AT the request of some OF my friends

for volunteers and a company rais.d In
this county. OF which Isaac Watkins
was captain, Joshua jackson first lleu-
tenant, Michael Collier second lleuten
aut. A few days after organizing we
were in our saddles and left Tor the
army at the North. At the end OF our
first days march we camped on SIX
Mile creek. The next day, when we
had travelled but short distance, a
small shoate was observed on the side
OF the rsod, with several other hogs
The shoate followed US to the Kentucky
river, starting from the northeastern
portion OF Henry county After we
crossed the river, the pig seemed to
linger on the bank as if it wished to
cross. 1t was taken into the boat and
rowed across, when it Immediately lea
ped out, and started off at brisk .trot
after the company. 1t followed us
through CINCINNATI, on through ILL.,
nois; then we went into camp A ehort
time after, we again took up our line
o. march, followed by the pig to San
dusky, then to Fort Meigs, thence to
the river R Aisiu, from there TO Pigeon
town aud then to Detroit, where the
army camped for some time. The ex,
ped,tion WAS then conducted around
Lake Superior, then we marched up
the river Thames, the pig still follow
ing. Thence scross the swamps to Har-
rls and Johuston's battle grouId; 1t

BOytnx u Horse.

First, acquire knowledge OF horses,
80 as to know good horse when you
see one that is a model. There it more
money lost. and more honest men are
defrsuded in buying and selling horses
than in any other product Of the farm.
For the last twenty years have had all
sorts and shapes OF horses, from the
pony to the Shanghai, and the greatest
weight in the least bulk is the animal
for service. A horse weighing from
LOO to 400 pounds is large enough
for rarm work.
You must understand what you want
An animal for bsfore you 60 to buy
One minute is long enough to examine
the standiog points of a horse These
are: A good lively eye. inclined to
hazel, and pleasant countensnce ; q
fat leg and open foot; shoulders set
rather back, and no objection il it is
slightly archeI; the proper shape OF the
hinder parts depends on what you wish
the horse to perform.
The prevailing blemishes are blind
mesa or weak eyes, ringbone. SPAWN,
hooibound, curbed or thorough pinned,
stifled, etc all of which an expert OBJ
server will detect in one minutes time.
The heayes is the most difficult to de-
tect, as that depends upon the treat
ment the animal has had Tor the week
previous. The thumps. or pslpitstion
OF the heart, may be detected easily, by
moving and exciting the horse, and
stopping tim suddenly. As to the age
OF horse hurting him, six years old, il
sound then, he is good Tor twelve or
twenty years service yet.
judging the age OF q horse by his
mouth is very uncertain. You can tell
to q certainty within one year, until he
is six years old, then you must judge
from general appearance Some judges
rely on the tusk, but some horses never
have any tusks-about the same num-
Der of mares have tusks as horses have
none.
Some men will tell you that they
know the age OF horse by the Jaw, or
the wrinkles about ,he eye, or by the
joints of the tail. You nigh. as we'll
say that you know the age OF man by
the wrinkles in his face. The wearing
Of the teeth depends upon the general
health and lungs OF the animal. Bad
teeth follow diseased lungs.
In purchasing horse, rely upon your
judgment, ard when you trade do not
ask neighbor, as every man ought TO
know his own business II there is
much talking to be done, let the other
do it. What you say let it be to the
point, and stand to it.
