HE OLDEST WAR HORSE.
She Wa with the Army or'the Potomac
I'm 1859.

III W.
Mrs. Gaines was captured by a
scouting party belonging 10 the tourth
Michigan volunteers at Gaines MIL
Va. in June. lS6!. Some months later
She became the property of her present
owner, Col. Richard T. Auchmuty, OF
Lcnox, Mass. Mrs. Gaines witnessed
the seven DAYS battle around Rleh-
mond, and was at characteristics
Gettysburg and Bristoe Station she
was in Fort Stevens during Early's at
tack on Washington in 1864, II the
following spring followed Llncolhs
body from the white house to the capt
tol, being in the escortdetaileG to guard
President Johnson's carriage.
After the war She was taken to New
York and then spent a year at Hyde
Park on the Hudson. In 1867 she was
taken to LenoN, where she has since re-
manned, having been ridden by her
owner until two years ago, When her
appearance of age, rather than her lack
OF activity, prevented her use, The
mare has never been in harness, She
occupies a spacious box stall, from
which, after consuming n pail of milk
mixed with oatmeal and bran, she is let
ont every morning. She then walks to
the brook, which crosses the highway
about half a mile distant, and after
taking 4 drink returns to her owners
farm, over which she is allowed to
roam, picking out clover patches, or
nibbling at the young oats and corn,
but doing no serious damage. Toward
evening, or when the weather is threat
ening. she returns to her box stall, and
at night has another pail of milk for
her supper,
Mrs. Gaines was five years old
when she was captured, and is now in
her thirty-siXth year. There are prob
ably few if any horses now living who
were with the Army of the Potomac in
1862. If She is not the oldest war horse
in the country, Col. Auchmuty would
like to hear from others. N Y. Tri-

speculative feeling noted in any market
and dealers do not expect any except itmay
be in certain lines, like delaines and tieeces
which are in light supply Manufacturers

short supply Of leeces mas forced buyers to
take pulled woods more freely. Stocks of
these woods are not above the average, and
pullers report only moderate supplies on
hand Territories are moving slowly at
former prices. A fair trade is noted in
Texas and California woods. Prices Of
Australia woods are very finn, owing TO the

SIR notice q comment passed on

lector because she Is largely Democratic.
Now, stop and look at us In a Republi-
can county. We have to work and work
and sweat and sweat, and get knocked
out every time, and get up and go at it
again; bat you people in Democratic
counties get your pleasure and
reward when the ballots are counted
and fnsS you are victorious. And we
suffer disappointment all the time in
such counties as Marshall. But you
will tiud just as good Democratic work
ers in the defeated counties as there are
in the successful ones, and nothing to
stimulate US TO work for county success.
But we are not asking for any appoint
ment, but would like to have little

Democratic majority. CITIZEN.
