he felt
himself injured or sighted by his master The
horse was twenty eight years old, and appear
ed as we'll as usual. Gen. Marshall had driv-
en- him to the post-ofice, distance of one
mile and a-half, once a day during all that
time. Every day, unless it was Sunday, the
DIT borse made his regular pilgrimage, driven
by his master to The post-ofice. At length one
evening short time ago, inc General thought
he would drive another horse and leave the Old
horse at home. On his way back from the Of
missed that something wrong had happened. and
had broken out of the pasture. The old fellow
made his trip as usual to the post-office, and re-
turning, entered the pasture, lay down and died.

Fight a0ih Horse.-A teamster, named Joe
Allen, lately purchased horse in Genesee co.,
Mich, and finding the animal ugly and obsti-
nate. prepared to break him into suhentinn -
A. z .lInIselI with a neavy whip -.
Allen went into the stable about 10 o'clock SUI
day morning and proceeded to business. The
animal bit him as ne tried to enter the stall,
and Allen stood back and "peeled" him with
the whip. The horse kicked and paved for
awhile, and then sagged back, swapping the
halter and came out on the floor with busi-
ness look in his eye which was truly appalling.
Allen retreated after seeing an open mouth
snap together about an inch from his nose. By
shouting and whipping he frightened the horse
back few feet and then got under the stairs,
where, for about half an hour or until his wife
could gather crowd, he was held prisoner,
having all ne could do to keep the horse from
dragging him out.

Horse Notes.

Rational -Shoeing.-Foot-lamene in
horses is an evil so common, and against which
the horse-owner struggles so Intellectually, that
the world is waiting for some one who will
teach more excellent way of mailing iron to
the organic structure of the animal, to increase
his usefulness without destroying his powers OF
action.
d. 1t is claimed that this desired result is OBJ
taned by the shoe, and the system of applying
it, invented by Mr.. Goodenough, which has
been in use in some parts of this country and
Europe for several years. The object of this
system is to protect the hoof from wearing
away by attrition, but at the same time to al
low to the horse its natural use and action
The motto of this system is, "No frog, no foot
no foct no tnrse.D a. saving abnndariig sisA's-
- SSzs.>aI1Siy the Keynote s. the whole
method. From his first to his last page, evil
dair" enforces the truth, that without the ac-
tion of the frog on the ground there can be no
healthful condition Of the foot. We cannot do
better, perhaps, than to quote from page IL of
the book on this point:
'The world is for the most part lin horse
shoeing) Just where it was a thousand years
ago, possibly worse off, for the original purpose
of shoeing was only to protect the foot from at
triton or chipping and but little iron was used
but, as the utility of the operation became ap-
parent, the smith boldly took the responsible
ty of altering the form of the hoof to suit his
own unreasoning views, cutting away, as su-
perfuous, the sole and bars, pairing the frog to
a shapely smoothness, and then mailing on a
broad, heavy piece of iron, covering not only the
wall, but portion of the sole also, thus putting
it out of the power of the horse to take natur-
al, elastic step.
In short time the hoof, embraced by the
sole and bars, begins to contract, the action of
the frog upon the ground, which in the natural
foot is three-fo fold, acting as cushion to receive
the force of the blow, and thus relieve the
nerves and joints of the leg from conclusion,
opening and expanding the hoof by its upward
pressure, quickening the circulation, and there
by stimulating the natural secretions-ths all
important part of the organization, without
which there is no foot and no horse, becomes
hard, dry, and useless. Then follows the whole
train of direful consequences.

The following items are from the Turf Fieh

The following items are from the IWTT FteId
and Farm of Sd instant:
Hos0 to Subdue an unmGnageable Horse.--A
gentleman out West recently purchased high
spirited horse that had never been shod.-
On the smith attempting to shoe him he resist
ed all efforts, kicked aside everything, and
nearly crippled himself against the anvil, when
he was finally returned to his stable unshod.-
In despair his owner was about consigning him
to the pillow, when an officer, who had fought in
the Mexican war, took cord about the size Of
a common BEDFORD, put it in the mouth of the
horse like bit, and tied it tightly on the ami
mails head, passing his left ear under the cord,
not painfully tight, but tight enough to keep
the ear down and the cord in its place. This
done, he patted the horse gently on the side of
the head, and commanded him to follow, and
instantly the horse obeyed, perfectly subdued
and gentle and obedient as well-trained
dog; suffering his feet to be lifted with entire
impunty, acting in all respects like an old
stager. The officer states that this was means
resorted to in Mexico and South America for
subduing wild horses. The plan is as ingeni-
GUS as it is simple, and well worth the attention
of those who have unmanageable horses.

THE PAY OF CONGRe SEMEN.

The Democracy in Congress last year,
with their usual fidelity to the ''ancient
traditions, voted in favor of giving them
selves increased pay, and Immediately
their organs charged the extravaganza to
the account of the Republicans. For, as
they truly remarked, the Republicans
having a majority in both houses, could
have restrained the grasping tendencies of
the Democratic members if they had been
SO disposed. To prove their sincerity,
they nominated Fernando Wood, one of
the leading champions Of the salary bill,
tor the Speakers chair at the beginning
of the present session, which proved that
they are ready to reward their own
members for doing things which they
condemn in Republicans. Now we have
never supposed that the salary fixed
by Congress for its members to
be SO very eXorbitant. The rate of
pay is relative, aud should be proper
toned to the service required, and the
ability displayed in discharging it. And
as the people have left this matter solely
to the discretion of Congress, there is no
propriety in establishing rules after the
act has been done. The claim to back
pay is founded upon precedent, which, if
bad one, ought not to be followed, of
course; but it is too late in the day to be
surprised at a performance on its third
representation.
There may be some little political capt.
tai in the agitation of this question, and
even Democratic members compelled to
come to the scratch and vote to reduce
their pay; but we do not see any consis-
tency in charging all the blame, if there
be any, upon one party.

upon the flag and the rights Of humanity?
When the government of Spain has not
even disavowed the acts Of these butchers,
how can we expect them to be punished?
Indeed, when an abolition and Republi-
can newspaper speaks in such light tone
OF these Modoc deeds; when it sets them
down to an 'intemperate zeal" in the SER
vice of government, how can the Tribune
expect any punishment at the hands of
the government whose commands they
have not disobeyed? The Tribune even
prejudges the resignation of General
Sicklea, and pronounces him not fit for
the duties of his position.
We regret to observe such tone in a
Republican journal. It breathes not one
sigh for the memory of the murdered. 1t
lifts no indignant look to the spot on the
flag.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs may be
soothed into the belief that all goes
smoothly" for the Modocs of Cuba, but
he may find that the American people will
not ratify an act of humiliation when
perpetrated by their own government.
Neither the Tribune nor the State Depart
ment have seen ''the last phase OF the
Virginius" yet

Gently shot and killed Joseph Ailbau in
q row, at a ball given at Draw Bridge.
| The friends of Ailbau then threatened to
lynch Veazie, and were actually on their
way to St. Martinsville for that purpose,
when one of the party, son OF Alexander
Declouet, accidentally shot himself and
| died on the spot where the accident &C.
Cured This put stop to the lynching
expedition; but it is feared that more
trouble will ensue from the affair. 1t is
unfortunate that. those who are intrusted
with the enforcement of the laws and the
preservation of the peace in St. Martin
parish do not perform their duty. If they
| would do this, or make an effort to do it,
we believe they would be sustained by the
law-abiding people of the parish 1t is
lust such brawls as this that will now be
cited by the enemies of the present State
government to show that it is incapable
of preserving the peace; and when it in
terferes for the purpose Of restoring order
it will be accused Of being tyrannical. 1t
is wonder that the trouble in st. Martin
parish has not already been heralded as
evidence Of the peoples dissatisfaction
with Governor Kellogg, and given as a
reason why the Washington government
should turn him out and make McEnery
Governor. 1t is the duty of parish Off
Gals vested with authority to preserve the |
peace to do SO in their respective parishes,
and where this is not done it is because, |
in most instances, they do not do their |
duty, and are not good officers. If parish |
officials would enforce the laws in their |
parishes it is quite evident that vigilance
committees could not long exist, and that
wrong-doers of every kind would be ar
rested and brought to justice. The law
promptly enforced leaves no excuse for
vigilance committees Or the lynching pro-
cess as measure of arresting crime, and
to secure this Governor Kellogg must
hold parish officials responsible for IN
checked lawlessness.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS.

The positive enforcement of the laws in
Bossier parish during the last few months
has had most excellent effect OH the
Ku-Klax of that portion Of our State.
We understand that several of the
most dangerous of this bloody order
have already emigrated and that others
are preparing to go to Texas. The
courts-district and parish-now find no
difficulty in holding their terms. We
have before US the report of the grand
jury for the November term Of the district
court CT the Eighteenth Judicial District,
recently held at Bellevue, in Bossier
parish, Judge W. E. Turner presiding.
This document informs the public that
forty true bills for various offenses against
the criminal laws Of the State were found
many Of them indictments for murder,
The same report mentions that according
to the records submitted, the official
duties of the parish judge are discharged
III that prompt and efficient manner that
tends to check crime in its incipiency and
bring evil doors to justice
While this encouraging news comes to
us from the northern and frontier portion
OF our State through reliable sources. it
seems that closer to the seat of govern
ment more of less difficulty is experienced
IN enforcing the laws. 1t seems that a
feud between two families is causing some
trouble in st. Martin parish. A. veaze,

The thought naturally arises, however,
from the subject; and it is very hard to
imagine q world of benevolent beings,

while millions of their fellow-creatures,

writhing in agony before their eyes, and
assaulting their ears with sounds as OF
''snarling and gnashing of teeth" No;

such circumstances; and if the doctrine
be true, then however esctatic may be the
