PRINCE HAMBLET0N is years old, was
bred by Mr.. Meeker of Wesiport, Conn.
His sire is the famous Winslow horse, other
wise Young Hambletonian, (Wallace's Trot-

Young Hambletonian, who was sold for Sl6,-
600, was sired by Rysdyke's Hambletonian,
the greatest trotting sire known; his dam a
thoroughbred mare by son of Henry. Thus
it will be seen that PRINCE HAMBLETON
combines in choice style the running with
tie trOtting elements. He is a beautiful
brown, full l5 hands in height, weighs
100 pounds and for beauty, style, and do
eility, is unsurpassed by any horse in the
country. Though never specially trained for
the track, yet he made, last fall, over New
Haven Course, a record of 81.
The number of sires per horses trotting in
2 80 during the year 1875 was l62. Not 10
per cent. of these sired more than one per-
former. OF all who sired more than one,
are Hambletonians; of all
who sired more than three, all are Hamble-
and bis son Volun-

How ANNA DICKINSON MAKES LovE.-Anna
Dickinson is failure in the love scenes in
her plays. When the experienced actor sidles
up TO her and reaches his arms around her
rigid waist she grabs him by the wrist aud
holds him off at arms length while he says
his piece, and then, when she reaches the
melting moment, and lowers her head to let
it droop upon bis shoulder, the constrained
action is so like the gesture of venerable
William goat in the act of assisting passing
boy over pasture fence that the audience
gleefnlIy look 10 see the unhappy lover but
ted clear over into the orchestra iddles, and
there is a general murmur of disappointment
when he braces bis feet and receives the droop
Of her head with a scarcely audible grunt-

NIpped In the Bud.

In the country, not thousand miles from
Wilmington, lives a wealthy gentleman whose
only daughter is pretty and sweet seventeen.
Her lover is worthy young man but does
not possess the requisite that makes worth al
tractve-his pockets are not gold lined. She
smiled upon him, however, and he, acting on
the presumption that the stern parent would
not favor his suit, said naught to him but
urged the young lady 10 elope. Her father
played the eaves-dropper and overheard the
conversation in which she consented, and
when she asked permission to leave home to
visit some friends it was graeiously granted
According to the programme the two were TO
meet at the depot in Wilmington, on Friday,
and take the train north, and the programme
was carried out up to certain point. They
met and were about to step on the train.
when the young lady's father stepped up TO
her, politely raised his hat and smiiingly Of
fered bis arm, which the young lady accepted,
while her lover looked on in blank amaze
ment and simply calculated, "Well, I'll be
darned.n
The old gentleman was not at all angry,
and is understood 10 have said that if the
young party had acted like man he might
not have had very serious objections, but be
did object 10 his mode of procedure. The cir
cnmstance is related By one who saws be

has been placed for the year 1877 al 45 cents,
and the assessment as returned by the Levy
Court is very far below that of 1872. hence
the taxes in this county will be considerably
less. than last year. If nothing Unforeseen
