THE readers of the WATCHMAN have BEEN
from time to time, appraised of the fact that
William Clark of Brookield has received a
lot of " fresh-air horses " from Boston. We
have twice taken a look at some of these
horses. 1t may have been supposed that
these horses were all from the stables of the
street-car companies and crippled in their
service. But this is not so. The other day
we saw noble dapple gray mare of six or
eight years that was brought from Ohio and
sold in or near Boston for family use, and
for over four hundred dollars. Not long
ago she fell through floor and injured one
| ley very severely LOT u Il1ne. one was tnen
sold for a comparatively small sum. Mr..
Clark has her and anticipates a complete
cure. He holds her at $50. He has another
horse, which was taken to Boston from
Washington county last year, we believe,
and sold for over two hundred dollars. Now
she comes back to be sold for, perhaps one
half the original sum paid for her. and yet
by no means used-up" animal. Another
horse that we saw was gray, owned for
some years by one man and used for some

a little over 500. 1t is decidedly inter-

these city chaps " of horses, even though
some of them look like dudes " for thin
ness. - Is there anything superior to
boarding around " the district for the
study of character? We recently heard two
old teachers, who have laid aside their
youth and the prefix Miss" comparing
their experiences in the same school district
years ago. If the old adage be true, some
where on this continent there must have
been a tinglng of the ears" But the sad
der thing about it is that they are yet carry

unpleasant impressions made upon them at
that time in " very respectable " family, as
the world goes. The conversation is worth
