The Dam of AIexander's AbdalIah.

In 1879 | was employed by Gen. w.
L. Withers of Falrlawn, Col. Brodhead
of WOODBURY. Farm, Kentucky, and
Gen. W. ;. Tilton of Maine, to investi-
gate the pedigree of Katy Darling dam
of AleXander's Abdallah. After con-
siderable time spent in getting start
ing point | learned that Mr.. Stephen
Odell, who at the time kept hotel in
Westchester county, sold the mare, af-
forwards called Katy Darling, to Mr..
Sutton OF Orange county. found him
at East Farms, keeping the same hotel.
My first interview with him exploded
the old tradition that she was ever a
mate to Mindham Maid or ever trotted
a race with her, or was hurt on the
Third avenue railroad track. Mr..
Odell stated that his brother Joseph,
deceased, and John Lightbody deceased,
came with Sutton at the time he parted
with the mare TO sutton, and that he
took in exchange for her black geld
ing.
On my reporting this statement to
Mr.. Wallace, he wrote to Mr.. SUIT
ton, who replied that it was a
fact, which he had forgotten, that
he gave black gelding for Katy
Darling, also stating that some of
his neighbors knew this to be fact.
MIR. Odell further states that Mr..
Thomas A. Ronalds, then of New Ro-
chelle, a cousin to Messrs. p. and G.
LOrllard, had bought the season before
the sale to Sutton span of bay mares
about 10 IL hands, of which the one
he had was the off mare. Both mares
could show 2;50 gait at the time Ron
aids had them.
Thomas Ronalds and brother, Viii
liam, the fall before the sale to Sutton,
drove the team up near Hartford,
Conn.,, on visit while on their way
home. Between New Haven and New
Rochelle, the of mare stepped on some
sharp substance, supposed to be the
stump of small sapling that had been
cut of close to the ground at a sharp
angle, and which penetrated so far into
the foot at the point of the frog that she
had to be left there, and this accident
alone gave to the country the famous
AleXander's Abdallah. Odell further
states that Ronalds had a veterinary
surgeon from New York 60 to see her,
aud who pronunced her ruined. He is

Mr.. BiSSelI's Purchase.

f. n. Bissell, Esq, of East Shore
ham has Just returned from trip TO
the West, having attended the meeting
of the National Wool Growers' asoocia-
ton at ST. Louis. lie brings with him
three head of pure Galloway cattle
two heiters one and two years old and
bull one year old last January. This
is a matter that has been in contem-
plation by Mr.. Bissell for a number of
years, and one to which he has given a
good deal of thought and Investigated
very thoroughly. These cattle are a
black Scotch breed, without horns.
Their leading good qualities consist in
their great uniformity, great hardness
and the very superior quality of their
beef, which always sells for at least two
cents our money per pound over the
beef cattle of any other breed in the
leading English markets. These cattle
are bred in very large herds in wild
state in Scotland and also to some eX-
tent in some Of the northern counties
of England tor many centuries, SO long
in fact that their origin has been lost in
antiquity. So prepotent is their blood
that cross of the Galloway blood on
any other breed of cattle always pro-
duces a black offspring without horns,
and it has been found impossible to
improve the breed by crossing with
any other, the only way possible to i'm
prove them being by careful selections
within the breed. While the chief mer-
its claimed for the Galloways are their
hardness, prepotency and the profit.
able production of beef of the very
highest quality, they are claimed to be
fair mixers and to give milk of the
richest quality, superior on this point
to any other beef.prOducing breed,
The cattle brought by Mr.. Bissell
were purchased from The herds of II. b.
Carus of st. Johns, Clinton Co., Mich.
They were all sired by Sam of Carries
ton Goo Galloway Herd Book, bull
that was bred by the Earl of Galloway,
Charleston, Scotland, and imported by
Tkos. G. McCrae of Guelph, Canada.
The young bull is named Sir George

One of the heifers is named Topsy Sd
{6S3); her dam, Topsy (3G9). The
other heifer is named Rosy Mcneil I'd.
Her dam is Rosy Mcneil (3lj). All
these dams trace directly to imported
stock on the sides OF both sires and
dams and are so recorded in the Amer
lcan Galloway Herd Book.
Mr.. Bissell also brought calf bred
from the same bull and a pure bred

OF the army of the Potomac and carried

When Secretary Stanton heard of the
loss of the cattle he wanted somebody
scalp and telegraphed: "Who is re.
sponslble for the loss of the cattle
