Where to See the Great Trotters of N. Y.

No two men in America have had more expert
ence with fine trotting stock, and none are better
Judges than Calvin NJ. Priest, of the New York
Club Stables, 2Sth street. near Fifth avenue, and
Dan Mace, of the Excelsior Stables, West 29th
street, New York, the champion dOuble-team driver
of the United States. Both of these gentlemen
say, that for painful ailments in horses, such as
cuts, bruises, swellings lameness, stiffness, st.
Jacobs Oil is superior to anything they have ever
used or heard of. This is also the opinion of Prof.
David Robarge, the celebrated horse-shOer of the
mstrapolis and Thousands ofstoek oEpsrs through
out the country. AS pain-cure for man and
beast st. Jacobs Oil has no equal. Mt:Priest re-
cites the case of valuable trotter, so stiff from
rheumatism, that he could not move an inch. By
one, thorough application of st. Jacobs Oil at
night, the animal was completely cured, and was
fit for the race track the next day.

An instantaneous Light.

Boston Transcript, Dec. 3Oth.
Such in word is the unique apparatus on ex
hbtion at the of the Portable Electric Light
Company, % Water Street. 1t occupies the space
of only FIVE square inches and weighs but five
pounds and can be carried with ease. The light,
or more properly lighter requires no extra power,
wires or connections, and is so constructed that
any part can be replaced at small cost. The chem
icals are placed in glass retOrt; a carbon and
zinc apparatus, with spiral platinum attachment,
is then adjusted so as to form a battery, and the
light is ready. The pressure on little knob pro-
duces an electric current by which the spiral Of
platinum is heated to ineandescence. The Portable
Electric Light Company was recently incorporated
with a capital of 100000, under the laws Of Mas
sachusetts. Some of the prominent business men
of the State are identified with this enterprise In
addition to its use as a lighter, the apparatus can
also be used in connection with burglar alarm
and galvanic battery.

Polled Cattle.-The term "polled cattle

Polled Cattle.-The term "polled cattle is
applied to those breeds of cattle which are horn
less. 1t is, however, among the cattle breeders
of to day more particularly applied to the Gallo
way and the Angus, or Aberdeen breeds. The
Galloways, which take their name from locality
in Scotland where they have been raised for cen
turtles, were not assigned to separate CLASSES until
1867. They were first brought into the United
States by the Michigan State Agricultural So
ciety in 1865, and several herds are now held in
that State, raised from this stock. In 1870 they
introduced into Wisconsin, and year later
Robert Culver of Boulder county, Col, brought
q pair into that State from Canada, full booded
descendants of imported cattle of the purest
blood. There has been a constant advance in the
price of polled cattle since their introduction,
until at the breeders sales in 1882 they excelled
all others, the Herefords and Short Horns not
excepted.

This time at the M. E. church. where, on Tuesday

tials of Mr.. Harry Shipley, of Texas, Baltimore
county, and Miss Dora Shipley, of New Windsor.
Long before the arrival of the wedding party the
church was filled with the beauty and elite of the
neighborhood. Rev. Howard Downs, who presi-
ded at the organ, played a beautiful wedding
march as the happy couple entered the church and
proceeded to the altar, where the ceremony was

J. J. Barlow to Hopkins avenue Pertinent

Circuit Court.-The case of James R. Bull
ct al. VS.. Joseph Hoshall and others, exceptions
to ratification of sale made by the trustee, allow
ing inadequacy of price and that the decree under
which the property was sold was illegally OBJ
tanned, was argued in the Circuit Court here on
Saturday and held under consideration by the
court.
In the equity case of Amos Schultz ct al. VS..
VIM. H. Sanders ct al, the exceptions filed to the
Auditors account were sustained, and the case re-
manded to the Auditor to state another account.
In this case, one, F. A. ChiIcoate, it seems, had
sold certain property to Sanders, but made out
the deed to Sanders wife. Sanders creditors
filed bill in equity to have the deed set aside,
which was done. In the meantime Sanders him
self confessed a judgment in favor of his father
in-law IF. A. Chilcoate's father for considera-
BILE sum, which judgment was assigned to third
party. No considerations, it seems, have passed
in either case. The Auditor, in his account, al
lowed this judgment which was excepted to, as
stated, and the exceptions sustained.

Communication was received from Montgomery
County Grange, asking the cooperation Of all
