Stable Floors.

Much has been written upon the best ma |
terial and style for the floors of stalls for |
horses. All agree that nothing is SO well |
suited to promote the comfort of the ami |
mai, and to preserve the feet aud legs in
healthy condition as a level bed of earth.
But for obvious reasons this is regarded as
impracticable in our climate. In England
it has heretofore been the cdstom to pave
the floors of stalls, usually with cobble
stone. giving them slight inclination eth
| er 10 the rear or the center. where gutter
or CRATE received the urine,
Recently good authorities have approved
| of the American plan OF using the chestnut
| or oak plank instead of stone. and trial In
| London l. laid to have proved that horses
stand with more ease and safety on wood.
| The great objection to our common stable
floors is the pitch Iof from one to four
inches. which is given for the purpose of
draining Of the urine. This is often much
| larger than is necessary. but any inclina
ton to the rear is injurious. for the reason
| that the toes of the animal are thereby
turned up. and the back sinews, especially
OF the iorelegS. kept in sort of unatural
tension. Most men would object 10 being
compelled to stand upon their heels, AMI
horses ia pasture are seen to stand with
there fore feet In holes which they have
stamped out ofthe soil. This enables them
to remove the strain from the back sinews
and give them rest.
One of the best devices for overcoming
this difficulty in stable floors has heretofore
been a sort Of wooden grating or movable
floor placed upon the ordinary planking.
the rear end Of the pieces composing il be
ing two or three inches thicker thau the
her end, aud the pieces being fastened
halt an inch apart, - as 10 allow the urine
to flow down to the lower floor. and then
to the gutter in the rear. As usual. This ar
rangement is somewhat expensive and
troublesome. and better one Is desirable.
+ The following plan has been devised and
adopted. AID seems to answer every re-
! quirement. 4 door of plank, with an incli-
nation TO the rear of two inches. is laid in
the ordinary manner, except that the
, plank, extend only to within two feet Of
the front of the manger. The spaces be-
tween the ends Of the planking and manger
are covered with pieces which are of the
same thickness with the planks where they
! join them. but are sawed 20 a. to be an
inch and half thinner at the manger'
Thus pitch forward OF an inch and halt
I in two feet is obtained, aud the horse can
stand as suits him best. either as when at
rest in the field, or on the line of junction
] with his fore feet level. or back OF it with
t his toes turned up. The urine flows to the
rear a usual. aud the extra expense i
merely nominal.

A Horrible Mystery!


| Yesterday about one o'clock d. m.
the frame building No. Is No tn street.
occupied by a colored man and wife
by the name of Benson was discovered
to be on fire. The alarm was given
and the Fire Department turned out,
and after great exertions the flames
were gotten under control, and the
chief ordered a hole to be cut through
the roof. After cutting quite hole,
one of the fremen jumped in, and to
his borrow found the corpse of man
who had been burned to almost q coal.
After the flames had been entirely ex-
tinguished the body was lowered to
the ground, when it was fonnd to be
the body of the colored man who oc-
cupied the house, and who had been
bedridden for twelve or eighteen
months. During the fire the widest
excitement prevailed among the col
Ored people in the neighborhcod,
some of whom declared that when the
fire first broke out they saw q man go
on the roof of the burning house to
cxtinguish the fire, when he fell in
and was seen no more, and some
claimed that the body taken from the
building was the body of this man,
while others were positive that it was
the body of Cudger Benson, as after
wards proven. We sought the wife of
the unfortune man, who informed us |
that her husband had been sick for a |
long time with consumption, and was
perfectly unable to help himself, and |
at times he displayed symptoms o.
insanity. Yesterday she had occasion
to 60 a short distance from home, and
on leaving her husband was asked oy
him if she was going out. aud if SO, not
to stay long. She promised to return
soon and " ent out. leaving tue door of
their room unlocked, not dreaming of
any danger. She further stated that
when she left home her husband was
in their bed room alone. He had lain
for long time unable to move; but
strange to say his body WAS found i'll
a small attic, into which one could
only gain access by ascending steep
but short pair of steps.
Another account of the affair is,
however, that when the building was
first discovered on fire the sick man
was carried in the yard, but during
he excitement Of the fire he became
and insisted on returning to
lis own room, from which he was
AIKEN, he rushed to the attic, where,
)y the heat and smoke, was over
and finally burned. The
body was carried some distance from
he building to await the action of the
coroner. The house WAS partially i'll
ured.
AT i o'clock yesterday afternoon an
WAS held, and the jury, after
a number of the witnesses,
verdict that the deceased
anne to hiH death some time between t
IOnday afternoon at 4 O'Clock, and !
he time when the body Was discov-
red, but by what means they We're
uable to determine. There are grave
which, under the verdict a
f the jury. We do not feel it our .dnty
D make public.
