in novelty to the first one they
gave here, and the audience as a whole
greatly enjoyed it. The quality of
tone and harmony as they sung togetli-
er some of their pathetic melodies was
at times exceedingly touching. A very
large audience greeted them and
showed every manifestation of apprO-
val. ..

A FINE STALLION

On our streets attracted the attention
OF all lovers OF that noble class of ami
mails who stood on Main street Satur-
day last. He was the property of S.
Stiers, who has lately arrived fronl
Kansas. Petros possesses such an ad.
mixture of the very best draft blood
that was ever imported to the United
States; that as sire he can not fail to
give satisfaction. 1t is a well known
fact that like begets Ike" and it GER
tainly must in this case, for there is no
scrub blood to revert to in Petrcs' ped-
igree, hence his predominence is sure
to show in his colts from mares that
have any good draft blood, be it ever
so little, in their make up. BY 4 cross
of The ordinary farm mares OF our
country to this stallion, tie value OF
the produce will be increased at least
from $50 TO $lG0 at training age. Pc
tros is remarked by many who have
seen him to be the best draft stallion
ever shown in Logah, being very
heavy boned and very symmetrical, in
TACT. III individual qualities he is next
to faultless, and in lineage for practic-
al purpo Sc, can not be excelled. He
commences with pure Norman mare
bred to Dunhams Imp. Success, whose
produce bred TO Napolean, Imported

duced Petros. Caine, the sire of Pc

colts rs any stallion that ever stood in
the West. He is a tremendous size,
having weighed POO ibs, and stands
upwards Of l8 hands high, though now
perhaps over 20 years old, he success
fully serves upwards OF 100 mares per
year. proving su-er than most of the
stations about him. Petros, We under
