An Incident of the War.

[Portage (Wis.) State Register.) An incident like the following is always worthy of record: During a cavalry charge under Gen. Kilpatrick, in N. Carolina, in our late civil war, Mr. G. A. Selbach was thrown from his horse and received a severe sprnin of the left wrist. He used various liniments for sixteen years, without effect, and was cured by it single bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. A new method of suicido was recently chosen by a Russian teacher. He mounted his horse and madly leaped from a high precipice into a river. The man was drowned, but the horse, though much hurt, came out of the water alive. Rich in muscle-producing material beyond all other foods and medicines are Malt Bitters. Prince Demidoff, whose villa, with its wealth of artistic treasures, was lately sold at Florence, recently lost in a single night at cards the trifle of 1,500,000 francs. Two Russians were the winners. Equally adapted to the feeble or robust, male or female, are Malt Bitters. Horses need good care in these hot days of mid-summer. They should be kept clean by frequent currying and occasional washing of the legs and feet. The flies will cause the most inconvenience, and while working in the field some protection from them in the shape of nets or thin blankets (sheets) is a great comfort to the animals. Keep the stables clean that they may not harbor flies or develope any bad odors. Horses that are at regular farm work need good food —better than grass alone will give. Oats or ground feed of some kind must supplement the pasture at night.
