His dam was High land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; trie sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleC Tom Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States.— He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year aid, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har py Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Mary combined as many or more rich crosses of tborougn breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Kosey Carey by Sir Archie ; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, (son of O’Kelle; ’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century;) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangier; great-great-grand dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great great-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught; . great-great-great-great-great-grand dam by Lee’s old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary ’ to trace beyond Blr Archie. It is presumed none wifi require a purer or better attestel pedegree! If farther recommendation be wanted, call and see Tom WILLIAM HOLMES. AgcM. feb 22—trw&wtf A / WkfißLS.

The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases ot every form and description. Their - first operaiion is to loosen from the coats of the • stomach and bowels, the various impurities and • crudities eon tamly settling around them ; ana to • remove the hardened faeces which collect in the . convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other m-dicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected mav-ea behind as to produce habitu al cosliveness with li its train ofevils. or in a sud ; den diarrhoea, with its eminent Jangers.
