SAYBROOK.

Sometime in the month ofMarch, some
practical genius gave vent to his feelings
ir one OF the county papers, by sending
this message to the mythical lady who is
supposed to preside over this season of
the year-"Hail, beauteOus spring." With
commendable promptness, when the fact
that the being in question at that time
was at least a thousand miles from this
county, the hail was on hand In three
days from the date of the paper. We
wish the same genius would say some
thing just now abou; the gentle reign Of
spring, for grass and wheat would be
greatly benefited, at this time, BY some
good, ,old-lashioned showers, followed
by warm sunshine, and less critic breez'
es. The season Is cold and backward
and we read of snow eight inches deep in
some places, and that seems little out
OF place SO late in April, but that reliable
gentleman-the Oldest inhabitant-told

the 10Th of April, 1891, when snow fell to
the depth Of ls inches and remained on
the ground for several days. We are apt

Imported Draft Horses.


An importation of ten Clydesdale stall
lions, has been brought from Scotland by
the Powell Brothers, of Spring, Crsw-
ford Co., Pa. They were selected in per-
son by Messrs. Will B. 6 Jas. L. Powell,
of the firm. after three months in gather
ing information about the most popular
breeds of the draft animals of Scotland.
These animals are of the best and most
desirable strains to be found They bear
the marks of their pur ity in their size,
their beauty and faultlessness of line,
their breadth and power of chest and
limbs, and more especially in the peculi-
arity of long, glossy hair that starts from
the knee & gambrel joint & extends to the
hOof, with a fetlock, which in business,
has no comparison in anything we have
ever seen. Such lot of stock, probably,
has never been landed upon our shores.
They were landed in New York in De-
cember last, after an unusually stormy
and boisterous passage, which it was fear
ed they might not survive but their en-
durance was shown by coming out all
right, and followed by an unexpectedly
rapid recovery. They ranged in age
from one to six years, and their
weights were from 1 800 to 1900 pounds.
The object of the importers was to stock
their large farms at Spring, and Syracuse,
New York. All along the road wherever
stop was made, they attracted much at
tention, and were admired by thousands
of horse men. In spirit and endurance,
they exceed all other breeds of draft
horses. At the same time they are &C
knowledged to be more easily and cheap
ly kept than any other horses of equal
weight ani size. Every pound OF their
great weight is put on just in the right
place for strength and power. Being thus
so compactlY built and admirably pro-
portIoned, one hardly realizes their size.
One three year old bay, which would
weigh at the time of shipment about 800
pounds, was intended as a competitor for
the first prize against the noted horse
Prince of Wales, at the great show the
coming summer. Another horse, which
is universally admired, is dark grey two
year old colt, Weighing about 1,6OO-a
stylish, handsome and active trotter. He
was sired by the noted horse Lord lnVe-
rurie, which has for two years in success
sion taken the silver cup in the great
shows of Scotland. All the others have
been bred from similar and equally de-
sirable strains, and selected with great
care. Any of these stations Will be
worth fortune to any community in
which thoy may be located, and are Just
what are demanded in our country at
the present time, for while roadsters and
fast horses have received 50 much atten-
ton, the draft horse of our country has
been decidedly neglected.
Two of these horses-the Duke of Ed
enburg, a bright bay, coming four, weigh,
ing 1900, and Kilbowle, brown, wei gh.
ing 1,6O0-are at the Fisk House stables,
where they have attracted the attention
of large numbers Of horse fapciers and
farmers, who have looked upon them with
deep interest. They will remain but a
few days for inspection, when they will
be taken to the farm at Spring, where one
or both will be kept for propagating pur-
poses Notwithstanding the great proper
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1875-04-30

tlons of these animals, they are symmet-
ricAl in form Of bo dy, limbs and head,
and such shoulders and ribs cannot be
seen but to admire. The Duke has a
walking gait such as we have never seen
for reach and rapid headway. Crossed
with some of the better qualities of our
farm horses, would produce team animals,
such as have never been introduced in
this country.
Onr readers have heard before of the
Powell Farm through our columns. They
show some of the best roadsters that we
have anywhere met with. Their young
stock, the brood mares and the stations
have had the warm approval of several
of our Ashtabuls horse men, and several
of their colts are owned in town. The
best evidence of the value of their stock
is seen, perhaps, in the action of the
colts. This single feature all breeders
notice with much satisfaction. Their
sucking colts show themselves to be nat :
ural trotters in the steadiness and matu-
rty of their gait. They will strike and
hold trot cross the broad fields in which
they are kept, that speaks volumes for
their blood To Messrs. Powell Bros,
to whom the Key Stone State is indebted
for much of her reputation for breedin g
fine horses, IS now due the credit Of the
possession of one of the finest stables of
Clydesdale horses ever collected by one
firm in the United States; distinction of
which they are noronly worthy, but
which should bring them a commensu-
rate return. We say to our readers and
all others interested in fine horseAesh,
go and see the horses yourselves. We
can assure you hearty welcome and ev-
cry attention should you do so, and will
add our guarantee that you will see a
model farm and a variety of superior
stock that no other stock farm within our
reach has attained to, and which will
lead you to feel that you have been rich
ly paid for a visit.

KINGSVHLE,

Ed. TsL-Thus far the energies of our
people haYe been expended in keeping
up their supply of fuel. and escaping the
piuchinG effects of J ack Frost. Their
grace has not been tested with the work
of taking down and putting away, or
moving stoves and putting together pipe.
Josh is often referring to the trying and
testing season, and says if a man gets
through without speaking his sentiments,
and employing surperhuous adjectives,
he will be likely to pass muster. As
warmth and sociabllity go together, the
inference is that our people have been
able 10 keep pretty tolerably comfortable,
for We have had two social, festive gath
erings during the week. That of the
Presbyterian church at Perry Parker's.
and that of the NJ. E. church at ]. E.
Kings. Both of which were well attend
ed, and the revenues quite wholesome.
For mile or two east of our village,
the shade trees, especially in wet weather,
have obstructed the transmission of news
upon the telegraph wires, and from time
to time a corps of trimmers have passed
along and piled their vocation with a
vengeance, as the citizens thought Af-
ter bearing it for sometime, the sufferers
"got upon their ear" and nd9forbade any
further cutting. This was last season.
Unable TO effect compromise, the trim
mers reported to head quarters, which
brought down some Of the Chicago off,
cials. The issue was made between the
fright Of way" granted by the General
Government and the Road and Highway
laws of Ohio. Our folks proved too many
for them. This opened the way for
proposition of compromise. It was 10
the effect that each alternate pole should
occupy opposite sides of the road, thus
avoiding the trees. One man, however,
utterly refusedto allow a pole to be set
on his premises. This project, therefore,
failed. The idea then occurred of tray
erslng the railroad line, but was given
up, as Vanderbilt was a snsg. As a last
resort, a lew evenings ago, another meet
ing was held to consider the plan of run
ming the line by this section on a parallel
and contiguous line to the railroad. This
was thought favorably of, and no objec-
lion arose. The result of the meeting
at D. c. Caughey's-has not transpired.
By expiration of the lease of Messrs.
King & Beebe to the morocco factory, it

Moody and Sankey's revival meetings
in Londo n, are attended by some of the
nobility, and the numbers of the masses
are very large. Their programme Is not
very different from that followed by Mr..
Wells. who labored here some months
since. They depend very much upon
singing. This was prominent feature
in Mr.. Wells cour Sc. The simple Sun
day school hymns were an exercise in
which nearly all participated, and the at
tention was engaged The spirit of de-
votion was caught, and bIooded over the
assembly. The numerous audiences were
thus prepared for listening, and beng
benefited by the preaching. The results
are similar. Many were pricked in their
heart, changed their course fife and
connected themselves with the churches
Many will no doubt date their hopes of
salvation from these meetings, as not O
few did from the meetings ofthe Rev. Mr.
Wells. These English evangelists are
caFped at, of course, and doubts are ex-
pressed about any good results from their
efforts. Such was the case with Mr.
Wells. Some very good church members
were rather severe in denounclng him
Notwithstanding, we are enable to SCI
some who had been habitually dissolut'
and inte mperate, now giving regular at
tentlon to the church and religious du
ties, leading quiet and orderly lives
cleanly and respectable. Such being tbt
results of these labors, should make US
little slow to denounce, or treat with
want of respect. If even few are found
choosing the better way, and showing
evidence of the abandonment of evil hab-
Its, 1t should lead US, If not to encourage
J ct least not 10 condemn.
