BLACK FOX.

FsSiilS much admired young horse will stand
H. the ensuing season at our stable in Belle
VILE one halt the time, and the other half at
the farm of the Rev. Edward Mitchell, and
will be let to mares on the following terms,
viz; Four Dollars the season, if paid BY the
1st July next; Six Dollars if paid out of the
season, which NAV be discharged in good
understandable pork, weighing 1879 and up
wards, at the market price, if delivered in
Belleyllle by Christmas next. Eight Dollars
the insurance.
A sincere desire to improve the breed of
horses in the state, was the principal induce
ment in the purchase of the Black Fox. The
same sentiment, together with the difficulty
OF the times. has induced the subscribers 10
ofter him to the public on the above accom-
modating terms. We are bold to say that we
consider the Black Fox from nose to tail the
best horse in the western states. lie haa a
fine deep mouth, with thin close shut lips; a
large wide spreading nostrl; full shining
sprghtly eye; an ear pointed and erect. In
short, to save ourselves the trouble of further
description, we have the horse and can pro.
duce him, and we invite the public, we invite
the best Judges to the most scrutinizing exa.
mination, and defy the most severe critic to
discover single deficiency in bone, muscle
snew, or proportion. Those who are fond Of
| rearing fine horses, and of selling them for fine
prices, have now an opportunity Of accom-
plishing their wishes.
PEDIGREE.
The subscribers feel particularly happy ir
having it in their power to offer to their fellow
citizens horse as unexceptionable in blood
| as in form, and we have been much pleased
to observe an increasing disposition duly &c
appreciate this important quality of a horse
The BLACK FOX was got by the ceebrat ed
horse Old Elegant Elegant by Comet Co
met by Old Celer. His dam in both form and
BLOOD. was among the finest mares that Virgil
MIA ever produced, Her first colt was the ia
nous Red Fox, horse well known through
out Virginia and deemed invincible on the
turf. She was got by the old imported Higl
Flyer; her dam was imported from England
by Col. Tayloe, Of Virginia, and " as got b,
Wild Air; her grand dam by Traveller, anc

FIRE 1t becomes our painful duty
to record the dire effects of this devour-
ing element. On Friday the 18th inst.
between the hours of one and TWO O'Clock
at night, the kitchen of the two story
house OF Mr.. II. Starr, occupied by Mr..
Samuel Smith, p. NJ. was discovered to
be on hre-every eyeriion was made TO
stop its progress, but in vain--from The
kitchen it communicated with the dwell
ing OF Mr.. S. and from thence to the
house Of J. Feaman. The fortunate d.
rection OF the wind, and the application
of wet blankets prevented the flames
from reaching the shop of the latter,
which was within or feet o the house.
The three buildings were consumed to
the foundation in The space of three or
four hours. Sparks caught in The roof
of the Roman Catholic Church and one
or two other houses, which was subdaed
before material damage was done. The
movable property was principally saw

phical description should be made, which will
convey correct knowledge OF their local ad.
vantages.-Persons living at distance have
hitherto had no adequate means of obtaining
precise or definite information respecting
them. The time has arrived when their great
natural resources are rapidly developing, and
when it is preceved, they are marked out by
nature as places where capital and industry
may be employed, with certainty of success.
In point OF climate they are not inferior, and
in point of mineral wealth and fertility of soil,
they are search equalIed in any other section
of the union or Of the globe. Under these
impressions, the publisher solicited and OBJ
tanned the consent of the Surveyor General.
to have access to all papers in his office. which
might be requisite in the execution of the pre-
sent design.
The map will be made from actual survey,
the distances represented by scale of eight
| or ten miles to the inch. The extent of coun-
try proposed to be described, extends six
hundred miles from north to south, by four
hundred from east to west. The counties,
towns, villages, lead mines, salt springs, state
roads, boundaries of the states, and the ati-
| tude and longitude will be correctly define
aled. The heads of navigation of those streams
within the country that have been surveyed,
will be designated by reference to the mar
gin of the map. The large confirmed Spa
! nlsh claims will also be represented.
