Lan.pas of Horses.--As the season of the year is now approaching, when some people commence one of the most cruel and barbarous practices, ever re- tained by any people, pretending to be civilized, viz: that oi burning out the lampas from the mouths of young hor- ses, we cannot refrain from making a few remarks upon that subject. At what time or with what people this prac- tice originated, we will not pretend to say; but if there is one nation who should either discontinue the practice, or else say less of the general diffusion of useful information, hat IS Anerica.

 The idea that the enlargemento of that part of horses mouth, is disease, has long been exploded by all vcterina- " surgeons. llhorses are subject to it, between the ages of three and five, more or less: and in many cases this soft spongy enlargement descends to a level with the fore teeth, yet, upon examin- ing it, there will not be found any marks of tenderness or inflammation indicating disease! and ifleft to the operation Of nature, will disappear, and the horse 1 will have sound and healthy mouth not to speak of the danger of bleeding the horse too freely, by opening the pal ctine artery, the manner of performing the operation is shocking to the feelings of humanity, as well as painful to the animal. 1t is uncalled for, and must be considered piece of wanton cruelty.
