I Z Horses Travelling UnsIlod.

Whether shoeing is necessary or not
remains to be tested to the satisfaction
of the majority Some believe that
shoes can not be dispensed with on the
cobble-stones of thescities.. but are in
cllned 10 the opinion that shoes are not
altogether necessary on soft, sandy or
light, grayelly roads. In Chicago a
gentleman neglected to shoe his horse
and allowed it to work on the cobbIe-
stones At first the feet became some
what sore and the hoofs cracked and
seemed very brittle. In time, how
ever the hoofs began TO harden in
texture, became callous to the hard
usage, until now the owner declares he
would not use shoes again under any
circumstances. just here we desire to
call attention to the subject. II the
feet, by direct contact with the earth,
improve and the tenderness and brittle
ness of the hoof is changed, it may be
possible that those who have attempted
to work their horses unshod have be-
come alarmed at what they supposed
lameness, wheE q little patience would
have demonstrated the method as feast
BILE. ANY one who is accustomed to
3 wearing shoes finds it very incon ven-
lent to walk barfooted for few days,
but after a short time the feet become
=
insensible to substances with which they
come in contact, and one then easily
manages to walk on the stones, gravel,
in the sand, water. or even upon sharp
substances, without the least difficulty.
Thus il may be with horses when the
shoes are removed. They will find
walking awkward and the feet may be-
come sore, but after a lapse of time
they will be able to pull over the worst
kind of roads. So far as our own opin-
ions are concerned, we have not given
the matter test; but the experiences of
those who have tried working horses
without shoes can not be ignored. q 1t
will be hard to convince most persons
that shoeless horses are able to en-
dure the hard cobble-stones, but that
horses may work upon good country
roads is within the limit Of possibility.
1t would not be Troublesome expert
ment if farmers should put the matter
to a test by leaving the shoes off one Or
two for comparison. If we could work
our horses anywhere without shoes it
would be a great saving in the course
of year, not only financially but from
the Inconvenience SO often expert
enced when horses are to be shod dur
ing busy time. Field and Fsesite.a

Sleigh-Riding in Summer.

+ In striking contrast with the avel
age American wedding, where the con-
tracing part es HE away soon after
the ceremony, was a social event last
evening in German society in this city,
conducted IN truly Teutonic fashion.
The hymeneal festivities began early
in the evening, and continued una
bated until daybreak this morning. Mr..
George Zipp was the happy father, his
daughter was the bride. Mr.. Peter
Niebel the groom, and a host of friends
were the guests. At eight O clock, at
the residence of the father, 10 Elm
Place, in the presence of a large COM
pany, Miss Josie Zipp was united in
wedlock to Mr.. Peter Niebel, the cere-
mony being performed according to
the German custom and in the Ger
man language My Rev. DR.. Henni-
ken. pastor of the Henry Street Luz
theran Church. The ceremony was
brief but impressive Mr.. Zipp gave
his daughter away. the parties joining
hands, and the groom sealed the con-
tract with a ring and a kiss. The bride
was handsomely dressed in maroon
silk with lace trimmings, a diamond
breastpin, and diamond ring and dia-
mond earrings, the gift of her hus-
band. At the conclusion of the cere-
mony the company walked in couples
from the house to the asino adioln-
ING, and sat down at the banqueting
tables in the parlors upstairs. In the
center of the room was a long table
laden with wedding presents and flow
ers. The collation. having been served,
Mr.. Louis Froehlich, as chief orator of
the evening, read am original poem in
his native language, dedicated to- the
bride.
Madam Pfelzel, of New York, recited
a poem.
at midnight the party. assembled in
the concert hall, and dancing and
merry-making began. 1t had not pro-
ceeded long when the guests were made
aware that the season had suddenly
changed and that they were in the
midst of driving snow-storm. Large
w lite flakes were mysteriousIy falling
from above, and the floor was soon
covered with a snowy mating. In the
distance was heard the merry ring of
approaching sleigh bells. The dancers
stopped in amazement, and the bride,
cliDging to her husband, auNiously
awaited an lexplanation OF the bril-
liant transformation scene. As it by
magic the roiung doors ToiIeu pteh'
and fiery black steed, richly capari-
soned, galloped into the hall, drawing
an elegant Albany cutter. The turn
out, driven by Mr.. Ferdinand Linn,
made the circuit of the room several
times. amid the rousing cheers of the
guests. Mr. and Mrs. Niebel were in
vited to a, seat. in the sleigh, which. in
a few appropriate words, was present
ed to them ON behalf of the Messrs.
Linn. of this city. A short wedding
ride was taken, followed by a shower
of snowballs. The affair was decided
Iy unique and novel, and was a genu-
inc surprise to all save Mr.. Zipp and
the donors of the gift. The occasion
called forth Mr.. Froehlich, who con.
grated the newly made couple upon
having a father who could furnish them
