AS general thing span OF horses will

occasionally exceptions to this occur. We
remember to have aided in turning over &
fallow OF twenty acres, in which q span o
horses and a yoke Of oxen were employed
It was decided to test their relative capac
ity for the work, both teams being allowed
their natural gait. Equal sections Of lane
were assigned to both teams, and the oxen
came out invarisblya little ahead, gaining
time at each turning OF the corners. They
were then tried on the same lands Tor
day, with no marked advantages on eithel
side. These oxen were broken to the work
held their heads we'll up, and marched
along with steady, stately step. In THU
particular instance the oxen were better fol
blowing than the horses, for the simple
reason that, performing equal work, they
cost less for keeping, and were more read
lily prepared for labor.
Where the field operation is at consid.
cradle distance from the barn or pasture
the horse would have the advantage in the
celebrity OF his movements in reaching 1t
AS a general thing, the summer season
through, horses can do more work than
oxen Tor this reason, II no other, they car
stand the heat better. Both are important

the difference by the celebrity OF his move

George Il. Spencer, an ex Senator from
Alabama, Is now in custody to answer ior
conte ppt OF court. lie was subF0naed az
a witness in the Star route matter, failed
to respond and left the country to avoid ar
rest. He says there was an understanding
between himself, President Garfield and
Postmaster General James that he was not to
be called as witness It may be that he tellf
the truth. Probably he does not. II the
agreement was entered into that will moi
Justify his contempt Of court. Only the
court Itself could excuse him, and no court
would do that while he was in contempt,
Spencer belongs to numerous class o.
men who feel tia. they are entitled to more
consideration than other men. They have
held high position, generally at Washing
ION where, 80 long as they are in place
they find plenty Of people to toady tc
them. Out Of public position they carry
some OF the old air with them and trade or
certain privileges OF ex-grandees. They
expect better treatment than other people
and generally they get 1t.
This Is what was the matter with Spen'
Ger. 1t didn't suit him to come to the front
as witness and be riddled in the cross
examination, and he didn't come. OF course
he expected his late eminent position to
protect him. This is good opportunity t.
teach men OF his stamp that VIC have nc

TIE KANAWlIA MOUNDS.
Prof. Norris Explorations In tho Mont
mentH OF AntIQuity.

Prof. Norris Explorations In tho Monu.
menH OF Antiquity.
The Charleston Call has the following
further particulars concerning Prof. P. w.
Norris, the ethnoloSist who has been open.
ing Indian mounds in the Kanawha val.
.:The copper bracelets which we have
mentioned before arc quite large, weighing
three or four ounces each. He has found
twenty Of these bracelets in this valley,
eighteen OF them In the big mound on
Colonel Smiths farm. Flint knives and
smear heads he has found in great abun.
dante, all those that he got from any one
mound being alike, but not like the ones
he found anywhere else.
In the mound on the Creel farm, which
was opened sometime since, Prof. Norris
found what no says lie has seen nowhere
else, and what he declares to be OF more
interest to him than anything else found in
this section. In this mound were fourteen
cisterns, round In shape, from nine to six.
teen inches In circumference, and four or
1--WE feet deep. They were made Of some
kind Of cement that Is still hard, and re-
mains 10 this day impervious to water. In
all OF these cisterms water was found
some OF them were full and others partly
full. The cisterns had been made In pairs,
and there was evidently one pair for each
person buried In the mound. These
cisterns were at the bottom Of the mound,
and as the mound was water proof, and the
cisterns also water proof, the water found
IN them must have been some that was put
in centuries ago, to quench the thirst OF the
weary travellers in their great journey to
the land Of whence.
Prof. Norris takes great interest in his
researches, and handles his relics and
iondly and carefully aa . missr does does his
