—A few nights ago E. T. Shubrick,
Esq,, was called on to doctor a sfck
horse, by one of his tenants. He
looked over the files of ids agricultu
ral journals and found a number of
“infallible euros/’ among wbioh was
one which prescrioed casior oil and
turpentine. The halter was thrown
over the limb of a tree and the hc-se’s
head reined up in the usual way for
drenching. The medicine was poured
down the patient’s throat and a rno
ment or two given to insure swallow
ing. The bailor was them slackened
and down, down went the horse in
his tmeks; he never uttered a sound
nor even gave a dying kick. The
only sound was from the poor negro
who said: “Ugh. Mars Ed.” And
in those wards was expressed the
fear that his last chance for a crop
had gone with the last breath of that
horse. Squire Shubriek says Klie had
aken a rifle to the sick horse it would
have been less trouble and almost as
efrcct.ua! as this prescribed remedy.
Moral: Don’t physic your horse with
ust any remedy find floating around
in the public prints.

—Many of our people areconslan'-
ly going to New Oriea'ii. We want
to caution them against sopping at
the “City Ho’cl,” as It proposes to do
a legitimate hotel business and has
that appearance, but It is the greatest
swindle we have ever encountered in
the way of a hotel. The proprietor

he voluntarily agreed to charge. It

—Some of our wealthy citizens
have casually remarked to us that

otbes told us they would take a
liberal amount of sock. That such
an enterprise would pay good divi
dends on the investment, and make a
handsome return iu building up the
material prosperity of the town, is
beyond a pc raven In re. Both of our
liolols are frequency crowded to their
utmost and they can not oiler those
inducements to visitors who want to
spend any length of time here, (hat
could be offered in a commodious
building. Washington is one of the
most lualthful *nd charming com

We must have the hotel.
