BROKE loose, on Friday, the 3d of
Broad street, Augusta, Ga., a
chesnut sorrel HORSE, with a notable
blaze in his face. Ihe white does not run down
straight in the usual way, but is very much in
clined to the 1 ft; with a long thick tail. He had
on a new snaffle bridle, with long stout reins • a
good saddle, with a daik blanket. Any pers'on
taking up said Horse, will be suitably rewarded by
leaving him at Mr. ALMOND’S Stable. J

This thorough bred Horse will stand
from this time until the first of July

Augusta, formerly occupied by Bertrand, Jr.
Terms —$30 the season, payable at the last visit;
for three or mi re mares, owned by the same per
son, $25 each : $1 for the groom.
PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows :—‘Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1 S3l. His dam was High
land Mary and her darn a full-blooded Archie mare;
tne sire of Highland Mary was old PacoleL Tom
Tunstall was sired by o!d 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 training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of "Torn Tunstall.” The same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus : —“ Highland Maiy
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorougn
breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Roscy Carey by Sir
Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kcllcy’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand
dam O’Possum by r imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
grcal-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
great-gi cat-great-great-great-grand-dam by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony outof a mare by r imported Mou
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace bey’ond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!—
