Mr, Joreph Lane, of Fascombe, in

on his return home, turned his horse
into a field in which 1t had been ac
customea tog azo. A few days be
fore this the horse had been shod, al!
fours, but unluckily had been pinched
in the shoeing of cne foot. In the
mor: ing Mr. Lane missed the horse,
and caused ag active search 10 be
made in the vicinity, when the follow-
ing singular circumstance transpired :
—The animal, as may be supposed
feeling lame, made his way out efthe
field by unhanging the gate with his
mouth, and went straight to the same
farrier’s shop, a distance of a mile and
half. The farrier had no sooner
opened his shed than the horse which
had evidently been standing there
a
some time advanced to the forge and
held vp the ailing feot ; the furrier in-
stantly’ began to examine the hoof,
discovered the injury took off the shoe
and replaced it more carelully : on
which the horse iminediately turped
about and set off ata metry pace for
bis well known pasture. Whilst they
chanced to passby the forge, and on
mentioning their supposed loss, the
tarvier replied, « Oh he "has been
here and shod, and gone home again ;”
which on th:ir return, they found to
be actually the case.
