The Dam of Ethan Allen.

The April number of Wallace's
Monthly has an excellent article upon
the trofting stallion Ethan Allen, his
history and performances, and some
very just and timely remarks in regard
to his pedigree. Mr.. Wallace Is very
anxious to learn more of the history and
pedigree of the dam of Ethan Allen, and
asks the local papers of western YER
mont TO assist him in clearing up the
mystery of the origin of this mare. We
accordingly reprint so much of the arti-
Gle as relates TO this matter, and hope
other papers In Vermont will copy, and
If any one should read the article who
can give any light upon the subject, they
win communicate the same TO us or to
Mr.. Wallace.
Notwithstanding all that has been
written about this little flea-bitten grey
mare, l do not remember that any one
has attempted to give a single item ii
her history that might lead to the trac
ing and determining of her origin
From information that comes to mi
from sources that are direct and relia
BILE, there were two brothers, Rufus ant
Horace Rising, engaged in the manu-
facture Of wooden bowls and othe
wooden ware, at Ticonderoga, New
York. Rufus lived on farm at Hague
Warren county,N. and furnished tn
timber, rafting IL down Lake George Il
Ticonder0ga, while Horace attended
personally 10 the manufacture. Ruff
also devoted good portion of his linn
to the mercantile part OF the business
and travelled extensively, making sale
in the district within, say forty miles

embracing o section along the western
base of The Green Mountains i'm Yer
mont. On one of these trips he brought
home with him the little grey mare, that
afterwards became famous as the dam
of Ethan Allen.
MIR. Rising has been dead some years,
and Il Is not known where he got this
mare. but there is tradition that he got
her in Vermont; and rs she came from
the region where the Freeman Messen-
ger had been standing for number of
years. the theory that she was by that
horse took its rise from that supposed
circumstance. Whether Mr.. Rising
traded his wares or another horse Tor
the mare, is not now known.
Mr.. Rising. after some time, sold the
mare to George johnson of Hague, and
he to Warren Cook of the same place.
Upon the death of Mr.. Cook, the mare
passed into the hands of Mr.. William
IT. Cook, then and now of Ticonderoga
n. Y. Mr.. Cook sold her to Mr.
George Weed of Ticonderoga, and
Weed sold her, in the winter or spring
of 1S45 to Joel W. IIolcomb, and that
spring he sent her to be bred to Black
Hawk.
There is no tangible evidence upon
which the claim, that she was by the
Freeman horse, can rest: and whatever
mans belief on this subject may be, i
will not do to endorse amere probabili
ty as an established fact. The chances
of tracing and determining the origin o
this mare arc not all exhausted, by an!
means; and ii may be accepted as The
echo of the wishes of a thousand mel
all over this country, that the friends il
Vermont would stir themselves ant
make an unfinching effort to settle it
The death of Mr.. Rising cuts of all hop,
of commencing the trace at that end o
the line but there were two parties t.
this transaction, and somebody sold o
traded that mare to Rising. Now tn
point is, who was that man? We vii
suggest to our readers in the regioi
where Rising travelled, that card o
enquiry be inserted in every newspape
''for the man who let Rising have thi
mare" To use the local press for thi
purpose is the most promising channel
for il is altogether probable the party o
parties in possession of this knowledg
are not in the habit of reading horse pa
pers.
