"( TOLEN from the subscriber, on the
22d of August last, a likely dark bay
mare 3 years old last spring, about 4 sect
l_o inches high ; she has a long tail and
hanging mane on the right side, a star in
her forehead, both hind sect white, small
sect and— legs, long and beautiful neck,
trots and gallops well, but is not branded .
] doubt the villain's intent who stole the
said mare was to dispose of her as sogm as
he'could convey her to the back parts,
where I have the greatest reason to
believe he' carried her. Ifso, itis probable
he-has disfigurcd her, by docking and
branding; however, is any person will be
particular, ] think they may easily know
her from the description given. ] will give
