The Lafayette (Ind.) Journal of the

horse, the mate to the one that died sew.
eral months ago, is said to be actually
dying from grief at the loss of his asso.
ciate. The animal has been for some time
on pasture at Corey's farm, south of the
city. Its appetite seems to be good,
though it cats little, and seems to be con.
tinually wasting away in flesh. 1t will
have nothing whatever to do with other
horses in the pasture, and seems to be

In addition, it, every few moments, day

Scudder proposes bringing the horse back
to the city, in the hope Of curing it Of
