Horse Sagacity and Frmacss.-A Car
man WI. driving along Bcekman street few
days since, and suddenly his horse came to
dead stund-aW without any apparent cause.
He urged tho animal to proceed, by blows
as well as words, to 10 effect, and as he had
always been kind and true before his obsti-
macy was incxpiicahle. The passengers on
the street gathered round; the cart was
pushed and the horse severely isoggcd, all
to no purpose. A bystander who felt some
sympathy for the animal. observing that a
pump Was near, and that the horse kept his
eye upon it, observed that perhaps,the poor
fellow wanted his grog, and would not leave
the tavern till he had it. A bucket was ac-
ccrdingly brought, the Corhoration gin filled
into it, and the famishcd beast drank off three
bucket bumpers before his thirst was slakcd.
He Immediately turned from the pump, and
with his accustomed kindness went on with


his load, with no other fault finding, than
that which fell on the head of his improvi-


dent and cruel master. ~ Y. .4droeate.
