$500 from the LIST of April to the LIST day
| OF August at $50 THE SEASON, and $50 to
INSURE. In all cases 81 to the Groom.
BASHAW, sired by K0ssuth, dam thorough
bred, by Aiamode; Alamode by imported
Margrave. Kossutb's pedigree is given to
show bis abundance of Messenger blood. con-
sidered by all to be the best ever disseminated.
Kossuth was by New York Black Hawk,
out Of The celebrated trotting mare, Lady OF
the Lake; her dam WAS out of Messenger
mare. New York Black Hawk was by An
drew Jackson; the sire also of Jackson, KEN
BILE Jackson, Henry Clay, Young Andrew
jackson, and many other fast ones Andrew
Jackson was by Young Bashaw; Young Ba-
shaw was by imported Bashaw; the dam Of
Andrew Jackson was by Whynot, and he by
old imported Messenger; the grand dam Of
Andrew Jackson was also by imported Mes
senger.
New York Black Hawks dam was the dis
tinQuished trotting mare, Sally Miller, who
trotted her mile in 2 m. 80 Sec, and she was
not excelled by any horse of her day. Sally
Miller was by Tippo Saib, he by imported
Messenger.
II will readily be seen that Bashaw is rela-
ted to the best horses of our country, and that
the fresh infusion Of thorough blood through
his dam gives him superiority for producing
colts of speed and endurance, as blood will
tell
Na5- Any gentleman from the county send
ing a mare to the horse, will have her fed each
day free Of charge. The person bringing her
will also receive his meals free OF charge.

AN AMUSING SCENE IN Court ROOM
I'm an evening Of very warm day last Au-
onst. his Honor Mayor Collins of Portsmouth
with several other officials, were seated in the
Court Room of that city, busily engaged in
adjusting municipal affairs, when a maiden
lady of about .forty-t'oo summers, rushed
breathlessly into the room, and throwing her.
self upon chair, declared she was completely
overcome by her feelings, asked for glass Of
water and begged that the windows be open
ed Immediately, threatening to faint if her re-
quests were not instantly complied with.
These hasty commands having been speedily
executed, and the fair ~ creature somewhat
restored, she proceeded to account for her ex-
element and to disclose the nature of her un-
timely intrusion, by saying that she was ut
tefly exhausted by indefatigable labors IN her
excessive zeal to provide for the comfort of
"noor dear. little innocent" who had lost
both father and mother, and whom she wish
ed to adopt and rear as her own. In answer
to inquiries of the Mayor, she further stated
in detail, that she was the Principal OF Jul
venile Freedmens Institute and had recently
found the "poor, dear, little innocent in the
hands of lady who had taken charge of it
solely for humanitys sake, and who was not
capable of instructing the child, who would
grow up in ignorance and stupidity, unless
size be allowed to relieve this lady of her
thankless burden, and she implored in most
touching appeals written permission from
his Honor, to take the "poor, dear, little in
nocent" and carry it to her own house.
Moved by her entreaties, the Mayor was
about to grant her prayer, when one of the
other officials whisperingy desired him to ask
the importunate fair, the color of this tender
orphan. His Honor turned upon him most
whitening look, and remarked it was white
child of course, but merely to satisfy his still
ipcrelulous friend, requested the name and
color of the infant The sympathetic maiden
proudly replied, "the poor, dear little inno-
cent is called Henry Fitz James, and is
charming colored cherub" What followed is
best kept concealed-csrtain it is she made
rapid strides for the door, aud left the party
convulsed with laughter, save the Mayor, who,
thinking be was victimized, resumed his bust
ness in no pleasant state Of mind.

FUN Is FUN.--gut taking down the sign Of
respectable M. D. and placing it over the
door of Limb of the Law, might not be
considered "fun" in the strict acceptation of
the term.
Yet, so do they not think, in our goodly
sister city across the water. We learn that
heavy work was done in this particular line
last night, across the water. We heard of
several Lawyers Offices being suddenly trans
formed into Bakerys, and Dry Goods houses
turned into Liquor stores, to say nothing of
the shoe shops being converted into butchers
stalls, and ice houses opened as summer re.
treats.
All this may be fun to the night walkers Of
Portsmouth, but it is serious infraction Of
the peace and dignity of the city, real incon-
venience to the parties deprecated upon, RAJ
ther beneath the occupation of young gentle
men and in all earnestness ought to be stop
