Scott had the misfortune to lose the services of a valued trap-mare thio morning, through the breaking of one of its pastern-joints. The mishap occurred in a provokingly simple manner, the animal, which was attached to the baker's cart, being turned round somewhat sharply, with the result indicated. Mr Scott intends to graze the mare for stud purposes if the treatment of the broken member pioves successful.
