"A very valuable horse was disposed of
in our market yesterday morning. He was
study-that horse was. He was not
handsome animal-any one could see that
with half an eye, but he possessed an
abundance of sterling qualities; we know
this to be the case, because the auctioneer
said SO. He could stand with a barrel be-
tween bis fore feet, without touching eth
er side; indeed, one would suppose from
looking at those legs that they were made
crooked for that express purpose. He was
a safe horse; for he could be lefS standing
unhitched all day long and would remain
quietly plunged in deep meditation, until
his owners return-that is unless some, one
would pass with load of hay, or corn. As
afamily carriage horse, this animal would
be invaluable, for it would be impossible to
frighten him, and he could meyer be pre-
vailed upon to run off. 1t was sad 10 see
this noble equine knocked off to q darkey
for the rather moderate sum Of two dollars
and fifty cents.
