The twenty third Presidential election,

means of being thoroughly well informed.
The WEEKLY Sun, which has attained
a circulation of over eighty thousand

IA New Dog Story.

l..f .t. Is NtNF'
Last Thursday evening Eddie Gcrrold
aged nine years, of Newtonville, a small
hamlet in the Interior of Watervliet
went into the woods in the rear of hi
fathers house to gather some nuts, HI
obtained a little bag from his mother, a
his urgent request, to put the nuts in, an,
started off for the woods in high glee, A
evening advanced, he did not return, ant
his parents became anxious, and went il
search of him. but faiid to find him
They continued their search all day fri

and after remaining there for some time,
he ran into a Mrs. Scovill's house next
door, and grasped u loaf Of bread that the
lady Of the house had put under the stove
and off with it in his mouth in the direc.
ton of the woods. When Mr.. Scovill re.
turned, his wife related the incident to
him and he felt surprised, as Jack had al.
ways maintained a character for strict
honesty. lie in turn related the incident
to Mr.. Gerrold, and that gentleman felt
pretty certain that the dog had some idea
of where the child was, and new hope was
inspired in the family, and they waited
impatiently for the dogs return. Finally
he did return in about an hour, and ex
hlblted the same uneasiucss that was re
marked before. After trying various
ruses to attract the family to follow him
to the wood, he iually started in that
dir ction with moro than half of the resi-
dents Of the hamlet after him. lie led
them through a many winding paths, until
at last they reached a chestnut grove, and
there they found the boy lying under a
tree with his left leg broken. The boy
himself told the facts of the case to our
reporter substantially as follows: He
was upon the tree and shaking it with all
his might to shake off tho nuts lost his
hold and tunbled down, his leg striking
the ground with force. He tainted, and
the first thing that met his gaze when he
became conscious was the dog standing
over him. This was on Friday evening,
and the dog never left his side. but kept
barking with all his might until Saturday
morning. The pangs Of hunger the hoy
'elt pretty keenly at this time and he made
an attempt to reach some nuts that Law
on the ground a short distance from him
When the dog observed this he started
off, and returned in short time viii the
loaf in his mouth, which he deposited in
the boys lap. He ate of it with relish
and then became lonesome and be !an to
cry. The dog started off again, and this
time returned with his friends to hinr.
The boy was removed home and a doctor
summoned from Cohoes, who set the

Care of Our Horses.
RETIRED FARMER.

"A merciful man is merciful to his
beast" and it is not the amount Of food
aud care giving to the horse thrt insured
his hsalth and good condition, Blu. tho
times and manner of application. There
are times when a horse should have full
feed and other times when he should
have a small one. The heaviest feed
should be in the evening after his days
work is done. His appetite is then graf
flied he lies down to rest, and will mist
likely lie till morning. BY the time his
food is digeStcd, his system is rested
he gets up refreshed with a good appetite.
His morning meal should not be an over
full one-not so full as that of the pre-.
vlous evening. He should be driven or
worked moderately for the first hour or
two. After that his speed or labor may
be increased if there is any urgent ne.
cessity for it. His midday feed should be
smaller thar that of his morning or even.
ing-it should be the smallest meal of
the day, and he will travel or work on
1t during the afternoon with more vigor
and less exhaust on than he would
have done on a full feed and will enjoy
his evening meal with a greater relish.
If a horse is very thirsty do not give
him over two gallons of water. He will
perhaps want four or five, but such a
drink would do more harm than good.
lie will be more refreshed and better
able to perform his duty after drinking
two gallons than he would after drinking
four. 1t is necessary sometimes to re.
strain the appetite, even with water.
and this requires some judgment and dis.
%cletion.
Never suffer a horse, that has been
driven or worked through the day, to
spend the night without first having been
cleaned aud his legs well rubbed down.
Thi. operation,if well performed, is worth
half a feeds worth more to the owner
than the price Of many feeds. The same
operation should be performed in the
morning. In fact, a horse should never
be taken out of the stable. to either work
or ~tra7el, without first having his legs
we'll rubbed down. 1t stimulates the
circulation and opens the pores of the
skin horse then feels that be has
limbs, aud enjoys a pleasure in using
them.
Always cultivate an acquaintance with
your horse-be on friendly terms with
him talk to him int kindly tone of
voice, pat him on the neck, and even sing
or whistle to him, for he is fond of music
and these little attentions are not lost ON
him. Pail a handful of grass by tie
roadside and feed it to him. II he is
tried and worn down, it is astonishing
how these little attentions will encourage
and cheer him up.
Now let US tell you what not to do.
DO not swear at nor Sc1li him. Do not
whip him. lfhe has faults. try to coax
him out of them by kin lily treatment;
but if You try to whip him out of them,
YOU will whip him the deeper into
them. He has a spirit of resentment, if
you rouse it in him, as well as you AM
you having the greater reasoning power
ought to show the example.
