negro is about 35yems of age, 5 feet S or 9 inches
high, quite black, spare made, quick in his move
ments, answers readily and quickly when spoken
to, speaks broken in his dialect, has some signs of
the small pox. I know of no other marks, as I have
owned him but a short time previous to his elope
ment. He is fond of music, and is remarkable for
his expertness in keeping lime with it by means of
two small paddles or sticks, which be uses in one
hand between his lingers.
The above named negro left me in Baldwin conn
county, Ga.,in July, 1837, ana has been seen since
in the lower part of Jones county, and is probably
now lurking about Macon, Augusta, or Charleston,

PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, !
certifies as follows : —‘ Tom 'i unstall was foaled I
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary .and her darn a full-blooded Archie mare;
the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom !
Tunslali 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
old, in traming, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cbyer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” 'i he same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus“ Highland Maiy
combined'as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any m'aic ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
f imported Citizen ; her dam Koscy Carey by Sir
[ Archie ; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
! («on of O’Kelle.’ ’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
1 by the imported horse Wranglengreat-gieat-grand
j dam U’Possum by imported Shark; greal-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-gicat-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
l to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
wid require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
