When a filly her master loaned her to his son, who rode her during four years of the war. She passed, unscathed, through many hard fought battles, and at tbe end of tbe war her gal lant rider beturned her to his father, who has kept her ever since. Al though she is old in years, the spirit of her youth remains, and at the report of a gun or pistol, she will jump into position at once, so strong is tbe habit of early training engrafted upon her “horse knowl edge.” Fruit* of Hunting.
