Editor Plateau Gazette:
1t seems a good time to report pro-
gress from our little borough in the
forest. We begin to be nightly holp
up" at the prospect of success. More
than fifty farm lots sold, implying the
settlement of more than that number
of families; at least twenty of those
families already on the ground and
busily at work, not a loafer among
them though we have a few visiting
brethren of that sort, a neat church
and schoolhouse building erected, and
paid for, and a school in regular opera
ton, all within six months from the
time the first hole was cut into the
woods, we think is fair beginning.
Still there's more to follow.
Last week came the first excursion
party from Michigan, clear-headed and
clear-sighted working men. Notwith--
standing the fact that Clear Fork swell
ed with hostility, or high water, at their
coming and tried to bar their entrance
into this promised land, after looking
over the territory going to see the good
crops growing on Joe Taylor's farm, the
wheat at Mr.. Simmermans, Father
Taylors garden, various tracts of clover
and grass, and the general luxuriance
of the vegetation, little stimulated it
must be owned by the abundant rains
and warmth of late, not forgetting a
look down into the mighty gorge Of
Buffalo Cove, they concluded that they
wanted land in region which could
make so good showing with so poor a
chance in the way of cultivation and
improvement, and 50 have purchased
tracts for themselves and are to become
CllIAciS dtuoliS us.
No attempt was made at first to build
II town. 1t would follow a self-support-
ing settlement of workers of the soil
quick enough. But the time has now
come when the business center of the
new community must be located, so a
village pat is laid out on the beautiful
E. swell of land a quarter Of a mile west

A remarkable instance of the effect
that can be produced upon dog by the
human voice was related to me yester-
day. Some of your CORRESPONDENTS
would consider it confirmatory of their
notion that dogs have mind enough to
understand words; but myself rather
believe that the sound of the voice acts
upon the feelings OF dumb animals just
as instrumental music acts upon us.
The story is as follows: A clergyman
had for long time dog, and no other
domestic animal. He and his servant
made great pet of the dog. At last,
however, the clergyman took to keep
ing few fowls, and the servant fed
them. The dog showed himself very
jealous and out of humor at this, and
when Sunday came round and he was
left alone he took the opportunity to
kill and bury two hens. A claw half
uncovered betrayed what he had done.
His master did not beat him, but took
hold of him and talked to him most
bitterly. most severely. you've been
guilty of the sin of murder, strand on
the Sabbath day, too; and you, a
clergyman's dog. taking = mean adj
vantage of my absence" etc. He talked
on and ON for long time, in the same
serious and rcproachful strain. Early
the next morning the master had to leave
home for day or so; and he did so
without speaking word of kindness to
the dog, because he said he wished him
to feel himself in disgrace. On his re-
turn the first thing he was told was:
1.-The dog is dead. He never ate nor
drank after you had spoken to him; he
Just lay and pinned away, and he died
an hour ago. III. @. 0sllun, in Lon

At the invitation of the manager, Mr..
Hugh Patton, a number of gentlemen
connected with the city papers paid a
visit to the extensive stables of the
Shedden Company. on William Street,
yesterday, for the purpose of witness
ing the effect of nails which some of
the horses have inadvertently trod upon
while doing their work. Besides the
press gentlemen there were also present
Veterinary Surgeon Baker, Mr.. Galley.
Inspector for the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, and Mr..
Andrew Young, foreman of the She'd
den Company. 1t has been found that
the delicate internal structure of q
horses foot renders an injury in that
region, no matter how slight, extremely
difficult of treatment; and any way
of preventing nails and other sharp
articles from being thrown in
the way OF horses feet is there
fore of considerable Importance. The
habit prevails among many of the care
takers and others of our mercantile es-
adjustments of burning the old broken
boxes which have been used in the
shipment of goods, ETC., and then
throwing the ashes, including the nails
which have hitherto held the boxes to-
gether, in the streets and lanes in the
neighborhood, thus putting them right
in the way of the feet of horses used in
carting the goods from the warehouse
to the station or steamer, and vice YER
sa, and causing many of them incalcu-
liable pain. After being shown over the
stables yesterday in order to take a
look at the fine horses, some 800 in
number, the party was taken to what is
known as s'the hospital, where are
kept all the horses which have been
disabled to such an extent that the
treatment of the veterinary surgeon is
necessary, aud shown among other
things one horse which had been so Sc
verely injured by nail entering his
foot that an abcess had formed above
the hoof. and in all probability the
animal will have to be shot IN order to
relieve its suffering, as the result is al
most certain to be fatal in the end.
Since the LIST of April the company have
had forty-four serious cases in which
the animals have been laid up from
one week to two months each, besides
about fifty less serious ones that have
probably only required few
nights rest and the application of
poultices. The following table will
show to some extent the Inconvenience
which the company have been put to
on account of this, being q statement of
the time when the horses were put un-
der the treatment of the veterinary
and the date upon which they were dis
charged cured:
