His owner, Mr.. pikinton, is young
gentleman OF means. with decided fancy
for farming and stock-raising who does
not conhne himself strictly to the pro-
duction Of either the thoroughbred or
trotting horse. his aim being TO turn out
a high class Of road and carriage horses.

Orion, was kept in this section for a
number Of years by W. Roane Ruiiin,
Esq, OF Port Walthall. Chesterfield coun-
ty. and taken by his subsequent owner
Dr. W. r. Adamson. OF Bon Air, also in
Chesterfield county, where he came to his
end about three years ago. The circum-
stances OF his death not being generally
known, Il may prove interesting 10 the
readers OF The Times TO learn more OF
that fine stations death. While owned by
Dr. Adamson the horse was running loose
In q paddock, and IN the adjoining barn
yard was a Shetland pony stallion, a
typical specimen OF his race carrying
stout body on short legs. with "a shaggy
coat OF gray-a little fellow, II Is true
but very loud as the sequel proved. The
two stations on perceiyinG each other al
once made battle, biting and striking
over the fence. This state OF affairs con-
tinued for some minutes. when the Shet-
land, becoming thoroughly enraged, reared
up and. reaching his head over the
wooden partition. caught the thoroughbred
near the flank and kept his hold IKE grim
death. The big stallion. becoming mad
dened with pain, In his desperate efforts
to free himself from his game little an
tagonist, dragged the latter over the
fence. who only reiinquished his hold
when forced to do so by the timely ar
stations again came together, and Bren-
nan. being tied up in a stall, the diminu-
tive gray, who had gotten loose, made
for the formers quarters, who, being
unable to get at the Shetland, was ter
rlblv lacerated by the fierce little brute,
and as he had already begun TO weaken
under the weight Of years, the physlcdi
ability 10 sustain such injuries was lacK-
ing. and thus passed away superb
