 ivitli ciil liuy and straw have boeii before point- 

 out. \V:ion tlic olieek is injured by tlic upper 

 nduig teeth, it may bo perceived by scparntini; 

 jaws and pressing out the ciieok witli the 

 er : there is also a tenderness observable upon 

 sing the chock on the outside against the teetli. 

 e horse's manner ofchewing also is remarkable; 

 I he is often seen, after attempting for some time 

 n.isticate his hay, to throw it out in the manger, 

 ed up like a large quid of tobacco. .\s soon as 

 teeth are known to bti in this state, the keen 

 harp edg'." siioul 1 be filed off. The sore cheek 

 3 be afterwards washed by means of a syringe, 

 ii the lotion before mentioned. Horses are 

 le also to caries, or decay of the fore teetii, and 

 bably to tooth ach. Sometimes we observe a 

 at irregularity in the first grinding tooth, one 

 rising considerably above tlie rest; this is 

 ly knocked olfuith a blunt chisel and mallet, 

 e horses are in the habit of throwing out their 

 in the manger in the form of quids, when no 

 ;rfection can be perceived in the teeth : Such 

 es are denominated by dealers quiJders, and 

 considered of no value. This may depend on 

 e injury in the articulation of the under jaw, 

 ■om 'want of power in the muscles concerned 

 :astication or swallowing, 

 giving balls awkwardly, or rather in drawing 

 lonorue with too much force, the skin under- 

 h it, or the bridle as it is called, is sometimes 

 rated in a considerable degree. It is known 

 le horse's feeding with difficulty and fretting 

 e mouth. This may be soon cured by keep- 

 im on soft food, and syringing the part three 

 3ur times a day with the lotion mentioned 

 e. The bars of the mouth, or that part where 

 dt of the bridle bears, are sometimes injured, 

 jecome an impediment to feeling. When this 

 •t attended to, the bone often becomes carious 

 I troublesome disease will be establislied. — 

 examining the mouth in such cases, a small 

 ■ may be seen in the gum, between the tusk 

 .he first grinding teeth ; and on probing this 

 ■, the bare bone, or the carious part of it will 

 adily felt. When the disease has proceeded 

 far. Surgeon White directs to scrape the dis- 

 1 surface of the bono with a drawing knife, 

 vhen the bleeding has ceased wash it with a 

 ion of sulphate of copper (blue vitriol) ; after 

 '. cure may be accomplished in a short time by 

 ing the lotion above mentioned, or tincture of 



a skin on the inside of the mouth near the 

 of the lips, sometimes is found swoln and 

 r, so as to give pain in feeding. It may gen- 

 be got rid of by some astringent lotion, sucl" 

 it given above. But when the swelling is 

 Jerable and cannot be thus removed, the 

 prominent part should be cut out with a knife 

 ssors, and the wound afterwards washed with 

 tion of sulphate of copper. A cicatrix will 

 "orm by which the tumi<l parts will be con- 

 d and the inconvenience removed. Wlien 

 outh is in that tender and inflamed state be- 

 iescribed, as occurring to young horses the 

 tary ducts of the salivary glands under the

 The old farriers, says Surgeon White, ad- 

 atting them off; a very absurd and mischiev- 

 actice. This appearance they termed paps 

 ■irbs, and thought it necessary to remove 

 !ven in a healthy state ; they resemble veiy 

 teats, and may be seen under tiie tongue.

KO^v^lUSCO SiCliOOL,. 

 An institution under tlie title of the Koscinsco 

 School, is about to be estiiblishcd near Newark, 

 N. J. It has been organized at a recent meeting 

 of the trustees of the African Education Society 

 in that place. The intention is to appro])riate the 

 Kosciusko fund, and to raise a similar endowment. 

 The origin of the Kosciusko fund and consequent- 

 ly of the name of the sclioo), is explained in the 

 New York Observer as follows; "That distinguish- 

 ed champion of civil liberty, on his last visit to the 

 U. S. left in the hands of his friend and compeer 

 in patriotism, the venerable Thomas Jefferson, his 

 last will and testament, of which Mr Jefferson was 

 appointed the executor. By this will he gave to 

 Mr J. a fund, the available amount of which, at 

 this time, will be about i^lSjOOO to be employed in 

 liberating enslaved Africans and bestowing upon 

 them such an education, "as (to use his own words) 

 would make them better fatliers, better mothers, 

 better sons and daughters." The illustrious and 

 lamented e.xecutor, in his life time, intrusted the 

 management d..^ -"pplication of this sacred fund to 

 Benjamin L. Lear, Ksq. of Washington City, and 

 one of the Board of Trustees, and we are authoriz- 

 ed to state, that the appropriation of the fund upon 

 the principles recommended at the above meeting, 

 and adopted by the above trustees, received the 

 decided approbation of Mr Jefferson."

Wi THIN the last three years the Trustees of the 

 ."Hassachusetts Society for promoting Agriculture have 

 received from England several very valuable Animals, 

 presented to them by the public spirited British Admi- 

 ral Sir Isaac Coffin, and also his brother General John 

 Coffin, natives of Massachusetts, with the sole object 

 of improving the breeds of this Stale. And the Trus- 

 tees believing that their generous intentions would be 

 more extensively realized, if owned as private property, 

 than by any method they have been able to devise as 

 a public body — have resolved to dispose of them at 

 Public Auction at their next Cattle Sl.ow at Brighton 

 on the Iflth day of 0<tober next, under the positive 

 limitation of their being always kept within the State 

 of Massachusetts. 



The -Subscribers being appointed a Committee for 

 Ihi purpose, will receive proposals for private sale, 

 till «aid day, and give every information relating to 

 them.
