September last,
A BAY HORSE,
About 5 feet high, had fwhen taken ud
the appearance of being shod all round,
has a few saddle marks on his back and
is inclined to carry his tail somewhat to
one side. Said horse is adjudged to be
IS or 20 years old, trots well, and is ve
ry mischievous appraised at $25. I
have before advertised said horse at the

to be troubled with him any longer.
