SToN EWALL JACKsoN's "OLD SOR-
REL. "-One of the attractions of the
Maryland State Fair at Hagerstown
will, it is said, be Gen. Stonewall
Jackson's famous war horse, popular
ly known as "Old Sorrell," which he
was riding when killed at Chancellors-
vile. He is small sorrell, and was
purchased by General Jackson from
his owner, a man from Ohio, at Har-
per's Ferry. He was one of a train
load of horses intercepted on their
way to the Union army by General
Jackson's force. Jackson paid for him
in gold, and the horse afterwards be-
came a familiar in the Confederate
army. He was noted, to quote the
words of Rev. James p. Smith, at
the Confederate union at Frederirks-
burg, Va, on Thursday last. for his
long, lubberly gait" which enabled
him to get over the ground more
rapidly than many more progresses
ing looking steeds. He is now about
thirty-four years old, and is kept at
the Virginia Military Institute. His
custodian, Major HI. S. Locker, quar-
termaster of the Institute, has con-
sented, it is understood, at the re-
quest of Colonel HI. Kyd Douglas, of
HagerstOwn, who was member of
Gen. Jackson's staff, to bring the horse
to the State fair in order that he may
be placed on exhibition.

ment made no money but did hard
work, Mr.. j HI. Gettinger spending

some sixty years old climbed over
the fence, while it seems others were
bent on plumber. These are shames
and outrages that one could hardly
think possible-real down frauds and
thefts that the management hereafter
should prosecute as they would COM
mon criminals.
