described in my letters upon that quaint
region. L allude to the stock breeding Q

man, cousin of the deceased foregoing
The Colemans were Irishmen. The
original Coleman was employed as wood
chopper by the proprietor of the Mound
iron works, near Lebanon, Pennsylvania
One day the proprietor received let
ter from man in his employ, beautifully
written, and signed Coleman, asking for
some bread and meat, the writer saying
he was starving. Not the mans needs,
but his handwriting moved this finty
ironmaster. He sent for Coleman and
made him confidential book keeper The
The lrishman, by shrewdness aud grow
ing influence, finally absorbed the bust
ness of his befriender, and left an im-
mense interest to two sons. One of these,
recently deceased, founded the largest
stock farms in the middle States He
bought stallion called Speed wells Ham

at $40, 900, and at present the estate is
occupied by $50 mares, which are charged
$3.50 for serving, exclusive of feeding.
To this farm Western stock is diverted
on its way to market, and made big for
Boston and New England draught pur
poses.
The Pennsylvania Germans, whatever
their ignorance on matters of monetary
science, are adopts at stock breeding, aud
there are quantities of directly imported
