HORSE TAMING.
A rallier interesting exhibition of horse taming took place in a field at the Junction Hotel (says the “Southland Times,”) before a large concourse of spectators from town and the adjacent districts. The horse seleftled for the occasion was a hack which was parted with b}' u previous owner on account of its inveterate bucking and kicking propensities, and which Mr John Dewe, —the hnrsetaraer in question —who bad never seen the animal before, broke in so effectually that when it was set at liberty after an hour’s treatment it followed him about like An inspection of the animal convinced Mr Dewe that the constitutional defect of the horse wasnervnusness, and its intractability arose from that, and not .from a naturally vicious temper, and he treated it accordingly. The spectators were so pleased, that they made up a liberal subscription on the spot, which was handed over to Mr Dewe by Mr John MTntosh, who publicly challenged the horse-tamer to give a proof of his skill.
