Almost six full yeatsi Mad now elapsed, and the
recollection even of the lost animal had nearly fail
ed from the MIND. At this period s9kdsmdan from
the east, in the course of business, was travelling
on horseback on Ithisroad on his Ray Phiiadel-
phio. When within four miles Of asyillagsion the
road, the traveller was overtaken by respectable
looking gentleman on horseback, a resident or tho
Yillagei returning home from short business Tiae,
Riding along side by side, they soon engaged in
pleasant desultary conversation. The gentleman
was Immediately struck with the appearance of the
travellers horse2 And every glance of the eyecaSt
toward him, seemed to excite an interest and curl
tyto look at him again, and to revive Tecolec-
ton Of something he had seen before, and soon esl
tdb1ished in his mind the simipfession; That fot all
the world he looked like the horse he had lost
six years ago. This soon9 became so inesistably
fixed in his mind, that le remarked 10 the trayeler:

to me- Five years ago, the past autumn, AyaliaA
Bile young horse was stolenafrom my stable. Great
search was made for him, but no! tidings of him
ever came to- hand In color, appearance, and
movements it seems tome he was the exact coun-
terpatt ofthe horse you areDon. 1t would be-
hardly possible Il Think or4two to be so near
alike But myyhorsewaS nm .uncommonly intelli=
gent, sagacious animal & And Twill make proper
Sition to YOU thatwiil place the matter in such a.
position, that the result will be conclusive and
satisfactory, think, to both OF US. We are now
within a mile .ofmy residence, which is one on tlp
road, in the centre ofthe village before us. Whfn'
we arrive atmyNhouse, your horse shall be itiedtN
4 the east postin front of mYdoor. The horse lam
on, to the west pest. After standing short time,
the bride your horse shall be taken off, and If he
does not go to apair ofbars the west side ofthe
/, house, and pass over, and go round to the east
4 side of the barn, and pull out pin, and openthe
middle stable door and enter, Twill not claim him..
4 Tfhe docs Twill furnish you conclusive evidence
thet.he was bred byme but never sold, that he was
stolen from me just at the conclusion of the war
about the very time you you purchased him',e,;
/ The traveller assented to the trial. The horse
w as hitched to the post as proposed, stood a few
minutes. the bride was then5taken off, he rosed
his head, pnekediup his ears, lookedupthe' street
several times. Then deliberately and slowly
walked past the house and over the bars, and to
the stable door, as described, and with his teeth
and lip, drew outth pin, and opened the doot'
and entered his old STALL We hardly need add, he
was recognized by his neghbors, who fully attest7
the facts stated blythe claimant, andthe tray-
eler lost his title to the horseRSrul Newspaper.
