A SINGULAR complaint affected hors in
a city up North. Its feet turned up in
front, aud were as timber as IL hanging by
the skin only. The animal was killed to
place II out Of the great suffering it endur-
cd. The feet were cut OF and examined,
but nothing unusual found, except that the
inner parts Of them were a. dry as dust, and
hal no circulation Of blood. None OF the
Veterinary Surgeons called 70 examine
them, were abs to account for il.
THERE is some poetry in farm life after
all, what though bad crops, biting and I'M
timely frosts and storms, cut worms and
grasshoppers, and hundreds Of other him
ORANGES too frequently come to knock the
poetry part into fits. There's poetry in the
green fields and running waters, the waving
grain and growing corn, the plowman's
idle hum. as he "drives his team a-6eld,'
the upturned sod, the cattle and the sheep,
and in the barns well filled when Autumn,
the ripencd season comes.
TnE Richmond Register says that son
Of Robert Bonner. purchased Of Madison
county man, the mother OF the famous
trotting horse, Grafton. She is Is years
old, and a large sum, amount not known,
was paid for the old mare. The Bonner's
are all fond Of, and are good judges OF
horse aesh. especially, IL they are Of trot-
ting stock, and doubtless Mr.. Bonner saw
that there was something in the mother Of
a horse which trotted ut Swear old, a
mile in 2:25.
SOME one has said that good snowfall,
IL il should stay on the ground long enough,
is fertilizer. Chemists say that il has a
peculiar effect upon the soil, rendering IL
81 easier cultivation and more productive
This being true, we have cause to congratu-
late ourselves upon the late strange spell Of
weather. God has blessed us all in many
mysterious ways. and this snow may be a
blessing in disguise. Let us hope that II is,
for thousands have suffered from the cold
during the past few days.
DASvILIE CouRr DAY. - The County
Court for BOYLE county, was held on Mon
day last Capt. II. 7. Bush. auctioneer, re-
ports as follows; The weather was very in
element, and consequently. a smaller crowd

on the market-Cattle sold from 3 to Acts
for feeders; Beef cattle from ~ to cents
per hundred; aged mules from $50 to si25
per head; Horses sold low, except few
young animals which sold at prices vary
ing from 1925 to $40 each; one fine Jack

As the price Of Irish Potatoes is merely
nominal, offering at 10 to 80 cents per bush
Ell, we presume that planters will think il
hardly necessary to plant many the present
season. In this, they may be mistaken.
Last year was an extraordinarily good
one for these tubers, and as they will not
keep through the summer, there will be
great demand for them next year, and
gardeners would do well to plant the usual
crop. Perhaps they may fail this sumner,
to great extent. and II they should, those
which are grown in 1876, would command
good price
