BLACK HAWK AND ETHAN ALLEN.
The noted horses. Black Hawk, 5,
and Ethan Allen, 43, are cases in
point. Much controversy and doubt
have been raised and expressed in
regard u their sires. With the evi-
dence that we have and the fact that
like begets. like" it will be shown
what horses were the most likely to
haya haan thair o;ras
Black Hawk was bred al Durham,
n H., and fealed there in 1888 lie
was kept there. and at Greenland
until the spring of 1888, was then
taken to Haverhill. Mass. and sold
to Brown and rhurston Mr.. Thurs
ton soon became his sole owner. In
Mr.. Thurston's hands at Lowell,
Mass, Black Hawk gained quite q
reputation as trotter, winning a
number of races, and it is said he
never lost one. Mr.. Thurston sold
him in the spring of 1874 to David
Hill.of Bridport, VT. for $500. Mr..
rhurston paid 500 for him.
In Mr.. Hills possession Black
Hawk became the most. noted and
popular sire of his day. The season
of 1850 he had 200 patrons and
several seasons nearly that number.
His last two seasons the p,ice was
800 a season. He died at MIR.
tlilis iu December, 1S56.
When Mr.. 1 lrdrstjn bought Black
Hawk he was told that his sire WAS
Sherman Morean, and II WIS M
called to Mr.. Hill. About lS48 the
claim WAS made that Black Hawk 8
sire was not Sherman Murgan, but a
horse called Paddy thai Mr.. Bellows
had with Sherman; that Black Hawk
was sired by Paddy. Mr.. Believe
books showed that Black Hawks
dam was bred to Sherman May Ia,
1882, but it was claimed that she
was afterwards bred 10 Paddy and

That through the dark ravine flows on
Till it finds the suns bright beam.

OF my own pure mountain air,
And lay me down on the fowery turf
In the dim old forest there.

That the birds sang to me them

For my path is in the strangers land,
And though may love full well
Their grand. old trees and their fowery meads,
Yet pine for thee, sweet dell.
I've sat in the homes of the proud and great
I've gazed on the artists PRIDE
Yet never pencil has painted thee, n
Thou rill of the mountain side
And though bright and fair may be other lands
And as true their friends and free,
Yet my spirit will ever fondly turn,
Green Mountain Home, to thee.

NAMING OF PENNSYLVANIA
William ~Blathwayt, Commissioner OF
Plantations, Suggested II Be
Called After the Quaker.

When William Penn was asked by
Charles II. to name the new colony
over the sea he proposed the name
of the queen. william Blathwayt, the
commissioner Of plantations, bluntly
negatived the proposal in the pres
ence OF the court, and suggested the
Quaker's own name as the proper one
for the vast territory that owed It's
colonization and development to him
The king was not offended, but sided
with Blathwayt. and Penn himself
was grvatly battered by the compli-
ment. Several letters on the subject
were written by him to Blathwayt.
These letters were carefully pre-
served by Blathwayt's descendants,
and being recently put up at auction
with the original draft by Charles II.
of Pennsylvania to Penn. brought
nearly 5000.
The family name OF Blathwayt be-
came extinct through the marriage OF
the sole son OF the line to a wealthy
Miss Winter. who restored the fallen
fortunes of the Blathwayts on condi-
ton that her husband adopted the
name OF Winter. One of the Winters
accompanied Sir Francis Drake
around the world as his vice-admiral.
and another OF the family was a vice
admiral under Drake when he des-
troyed the Armada.

the lion, the lioness and the big Loop

nifty. The leopard picked 1t up in her
huge paw, took long and ecstatic
snifYs and rolled over and over upon
It in the exuberance Of her delight.
In her efforts to apply 1t to the upper
part OF her head she performed aero
batic feats of an astonishing kind.
From his experiment the investigator
was satisfied that love OF catnip ia
not confined to the domestic branch
Of the cat family.
