Lame Horses.

The very severe cold winter we are hav-
ing and tho constant use of the horses is
bound to result in many of them becom-
ing lame and crippled. Prompt treatment
and proper care however will very soon
restore them if the right kind of remedies
aroused. The first thing however to be
done, is to make u careful examination
and discover ii possible where the trouble
is located and what it is. First examine
the feet very carefully, see that they have
no soreness, no lever, no cuts or bruises
and then examine the legs and lastly the
shoulders, and you will be almost sure to
find the seat of trouble or cause of lame
ness. When this is done, 1t will be very
easy for you to go to Ssur's large Drug
and Medicine Depot and secure the best
known remedies for the most speedy cure
OF the trouble which you have discovered.
Saur makes specially of keeping a good
stock and large variety of horse medicines,
which have been tested and proved best
fer the cure of the diseases known to be
most prevalent among horses.

A frightful runaway, terrible to behold,
occurred last week in which a whole tam
lily of eleven persons-father, mother and
nine children-were hurled along the road
at fearful rate of speed. The family,
which lived in the neighborhood of Desh-
ler, hitched up their team and started for
Napoleon, the horses going along all right
until with in about seven miles OF their
destination, when suddenly from some
unknown cause the horses started on
a dead run frightful to witness, and in
spite of all the muscle and strength of the
driver could possibly bring to bear on
them, they still run, increasing their speed
at every jump. So they run until they
came in sight of our river bridge, when
the occupants of the wagon saw to their
great horror that the bridge, was strung
with teams from one end to the other,
and the woman exclaimed, great heavens,
we shall all be instantly killed." But as
good luck would have it, they run through
the bridge missing every team which was
almost miracle, and continuing with
lightning speed across the canal bridge
and up Perry street until they got in
front OH. E. Cary's Grocery Store where,
to their great astonishment and happy
disappointment, both horses came to a
sudden halt.-"There," says the man,
"old woman, you have been mistak en- for
once in your life. You said we would all
be killed Instantly, but now see what
you meant. Instead OF killed you meant
we would go up into Gardner's Gallery
over Cary's grocery, and get our pictures
taken instantly" which they did, and got
first-class pictures too. Then after getting
good square meal OF seven or eight
pounds Of crackers, cheese and bologna,
and few cakes Of fine yeast which caused
them to rise Immediately and start home
rejoicing and wondering how Gardner
could take such fine pictures, and take
them in less time than it takes to wink.

MAN KILLED.-On Monday butcher
named August Poehlman, living near
Ridgeville, came to town with load of
meat. Towards evening he left for home;
and short time after his dead body was
found on the bridge crossing Bales Creek
southwest of town. From appearances
he was thrown from his sled as it struck
the bridge, and falling upon his head was
rendered insensible, and the sled in pa ss-
ing him showed part of his body over in
the water, in which condition he was
found. His horses and sled were but a
short distance from the bridge, which
goes to show that the team did not run
away. Mr.. P. was a native Of Prussia
and leaves family we understand. Cor
oner Cloud was notified, and on Tues
day morning held an inquest, rendering
the following verdict:
lido find that the deceased came to his
death by drowning in Bales Creek in Ma
poleon tp., Henry county, Ohio, he being
thrown out of his sled into the water OF
said creek at the public crossing, cause
unknown. Il. Nj. CLOUD, Coroner.
