' CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
AVftLST i.
Wednesday Evening May 10, 1573.
QjT We have changed the day of the publica
tion of our weekly paper from Friday lo Thurs
day, in order to enable as to get our papers in the
up-country mail, which closes at six o’clock, P.
M. on Thursday. In consequence of this change
our weekly paper this week will contain a less
quantity of reading matter.
We call the attention of our advertising
friends to the following sensible remarks from
the Columbus Sentinel. Like the patrons of
that paper, wo do believe that our friends write
names worse than any thing else, often leaving
us to guess, when the chance of guessing wrong
is at least equal to guessing right.
“Apropos of Sheiilfs, Sales and Cleiks, notices.
We are frequently complained lo by them on ac
count of errors in names. We have now a letter
before us from one of these officers, in which he
says, “you will please be more particular in ad
vertising my sales, as you have made some mis
takes, and caused me lo postpone in consequence;
in'my last advcitisement you will find one, in
stead of Greenville insert Granville, ” &c. Ve
ry sorry that any mistakes should occur from
any cause, and we venture to assert that few offi
ces lake m >rc pains to avoid them than we do.
But the fault is one half the time not ours.
Some how or other, public olficers seem lo write
names worse than any thing else; and as names
■are entirely arbitrary, with nothing to guide you
where you are in doubts, vve frequently have to
depend altogether upon a Yankee guess as to
what the name is, so wretchedly is it set down.
In composition general y, you can frequency de
duce what is intended, from the context, hut in
names you have no such clue; there what is writ
ten stands for itself, without the slightest help
from any other quarter, and when officers will not
take pains to write names especially plain, mis
takes are unavoids do. Wc throw these hints
out to our friends with the kindest feelings ; wo
wiaivt-j avoid errors ns far as it is in our power, and
hopiAlrcy will afford us their assistance by being
especially careful in writing names."
It is seldom we have to notice the crime of
murder committed by one of tire gentler sex.—
Georgia, vve believe, whatever testimony the re
cords of her,Courts may give against man, and it
affords as little perhaps as any other slate, has
'but few instances of a like character But one
other case within our recollection has occurred, oj
a female being sentenced to an incarceration with
in the Walls of the Penitentiary,
Important and unusual Trial and con
viction. —At the April Term ot the Superior
Court for the county of Jasper, Ga., 1?37, Mrs.
Matilda Cogswell was tried for the murder ot her
stepson, Hiram Cogswell, a youth eleven years
of age. The evidence was entirely circumstan
tial. The Jury retired to their room with the
case about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and return
ed early the ensuing morning with a verdict of
guilty. The case was argued by Edwani Y, nad
Joshua Hill, Esffrsi and \Vm;C. Dawson, Esq.
for the prisoner, and by Richtth] 0. Davidson,
Esq. Solicitor General, in liehalf of the Slate.—
Sentenced under a special provision of the Penal
Code of the Stale, in such cases; to imprisonment
and labor in the Penitentiary during the natural
life of the convict.— Standard of Union.
Return of the New York Committee of
Fifti. —The Now York Evening Star of May
6, says:—
(fj* The New York Committee of merchants
have.reluined and have received from President
Van Buren a Hut negative to the two propositions
made by them, viz. :
1. That of repealing the Circular.
2. The calling of Congress together.
The answer in writing will in all probability bo
laid before a public meeting eatly next week.
We candidly confess that we did not erlterlaiil
much hope of relief when noticing the gross con
duct of the Globe in reference to tho suffering
iTnerchanls. The storm it seems, must rage on ;
|the determination of the Kitchen Cabinet is at
Severy sacrifice to break the United States Bank,
|p?lic whole administration will be lost in the gen
eral ruin, as the fall elections will indicate; that
may be some, but it is a poor consolation for the
WKic-sprcad ruin with which wo-arc all threaten-
We recommend prudence and an absence of
ell excitement. We must forget the Specie Cir
cular, and if, possible, for a while, the general
distress, and pro Jenlly but firmly adopt such steps
as will save the country from its greatest danger
—the loss of public liberty.
When the President of the United States, tho
servant of the people, refuses to use the constitu
tional and safe means in his power to avert a
general bankruptcy, the character of this Govern
ment is entirely changed, and we live in A DES
POTISM.
FALLEN GREATNESS EXPECTED.

Hoarding Sckcik.—No free Government on
earth ever hoarded Gold and Sdvcr. The Kings
of the East in ancient times collected vast sums
of gpld and Silver, but the people were staves !
Wpen Lord Exmoulh bombarded Algiers, and
tluKDey surrendered at discretion, he found 12,-
OfllChnstian, and 150,000 Mussulman slaves—
-7 MMbund tyranny, despotism, and misery prevail
ing; to an unexampled extent—yet he shovelled
'jtmK the Gold and Silver from the Treasury by
; whole huildinrs walled up by ma
jpns contained Gold and Silver, which had been
iparded for centuries by tyrannical rulers, yet
the peojdo were starving and bent to the earth
by oppression. Such ivoutd be our condition,
joßt/ir Government could be permitted to glean
18 1 the Gold anil Silver belonging to the free
of this country, and lock it up from use
Hcircnfahon.—JV. Y. Star.
Hi honorable example. —A note was placed
hands of a Lawyer in this city, a day or
since, against a man who owns the house in
he lives, which is unincumbered, and
Bth ten times the amount of the note. On
K informed by the Lawyer that the note had
placed with him for collection, he frankly
V him that he had not the money, hot would
give him fifty dollars and pay the debt, if ho, the
Lawyer, would raise the money on a mortgage of
his house. Tho attorney not being able to do
this, told his client that if, under these circum
stances, he was determined lo put tho note in suit,
he must employ some other lawyer to bring the
suit tor he would not.— Phil. Cum. Herald.
The Washington Globe contradicts tho state
ment. ol one of the Now-York pap.-rs, that the
Government had issued a Treasury Order direct
ing the Deposit Banks to send the amount of
the public revenue in their vaults to Washington.
, There are not, says the Globe, since the dis
tribution o! the Deposited among the Stales, above
five millions of surplus in the Treasury,
Massvcre of Seventy Missionares!—The
Aew Bedford Mercury of Saturday contains a
statement of toe most horrid massacre of seventy
native missionaries at Wallis’ Island in the South
Sea, in August 1836. Mr. Win. M. Barnard,
formerly second officer of the ship Selma, of New
Bedford, who arrived there in the Parachute a
few days since, furnished the statement to the
Mercury. It appears from his journal that the
Engl sh Missionaries at Keppel Island, (one of
the Friendly group) conceived tho benevolent
plan of attempting to introduce Chrislanily at
Wallis’lsland, by sending native teachers and
missionaries, thinking they would meet with loss
opposition than foreigners. They procured them
a passage lo the Island—hut, horrid lo relate, soon '
alter they landed the whole number wore mur
dered in the most barbarous manman. Mr.
Barnard was ot thcjslat.d when’the massacre took
place, and left in the sloop of war Vincennes,when
she touched at that place. He left the latter vessel
at Capo Town.
White Races in Africa.—M. Dureau do 1
Camalle, the surgeon in chief of the French army 1
at Algiers, has communicated to the institute a 1
statement that he has seen a beautiful blonde wo- ;
man, with blue eyes and auburn hair and the
fairest skin, (wife ofSidi Hamctjand that she be
longs to a race of the kind in tho interior of Afri
ca. Surely, the Surgeon has not been deceived 1
by an oilbino ? There arc instancies of those 1
white negroes frequently seen in tho West In- .
dies.—A. Y. Star.
From the N. V. Commercial Advertiser, May G.
Wall Street.— One O'clock. —The bro
kers, to-day, arc buying little if any Western mo
ney. We heard of one sale of safely fund notes
made at ten per cent.
In slocks, it will bo seen by tho report of sales,
that some have improved and others fallen off.
United Stales, for instance, at 98, fall of 4 per
cent —while Ulica closed at 104|, an improve
ment of nearly the same.
Tho accounts from the manufacturing towns
are gloomy in the extreme. Tho Worcester, Mass.
Spy, says the proprietors of the woollen factories
as Clappvillo have determined lo close their gates.
350 persons will be consequently thrown out of
employ.
Several other manufacturing establishments in
that vicinity, are also suspending operations.
From the cutlery establishment of J. Russell &
Co. at Greenfield in that slate, fifty workmen had
been discharged.
From Connecticut, vve have the news of the
stoppage of two heavy manufacturing establish
ments —one at Wolcottville, the other at West
Goshen. Tho Litchfield paper says that failures
and stoppages are taking place in all tho manu
facturing villages, and many workmen thrown
out of employment in an utterly destitute condi
tion.
By the stoppages recorded above, probably 600
persons have been deprived of work—and yet we
are told distress is only felt by the speculator.
From New Orleans the dates arc to tho 28th.
Tho True American says are three lar ,c houses
yet left in the cotton business tottering to their
fall. Thecxpross mail has just arrived. Produce
going down rapidly. There is a complete dearth
of business. The news received at Now York
from Franco has caused a fall of two cents on
cotton.
The stock tin hand is now over 100,009 bales.
The supply from the interior is falling off, while
shipments by first hands are going on with some
spirit, if it be only lo realize a loss in Liverpool
and Havre. Belter it should he in market than
lying piled up in our sheds. No calls to-day, [the
SBlb,] at any price. A few barter operations may
have taken place but net lo any extent.
From the New York Herald.
MONEY MARKET.
Saturday May 0.
Tho panic incfcases —not diminishes. Yes
terday, bank stocks fell more than on any one
day during the crisis. Even the United Stales
Bank begins lo shake in the wind. It tumbled
from 108 down to 103 in a few hours, and (ears
are entertained that it will go below par. Itscon
dilion is now beginning to be seriously question
ed—and the good management of Mr. Biddle
doubted.
It seems that its recent operations in bonds and
post notes will involve it in some loss. The ex
traordinary failures already taken place, and the
dread of what every European arrival may bring,
must ultimately affect the paper which the Uni
ted Stales Bank took in exchange for its post
notes and other securities. In addition to this,
it is generally rumored in tho street that failures
and bankruptcyjin thejsouth and south west, will
eventually impair its assets. It will be recollect
ed that when the old bank closed, it sold the debts
of its various branches, last year, on credits of ;
one, two, and three years- Few, if any, of those i
nstalments have been paid. The existing extra- •
rdinary b ankruptcics will affect deeply the as
sets of the several purchasing banks. Probably
10 to J 14,000,000 of the assets of the United 1
Stales Bank were assumed by these several state ,
banks, without any other securities than the sol
vency of the institutions —and the ultimate good- j
ness of the individual dealers. In a species of |
general bankruptcy, to the amount of §150,000,-
000, the state banks must suffer severely. Wo
will, for example, only point lo the banks in Mo- |
bile, New Orleans, and Buffalo. In each of those
cities the revulsion has swept over the land with
tremendous fury.
From those apprehensions—and they are ba
sed on indisputable data——the United States
Bank begins to lose its good character and its
high standing. By the latest returns made to tho .
legislature in Pennsylvania, confidentially rcceiv
ed certain operators in the street —its stock of
specie—its circulation —its assets —and its gen
eral conditon arc believed lo be weaker than on
any former occasion. In a few days it is proba
ble the Globe will come out with a general state
ment and investigation of its com ilion. \\ hit
ney has already been writing lo this city on tiro
general subject, and the trip of Mr. Biddle to
Washington had for its object some genera! ar
rangement with tho government to avert a calam
ity equally to bo dreaded by the stale banks, as
! well as the United States. . „ . ,
In other bank stocks, but especially in the
Mechanics and Stale Bank, there is a similar
panic. The losses of the Slate Bank are positive
’ ly denied by its cashier and other officers. They
say, “the whole amount of our loss by relumed
drafts on bankrupt business will not exceed §lO,
000 ” Yet in the face of these heart rending pro
testations, Stale Bank fell to 75 yesterday, cash.
It is certainly a singular want of confidence in the
morals of bankers,when their solemn declarations
arc disbelieved. Yet it is so. Theunnsaclmns leak
in" oil concerning tho management oflhe btate B.
: ate of such a nature as to stagger the confidence
. of the public in any declaration.j The Stale Bank
, is believed to be a very heavy loser in late ope ra
tions. and not even a speech nor a certificate from
Mr. Commissioner Davis would shake thu belief
I from the minds of business people.
■ The run on the Mechanics Bank is entirely
i over. 'There never was any reason for it, and ol
I cou.se, the public finding its solvency undoubted,
, quit the foolish call for specie. Ihe losses of
I the Mechanics Bank are very ccnwde able, yet
-1 they will not affect it* solvency, or its ability to
| ; redeem it* notes and depositor.. We learn thst I
the two brokers who were connected with the J i
recent transactions of the lamented Mr. Fleming, |
arc Messrs. A. B. Haxlun and James G. Smith,
One or both of these gentlemen were tho cbn- (
fidential correspondents of Reuben M. Whitney (
in Washington, who, as agent of the Mechanics j
Bank there, had a salary of §SOO, and the pick- ;
ings, For some time part, Messrs Haxtuit and \
Smith, have been dealing largely in buying at 1,
3 and 3 pet cent, per month, commercial paper, j
Their chocks were always good at the Mechanics |
Bank,where it was goncally supposed they had no
deposites. Mr. Smith frequently negotiated south
ern paper, or city acceptance, endorsed them, and }
drew his checks against the amount on the Me- ,
chanics Bank. Mr. Haxtun was also engaged in
Ihe same capacity. 'The recent failures of Hicks, '
Lawrence aSc Co., Josephs, and many others, by 8
which Mr. Fleming and his two agents lost mo- c
ney, have brought these matters to light. 'They *
have been long suspected, but, till now, the gen- 8
oral fact could only be surmised. 8
it is also now believed that the two other gov- B
eminent banks in this city, the Manhattan and ■
the Bank of America, have had, in their trail, c
each a similar clique of agents, engaged in buying c
and selling—ncgooialing and financiering on the c
funds of the government, to the piofit and udvaa- !
(age of the confederates. The head and faun- s
tain of these cliques are at Washington, princi
pally Mr. Whitney, if not Mr. Kendall. In a short s
,titno wo shall be prepared, wo hope, to give the
public some further astounding revelations. Poor ']
Mr. Fleming Iras fallen a victim to these gentle- <■
men, and probably, before May is past and gone,
others may unfortunately have to follow hard upon ;
his fate. ’ £
The rapid and accumulating suspensions as- r
tonish all. During the week, as near as wc can
estimate, sixty-eight large houses have failed or
suspended—principally jobbers—for an amount j
equal to twenty millions of dollars, Their as
sets are estimated at thirty millions, but many j
believe, that owing to the derangement of busi
ness—the (all of goads—the dullness oflhe times,
not two out of ten w ill over pay 100 cents in the
dollar. Tho whole number of failures, up lo this i
day, is 303 for Now York alone, of which 98 are 1
jobbers. Now, what amount have these 98 job- *
bers gone fori We should think abeut §30.000,- 1
000. Who suffers! The Importers. How ma- '
iiy importers are there in the city! About one I
hundred. So! that would average them how e
much l 'Two hundred thousand dollars each. t.
Can they stand this loss! To this question let I
the future reply. t
THE “ PRINCE”& THE JEWELLER. J
An Anecdote related by M Pasquier to Prince Cara
bacorcs.
A Jeweller of Paris one day saw a splen
did equipage drive up to his t.oor, and a tail
important looking gentlemen alighted- front (
it. He wanted a lady’s set of diamond orita-
merits, a complete wedding parure. The
price was fixed at two hundred thousand
francs. Several designs were shewn to hint.
Ho made choice of one, said lie could grunt j
but little time for executing tire order, and
insisting on leaving with the Jeweller a depos- (
it, of four thousand Irancs in billelsds banque.
He also selected a ring, worth a hundred and J
twenty francs, and ordered it to bo sent home
next day ; and five days after the whole set
of diamonds were lo be completed. Accord- (
ingly, on lire following day, a confidential
messenger from the jeweller’s repaired lo the (
Hotel 1) , nr the Rue dc la Paix’ and in
quiretl for Prince G irgarin. lie was shewn |
into an apartment on lire first story. Five or
six lackeys were in the auichainher. The
prince took the ring, paid for it; and gavo a
present often francs to the messenger, who
joyfully returned home, and congratulated his
master on having so wealthy and liberal a cus
tomer.
The jeweller, with the utmost punctuality
canied home the diamonds on the day ap
pointed. The prince was in It's study, sil
ting before his cylindrical secrotarie, which
was open. The jeweller handed the casket
to him, and Ills highness minutely inspected
the jewels; suddenly duo oflhe valets entered
the room, and announced “ Prince Doigor
oki.*'
“Alt! my brother-in-law,” exclaimed his
highness. “1 do not wish him to see tho
present which 1 destine for his sister. Request
him to stay in tho drawing room, and 1 will
come to linn immediately.” lie touched the
table, the cylinder moved, and the secretaire
closed; the diamonds were within it; but on
the table there lay an open box filled with
leather bugs, and numerous rouleauxjol Lomu
were huddled together in confusion. The
jeweller had observed all this treasure on Ins ,
first arrival; but his attention was particularly f
attracted fay a large Russia leather portfolio, (
well lined with billets de banque, the edges of ,
which were visible.
His highness left the room, saying be would (
return very shortly. Tho jeweller begged he s
would not hurry himself. About twenty min- j
utes elapsed, and a sort of a vague apprehen
sion assailed the jeweller. At length tho <
door opened. Oh! here is his highness,thought
ho.—But no, it was the master of tho hotel, t
who stepping up to the jeweller, said.—
“Are you waiting/or any body, Sir?
"I am waiting for the return ot Prince Gar- |
garin, to whom I have just sold a set of dia
monds for two hundred thousand francs. Are
you his secretary.” ,
“1 am his dupe, and so I presume you are!” ,
“What do you mean? Ills dupe! impossible!
The Jewels are shut up in that secretaire. Be- j
sides, look at litis money."
He seized one of the leather bags,and open- ,
ing it, discovered, to Itis horror, that it was t
filled with nails; the rouleaux contained noth- (
ing, and the portfolio scraps of waste paper.
However, Uhe jeweller consoled himself— j
the diamonds were still safe. A locksmith f
was sent for; lltt secretaire was opened, and j
oh, horror,it was empty, It stood on oneside "
of the room, against a wall in which a hole
had been made, and there being a correspon
ding hole in the back of the secretaire; the
jewels had with perfect ease, been conveyed
into tlie adjoining apartment.
The despair of the unfortunate jeweller nrty (
be easily conceived. The master of the ho- t ;
te', too, who had let his apartments to the «:
prc'entled Prince G.trgarin, had been exten- 1
siveiy swindled. The servants all belonged [
to the hotel ,with'the exception of the valel de ,
chamhre, who was the and confed- c
crate oflhe prince.
It was ascertained that they had decamped *
in a coach from the door of the hotel. Every J
exertion was made lo trace litem out, but so- j
veral years elapsed before they were discov- t
erod.
Ti e jeweller, who was nearly ruined by J
this robbery, removed to another quarter of t
Paris, and established it tnself under a new
name. One day a messenger called on him
from N. T. , a gentleman holding- an ofli- ]
ctal situation, who was very ill and wished to (
purchase some rings. The poor jeweller had
naturally become suspicious ever since his <
fatal adventure with Prince Gargarin and, in- <
stead of sending his shopman, lie took .the ’
rings himself. He was shown into the bed- (
chamber which was partially lighted; owing ,
to the situation oflhe windows, the room was |
ali in shade, except in thal part where the ;
bed stood. What was tho surprise, of the '
jeweller when he discovered in the invalid M.
viously defrauded him in the assumed charac
ter of tho Russian Prince Gargarin! Fora
tew moments,he was struck dumb with amaze
ment. However, lie recovered himself, and
deemin’ it prudent not lo betray the d.scove-
I rv "he had made, it* disp'ayed his rings, re.
veral were selected, and their price amounted
to about six thousand francs.
“It is a large sum es money for a poor ruin
ed man,” said M. T—“l have not ready
cash sufficient to settle the whole amount, and
1 shall feel obliged if you will take in payment
this curious old snuff box, which is of grfcal
Value.”
Ho asked for his dressing-case, and, opotr
itight, took outran octagon-shaped china snuff
box, ornamented with ten miniatures by
Clinchstoil, set in gold and rubies. It was
perfectly unique, and of inestimable valuh. On
beholding i*. the jeweller well nigh betrayed
himself. The snuff-box which Mr. T
presented to him was one which had been
stolen from him a few days before the robbery
of bis diamonds. The box was too remarkable
to admit ot the possibility of mistake. Be
sides it had a secret spring by means of which
all the inmiattkres could be taken out of their
settings, and on the reverse Were paidted sim
ilar subjects, but treated in the style of indeli
cacy peculiar to the age of Louis XV. Tills
circumstance was important in proof of his
claim to the possession of the box. When
Mr. T. asked him to set a value on it, ho
said without hesitation:—
“I consider it worth more than fifty thou
sand francs.”
“Fifty thousand francs!” exclaimed M.
T “I thought it valuable, but this far
exceeds my estimation of it.”
“Sir,” resumed the jeweller, “I will not re
tract what 1 have said. lam an expert deal
er, and to me it may probably bo worth far
more than the sum I have fixed. I will make
this proposition to you: you shall tuku the
rings you have selected, and you shall put the
box under an envelope, slating it to be my
properly ; and, if it. does not bring more tiling
filly thousand francs, you shall have the rings
for nothing.”
M. T was completely blinded by
this deep laid scheme, lie was a good con
noisseur of objects of tur/ii, and lie was not a
little gratified to find bis box so much over
valued, and to bo enabled to obtain the rings
without opening bis purse. The most exag
gerated valuation of the smift’ box wood
scarcely have exceeded seven or eight thous
and francs. He sent fur two of Ins neigh
bours, one of whom was n notary, and the
matter was arranged conformably with the
jeweller’s proposition. This being done, the
nvalid said—
“ Who will fix the price of the boxl”
“Yon, sir,"coolly replied the jeweller.
“Mel you are jesting.” (
“I assure you, sir, lam quite sodous. 1 ’
would willingly lay a good wager that you
will value lift? box at five hundred
francs.”
M T. .directedat the two witnt ass
a look which seemed to say, the man is mad;
but the jeweller added—
“ Yon will value it at that price. lam cer
tain you will. But first of all I have to ac
quaint you with a circumstance connected
witli this box, which will enable you to - , per.
coive its real value.”
M. T. , full of curiosity and anxiety,
consented to bear the jeweller’s communica
tion in private. The two neighbours, Hiking
the box with them, adjourned to the drawing
room; and M. T. and the jeweller being
leit alone, the latter said—
“ Sir, it is now about sixteen years ago
1 since that snuffbox was stolen from me, and
a short time after you robbed me of fifty thou
sand crowns worth of diamonds, under the as
sumed name of Prince Gargarin. I have now
discovered you. My evidence relative to the
robbery is on record. You have declared the
snuffbox to be yours, and I can prove having
purchased it at a public sale. 1 know a se
cret which will place the tfuth of my assertion
beyond a ddubt. Now, sir, tell me whether
you are inclined to defend yourself in the cri
minal suit which I intend forthwith to institute
against you.”
Every word uttered by the jeweller full like
a thunderbolt on the cars of M. ’l’ . Over
whelmed with the eonsciou mess of Ilia guilt,
imagination pictured all the horrors of impris
onment, trial, sentence, and the scaffold. He
reflected, and the jeweller said—
“ Sir, I give yon five minutes to form your
determination.”
At the expiration of that interval, M. T
in a faltering voice, directed the jeweller to
open a drawer in which ho would find bilhis
debanqua , for three hundred thousand francs
and he signed a bond for two hundred thou
sand francs, payable at Ins banker’s that same
day. This being done, the jeweller called in
the witnesses.
“Gentlemen,” said lie, “I have at length
convinced M. T of the real value of the
snuffbox. You seethe price at wit cli he has
purchased it back from me”
“I have given five litulrod thousand
francs, ” said M, T. .
“Here is your box !” said the jeweller, res
toring it, “ and 1 will lot you have the rings
into the bargain.”
The notary, vVho was nd less arnazsd th in
the oilier witness, said.—
“There is some mystery in all this."
“Probably there is,” replied the jeweller,
“ M. T may explain it if lie pleases ; for
rny part. I promise him eternal secrecy.”
With these words, he look his departure,
leaving the witnesses bewildered in a maze of
conjectures. M. T , though immensely
rich, (he was said to possess upwards of
three millions) never recovered frdm the mor
tification attendant on this unexpected dis
covery. The jeweller faithfully adhered to
his promise of sdcrccy j but toe subtle ma
chinery of the police unravelled the mystery.

quested that persons sending mores, will send a note

John Bascoinbe never having covered, his power*
as a foal-gottor are, of course, unknown ; such mares
therefore, as do not prove in tool, shall have the
benefit of another season, free of charge. J/cssrs,
Glascock & Lucy are extensively provided with Lot*
and Stables, for mares that may bo sent to remain
with Ilia li rso, and will be fed at fifty cents pot

Every care and attention will bo taken lo guard
against accidents or escapes, but no liability will be
incurred for cither. A report having gained circula
tion that John Bascombu would nut cover, 1 take
this method lo contradict it, so far as he bus not re
fused.
PEDIGREE.—John Rascomhc is a light ehosnnt
fifteen and a hall hands high, tine bone Uml muscle
with very superior limbs and action, six years old
