ME- ~4W Rid oCoutliul oltlllOu w Ill
asszsz4ia commence his second season
at the stables Of the Wayne Hotel about
the middle of March. He will be six
years old the 9th day of May. He was
raised by Col. Beverly A. Brown, Of
Buckingham county. Va. He is beau
tiful bay. black legs, name and tall and
upwards of l6 hands in height, and is said
by good judges to possess more power
than any other horse that stood in or near
Staunton last season and since that time
having got more age on his side, his
muscles have enlarged, and he now
shows more power than he formerly
did, although every person who saw him
at that time appeared much pleased
with his form, as well as his lofty car
rage
1t is thought by persons that have al
ready encouraged this fine young horse,
that he is better calculated to suit the
raising of fine and serviceable horses
than almost any Stallion that has stood
here for some years past. He is not on
iy OF the finest running stock in the state
of Virginia, (his great grand sire being
old Sir Archy, his dam and grand dam
full bloeded JANUS but he possesses that
size and from which will make him USE
full to all who intend raising good sub
stantial stock, as he has size enough for
the coach, saddle, wagon or plough, and
limbs that are as clear as whalebone.
This horse made good season last year,
and has proved himself very sure. Great
care will be paid so that no accidents
may happen to mares, but no response
bility TO be incurred if such should be
the case.

INTERESTING ANECDOTE.

At one OF the entertainments given 10
Mr.. Webster in Illinois, there was present
an old Revolutionary soldier, who had all.
ways been warm and ardent supporter of
General Jackson's administration. He ap.
peared to be much excited by the honors
paid to Mr. Webster, and the enthusiasm
with which all the parties seemed to receive
him; denouncing him in measured terms as
an aristocrat; declaring that no confidence
could be placed in his patriotism, and ex-
pressing determination TO contradict g has
ties on the spot; and saying also, that he
came for that purpose, and resolved to do it.
Accordingly he took his seat near Mr.. W.
and waited the commencement Of his speech.
The toast to this distinguished orator and
statesman touched upon his services in de.
fence Of the Constitution, and he commen.
ced his remarks by an alIusion to that in.
strument.
After disclaiming any peculiar credit for
any efforts Of his own, he proceeded to di.
late upon the value Of those sacrifices and
concessions by which our liberties had been
achieved, and finally secured BY the adop.
ton of our great charter. He spoke also
Of its vast importance, the consequences
which would result from its destruction, and
the disappointment of all those high hopes
which had been entertained By those who
had witnessed It's adoption. He had been
speaking in this strain but few moments,
when the old soldier was observed to be in
tears. After finishing this subject, touch.
ing upon some other topics, Mr.. W. came
to consider the present situation Of the coun.
try, tracing Out, step by step, the causes
which led to il, and deHneating with mas.
ter's hand the successive measures by which
this furnishing and happy country bad been
brought, TO the verge OF ruin; pointing on,
also, the various pretences which had been
made use Of By Gen. jackson to shield his
attacks upon the currency, and exposing
their utter hollowness and insutiiciency.
After closing a most eloquent and e1ec-
tive speech what was the surprise Of those
10 whom the old soldier bad expressed bis
determination, and 10 whom his yiolen,
partalItles were well known, 10 Gce him
walk up 10 MIR. " and offer hin ais hand.
Not only did he do this, bat 10 the presence
Of an assembled multitude, he SAID " Sir |
came here to deny whatever you might
say; ! expected to hear yol make state.
ments with which could not agree. But,
sir, you are right. What YOU have stated
! know 10 be true for have witnessed
and seen it all, and am now convinced
that the Administration has been wrong
You are true freud Of the country and
cannot go away without telling YOU SO, and
shaking YOU BY the hand"
This was the substance OF the old vete.
rams remarks, and then their effect may be
well imagined. One involuntary shout
broke from the surrounding multitude, and
continued 10 ring long after he had retired.
