A Frenchman, in this country, whowas
little acquainted with horse jorkies OF horse
flesh,was previously taken in, by cheat,
in the purchase OF a steed. He gave one
hundred dollars for a miserable jade Of an
ole mare, that had been fa,tened up 10 sell,
and she turned out TO be ringboned, spav.
ined, blind, and wind-broken. The.
Frenchman pretty soon discovered that
he had been used up insthc trade, aud
went toreques, the jockey TO take back
the animal, and reIundt the money.
"Sare," said he, 81 ave fetch back de
mare.horse vat you sell me, and want &c
money 10 my pocket back" -
