Eng land, recently broke its leg, and it had to be amputated.

In something written we have an indistinct recollection of having made reference to a general disposition among boys in their teens, as well as bovs of maturer years, to enlighten ana bless the world with their pro found knowledge of the horse and his history. Our books and newspapers aie full of this kind of literature, and it varies in style from the production of the child at school, commencing with: The horse has four legs and a tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the scholar wlion he quotes from .leb: That his neck is clothed with thunder and the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He smeileth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains and the shouting. Between these two ex tremes of the child at his first school conization, and the profession.il literature, we have every grade of pre tention, and each professing to have mastered the whole subject. As we approach the close of this nineteenth century, we begin to look for some thing hetter in this department of knowledge from those who assume to instruct," And it is to be found in Kendalls Treatise on the horse, sent by mail to any person for twenty-five cents, postage paid.
