Speaking of horse», there are horses and “bosses,” but the greatest horse I ever knew was the black stallion ridden by Sergt. Muehler, of the Third Penn sylvania Cavalry, in Sheridan’s valley campaign. 1 never could find out how this horse got into ths army. He was a magnificent specimen of horseflesh, and pretty nearly thoroughbred. One day, along in the late Fall of 1804, the enemy was inet near Front Royal, X’a., md then there was charging and conn- er-charging. The black stallion, with a •onrage that was magnificent, would »rry his rider far into the enemy’s lines, and while his rider was stashing »way with his sabre right and left the stallion would lash out with his heels it every opportunity at the steed rid- len by his opponent, and rear and strike and bite as savagely at him as if possessed of the very devil. Mueh ler was teaching him tricks all the time, and finally, after considerable practice, he got him so he would pur sue another cavalaryinan, and, catch ing him by the blouse at the back of the neck, pull him from his horse. Along in the XX'inter of 1864 Sheridan sent Custer after Rosser, near Stras burg, and there was in a short time the prettiest horse race up the valley that you ever saw. Custer’s men soon eaught up with Rosser, and then they had it hammer and tongs. The black stallion, as usual, outran everything in tbe chase, and singling out a victim, went for him with savage fury. 1 hen swinging the reb clear out of his saddle carried him in his teeth several feet and held him until his rider got hold of his prisonerjby the scruff" of the ncek and sent him to the rear. On another occasion he got so interested and ex cited in a fight up the valley that he carried his rider into the enemy’s lines, where both were captured. A few days later, in a fight near Mt. Jackson, much to our amazement the black stallion was seen running away with a rebel saptain on his back, nnd before his rider could control him he was safely within our lines with his rider, and thus made an even exchange for his Jerelietion a few days ago.— Intervieie CongrctKinan AUcn.

Although electrocution is a dismal failure as a mode of inflietiug the death penalty on criminals, it is claimed to have great commercial advantages when applied to hogs. It is claimed that the ¡Kissage of the current not only kills tiie hogs, but kills tricnina» at the same time. Whether this claim has any foundation in fact, we cannot, at the time of writing, say; but it seems plausible. If substantiated, the dis coverer should be canonized as a great benefactor of the human race, and de serves of congress a gold mesial for a clear-cut solution of the international question raised by the American hog.

The blood poor, andjseores of diseases result. needs a tonic to enrich it. A certain wise doctor, after years of patient study, discovered a medicine which purified the blood, gave tone to the system, and made men—tired, ner vous,brain-wasting men—feel like new. He called it his “Golden Medical Dis covery.” It has been sold for years, sold by the millions of bottles, and j>eo- ple found such satisfaction in it that Dr. Pieroe, who discovered it, now feels warranted in selling it under a positive guarantee of its doing good in all cases Perhaps it’s; the ¡medicine* for you.

The supposed fish were of a kind known rnly to abound in a lake near the City if Mexico, and this added to the won der. Four specimens were secured by a busit.ess firm of Sibley, and have been on exhibition ever since. They are something like a lizard, have four legs, tame number of fingers and toes as an dligator, equally happy in water or out of it. One of them walked across the store ll<x»r as lively as a cricket, and on being returned to the water swam equally well. Another thing altout them, they arc changing their i*ersonal ap]iearance. XX’hen captured each had a row of feathers, or someting like it, ¡round the throat, or where the gills Right to be. These have disappeared, ind they have changed or shell their skins and are now becoming spotted.
