Howe, a weatlhy retired farmer, recently spent $105 in one of the strangest humane acts ever heard .of in this county. About a year a^t, when he gave up his farm, Howe sold to another farmer a team of sleek old work horses that he had raised from colts He sold the horses for $100, with a written agreement, signed by a number of witnesses, that the purchaser should keep the animals in as fat and good looking ~ condition as he received them. A clause in the contract gave Howe the privilege of buying back the animals at the same price he sold them in case there was any violation ? by the purchaser. Several days ago Howe found that the man to whom he had sold the horses was working them so hard that they were getting very poor and had sores on their shoulders. He demanded the horses back and, it is ? said the man who had them ..refused to give them up. Howe then went to the sheriff and showed him the contract. After v reading the document the sheriff went out with Howe to the farmer's home and advised the man to sell them back. The man gave up the horses after Howe had paid him $100, and then found a man who agreed for $5 to shoot the animals and bury them.?Flint, Mich., telegram to the Detroit Free Press.

Upon ^ it, outstretched, face upward, in a ^ pool of blood, lay a young figure, a lieutenant of skirmishers, killed a quarter of arfi hour ago. "Come on! ^ Come on!" shouted the colonel, his face turned to his men. "Victory! . To-night we'll write home about the victory!" His foot felt for the top edge of the boulder. He sprang upen it, and faced with suddenness the young 1 dead. The oncoming line saw him bis stand as if frozen, then with a stiff ??c jerk up went the sword again. "Come on! Come on!" he cried, and plung- Tbl ing from the boulder continued to mount the desired slope. His men, 13 ^ close behind him, also encountered scb the dead on the altar slab. "Good ar0 God!
