yard, Orchard, Vineyard, Dairy, Fish-pond, Baths, Observatory, 

 Promenades, etc. The House — IGO feet front by 180 deep, to be of 

 stone and of Norman style. Stock §25 per share, and the whole 

 cost of the land and all the improvements including the House 

 $150,000. In addition to its other attractions, this Park is recom- 

 mended by its beautiful scenery, and most salubrious atmosphere. 



The plan of the Norman Company is that no payment shall be re- 

 quired, until Twenty-four thousand dollars shall have been sub- 

 scribed ; the money first collected is to be applied to paying for the 

 lands securing to the company a perfect unincumbered title ; the 

 next, to making such improvements as are certain to be profitable, 

 as putting out fruit trees, grape vines, etc, — and whatever is done, 

 is to be upon the cash system. As no debt is to be contracted be- 

 yond the means of the company immediately available at the time 

 of making the contract, sacrifices of property will be avoided ; and 

 as the land is to be purchased at its present cash value, no loss can 

 be reasonably apprehended. 



Persons who wish to make investments, or who wish to reside in the 

 country, but near the city, during the summer, are particularly in- 

 terested in this enterprise. For the pamphlet, and for full inform- 

 ation, inquire of J. T. Crapsey, N. W. cor. of Walnut and Sixth 

 streets, Cincinnati.

Mr. Editor : — My attention was called to this subject by passing a 

 blacksmith shop, and seeing a horse refuse to submit to the barbar- 

 ous operation of having the lampas, as it is termed, burned out. — 

 Now, sir, to save the noblest of animals from that unnecessary tor- 

 ture, I will briefly state my practical experience. It frequently 

 happens that horses are brought to me with the bars on the palate 

 in a state of tumefaction, causing an unnatural prominence of the 

 lower ridges of the palate. I would not trouble you on this sup- 

 posed malady, but it has called forth infliction of great torture on 

 the animal. Lampas is neither more nor less than a torpidity of 

 the vessels of the palate, caused b}'- an inflammatory condition of 

 the gums which frequently attend the teething process. In such 3
