When given hay it will grab mouthful and
hold it in its mouth for half an hour, and in the
meantime swing around in a circle, throw one
foot out, as if it were dancing, and cut-up all
sorts of silly capers. When let out of the
barn it will walk off short distance, and then
gallop back at q terrific rate of speed. IL the
door is open he will go in, but if shut. the
animal will dash against it without knowing
that an obstruction is in its way. II hitched-uD
it will start TO run straight ahead, and can
neither be turned nor stopped until it becomes
completely exhausted. The insanity has only
lately appeared. The case is very strange
one and the first of the kind ever heard of in
this locality
