my money back and receive his horse back again, as the horse 
is now just as I bought him. O Ivord, we hold no grudge 
against German, and we don’t want him to have enmity 
against us ; but we want our money back because we are en¬ 
titled to it. Thou hast said that brethren should dwell together 
in unity, and it is our desire so to do, but we can’t do it if Ger¬ 
man don’t take his horse back and return my $50. Soften his 
heart toward us ; forgive our enemies ; give me a safe deliver¬ 
ance in this trial, and bless this good Democratic judge who 
has just been indorsed by the solid Republican party of Rehigh 
county.” Thomas went on with his prayer for ten minutes, and 
at its conclusion the trial gravely proceeded. The jury patiently 
listened to all the evidence. The parties are farmers near Slat- 
ington, but German deals in horses. The jury brought in a 
verdict for the defendant, and apparently Thomas’ prayer had 
not been answered as he desired, German, the defendant, having 
shown that the horse was not “knuckled,” but was big-boned 
and sound, as represented. The scene was as impressive as it 
was unusual. This was the first old-fashioned horse case tried in 
court since the days of the famous case of Freyman vs. Knecht 
in 1872, which went to the Supreme Court no less than three 
times, and which cost the parties litigating for fees and ex¬ 
penses the tidy sum of $800. The mare in that case was worth 
$125, and the plaintiff alleged that Freyman “warranted her 
all over,” but admitted that he noticed the bad condition of one 
of her eyes. Freyman in that case swore he said “ I warrant 
just while in my stable, and when she is out I don’t.”— (Al/en-
