Character Of the Horse.

In the selection of horse, strength,
soundness, size, form, health, age, ped
i9ree, color, ETC., are all taken into con-
sideration, but the good or bad quail
ties, the character, receive little atten-
ton. Still nothing adds to or detracts
more from the animals real value
think this indifference arises from a
common notion that the character can
not be determined beforehand. But it is
revealed as plainly as are soundness,
age and strength. The plan to be
adopted is this: Select two horses whose
disposition you are familiar with one
gentle, one vicious. The points to be
observed are all about the head. Study
the head well. Look first at the eyes,
then the nasal contour, then the ears.
and afterward all the other points
about the head. When you have done
this select other horses whose character
you know. In % surprisingly short
time you will have learned wherein
the eye, nose, ears, ETC., of vicious
horse differ from these organs of a gem
tic horse. Then select two horses
again-one intelligent and one dumb.
Study the same points, most particular
ly the eyes, however, and you will soon
be able to distinguish an intelligent
from dumb horse.
In this way person of ordinary abil-
ity can learn to distinguish the charac-
ter of horse in few months of study.
The information thus gained may save
him a runaway, perhaps limb or life,
and it is especially valuable to one who
has young horses to train. 1t is APP

The two regiments had engaged each
other during the day, and the cons
mander of each was wounded and one
commander was a prisoner, Col. Saw
age assured Col. Moore that he should
have the best attention that was in his
power to bestow, and ordered his sur
geons and attendants to bestow upon
Col. Moore the same attention that
would be given to one of their own
men. Gen. Jackson and Col. Savage
recognized each other at once, having
been old acquaintance in public life.
The General died within a few hours.
The wounded were cared for as well
as the circumstances would allow. All
who could travel were sent to Harrods-
burg. Those not able to bear trans
portation were taken to the farm houses
of the neighborhood where hospitals
were established.
Gen. Bragg withdrew his army early
on the morning of the 9th and retired
to Harrodsburg. From there he re.
tired to Camp Dick Robinson and
thence to Knoxville. The wounded
were left at the field hospitals and fell
into the hands of the enemy. The
dead were left on the field unburied.
The Federals buried their own dead
but left the Confederate dead, who lay
upon the ground four days, They were
then partially buried by the people of
Perryville and vicinity. The ground
was very hard and the dead were mere
ly covered up, and remained in this
condition for about six weeks. They
were then gathered up by the good
people of Perryville and buried prop.
erly in one common graveyard. Those
who died of their wounds were buried
in the cemeteries at Harrodsburg and
Perryville. The people of Perryville
afforded every assistance in their power
10 the suffering of either army, AS
the Confederate wounded recovered
they were paroled and sent to Vicks,
burg for exchange.

A Pretty Lesson.

A remarkable bird story is related
by Thomas Prince, of Carson River
New. A pair of robins built nes:
on a fence near his house, and in q
bush not far away pair of catbi.ds
had their home. The yonpg in both
nests were matched about the same
time; but after several days the cat
birds were seen no more, having
probably been shot by boys. The
young catbirds were evidently starry
ing. When the robins came with a
worm or beetle for their young, they
always alighted on the top rail of the
fence before hopping down to their
nest. Every time that a robin thus
alighted the little catbirds opened
their mouths. thrust up their heads
and began to cry. They were begging
ito the best Of their ability for food.
The robins appeared to understand
the appeal, and began feeding the
hungry little catbirds. They did not
Go what they had undertaken by
halves. Every evening the female
robin sat on her own nest and warmed
her young, while the male robin took
the nest Of the catbirds. In this way
both broods were reared, the little
orphans growing up as strong and
lively as though they had been cared
for by their own parents.

Unsuccessful Attempt to Capture Two
Cubs--An Encounter In Greene
County.

County.
EL1ENvILLE, March IA The hop.

terent parts OF this county are be-
ginning early to talk of the presence
of bears in unusual numbers in the
mountaina. Sbandakip, Hurley,
Woodstock and Hardenbergh town
ships seem to be the chosen field.
They have emerged with their young
from their winter "sleeping" places
several weeks before they are usually
looked for, Notwithstanding that the
snow is still deep in tie woods. The
N4versink region sends in the story
that bsrk peeler attempted to cap
ture p'ir of cubs few days ago,
snugly slowed away in hollow
stump. He took them up in his arms
and was burrylne away with them,
when the mother appeared. Think
ing that he might out run her and
reach a hous- that was only distant
about half mile, the bark: peeler
kept the cubs in his arms aud ran.
Tue old bear gained on hin rapidly,
however. and he put down one Of the
cubs, hoping that the mother wo Id
stop with it long enough to allow
hin to get beyond her reach with the
other one. She oed, but only an
instant. Sc only one Of hel
cubs had been released she rushed
after h m again. He saw that it
would be impossible for him to reach
the house before the mother would be
upon him, and he dropped the other
cub. This satisfied the old bear. A
party of armed men subsequently
went in search of the bears, but had
not captured them at last accounts.
The Woodstock country is excited
over the adventures of four men and
boy with a she bear and three cubs
