WHEREAS a man about the middle of
December last came to my house, (he sub
scriber's) and in the way of difeourfihg I asked him from
whence he came ? he said from Maryland. In the
morning he told me that he was going to one Christian
Kern, with whom he had left a horse in the month of
July jaft, and that he was going to take him away. In
his return he called at roy house again; I alked him
wheththe had got his horse ? he answered no, and that
Mr, Kern had told him the horse was dead. In the
month of January lalt my neighbour Jacob Weasel came
to my house, and told me that Mr. Kern had fold the
above mentioned horse to orre Henry Hoover ; I en
quired ot said Hoover's neighbours whether he had such
a horse; they said he had. After forae time I told
'Squire M'Henry of the matter, and that he fheuld tell
Mr. Hoover not to dispose of said horse, but keep him
till the right owner came for him : Mr. M'Henry told
it to said Kern, who came to me and enquired about
the man, land whether he w%6 German or English ; I
told him a German by his fpeecb, and he replied that
the owner of the horse was an English native Now,
therefore, if the owner should hear of this) and will ap
ply to Mr. Henry Hoover, in Blocks County, Pennsyl
vania, he may find his dead horse alive again.
And whereas I observed in Mr. Kern's advertisement
that he desires the owner to come and take away his
herfe, otherwise he would fell him within three weeks
after notice to pay costs, at which I am very much fur
prized, for Mr. Kern with his own mouth confeffed be
fore me and evidences, that he had fold the horse and
r^ceifed the money.
