The Mirror and Farmer had a
special reporter at our recent State
Fair. In the issue of Sept. Esd he
speaks of Mr.. Hendee's colt as follows:
"a very attractive stallion is Glen
Allan, four years of age, the property
of Hon. @. w. Hendee, MorrisviIIe.
His sire is Ben Franklin, the dam by
David Hill, by Hills Black Hawk. A
handsome black in color, compactly
put together, with a gait that shows
the colt is obliged to trot fast. 1t was
but natural that the committee should
give him the blue insignia of rank"

Messrs. Editors:
In your issue of last week your re-
marks in regard to the w. c. L. L. in
with Mrs. LivermOre's lee
ture. were somewhat misleading. The
w. c.. L. U. had no correspondence with
any parties, and nothing officially to do
about getting Mrs. LivermOre here. That
was done by the citizens outside OF
the w. C. L. u, which was all right, and
a commendable thing to do. But why
the members of that organization should
be drought to trial. on account of alb
sence. more than the rest of the commu-
nifty it doth not appear. 1t was found on
inquiry that several OF them did not know
of the lecture until too late. Sickness
detained others, which they thought a
reasonable excuse. However, they think
1t quite encouraging that for once they
were ofconsequenee enough so that their
absence was noted.-PRRs. w. G. /. u.
