EQUNE.-Anotberg good stepper-a six year
old gray horse has been Introduced into town
by Mr. A. G. Fisk. His stock is not known.
He is large and rangy, and his action is bold,
open and vigorous As he is green-never
having been handled, us is snid-he promises d
good gait He is an addition to our shall
stock Of superior roadsters.
BLAIR's stallion, though large and heavy OF
build, shows himself capable of considerable
good action. Accepting an invitation of the
elder Blair, y day or two since, We took a seat
In his buggy TO witntss his performance, and
found him a much more speedy traveller than
was expected. He strikes a square, honest
gait, and no urging with the voice or whip,
produces break, and he could, without much
discipline, be got down, we judge, to three
minute gait He does his work handsomely,
and his style is good, He has given some su-
perior specimens of stock, and the pair of bay
four-year-olds. at the Blair stables, spoken of
some time since, are hard toe beat as coach
horses.
The robbery of Mr. SIMEON KEITH, at Cleve-
land, has been alluded TO. The amount taken
had been carefully gathered. under great dis
couragements, land was intended to provide
Tor the wants of u mertorious family, as the
fall and winter approached. The family arc
not only left destitute, but Mr.. Keith has been
brought to Ashtabula, more helpless and feeble
than usual, and as the attention and strength
of Mrs. X. is thus sew, rely taxed, the resources
of the family are entirely cut off. Rooms haye
been secured and an effort is being made for
gathering the means of comfortable house
keeping. Some have already contributed the
more useful articles OF house Keeping but
many more are wanted. A field is, therefore,
offered for donations OF use-keepipg articles,
or money, as may be most convenient, where
it will not only do good, but where il is abso.
luely demanded. Those of our citizens who
have the means and disposition 10 help the
needy and worthy, will not allow their chari-
ties to sumber. Mrs. Keith may he found at
the house of Mr.. MNUTT, on north ridge. II

will reach lis destination without delay.
