another story that shows an inter

perhaps one not seen at all in

with the problem of disabled horses.
Parts of this newspaper story read
as follows
"On Friday last, drove of about
four hundred disabled horses were
driven through town on their way
from the corral here to that at Gies-
boro, below Washington. They are
part of the wornout stock con
stantly arriving and accommodating
from Gen. Sheridan's Army. Many
of these animals, through the care
and treatment of the veterinary sur
geons, are restored from time to
time TO the service and are valued
more highly than fresh ones, as their
previous use has prepared them fol-
their work"

the large number of horses that are
killed or die from their wounds.

Another old paper, number of
years after the close of the Civil
War; the "Hagerstown Mail" of
April S, 1878, gives us the following
bit of information about small
part of the Long Meadows estate,
which has been mentioned often in
these columns:
"a very valuable farm changed
hands. Mr.. John T. Worthington
purchased from Mr. Jonathan
Schindel, a farm containing 1877
acres on Long Meadows. The pur-
chase price was $11,00000. The
farm is one Of the first-class farms of
Washington County, three miles from
Hagerstown, having on IL a stone
house now (1878) in good order,
which was built, according to an in
scription upon a stone in the wall,
in 1850. b"
There is not enough information
in this note to determine just which
part of the estate this was, nor
whether the house is still standing
today.
