It seems curious that, though the

the publication of the Scriptures is UNI
der an ancient restraint Only the
presses of the great universities can
print copies of the Bible; and they some

them by their valuable monopoly.
In speaking of the revised version Of
the Old Testament, The London Times
says; 1T is announced that the Old
Testament is not to be published
separately, except in somewhat costly
form, and that in the cheaper editions
it will be bound up and sold as one
volume with the New. Those who have
the New already by itself must buy II

possibly be convertible into carriage OF
saddle horses, should they recover from
defects. He was never to give more
than Z pounds sterling for each, but .
pounds sterling was the average price.
In this manner thirty or forty horses
were sometimes collected at Gaelisbridge,
his farm. On a stated morning every
week the blacksmith came up from the
village, and the horses were in successive
order caught, battered, and brought to
him for inspection.
Having discovered the cause of their
lameness, he proceeded to perform what
ever seemed to him necessary for the cure.
The Improvement produced in a short
time by good feeding and medical attend.

have enjoyed, appeared truly wonderful.
Horses which were at first with difficulty

were now with as much difficulty re
