Valuable Bones.

Probably the most valuable human re-
mains in the United States just now are
those of William Jennings, whose funeral
took place ninety-nine years ago in Notta-
way county, Virginia. AS has been the
case with many greater mans grave, the
particular mound under which Mister, or
Major, or Colonel Jennings (for he was a
British oficer) reposes long since passed
from the memory of the oldest inhabitant,
even the fact that he was buried in his awe
inspiring regimentals not serving to keep
in mind the exact spot where he was laid
away in the old burying- ground. Now,
after all these ninety-nine years, the bones
of-say Colonel-Jennings are needed to
prove that he was actually buried in Notta-
way county, and that he was the Jennings
who was an officer in his Majesty's service.
A fortune ofeighty million dollars, in Eng
land, is said to be involved in the finding
and Identification of his remains, and a
crunlsd thnE SAL-...;4al .--:Al--a-a---
relied upon as evidence of his identity.
Many graves have been opened in the
gloomy old cemetery, but no rusty sword
has appeared to the searchers, and the
eighty million may go to the wrong heir
in spite of all the stir that has been made
among the early settlers, who, perhaps,
would have built lasting monument to
Jennings if they had known that they were
to be disturbed after sleeping peacefully SO
many years. Most of the fortunes in Eng
land that we hear of as about to fall to
somebody are nottrammeled by demnition

the expectant heirs as these jennings

Balky Horses.

The Society for the prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, puts forth a set of rules for the
treatment of balky horses:
1. Pat the horse upon the neck; examine
the harness carefully, first upon one side
and then upon the other, speaking encour-
agingly while doing so; then jump into the
wagon and give the word go; generally he
will obey. -
2. A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out OF
the shafts and making him go round in a
circle till he is giddy. If the first dance OF
this sort doesn't cure him, the second will.
5. To cure balky horse, simply place
| your hand over the horse s nose and shut OF
his wind until he wants to go.
4. The brain of horse seems to enter
tain but one idea at a time; therefore con
tinued whipping only confirms his stubborn
resolve. If you can, by any means, Civ
him new subject to think of, you will gen
orally have no trouble in starting him. 1
simple remedy is to take couple OF turn
of stout twine around the foreleg, just be
low the knee, tight enough for the horse
i feel, and tie in bow knot. At the firs

mense suspension bridge which is to connect
her with New York, aud which is to be six
