A Most Remarkable Case,

The ball struck the elbow joint and went through. It completely crushed all tho arti. culative surface of the humeral so that both condylcs and say four inches of the shaft of the bone were removed by the surgeon. It also severed the ulnar nerve. The operation left the arm much short, encd and timber, but it was very useful. Some time in the fall Of 1879 it commenced 10 swell and in. flame below the elbow, and soon after it suppurated and discharged horribly offensive matter. The bone spread until the entire fore

Since that day the "PSy the Debt" plank has disappeared from the Democratic platforms. The new Democratic Administration set ahe woods a fire, they paid the debt so rapidly after they got con troll of the Treasury.-Arkansas Dispatch.
 On May 22nd the acting sccre tary of the Treasury issued a call for Si00,0O0 of three-per cent. bonds, to be redeemed on July lst, 1886, and interest thereon to cease on that day.
 Gradually and cautiously is the Democratic party taking up the bonds and paying, off that bonded indebtedness. The past struggles of the Democratic party in behalf of the people; its silent fidelity 10 their interests, and it's present conservative policy, are letters of credit showing a big cash capital. Will the people trade it off for the Promise 10 d0' that forms the stock trade of these little fun gus p2r,ies' Bah.

The M%iddlebury REGISTER now for more
than. II year has been giving much original
and valuable information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses. 1t intends to con
tinue publishing such information from week
TO week, giving ut least II page to its Horse
Department. when sufficient material has
accumulated we expect to place ii in book
form, publishing first our volume upon
the Morgan Horse, and a Reg
lister of the more distinguished sires and
performers. In the latter we hope to include
all 2 80 performers, with their breeding, so far
ms can be ascertaincd also to distinguish be-
tween things that are known and things that
arenot known, in every pedigree. In all cas-.
as the evidence upon which the pedigrces are
based will be given to the public through the
columns OF THE MIDDLEBURY REGISTER. This,
we are satisfied, is what the public wants and
ought to have. Many judgments are better
than one.
THE REGISTER by reason of this extensive
mi and this method of giving ii, is
rapidly becoming indispensable to all breed
crs and horscmen. 1t should also be an cX-
cellent medium for advertisers, especially
those dealing in Morgan horses.
Preserve your files, for they will form, with
the full indexes thereto, II most valuable and
available cyclopcdia of horse matters.

%terest, both in showing the new trotters
of promise and the older ones who are
improving in speed, as well as those who
have hopelessly refrigerated and can
never equal their present records. 1t is
also of special interest in the column Of
sires, and is o so long as to give those
who are statistically inclined too much
trouble in figuring out the represents
tives of their favorite stations. 1t has
been somewhat abbreviated by the unus-
ual amount of rain we have had this
season, which has ruined, OF partially
ruined, several important meetings; but
the showing is not as bad as an editorial
article in the Turf, Field and Farm of
last week indicated, a week more of news
improving the outlook. We could figure
then but thirty newcomer to the 2:3O
list, as against fifty at Il corresponding
date in 1885, but this table shows forty
two additions to the list. Blue Bull is
the only sire that has a double number
of these acquisitions to his credit, viz
Myrtella G. and Royal Bounce. This is
subject to the chance of the record being
m~anGuvered off from Myrtella G. mid

ted May 81. asking chow | know Wat
kins' Highlander was sired by Imported
Highlander" etc. is at hand. In reply
| would say | knew the horse and used
to see him often on parade, Oh training
days. He was a horse of uncommon
style and action and was often called in
to service on such days. This must have
been 10 years ago or more, and the men
who knew him then are mostly gone.
At that time and for a long time after |
was greatly interested in horses and
knew the pedigree of nearly every noted
horse in the Northern States. | owned
Pathfinder, sired by David Hills old
Black Hawk, bred by Harrison Bacon of
Barre, Mass. also owned Morgan En-
peror, sired by Bulrush Morgan. |
owned General Stark, which | bought of
Maj. Brown of Bennington, VT; and
several other noted horses. Now my
knowledge of the pedigree of this horse
is gathered from bills advertising many
horses standing for mares at that time
and long after, and from conversation
with many noted horsemen of that time.
Mr.. futile, who raised the dam of Path
finder, is dead, but | have often talked
WIFI nun anu lHls was MS version OF the
matter. Mr.. Jenkins of Oneida, a noted
man on pedigrees of horses in this coun-
ty, but now dead, and | had many talks
over the matter, and in no instance have
| heard the facts as given in my first
letter disputed or even questioned. The
dam of the Watkins horse was known as
d" Nancy Dawson, Il running mare from
Kentucky. Watkins Highlander sired
the sire of Flora Temple. | cannot in
form you who bred the Watkins horse,
but suppose Mr.. W. did. | can think of
but II man who could give you any in
formation on the subject. Mr.. Morgan
Butler of New Hartford in this county
was a friend of Mr.. Watkins and | think
bred colts from his horse, and may know
some members of the Watkins family
who can give you more positive informa-
ton than | am able TO do. | sincerely
