 One of the most remarkable proceedings in any court of law was the application 8 few days ago in Philadelphia by Dr. John De Haven White, once famous all over this country, to have his sons show cause why they should not support him in his old age The Montgomery Lodge of Masons sup. ported the application, and it was shown that the old man, who is A.

Closing Exercises.
Mr.. EDITOR:

The community OF
Grassy Lick was highly entertained
last FridaG by the closing exercises of
Miss Mary Anderson's school. The
patrons and friends showed their APP
probation of the labors of Miss Mary
by coming early TO the examination
aud were gratified to note the i'm
provement the pupils had made du-
ring the past nine months.
AT noon they spread as delightful
and bountiful a dinner as it is seldom
our fortune to enjoy. AT . o'clock we
were called together and entertained
by readings and dialogues which were
well rendered. Among those credit
ably mentioned were The Burial of
Moses, by Miss Marion MADDEN; The
Song of the Shirt; by Miss Goshia
Boyd The Charcoal Man, by Master
Fred Shirley; Master Johnny's Next
DOOR NelghDor, ny Master hoy MOTIFS
Grumble Corner and Thanksgiving

Edith Helps Things Along, by Miss
Nellie Boyd The Smack in School, by
Master James Guilfoylc AuntSylvia's
Geography Lesson, by Miss Lille
Pegs; and Lochnivar, by Master Ar
chic Mason. The smaller pupils did
equally as well as those mentioned,
but space forbids more minute de-
scription.
BY request Miss Anderson favored
us with a reading. The school has
been a success and Miss Mary has
earned the thanks of her patrons for
the faithful work done.

The Mambrino Chief family has
been prominent as one of early ma
turity--in fact, from the time of Ericc-
son, Kentucky Chief, Lady Thorn,
Lady Stout and others, up to the ia
nous campaign of Patron aud CRANKY
as threc-years, this has been the lead
ing family in that respect, notwith-
standing many of the most distin-
guished were very large. 1t has all
along been distinguished as a family
of the greatest endurance, and for
purity of gait has had no equal. Not
a single PAGER among the get of Mann
brine Chief or any of his sons or
daughters, though many of them had
quite a strong pacing inheritance on
the dams side. Until very recently
there have been only two or three
among the get of all the grandsons,
and even the more remote descendants
in the direct male line, but during the
last two or three seasons several new
ones have entered the list, but even to
remote generations PAGERS are here
conspicuous by their absence.
In recent sketch of Rysdyk's
Hambletonian the writer of the arti-
Gle gives some facts in regard TO that
horse that are not generally known
but that are well worthy of wide
publicity. He says that instead of
taking after his sire, Hambetonian
developed strongly in his conforma-
ton the Bellfounder type. His name
and forelock were fine and SPARSE but
his tail full and heavy, in which re-
spect he certainly did not take after
his sire. He had homely head, but
his eyes were beautiful, and the
width between them, where the brain
power lies, was something out of the
ordinary. He had large ears, al
though not coarse ones, and his neck
was short but not heavy. He was a
low horse as to his withers, had good
legs and feet, with short back and
high rump. The propelling power
was immense, the muscles of the hind
quarters extending down nearly to
the hooks and being SO prominent as
almost to resemble fat. In this con-
he followed his dam, at
least so it is asserted by those who
knew the mare.
1t is probably not generally known
that we have in our city horse that
towers above everything in the horse
line in the United States. On Mon
day we visited II. J. IIamlin's stables
in this city, and were shown this
by Mr.. Hamlin, who has
Just realized what an elephant he has.
Not satisfied with the reports we have
heard, we took the rule and meas
lred for ourselves. The horse, a sor-
'el broncho, is unshod, and looks like
ike giant that does not have his
equal in the world. lie measures
nineteen hands high, or six feet four
inches from the floor to his withers.
lie has foreleg of three and one
lalf feet, and in length he measures
thirteen feet from head to base of tail,
II over seventeen feet from tip of nose
o tip of tail. A small broncho at
he barn was brought out and led
lnder the giants belly, and a man,
TX foot high, standing on tip toe, can
ust touch the base Of the ear, with
Iead in natural position. lie is, with
ut doubt, the largest horse in the
gorld.-[Times-Record, Valley City,
