THE NEWS SUMMARIZED
Letter From Governor Piorce.

Tie following explains itself:
BISMARCK, Oct. II, 18S5.-To the Editor
Of the Press and Dakotian: | find the fol-
lowing paragraph going the rounds of the
newspapers, credited to the Press and Da-
kotian:
GOV. Pierce has placed on file
as one of his excuses for We
t0ing the capital removal bill, a
letter from Judge G. s. Palmer, urging him
to veto the bill. and representing that a
proportion of the people OF his district
were opposed to the removal OF the capital
from Bismarck, and were satisfied with the
action of the capital commission.
The inference from the above is that 1
have been trying to saddle the responsibility
OF the veto OF the capital removal bill on to
somebody else, and that Ihaye in some off,
cial manner filed a letterfrom j Judge Palmer
as an excuse for that act, which is absurd.
/ have never sought for an excuse for
my course, and no person can truthfully
claim to nave influenced me regarding the
measure. I believed it wrong, and ]
vetoed it. l have never seen a mo-
ment when / doubted the justice OF
my course, or wanted anybody to
share in the responsibility, the glory
or the blame OF it. Bad or good, right or
wrong. Just or unjust, the burden rests en-
tirely upon me, and | lave never hoped, re-
quested or desired anybody else to assume
it. The paragraph above places a respon.
sibility on Judge Palmer, which in no
means, shape or n belongs to him.
Respectfully yours, GILBERT A. PIERCE.

Sir Ashley Cooper as a Horse Doctor,

In the life of Sir Ashley Cooper it is
said that he required his coachman to
attend every market morning at Smith
field, and purchase all lame young
horses exposed for sale which he
thought might possibly be convertible
into carriage or saddle horses, should
they recover from their defects. He
was never to give more than seven
pounds sterling for each, but five
pounds sterling was the average price.
In this manner thirty or forty horses
we're sometimes collected at Gaelis-
fridge, bis farm. On a stated morn
ing every week the blacksmith came
up from the village, and the horses
were in successive order caught, hall
tered and brought to him for inspec-
ton.
Having discovered the cause of their
lameness, he proceeded to perform
whatever seemed to him necessary for
the cure. The improvement produced
in a short time by good feeding and
medical attendance, such as few horses
before or since have enjoyed, appeared
truly wonderful. Horses which were
at first with difficulty driven to pas,
lure, DecduSt Ot tuclf udlb, WtIc HOW
with as much difficulty restrained from
running away. Even one fortnight at
Gaelisbridge would frequently produce
such an alteration in some of them
that it required no unskillful eye in the
former owner himself to recognize the
animal which he had sold but . few
weeks before. Fifty guineas were paid
for one of these animals, which turned
out a very good bargain, and Sir Asst
ley's carriage was for years drawn by
a pair of horses which together cost
him only II pounds 10 shillings ster-
ling.
We believe a similar business to that
of Sir Ashley Cooper is carried on by q
class ofhorse dealers in New York and
other large cities. Lame and other
wise worthless horses are bought for q
few dollars and taken to the country,
where the change of pasture diet, the
needed rest, and the watchful and care.
full treatment Of the owner frequently
transforms a worthless horse into .
valuable animal.
