A Knowing Horse.

Boston Transcript There is a trick practiced by one of the West End tow-horses on the Cambridge street hill which has no doubt been noticed by a great many people, and which is well worth being put on record. The horses stand in line at the foot of the hill, each, when he returns from a tow, taking a position at the year. In this way each horse gets his turn at towing. Among the tow-horses at this hill is a bignecked gray, a stout and wise old fellow. He has been seen, when the tow-doys aro temporarily around the corner, as they sometimes are, to sneak out of his position when he has got to the head of the line and quietly movo around to the foot. In this way he dodges his turn in pulling the car up the bill.
