Hungerford, GaylOrdsville. "Oxford Chiefs" splen- did record during the fall camp aign of 1892 has placed him in the front rank of the trotting stallions of Western New England. At the Duchess county fair, Poughkeepsie, last fall, he won the 2,2S race in 2.24 and at the breeders meeting in the same city he trotted against his record two heats in 2.23 and 222 1-2, the latter being his present record. His own CT feels justly proud of him, but to everybody's surprise he has decided to offer him at the usual terms asked for or dinary horses which is without doubt the lowest any horse of his record, breeding and individual qualities, has ever been offered.

WASHINGTON.
THE EDITOR SNOW BOUND.


 The young blizzard of last Friday made tough travelling for everyone, but none found it more severe than the edi- tor of THE BEE, who was on customa- ry trip about the county. The comfort and cheer of the Frisbie homestead, in Washington, which he reached on the evening of the day OF question, soon made him forget the hardships of the day This homestead in question is To- cated off the regular travelled route be- tween Washington and Roxbury, where reside Henry k. Frsbie aud family, with his father Frederick A. Frisbie, now a venerable gentleman of S2 years nearly. This branch of the Frisbie family came from Branford, Ct., and on this place the Frisbies have resided for genera tlons. Frederick A. Frisbie's grandfath- CT was Edward Frisbie and his father also bore the same name. The house where the original Frisbies lived, was located some hundred feet south on the same road. When the town line was surveyed, it was found that the line ran in the center of the house, which may have have been the reason, why he af- terward built on Washington soil. The Frisbie farm in question consists of about 100 acres, and Is we'll cared for by Henry k. Frisbie. The latter devotes his attention to butter farming, being one of the few farmers in town to follow this branch. The house they occupy is a large, modern dwelling, built along in the seventies. It has broad piazzas and Is roomy and convenient. Mir Frisbie the elder Is full of "reminiscences of the old days. He readily recalls his expe- riences in the old school house, which stood near Levi Smiths, built of hewn logs with an old-fashioned fireplace. He says he has voted at every presidential election since 1882. Mir Frisbie still en- joys good health, and enjoys nothing more than to find good listener to re- hearse the glories of the old days. Mrs Frisbie, his wife, also enjoys good health and informally celebrated her 72d birthday on the day of the editors visit. Her skill in needle work and the like is evidently as good as in younger days, judging by the samples of quilts and oth- CT work shown. Henry k. Frisbe has quite a valuable collection of old alman- acs and quite museum of relics of va rious kinds. Mir Frisbie is active in Ma sonic circles, being secretary of Rising Star lodge. Frederick A. Frisbie has three sons, Henry E., Frederick S., of Brooktield and Watson Frisbe of Wood bury. He also has l2 grandchildren. It is certain that the writer will cherish many pleasant memories of his visit,
