From the Oamarn Mail we learn that Mr John Bulleid has a horse which lately displayed wonderful sagacity. For some time the household were puzzled to know how it came about that the tap was frequently turned on mysteriously and the water allowed to flow, but at last the mystery was solved by the horse in question being, caught in the; act of helping himself, and since then he has been seen by many persons on numerous occasions to go to the tap and turn on the water. Mr Bulleid hopes that the animal will yet learn to complete the operation by taming the water off again after quenching his thirst. When that time somes his owner will probably claim that he possesses the most sagacious horse in the country, and it will take a heap of Money to indue* him to sell it. :
