sons against the bearing-re
1t is an unnecessary expense to purchase
it.
1t adds to the weight of the harness
and the time required to clean it.
1t wearies the head and neck of the
| horse by the constrained, unnatural
position IN which they are fixed.
1t spoils the appearance of the horse,
and largly detracts from his free and
graceful movements.
The long-continued pressure on the
lower jaw tends to give tho animal a
hard mouth, and therefore renders it less
obcdient to the drivers rein.
1t does not prevent stumbling, but, on
the contrary, predisposes tho horse to
fall, and with much more severity than
If it were not used.
In hot weather or during extreme
exertion it may directly or Indirectly
produce an attack of giddiness or apop-
lexy-the last probably terminating in
death.
In heavy draught, in addition to the
torture 1t occasions, it causes largo
portion OF the horses power to be lost,
from the animal being unable to get his
head and neck down, and thus to throw
more of the weight of his body into his
collar.
The powerful muscles which pull
forward the shoulders AMI indirectly the
fC re limbs, and which are attached to
the head and neck, are by it placed in
the least favorable position for exercising
their function, SO that the horses actions
as well as its speed and strength are i'm
paired from this mechanical disadvan-
tage.
1t causes pain and distress in breathing.
1t tends to distort the upper part of
the wind-pipe, and causes ''roaring."
1t frets the temper of nervous and ex-
cltable horses, and shorten the lives of all.

4 COld-IbIOOdcd Murder.

On Saturday William Coke, youth of
about Is years, who lived about six miles
from Bcnnettsville, down in Red Hill
township, came to town, aud while here
called at the Chronicle Office and enrolled
his name as member Of our military com
pany. On his return home that afternoon
he was met by Doc Dargan, a negro about
II years Of age, at McDanicls mill. Here
Il few words passed, when DArgan fired
upon young Coke, killing him instantly
1t Is sad to know that this new member
OF the Gordon Rifles, whose youthful face
bore the outlines Of pleasant and social
disposition, will never answer to roll call
on earth. While in the hopcfulncss Of
young manhood he has been summoned
before his Maker for final inspection -
