A writer in the Live Stock Journal thus remarks on the subject of the death of horses:— is sad to think that the horse —an animal which the late Assheton Smith, after sixty years' intimate acquaintance with both, said is equally as intelligent as the dogshould apparently suffer so greatly at the time of dissolution. It is a common thing to see other animals die peacefully, but the horse seldom does so. Professor Fred. Smith says by far the majority of horses "leave this world in powerful convulsions, lying on their side, and galloping themselves to death." Their struggles are painful to witness?. While an ox or a sheep may die unobserved in a field, and the earth bear few marks of a struggle for existence, signs of his having suffered great agony mark the death-place of the "nobleanimal." Rarely, indeed, does one witness a quiet death in horses, and the subject presents a problem for the solution of the physiologist." A few months ago Mr. Mansell, of Mansell and Co. of Shrewsbury, offered for sale by auction at the Station Hotel, York, the Aislaby Hall estate in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Lot 1 comprised Aislaby Hall and grounds, and 370 acres of agricultural land, with the Hamer grouse moor of 1147 acres. Biddings commenced ab £12,000, and it was eventually sold to Mr. Millburn, shipowner, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, at £22,500, a price equal to thirty years' purchase. Lot 2, consisting of 22 acres of agricultural land and 24 acres of woodland, realised £750. Electors in the various constituencies in an;} around Auckland will be well repaid by keeping themselves posted in the progress of the great public sale now on at the establishment of George Fowlds, Victoria Arcade. An assigned stock, purchased at 7s 3d in the £, is being rapidly cleared out at ridiculously low prices, and in all departments goods are being slaughtered.
