A HoRsE's WEAK Po1NTs.-The weak
points OF horse can be better discov-
cred while standing than while moving.
If he is sound no will stand firmly and
squarely on his limbs without moving
any of them, the feet planting fatty
upon the ground, with legs plumb and
naturally poised; or if the foot is lifted
from the ground and the weight taken
from it, disease may lie suspected, or at
least tenderness, which is a precursor
of disease. If the horse stands with
his feet spread apart, or straddles with
the hind legs, there is weakness in the
loins, and the kidneys are disordered.
Heavy pulling bends the knees, Blush,
milky cast eyes in horses indicate moon
blindness or something else. A bad
tempered horse keeps his ears thrown
back. A kicking horse is apt to have
SCARED legs. A stumbling horse has
blemished knees. When the skin is
rough and harsh, and does not move
easily and smoothly to the touch, the
horse is a heavy eater, and his diges-
tion is bad. Never buy horse whose
respiratory organs are oil impaired.
Place your ear at the side of the heart,
and if q wheeling sound is heard it is
an indication of trouble. Let him 60.

An Accident and Its Lesson.

As three Young ladies were driving
a very steady horse on Church street,
one dav last week. the horse suddenly
stopped, sat Oh his tail, paved the air
for moment with both fore feet, and
then fell over on the ground. The
ladies were much frightened and
scrambled out of the carriage in a de-
moralized condition. Men who were
fortunately near at hand secured the
horse, and an investigation showed the
author of all this disturbance to be IA
sharp pointed stone about the size of n
mans fist firmly wedged into the shoe
of one foot. This being removed, the
horse was all right again, but he
groaned with pain until it was accom-
plished This incident, so fortunate
in its results, brings up the question,
why do not our road makers sift the
gravel at the gravel pit, and save
carting so much stone upon the streets
only to be raked out and carted off
againl This would not only save a
considerable expense, but it would pre-
vent injury to horses and carriages
and perhaps accc ident and injury to
persons.
