VQussr Clergyman and the Results Of His
Queer Acts.

Queer Acts.
Quincy, Illinois, is cursed by miserable scan-
dal case. A Methodist minister named Hoffman
is the accused party, and Of course there is a
woman in the Casa Mrs. Chatten. It Is q
church Investigation, and as usual in extra judi
cial investigations the door to all manner Of tes-
timony is thrown open. In this case q Judge
Mitchell testified as to what Mrs. Chatten had
told him as to improprieties attempted and COM
mitted towards her by the Rev. Hoffman. After
this testimony became known about town the
husband of Mrs. Chatten met Judge Mitchell on
the street. and Chatten attacked Mitchell with
Q whip. Mitchell drew pistol and fired. Chat
ten pulled his revolver and returned the shot.
E1oh fired twice, when q brother of Ohatten
standing near caught up a brick anu struck
Mitchell q blow that staggered him and by
which he dropped his pistol Judge Mitchell
then retreated, followed by Chatten, whs fired
twice more, one shot hitting Mitchell and the
other hitting 8 farmer who was seated on load
Of wood. The result was four law suits, but no.
body fatally injured. Mrs. Chatten now pro-
poses to swear that what she told Mitchell was
not true, but there seems to be other testimony
showing that she wrote love letters to Hoffman,
and that he has been 'Impudent" with other fs-
males of his charge.

BUYING A HORSE.

Examine the eye in the stable, then in
the light; if they are in any degree defec-
tive, reject. Examine the teeth to deter
mine the age. Examine the poll or crown
of the head, and the withers or top Of the
shoulders, as the former is the seat of poll
evil, and the latter that of fstula. Exam
inc the front feet, and if the frog has
fallen or settled down between the heels
of the shoes, and the heels are contracted,
reject him. as he, if not already lame, is
liable to become so at any minute. Next
observe the knees aud ankles of the horse
you desire to purchase, and if cooked YOU
may be sure that it is the result ofthe mis-
placement of the internal organs of the
toot, 4 consequence of the neglect of the
| form of the foot and judicious shoeing.
Examine for interfering, from the ankle
to the knees, and if it proves that he cuts
the knee or the leg between the knee and
ankle, orthe latter badly, reject. SPEEDY
cuts of the knee and leg are most serious
in their effects. Many trotting horses.
which would be of great value were it not
for this single defect, are by it rendered
valueless. Carefully examine the hoofs
for cracks in the hoofs. If cracks are OBJ
servable IN any degree, reject. Also both
look and feel for ringbones, which are
callosities on the pastern near the feet;
if apparent, reject. Examine the feet for
the same defects Of the foot and ankle that
we have named in connection with the
front foot. Then proceed to the hook,
which is the seat of curb and both bone
| and blood spavns. The former is bony
enlargement of the posterior and lower
portion of the hook Joint; the second
bony excresence of the lower, inner and
rather anterior portion OF the hook; and
the last is soft enlargement of the
synovial membrane on the inner and upper
portion of the hook They are either of
them sufficient for rejecting. See that
the horse stands with the front feet we'll
under him, and observe both the heels of
the feet and shoes to see if he "forges" or
overreaches; ard in case he does, and
the toes of the front are low, the heels
high and the heels of the front shoes of
good thickness, and the toes of the hind
feet are of no proper length, reject him;
for if he still overreachts with his feet in
the condition described, he is incurable.
If he props out both front feet or points
them alternately, reject. In testing the
driving qualities, take the reins while on
the ground, invite the owner to get in the
vehicle first, then drive yourself. Avoid
the display or the use OF the whip; and ifhe
has not sufficient spirit to exhibit his best
speed without it, reject. Should he drive
satisfactorily without, it will then be prop
er to test his amiability and the extent of
his training in the use of the whip.
Thoroughly test his walking qualities first,
as that gait is more important in the horse
of all work than great trotting speed
The value of horse. safe for all purposes
without blinds, is greatly enhanced there
