BaIky Horses.

To break an old, habitual baker is
out of the question. If horse balkS
nowhere else but in going up hill, in
nine cases out of ten the cause is to
be found in faulty collar or ill-fitting
harness, or the load is too heavy for
him. If Charlie baIks from mere
eussedness, it matters not how much
he is urged, or how emphatic you
speak to him, for he will only look
around and smile at you. Such q fell
low is not only useless, but he is posi-
lively dangerous, where hills are such
as to render it necessary to ascend
them in walk; for he is not only
satisfied with stopping, but will run
back, and is then as likely to land his
load in ditch or send it Over q preci-
piee as to leave it on the road. The
only security against this taking place
. is, if there is room, to at once turn him
sideways to the hill, across the road,
instead of urging him forward. Gen
orally speaking, after standing thus a
few minutes, he will 90 on; at all
events it stops him running back.
Where hills are moderate, that is,
such as can be trotted up, a horse
llu6L DG u NCll Gl1h UnlhC1 II AC DlOpOF
unless the hill be very long and weari-
some; in which case, before he does
stop, turn him sideways, and give him
q minutes breathing time. In such
country, with little judicious man
agement, such a horse may be toler-
ateG, if he is little false collared.
Pulling such a horse into walk gen
orally ends in his tossing his head
about and then stopping. 1t is far
better to stop him at once, before he
thought wanting; for if he stops of
his own accord in the middle of a
heavy piece Of road he will never pull
out Of it. Without additional impetus
over such place it is almost certain
to cause dead stop. Many of the
best teams of horses that ever looked
through a collar, if pulled into a walk
on heavy ground, would not draw
pound, though they will take two tons
through it in a. trot, and the higher
bred and the more spirited horse is
the more likely he is to refuse what
may be termed a dead pull; very few
tempered ones would draw barge on
a canal. This does not arise from in
dolence or dislike to exertion, but
from impatience of the pace requisite
to move heavy weights. Many of the
best and gamest collared horses in the
world in trotting harness would not
start an empty cart if the wheels
stood In only a moderate water drain
or gutter. Of the hundred and one
remedies suggested for balkiness no
one has proved generally successful.
A remedy that would start a balky
horse once will be likely to prove any
thing but a success the next time. A
permanent cure for balkiness is not
known.-PrGiTIe Farmer.

$3.50, 600 annually, for which reason he
would decline a Judgeship, which only

sented as saying that he could easily
secure a seat in the House of Commons,
several constituencies having given
him very fattering invitations to rep

COUNTY AFFAIRS.

We ore glad 10 see so much interest
being manifested about county affairs.
External vigilance is the price of liber-
ty." 1t is every mans right, privilege
and duty TO protect himself, and to
scru,inize the acts of those who exercise
power or control over his person or
property. Taxation is that power and
control; it is imperial, and its demands
must be obeyed, unless its oppression
produces revolt and the sabject chal-
lenges the exercise of its oppressive
power. Officials are the channels, and
sometimes the source, Of these eppres-
sions; then it becomes necessary for the
people to arouse themselves, and in
their sovereign right demand to know
why those whom they clothe with GER
tain power abuse that prerogative. L:
is proper to look through the books,
and see the character of the entries at
least once year. 1t is calculated to
keep things in good business health,
and tone up official morality. Our col
umns are open to legitimate inquiries
relative to the official management Of
the public affairs of our county, both as
to schools and courts.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Recently Congress passed q pension
bill which will, if carried into effect as
passed, cost the Treasury probably
S10O,0OO,0O0. This vast sum is to be
distributed throughout the North,
During the war the old William and
Mary College, at Williamsburg, Va,
was destroyed in spirit of vandalism
by Federal soldiers. The College and
its valuable library, apparatus, ETC., were
all destroyed. Indemnity was asked OF
Congress to repair the loss as tar as pos
sible. 1t was refused.
The House of Representatives on
Friday last refused to favorably consid-
err the bill providing for the payment of
an honest debt due to Fairfax (Va.l
Seminary for rent of buildings occupied
by the Government during the war.
And yet we are panied to observe that
Southernrepresentatives, anxious to make
an exhibit of ''loyalty,' voted for the
pension bill, squaDdering many millions,
and against the few thousands necessa-
ry to pay honest obligations to venera-
BILE ard worthy institutions.
If Congress would have passed the
Southern Texas Pacific Bill, instead of
the Pension Bill, vast deal of good
would have resulted to the population
of the Southern States, by way of indu-
cling emigration, building up the coun-
Try and giving employment TO thoua-
ands and perhaps millions OF people.
The Pension Bill will benefit none but
the inhabitants of the North, compare
lively. Whenever the representatives
of the Northern section will legislate for
the benefit of the South, you will know
it. Their deliberations are always In
the interest of the Northern people and
detrimental to the interests of the South.
Their past course have proven this to
be too correct, and it is high time that
our Southern Representatives were be-
coming cognizant of the fact

Bag CORPORATION CREDlr.-It GER
taiuly is gratifying to know from the
report OF our Town Treasurer, that the
credit of our town is such, that those
who hold her bonds are no-wise in q
hurry to dispose of the same. He was
instructed some time since to lift as
many bonds as possible With the money
in the treasury, and no made au effort
to do so, but he found those who held
the bonds did not wish to sell, and that
the owners also held them at par. This
should be encouraging not only to us,
but to ontside capitalists who may wish
to settle in our midst. For itnot only
shows to them that our town is perfect
ly solvent, but that We are not burden
ed with debts like those that affect our
neighboring towns, aud that here they
can safely invest without the fear Of be-
ing taxed to death to keep up an expeD.
size corporation.
