An Unmanageable Horse.

A beautiful and high-spirited horse
would never allow shoe t. be put on
his feet, nor any person to handle his
feet. In an attempt to shoe such a
horse recently, he resisted all efforts,
kicking aside everything but an anvil,
and came near killing himself against
that, and finally was brought back to
his stable unshod. This defect was
Just on the eve Of consigning him to
the plow, where he might work bare
foot. when an officer in our service,
lately returned from Mexico, took a
cord about the size of a common bed
cord, 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
string, 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 in
stantly the horse obeyed, perfectly SUBJ
dued and as gentle and obedient as a
we'll trained dog; suffering his feet to
be lifted with entire impunity, acting
in all respects like an old stager. The
gentleman who thus furnished this ex-
ceedingly simple means Of subduing a
very dangerous propensity, intimated
that it is practiced in Mexico and
South America in the management Of
wild horses.

NOTWITHSTANDING the rates Of
transportation on the lakes have ruled
lower the present season than during
several preceding years, business has
aggregated a much heavier tonnage,
showing that the carrying capacity Of
the lakes is largely increased. From
May Is, Of this year, 24,672, ,422 BUSH
els of wheat, and 2O,982, 800 bushels of
corn were sent forward from Buffalo by
the Erie canal. The next highest
amount of wheat forwarded by the same
channel was in 1871, when the aggre-
gate was 18,9l6,473 bushels. The to-
tai movement of grain from Buffalo in
the last four years was 50.13O,447
bushels in 1878; 48,246, 800 bushels in
1872 1854, ,254 bushels in 1871 :;
%, ,966,780 bushels in 1870. Adding
the amount of grain shipped by rail
from Buffalo elevators, during the past
eleven months. the movement Of the
present year shows an increase over
1872 of 4 ,293, ,673 bushels. Is, ,428, 1926
bushels more of wheat were sent for
ward from Buffalo in 1879 than in 1872.
AS the rates of water transportation
have this year averaged forty or fifty
per cent. less than last year, and as the
capacity Of the Erie canal, has been by
no means overtaxed, it will be seen that
the presence Of an adequate supply of
lake tonnage to do the constantly in
creasing business of the West, is an i'm
portant element of the problem Of cheap
transportation. Yet this interesting
subject, the promotion of shipbuilding
on. the lakes, and the augmentation of
the lake marine, has been persistently
overlooked by all of the reformers who
are giving the world the benefit of their
viewt. They seem to be flying for high
er game.-St. Paul Press.

The Board of Trade at Boston on the 10Th
inst. passed resolutions against the issue
of any more irredeemable paper, and rec
ommend to Congress measures to improve
the currency, and prepare the way to spe-
Gle payments. The Board of Trade Of Phil
delphia adopted similar resolutions. There
is strange feeling in the country against
any further imitation. and general desire
to get back to specie payment. It does
seem ss if the day Of gold gambling is about
to close, and what will the Wall street
fellows do then, poor things? Money is
getting easier 1T all the great centres, and
it will soon be - plentiful as before the
panic. .'~
The tendency in the wheat market is, if
anything upward, but there is as yet but
little improvement. Still, whea it is re-
membered that there has been more OF less
decline in every article we buy, we see that
wheat at 80 cts. has q purchasing power
fully as great as it had at $1.O0 before the
panic. l>~ =. ~ r 3@T

One of the most sensible letters we
have seen in the Farmers Union on the
subject of the State Agency comes from
Bro. E. T. Nelson of Fillmore Co. We
append what he says upon that subject:
My attention has been directed for
sometime past, to the correspondence
that has appeared in the columns Of the
Union, between our State Agent and
the (probably bro. J of our order, in re-
gard to the action of the executive COM
mittee and Of Bro. D. in particular.
For my own part I must say that I re-
gret very much to see such spirit dis
played as seems to be manifest in these
communications That these questions
are Of Importance to all members of the
order, none will deny, but are we gain
ing anything by such discussion, Ga
sort Of family quarreD over the first i'm.
portant question raised in the order p
Brothers, the eyes and ears of our oppo-
nents are open, and if We wish to accom-
plish anything for our mutual benefit:
let us have unity Of action, let us en-
deavor to discuss all questions in ! spir-
it Of brotherly love. For my own part,
Il believe that I can view this question
impart;ally. Now in behalf of the Exc
cutive Committee, and Bro. D., after
reading carefully this correspondence,
I fail to see anything upon their part
that would intimate an intended wrong
to the order, or that it was not their in
tention to do all in their power to &C.
complish the work assigned them. l
believe the plan proposed to be defect
i've in some respects.
But do we expect perfection imme-
diately out of chaos? If We do we sure
ly shall be disappointed. Is not an
imperfect plan (subject to discretion,
better than to plan at all ? Bros, one
great difficulty with us is, we lack con-
fdence in our fellow men. We are too
jealous Of each other. But let US start
upon some plan, imperfect though it
may be, and as its imperfections become
apparent, don't blow it to atoms as one
Bro. proposed, but let us endeavor to
perfect them in the proper spirit.
This is one privilege, and no one pro-
poses to usurp it as l understand it. I
1hink plan somewhat intermediate be-
tween those already proposed would be
avery good one. But believing that
in a, multitude of council there is
strength. I leave this to the good
sense of the members Of the State
Grange. I think that the action Of
the Executive Committee has been crit
icised rather too freely, and that Bro.

~. s.,WABAsHA, DEC. 18th, 1873.
This day is just as fine, clear, and
still as any one could wish. Sleighing
good. The town wears its usual quiet
appearance. Wheat 80 cts., but Kel-
loeg gets the lions share.
Another of our townsmen, Henry
Byers, has gone the way Of all flesh.
He was man of good moral character,
but then even good moral character. as
required by law to be qualification for
saloon keeping: is not strong enough to
save from self-destruction. There are
others in town travelling the same road,
and even now are being loudly called
for. Their time is short without a
change. How strange that all those
who deal out the poisonous fluid that
send so many to early graves, either
fall victims themselves or the money
made by such traffic proves a curse to
their families, but so it is.
The Riverside mills are again run

CoNCEET.--The concert Of the Frost
burg Welsh Glee Club at Belvidere
Hall last evening was very well at
tended. The audience would doubt
less have been much larger but for
the fact that our musiclov g people
hal already devoted two evenings in
the week to musical concerts.
The programme of the "Glee Club"
embraced solos, duets and choruses,
about fifteen voices participating in
al. Every performance was applaud
ed, and some of them were encored,
the audience evidently highly appre-
ciating tbs renditions. The sentimen-
tai pieces We're we'll received, and sew
eral OF the comical ones created great
degree of merriment. Mr.. Jonah
Esau certainly showed great proticien-
cy as a leader, and his class does him
credit. At the conclusion of the pro-
grammc the Welsh National air was
sung by request in the Welsh Ian
guage, and was finely rendered. Prof.
Michael Wiesel presided at the organ
which was kindly loaned by Mr. John
E. Buck.
Before the audience dispersed Rev
Mr.. Evans announced that another
concert will be given by the Club at
Belvidere Hall on Wednesday, Nov
3. when new programme will bG
presented.-Neps, 23d inst
