1t is with great pleasure, con sidering the past success
and the high reputation this horse has gained. that 1
present him before the public for the use OF Mares
and the improvement of stock the coming season, at
my stable, half mile west of Hurricane Corners, in the

DESCRIPTION.
This Horse is a Jet black a good traveller, is
kind in harness, with great powers Of endurance, stands
full seventeen hands high, weighs l4S5 pounds and for
beauty of form, compactness, strength Of limb and mus
Gle is surpassed by no other horse.
A full detailed Pedigree is needless further than to
say that he is French bred, and raised at Montreal,
Canada. His Dam was an imported English Mare of
great purity of blood and speed.
As this Horse wont be moved from his own stable,
and 10 convince farmers and stock raisers generally that
1 offer this Horse as no humbug or imposition, as is too
often practiced by horse men, i present a few certif-
Gates from men that are known throughout the county
to be men OF veracity and Judgment, that we can look
to not only for their great success for raising valua-
~bletstock but for various improvements in agriculture
and science.

him 10 be a sure foal- and his stock for size and
action cannot be beaten in the West
