HE HORSE DIED PROMPTLY.
A very good and true story is reported with Prof. Marsh in the titlerole. "While walking on Prospect street near his home not long ago he remarked a horse attached to a dilapidated ash-waggon driven by an aged negro, which animal had on its leg a queer bone formation. The professor stopped, the team, made a cursory examination of tHe protuberance, and concluded the interview by saying in a half-joking way that when the horse died lie would like that leg for scientific examination and would give $5 for the same delivered to his house. A couple of hours later, on his return home, he found a long awkward bundle at his front door on the verandah, and it required no careful examination to reveal th 6 leg of a horse. "Yo see, sab," the owner of the ash-waggon remarked, with a peculiar look in his eye, "de old horse he died."
