most needs for it is fact none could
equal Hiram Smith in nursing and taking
care of a horse. Another reason why
he would have been source of profit is
the horse had just begun to be appreca-
ted, and would as we think in Hiram
Smiths hands have served mares for five
years, and for three of those years would
have been patronized at the snug sum of
$500 as the price of service. AS it was,
Edmond Seeley owned him, and the horse
soon began to manifest he had lost Il
friend. Uncle Edmond, with all his
good social qualities, was poor owner
for horse, and especially for horse of
this horses age. However, in the spring
of 1859 American Star stood for service
at his owners stable in Goshen, at S25 to
insure, and served Il mares and got -
colts. In the spring of 1850 he again
stood in the same stable but with all of
Uncle Edmond's ingenuity in digging
pits for mares to stand in, he failed to
serve a quarter of the mares offered, yet
he got ten colts, at S25. The same fall
Uncle Edmond gave him away to Theo-
dore Dusenbury, who took him on the

died. His last set were foaled In 1861 Ct,
and we simply mention this from the fact
that many are offering to sell Star mares
] n,,l no IL,
ceived, we all state that Uncle Edmond
owned and had colt sired by Star called
"Sir Henry" who made the same season
at the same stable, but at a much less
price for service. This may be substan-
tiated by any one calling on John Smith
in Goshen, who holds the books of the
ten years service under Uncle Edmond
Seeley, and eight years of the time his
father, Hiram Smith, being IA partner.
American Star passed through many
hands, was generally neglected and i'll
treated, trotted in his day many races,
principally on the road or ice, conse-
quently left no very fast record. No
horse ever lived that more certainly
stamped upon his offspring his own char
acteristics of gait, disposition and bot
tom than did American Star. OF his get
you will find large percentage mares,
and many of them may be found on the

they may be, for they are the mothers of

with Her irish Husband.
A special despatch from New York
says: Mr.. Frank Work, the millionaire
stock broker of this city, said to-day,
concerning the report that his daughter,
the beautiful Mrs Burke Roche, intended
to apply for a divorce from her husband
in Delaware:
my daughter Fanny was but 90 when,
in 1850, she met James Boothby Burke
Roche abroad. Like too many American
girls. she was ambitious to make a
European marriage. I did all that
could TO dissuade her, but she was bent
upon marrying Burke-Roche. The we'd
ding took place, and-well ] couldn't
make money fast enough to keep my
daughters husband going. Fanny stood
it as long as she could, longer than
would have stood 1t. She lived with HIM
six years, and then she came home,
bringing her children.
She has been keeping house with her
| children in Wilmington these three
months visiting me here every few days
But it is not true that she intends to imi
| tate Mrs Cornelia Van Auken and apply
to the Delaware Legislature for diyorc,
from her husband.
'erhe laws of Delaware grant a wife al
absolute divorce for cruelty, desertion
abandonment, non-support and hal
dozen other things, which could be easil,
proven against Burke Roche, and do no
say that my daughter does not intend t,
ask the courts of Delaware in the regu-
lar way to relieve her of her husband.
James BoothbY Burke-Roche is
| brother of Baron Fermoy, an Irish peer
belonging to one of the oldest families
He and his wife lived ia London for
