A Horrible Death.

About a month ago, says the Cecil
(NId.) Democrat, Alexander Scott, a
farmer living near Cherry Hill, indulg-
ed in an exchange of horses. The horse
he secured was u ~tine.looking animal,
but at the time was suffering from some
disease of the head. Mr.. Scott believed
it to be a "distemper," and did not
object to running the risk. About two
weeks ago Mr.. SCOTS hand began to
inil ,me from a slight wound on tho
back of it, and became in Il few days a
very ugly ulcer, causing him a great
deal of pain. Last week he became
sick of q fever, and DR.. Carter was call
cd in. He found the patient suffering
from fever, but detected nothing differ
ent from m ordinary case of intermit-
tent fever, and prescribed the usual
remedies. DR.. Carter having occasion
TO leave home, and the fever not abat-
ing, DR.. Ellis, of Elkton, was asked to
attend Mr.. Scott. At DR.. Els first WIS.,
it, last Saturday, he prescribed for in
termittent fever, having first inquired
about the sore hand, and being told
that it had nearly healed. The next
day, however, he found Mr.. Scott suf-
fering with u raging fever and covered
with "button farcy." The disease was
Enthusiastically "glanders," and had
been communicated from the glandered
horse through the break in the skin of
the hand. Mr.. Scott suffered the most
fearful agony and delirium throughout
the day and into the night of Sunday,
when death ensued. Cases of persons
suffering from "~glanders" are very
rare, but occur often enough to remind
horsemen that the proper way TO deal
with a horse suffering from this fatal
disease is to have him killed at once.
a horse may have chronic "glanders"
and live Il long time, keep fat and work
without difficulty, ye. innoculate man
and beast with the deadly virus that is
slowly sapping his existence.

A Bright Horse and a Stupid
One.

The Boston journal relates the fol-
lowing: Among the many horses
owned by the Highland Street Railway
Company is one who used to give the
hostlers a deal of trouble by slipping
his halter and roaming at will about
the stable. The halter was on each
occasion buckled on as tightly as posi-
BILE, but to no purpose, for the horse
would invariably be found half an hour
afterward making a dignifed tour of
the stable. This became m~onotonous
to the hostler, and he determined to as
certain the mOdaS Opcrandi by which
his equine friend secured his liberty.
Again the halter was tightly buckled
on, and taking seat where he could
watch his troublesome charge, he wait
ed developments. Pretty soon q horse
who stood beside the troublesome n
was observed to poke his nose into his
neighbours stall and, catching the end
of the halter-strap between his teeth, he
pulled at it. His first, second, and
third attempts to unloose the buckle
we're unavailing, but with remarkable
perseverance, the horse returned to his
work repeatedly, and finally out drop
ped the buckle-tongue, the throat'strap
fell and the horse of inquisitive mind
was soon stalking about the stable again.
A change of location was of course a
necessity. A large, homely, piebald
gelding owned by this company, u ed
to manifest a strange regard for white
mare he formerly worked beside.
In the stable he was hitched
with a rope halter, and, until a
chain was substituted, he used to gnaw
Off his halter, march deliberately to the
stall occupied by his mate, and squeeze
himself into the same stall, which was
only large enough to accommodate one
horse comfortably, and Il good deal of
effort was required to separate the
equines after they had become wedged
in so closely.
