THE Subscriber, thankful for past favors would
inform his friends and the public generally,
that his house has undergone some recent improve
ments, and his rooms are fitted up in a neat and
comfortable style for the accommodation of board
ers and transient visiters.
The waters of the une mineral spring, near the
town, and at a short walk from the Hotel, have
been pronounced by some of our most eminent phy
sicians as of the most superior quality for all
those chronic diseases which require the stimula
ting effect of mineral water. And the location it
well caculated in every respect for the comfort and.
enjoyment of the valetudinarian and those who
seek recreation in the country. Several fine streams
are in the neighborhood, which will afford ample
amusement to the angler, and the surrounding
hills .»nd dales abounding with game, present un
surpassed attractions to the lover of the chase.
Every exertion will be used and every facility
rendered to make the stay of the visiter pleasant
and agreeable. CTj' Families will be furnished
with well aired and pleasant private apartments ;
and his arrangements generally authorize him to as
sure the public, that none who arc fond of good or
der and quiet will leave his house dissatisfied. In
short, the subscriber would merely state that if a
desire to please and strict attention to those who
favor him with a visit, will entitle him to the pat
ronage of a liberal public, he has nothing to fear.

TOM TUNSTALL
THIS thorough bred Horse will
vRfiK stand from this time until the first of
July next at the stable in the lower

PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows : —‘ Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
tne sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolel. 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 tear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owin«" to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cbyeb, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a lull
nedurree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” 't he same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus“ Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough
breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemame,
(son of O’Kelle.' ’s Eclipse, and one oi the P«re st
importations of the last century,) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler, great-great-grand
dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-gieat
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-gieat
great-great-grand-dam by imported f earnaught;
great-great-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee s
old Mark Anthony outof a mare by imported Mon
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegree.
