ETHAN ALLEN 2p.--ur. Editor -
Last week, we paid visit to the stables
of Henry Dclong, Esq. The noted Stal
lion, Ethan Allen is in fine condition, fat
and sleek he never looked or appeared
better, though wintcred entirely without
grain,
Mr.. belong is in almost daily receipt
of letters from parties at distance, many
Of them out of the State, engaging the
services of this valuable stock gcttcr.
"Ethan" has doubtless sired more fast
trottcrs than any other Stallion in the
State.
"Nancy Allen" owned by Col, Stowcll,
for which he has been offered $4,000.
"lIonesty" owned by Henry Sollace. Esq
of Bridport, for which he has refused
$4,000 repeatedly.
The "Black Colt three years old own
cd by Mcssrs. Sollacc and Huntlcy, adj
mitted to be the fastest trottcr of his age
in the State.

1t is noted fact, that seven out of
eight Of his colts, raised in Westport, n.
y, proved to be trottcrs. Also fourteen
out of seventeen raised in Burlington,
when four years old, trotted in three min
utes and under, and were purchased as
handsome prices. Let farmers rcmem-
Der these facts and raise no more scrubs.
WEYBRIDGE-A man named Wheeler
from Starksboro attempted to cross the
Beaver brook north of Mr.. Francis Ayers
where the water had overlooked the road
He remained in his wagon until the wa
ter had reached his arms, when he left
for the railing on the bridge. He sue
ceedcd in obtaining a seat thereon, where
he had the satisfaction of seeing his horse
drown His cries for help were soon an
swored, and he was taken off by some
boys from the village who had been down
the river hunting. He was nearly frozen,
aud could have retained his scat but 4
short time and must have drowned, as he
could not swim. 1t is hoped that the
town authority of New Haven will do in
this matter as they would be done by and
it will bring to their minds the old lesson
that "A fence in time will often save a
horse"

SALIsDuRY.-lIr. Editor The term
of fourteen weeks school, in District No.
l, West Salisbury closed the 2lst Of
March. The school numbered thirty-two
scholars. The record showed an average
attendance Of twenty-iour for the whole
seventy days. Taking into consideration
the fact that the roads have been many
days almost impossible, and many of the
scholars have more than mile to walk !;
we think this record cannot be cqualed
by any school in town.
The record showed twelve pupils with
out tardy mark, and several more who
did not have more than two or three dur.
ing the term. The following is list of
pupils who deserve honorable mention, for
niiorm good behavior and proficiency it
