rumor has it that the suspension is only

Waterbury is favored with another horse
case. This new one is where a man paid
$417 80 for his steed. He, NJ. J. Whalon,
went to Canada. bought him a horse,
paid 5000 in hard cash and s. uninflated
greenback. In leaving the Dominion he
valued that horse at sos, and he told the
customs officers SO. They afterwards
thought the horse was better horse than
the owner did and went for him, seized
and sold him at auction. Mr.. Wbalon's
opinion of the horse rose and he paid at
the auction $212.5O, and so ends the lesson.
