1t Is a medicinal preparation, and, at
the same time, an elegant and clearly toilet
article. Its action upon the scalp Is health
full. 1t nourishes the glands which support
the hair, and causes thin, dry hair to be-
come thick, soft, and vigorous. 1t restores
the color of youth to locks which have
become faded with age or disease; and
relieves and cures itching, caused by
humors Of the scalp. DR.. George Gray,
Nashua, n. H., writes: at gives me
pleasure to testify to the wonderful effects
produced by Halls Vegetable Scilian Hair
Remover, as observed by me in very many
cases. 1T WILL CERTAINLY RESTORE
THE HAIR TO IT'S ORIGINAL COLOR. 1t
cleanses the head of dandruff, and leaves
the hair soft, glossy, and beautiful" F. T.

A weekly newspaper published at
$3.50 per year at Middlebury, Vt.
The circulation of this paper has in
creased so rapidly during the last
few months that we now announce
that at the beginning of the New Year
it will appear in new dress and will
be in all respects thoroughly first
class family paper.
The Horse Department, which was
started one year ago, will be kept up
and enlarged. We intend to give in
this department the most accurate and
comprehe nsive information on the ped
igrees of trotters and trotting sires. 1t
will continue to be devoted to the in
terests of the Morgan Horse, of which
it is now the recognized organ. The
fullest information will be given on all
stations descended in direct male line
from Justin Morgan, which informa-
ton will eventually be published in
book form.

pedigrees, whereby one family has
been built up at the expense of all 9TH

greater extent than is generally sup
posed. 1t will be observed that in all
our work on pedigrees the original let
tiers and sources of information are
given. We believe that once under
stood, this method will be the only sat
isfaetory one to the public. 1t is the
only one that ought to be satisfac-
tory.
PRESERVE YOUR FILES. for they are
worth preserving. Full index for the
Horse and other Departments will be
furnished at the end of each year.
In the New Years issue will begin
the history of the dam of Ethan Allen.
The testimony taken in the search after
this pedigree, together with informa-
ton obtained on other important pedi-
grees, is so full and varied that this ar.
ticle will extend through quite a num-
Der of papers.

BY confusion of manuscripts (the
proof of which we did not see, being in
New Hampshlre) we were made to
double our remarks last week as to the
string of the two mares, dams of Sher-
man Black Hawk and Vermont Hero.
A part of our object in sending new
manuscript was to omit criticism of
the Bellfounder cross in pedigree of
Young lIambletoBian, perceiving that
their might be several Imported Bell
founders, and, indeed, remembering to
have seen something about one being
imported into Canada, so that this ped
igree might be correct.
We hope some of our readers will fur
nish further information of these mares
We should like especially to know the
year that the dam of Vermont Hero
was foaled.

having trotted nineteen races, exclu-
sive of several small meetings in Texas
last spring. OF this number she won
twelve, ran second in six, and fourth
in one, her only losing performance
being her match race against Joe Davis,
leaving her nett earnings in purses

Black Maria, Dam of Young Columbus.

We began to publish information
some weeks ago on this mare coming
from Mr.. Sidney Smith, who at one
time owned her, she having been
owned many years previously by his
brothers, o. and w. Smith. The
Smith brothers raised from her the IA
nous Young Columbus, sire of eleven
trotters with records Of 80 or better,
and Of the dams of seven more in the
same list; also of the sires Phil Sheri-
dan, with nine to the close of last sea-
son, including PHYLLIS (2:17 l-2) and
Adelaide (2:19 SO; Gen. Sherman
with three, Abe Lincoln with one and
Myron Perry with one in the list, be-
sides one or two of the next generation.
Black Maria herself was quite famous
in her day as trotter, having record
of 2:38 to harness and 2:Sl 12 to sad
die. We now give the testimony of
Locklin Wainwright, Esq, one of our
most reliable citizens and member of
the family that for more than seventy
years has stood among the very first in
business and social circles in this vicin-
ity. The information received in this
investigation makes it certain that this
noted mare was not by Harris Hambe-
tonian, to whom Mr.. Wallace, after
hearing from his friend Williams, cred
its her without qualification.
Mr.. Locklin Wainwright states that
he is son of William Wainwright,
and was born in 1918. His father
lived in Salisbury and he lived with
his father until his purchase of the farm
on which he now lives, in the edge OF
MiddleburY, which he bought, as he
states and as appears by the deed, Sept
IS, 1887, of Gideon NJ. Jennings. He
states that the granddam of Black
Maria was brought into Salisbury by 6
man by the name of Dart, who came
from the east side of the mountain
Randolph he thinks, bringing the mare
with him, and bought the farm on Sal
isbury Plains, on which Edward Lenc
now lives lin 1S20,as appears by the re
cords-see letter of town clerk below
That country at the time was all Nor

enough to go to a raising, but not to dc
anything. His father bought the mare
of Mr.. Dart for breeding purposes
soon after Mr.. Dart brought her in
She was some sixteen or seventeen
