A few days ago ! visited my friend, Mr..
Joseph Risser, of West Donegal, and he took
great pleasure in showing me his young colt,
a beautiful bright bay of good size and noble
form. While trotting around the lot he
showed very fine action. He is quito trot-
ter. This colt was sired by Col. Tom Scott
out of fine large mare of very good breed
and action, and Mr.. Riser thinks he is the
very best in the state. 1t may b9 so, but in
speaking of it / find other patrons of Mr.
Sutton's famous sire lay claim To the same
distinction. Therefore, would suggest that
all those people who have good stock, exhibit
them this fall at the coming county fair, and
then receive proper credit for their pains
taking in breeding good stock. Il.

MUGWUMP newspapers are pleased to ex-
press qualification over the fact that the Re-
publican press shows no disposition to drag up
dead controversies in commenting upon Mr..
Hendricks, but, on the contrary, treats the
memory of the departed adversary with kind
ness and courtesy. When it is remembered
that the worst abuse heaped upon the late
Vice-president during and since the last cam
paign was that found in the columns of the
mugwump papers, and that partisan" dislike
found no such bitter expression, the brazen
efrontery of comments of the sort mentioned
can better be appreciated.

that Shaler would waive examination. The bail

anything to say to the charge, the General
wrote: Under advice of my counsel, reserve
whatever have to say until my trial, except to
emphatically declare my innocence"
