AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. The Horse. W» often look with wonder and awe upon the many fine specimens of this noble animal which are seen in our cities Wbat would man ba and what could he do without a horga. His presence and the service and thebenefita winch he be■tows upon man, geenj to us alone a sufficient proof of the existence of God and of the degree of care and protection which he exercises toward man. A hundred animals, quiet ae useful arid ag •apable of being domesticated for the •errice of mao, might easily have been created by the same power that made the horse. This one, however, was •uScient, and as the creator only designs to furnish us with what ie necessary lor our use and requisite for the development oi our faculties, only this one was given. Wt confess that wo bare often lamented the fate of the horse, when we have seen him, as he frequently does, evincing not only more o’ the virtues of usefulness amiability, and effort, but ev«-n a higher degree of intelligence than his owner or driver. One is sometimes strongly tempted to believe if this animal could walk erectand possess'd hands and the power of speech he would he the superior of man. and <0 wonder if all his intelligence, docility and usefulness is never to rec-ive any other reward than his measure of corn and oats, unt 1 the time come’ for him to end bts brief but laborious and useful existence. We cannot resist ti e thought, sometimes, that he tea Ligler intelligence than we suppose, perhaps a fallen spirit, degraded in its embodiment, ar. 6 working out a life <1 probation and penance, and never look at a fine, intelligent horse, without feeling in some de gree an increase of reverence and d ar k fulness to the Almighty Creator The Bible seems to decide the pou t that the first domestication of the horswas in Eg.pt and not in Arabia, a’ some have supposed. When the Israelites came into Canaan we find that the

Car.aani’es went out Io fight against thrrn, with many c ! ariots and i ors<=naen. Six hnndred year* after the time just r.ftrredto Arabia find no horses. Solo raon imported silver, gol 1 and spices from Arshin, bat ail the horses for his own cavalry •and chariots, he procure ! from Egypt. In this place it is nr n tinned that a horse brought from Egypt cost one hundred and fifty shekels of ■liver, which a: two shillings three pence each, the accepted value of a shekel of silver, amount to about £l7’ter ling, an enormous sum for thpse dsvs Though tht> horse las long been the companion and ths s-rvsnt of man, yet his native country cann ,t with eertan tty be traced. It seema probable that he was first domesticated in Egypt, but ti e precise period is not known. About two thousand years before the birth of Christ, when Abraham was driven into Egypt by the famine which raged tn Canaan, Pharoah rffrred him she<p. oxen and camels. Horses wnn'd doubt lew Lava been added, had they then ex- ■ fated, or ha J they been domesticated in ■ Egypt Fifty years efierw-rda, when Abraham jum-yed to Mount Moriah to offer up his only son, he r«de npot an ass, which vtih all his wealth end; power he would not heve done bad tl c horse been known. Thirty yeara later an account is given of the number o' ex»n, sheep, cumels, goats and asses which Jacob sent to appease the anger of Esau, but no horses are mentioned ; Twenty -four years alter this when fam ine again devastated Canaan, and Jaeobj rent into Egypt to buy corn, we first hear of horses Wagon* drawn bv horses were sent by Joseph into Canaan ' to’brirg his father into Egypt. Even then, however, horses do not seem to have been used as brass of burden, for the corn which was to be conveyed fjtne hundred of miles to afford susten , aoce to Jacob’s large household, was owned on asses.—Journal of Commerce Par'CRACE or cows—lt is well known ; that Cheshiie, is a great daisy county ; J This lies not (ar from Liverpool.
