CLARENDON.
The largest and pleasantest gathering we
have had in our town for long time, came
off last Wednesday evening, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Elias Stewart, in the shape
Of a surprise party Mr.. Stewart and wife
were invited out to tea that afternoon,
when they returned home, TO their surprise
they found their house completely filed to
overlooking The guests were mainly from
Clarendon and Wallingford. ! noticed
some from Rutland. The company con-
sisted of all ages from ten to cighty-tiye
years. The venerable Dyer rownshend,
ESQ.,, of Wallingford, was present, he look
cd hale and hearty. He informed me that
he was So years of age. and that be was
never confined to the house a day in his
life with sickness--a remarkable man. The
tables in the dining room fairly groaned
under the loads of delicious viands, and the
supper was just such an oyster supper
rs the ladies of Clarendon and
Wallingford know how 10 get up.
The tables would seat only about twenty
at time, and they were filled six times,
and everyone was more than supplied, and
the evening passed off so pleasantly and
altogether to soon, when the company he

arranged matters TO the satisfaction of all.

SIR You wished me to write you in re-
gard to old Pete. He is still living, is
foTty-two years old this spring, looks very
well, and is as sound as a silver dollar. He
can jump any board fence in the place. He
has no grain of any kind and runs out to a
straw stack. He does better out than in
the barn. He was used all last season.

Scipioville, Feb. 5, 1876
Never in the history of the horse has the
market been so dull or the prices so low as
at the present time. Sound road horses,
without speed, that were formerly bringing
5000, will not now fetch over $50 trot-
tiers that can show $40, and that lately
brought from SO 200 to So, 500 can now be
bought for from $500 to 81 900 while
800 and $50 horses. that short time
since, 5000 and $500 was thought to be
low for, are . hard sale at from $3.50 to
$780,
Cribbing is caused in the first place by
some foreign substance being pressed be.
tween the teeth, or by the front teeth grow
ing too close together, thus causing pain.
The horse, to avoid this, instinchvely pulls
at any hard substance, thus spreading the
pDints of the teeth, and by that means af-
fordng temporary relief. To remedy this
fault, it is only necessary to saw between
the teeth with very thin saw this re-
lieves the teeth of all side pressure, and eff
fectually ends the trouble. The gulping
of wind and the gurgling in the throat are
effects that will cease with the removal
of the cause.
HOW TO BREAK COLTS.
A practical stock man gives his expert
ence in breaking colts as follows;
A good and cheap breaking rig is
made with two hickory poles, three feet
longer than sulky shafts and little thick
er bolt them to the axle (you need but
two wheels let the poles project three
feet in the rear of the axle have two
holes bored in the ends, thus projecting
about eight inches apart fit to these poles
two bows, similar to OK bows, and long
enough to come within ten inches of the
ground when the shafts are in proper posi-
ton for driving these need only to be
used when you have colt that is disposed
to rear up, these bows strike the ground
and effectually prevent him from doing
so always use kicking rope or strap; put
it ON after the colt is in harness;
it is two ropes fastened to the
check bit they run over the head
same as Kimblc Jackson's check the
run then through the ferret of the saddle
and along the back to point just back of
