DEARLY BELOVED Know ye that
was possessed of beautiful mare named
Kate, and that on the oath Of September
last. she was stolen, by some denizen,
fear, of your stats, and was traced TO
Deckertown, where the trail was st.
trust you will not, therefore, regard it as
impenitent in me, if, in these affective cir.
cumstahces, l invoke your aid
That you may know something Of the
depth of this affection, will recount some
the excellent qualities of this quadruped,
which are many and great. She is very
kind in her disposition, and whether in
harness or under tie saddle, she is pro.
nounced by those who knew her best, to
be the most complete Of her species. No
terrors can alarm her, no accident can
provoke her to run: and she will jump
SO gently over hemlock log that may
have fallen across the road,if you are in
Il sleigh, that you hardly know anything
has happened. She is a real missionary
in her feelings, and delights in nothing
more than bearing her master on into the
destitute settlements to preach. She is
punctual in attendance upon the Presby>
te'y; but snuffs at those Deacons who,
when they know the Presbytery is to
meet in their place, have no oats yet
thrashed out. Hospitable in her feelings
shs loves to see this kindness exemplifi-
ed in others. She loves TO have good
preachers horse drop in OF Saturday
evening she cheerfully welcomes him to
stall by her side, and is willing to share
with him her last morsel. When her
master is wearied in study she loves to
bear him out on little excursions, in
which he may obtain. by means Of his
fly rod, a beautiful supply for his brsak>
fast table.
She knows every good trout stream
and hole within ten miles OF this place |;
and will trot past pickerel pond with
out deigning to notice it. She thinks
ministers Of the Gospel do right to pre-.
serve their calling, and in accordance with
apostolic example. Many excellent Doc

alton and health in the country, she has
borne on excursions of this character, and

gle known duty. She was never known
TO turn away from the poor and the af>
flicied because they were in humble cir
cun1stances, but would stand BY them to
the last, even though compelled, for want
Of food, to gnaw post. She rejoiced in
visits Of mercy, and chcerfully went any
distance to impart comfort to the discon-
solste, or to aid them in the burial of
their dead. She was excellent at fune.

ever at the service Of the infirm and aged,
on such occasions. She would lead d
procession for miles, faster than any horse
ever known in this region, and yet not 10
out of walk. And what shall I say
more, excepting that. in a single instance
she is the most perfect of her kind, and
her loss to me is great and irreparable.
