IHFnr Horse. s.f7 att 10 ant
From the st. Johnsbury UtJ Calsdouian-
A discovery has been made in regard to the
famous trotting horse Dexter, now owned by
M: nobert Bonner, of the New York Ledger,
winch Is destined to create no little stir among
the horse fanciers Of this country, and at the
same time take the credit of that celebrated
morse from the Hambletonian stock (where it
has been awsrded) and place it to the credit
ofthe Morrill, blood, where it belongs. In short,
Dexter was raised in Danville Caledonia coun-
ty; his sire was the old French Morrill, horse,
and bus dam the Boyee mare. This, in brief,
is the pedigree of this wonderful horse, As the
story goes. The person who has made this
discovery is Cornelius Russell, a man who
came here from Rockford, Illinois, last year.
The manner of the discovery, as We under
stand it, was in this wise: -ar
Mr.. Russell became impressed with the sim
ilarity of Dexter to the Morrill, stock, and by
considerable correspondence and inquiry he
traced this horse back from New York to Chi
cago from Chicago to Lower Canada, thence
to Concord, New Hampshire, and from the
latter place to Mr.. Bovee, now Of Passumpsic,
but who then lived in Danville. On talking
with Mr.. BOvee, the latter said he raised Ger
tain colt such year, which was an uncsmmen
likely one and brought him good price. This
colt went to Concord, New Hampshire, after
which he lost sight of him. - ara 30 pr
In describing this colt, he described Dexter
perfectly and those who have seen this cele-
brated horse know that he is peculiarly mark,
ed. In addition to this, We understand Mr..
Russell has the afiidavits of all the parties
through whose hands Dexter passed from the
time he left Mr.. Bovee until he came into the
possession of Trussell, at Chicago. On Learn
ing these facts Mr.. Russell purchased the Bo-
wee mare at once, and together with the Cusii-
man and Richard Flint horses, which he
already owned, started last Monday for the
state Of Illinois. ef7lu.eaY rs
This, in brief, is a history of remarkable
case of horse imposture, and tine result of its
exposure must set up the Morrill, blood, while
those who have paid such enormous prices to
get the same breed as Destsr-as they sup.
posed--must feel rather cheap. rGi .t7fa

following description of the personel OF A. ~ Gorbih

Gold Board for the benefit of Fisk himself and some
distinguished official:
Mr. Corbin is tall spare gentleman of perhaps some
sixty years of age, though be looks older He was
born in the East but in early life emigrated to mis-
souri,, where for number of years be edled news
paper in the city of ST. Louis. At that time he was
strong supporter of Gen. Benton. While engaged as
an editor he also speeulated considerably real estate,
and amassed a small fortune. He next appeared IN
Washington, where he was known as back politician
some twenty years since. He was engaged III ehsi-
neerng claims against the Government and was known
as a member of the lobby in those days. when, how
ever, the lobby was less disreputable organisation
than it has since become. He also held some minor
political positions and occasionally contributed to the
Washington newspapers. He finally removed to New
York He was one of the donors OF the house IN New
York presented to Gen. Grant by the Loyal League
people, Mr. Corbin had been several time married
but when he subsequently became acquainted with Gen
Grant he was widower. His marriage with his pres
ent wife, Jennie Grant, first suggested to him BY
old Major Dent, the father of Gen. Grants wife. At
the old gentlemans suggestion, Mr. Corbin proceeded
to Covngton for the express purpose of making Miss
Grants acquaintance and proposing to her. The ex.
pediton was complete success. He proposed to the
lady, and after short courtship, was accepted; and
they were subsequently married. Mrs. Corbin is a
healthy, honest, whoesome-looking Western lady,
much younger than her consort cher age being appa
rently much beyond thirtyfve and she is not
like her brother, the President of the United States.
Mr.. and Mrs. Corbin members of the Methodist

In his time Mr.. Corbin has been clever poteawrite
and is credited among his friends with being the real
author of Gen. Grants inaugural address. Previous
to his marriage with Miss Grant Mr.. Corbin was ex-
ceedingly intimate with her BROTHER and he is also
credited with the remark that " if Grant should ever

IRON CLADs For Key WEsr.-The Evening Pieayune
OF the llth learns upon what it deems reliable author
lty that orders have been received By the officer in
command of the iron clad fleet lying just below New
Orleans to proceed, with little delay possible to
Key West3for the purpose, is alleged, Of making
seh repairs be necessary. This fleet of five iron
clads came from Mound City several weeks since, and
the Cubans in New Orleans were quite iubiant in the
belief that their arrival foreshadowed recognition to
the
