England, where next year and the year
following they are expected to add to the
high opinion already entertained abroad of
American-bred stock.
These valuable horses were not put on
the Erin this morning by the usual belly

the dock across a slightly inclined gapgway
provided with high guard ratings, through
the main hatch port into the stalls espec-
tally built for thea on the main deck amid
ships, where the motion Of the vessel will be
least felt and the spar deck above provides
shelter. In the ceatre is built box-stall

pads on either side of him when the ship

horses. On the porte side are Wyandotte,
Seneca, Mohawk, and Paw-Paw, who is a
full sister to Parole; and on the starboard

Ertn this morning afEer the horses were
put into their quarters, aud the shining
young thoroughbreds took kindly 10 every
hand which stroked their heads.

and was much admired. She was very cor

Others, and not before. Mr.. &. Bishop, who

The SnakesStories Accounted For.


-ONeff.r.I
The year 1879 has been remarkable for
the most wonderful snake stori,s. Some OF
our brethren of the press have established,
as it were, "a department for snakes" Just
how to account for the phenomena was
difficult until, in looking over the official
figures from the revenue Office, We observed
the immense increase of manufactured and
imported liquors during the last year. The
facts are somewhat startling, and may &C
count for the wonderful snake journalism
which has doubtless attracted the attention
Of our readers.
