An exchange gives the following sensi.
bio directions for driving young horses
I'm teaching young horse TO drive well,
do not hurry to see how fast he can trot
Keep each pace clear and distinct from the
other-that is, in walking, make him
walk, and do not allow him to trot While
trotting, be equally careful that he keeps
steady at his pace, and do not allow him
| to slack into walk. The reins, while
| driving, should be snug and when pushed
to the top of his speed, keep him we'll in
hand, that he may learn to bear we'll upon
the bit, so that when going at a high rate
of speed he can be held at his pace, but do
not allow him to pull too hard, for it is not
only unpleasant, but makes it often diff.
| cult to make him."

the dance, as they elinched for the

One would think, from the impres.
sion be gets of our little city during
each session of court, that it was a
perfect little Hades that turmoil and
strife hold the day, and that peace and
quietness had taken to themselves
wings, and left us never more to re-.
turn. But such is not the case.
1t is true that East Hickory, like
every little town of importance, has
its "black sheep; but our citizens
are for the most part, peaceable, hon.
orable, law.abiding, sober and indus.
trious people.
The Ministers Of the town are labor.
ing earnestly; the prayer meetings
convene as usual, and are largely at.
tended. In the church aud out of it
can be found good, earnest, whole
souled law.abidiDg citizens, and we
wish it to be distinctly understood that
when you see East Hickory coming to
your town in a body court week
ministers, doctors, bankers, merchants,
justices of the peace, clerks, milliners,
factotums and dudes, you must not
think we are set Of "black Sheep
turned loose on the streets of Tionesta
to eat up everything that comes in our
way. Do not bar your doors and
close your offices, for among the great
number (only one man being left here
to guard the town. you will find many
who will compare in every way with
citizens of other towns.
"Ah, who so base that he will hear dis
puted,
The honor of town SO well reputed.
While life remains, may still respect the
spot,
Where the Ruler of all things has cast my
