HORNS IN THE HORSE. 
By Charles Percivall, Bsq. Enniskillen Dragoons. 
SOME time after joining the 11th Dragoons, I was asked by an 
officer of the regiment whether I had ever seen the horse with 
horns, belonging to L. Troop. This horse had once or twice been 
the subject of conversation at the mess-table; but it struck me to 
be a hoax, and as such I paid little or no attention to it. A year 
and a half having elapsed, he was admitted into the hospital sta¬ 
ble, with an attack of spasm of the intestines, w hen the dragoon 
pointed out the excrescences above alluded to, placed about two 
inches above the orbital process of each frontal bone, in the centre 
of the forehead, two inches apart, projecting from half to three 
quarters of an inch from the surface of the frontal bones, veiy 
much resembling what is felt in young calves five or six months 
old.
