The Sense Of Smell in the Horse.

Evidently the sense of smell, the
scent, in the horse is not as well
known or appreciated as it should be
by their owners and drivers.
This sense is claimed to be as accu-
rate in some horses as it is in the dog;
and for those who have to drive at
night, such as physicians, knowledge
of this fact is likely to prove valuable.
One who has ridden hundreds Of
miles on dark nights says he has never
known this power to fail. He conse-
quently advises that the horse "be
not checked in travelling at night.
Give the horse a free head then, and
one may rest assured that he will
never go wrong"
This is not praising the horse too
highly, though tits quite probable that
what thus appears is due quite as
much to the splendid eyes of the noble
animal as it is to the quality named.-

upon which it desired light The tron-
bic was all over an error made by one
of the court officials.

ance of subpoenas upon Bulloch
county parties, which had been placed
in the hands of a deputy marshal with
other authorities, when the awakening
came, the subpoenas were called In
posthastG.
The grand Jury wanted to know
where this information and other
statements as to what the grand jury
would or would not do in the States
boro matter came from. The newspa-
per men showed remarkable inability
to tell them whence they had secured
the news, save that it was common
talk.
There was a great searching OF au-
thorities and decisions before 1t was
finally admitted that the court was
without Jurisdiction in the Statesboro
matter.
