Bullock. at ihe lollowmec prices, (to wit:) TWEN i-rivr, UUL.L.AUS the season, and FORTY Dollars the insurance, wtth fiftv cents to the Groom in every instance. Every exertion will be carefully observed to prevent accidents, but no liability will oe incurred it any should happen. it is entirely unnecessary to make anv comment upon this thorough bred horse, is his Pedigree which is given below, should, independent, of the fine nerfor. mancesof the few colls of his set. on the racing Turf, recommend him. to all un prejudiced judges, as a horse that should not as to genuineness of blood, stand infe rior to none others in the State of North Carolina. The many good crosses both of American and imported stock, should iust- ly entitle him to a reputation sufficient, o entitle him justly io an exlensivapal ronage, by all those, who are anxious to raise race horses of never flinching game. connected also with no small degree of peed. With correct and proper croses his colts cannot fail to figure as sulerdidlv on the Turf as any other in America for an account ot his colts7 races see lurf Register and Spirit of the Times. II this opportunity is not accepted by those who are anxious to improve their stock, a source of regret may hereafter be occasion ed, as another so favorable may not be Sjiven. A liberal deduction will be made f any responsible person will make up a club of live mares. The season will com mence 1st March and end 1st July. MUCKLE JOHN is fifteen years old this spring, and now possesses all the liveliness ot action as a colt ol 3 years old. Pedigree. MUCKLE JOHN was got by Old Har rod, he by Old Sir Archie.

Muckle John's dam by Old Collector, his grandam by (Jhl Imported Citizen, his g grandam by the Imported Union, his g. g. grandam by the Imported liuckskin. It is unnecessary to trace him further, as the above is sufficient to give him a pedigree not surpassed bT any horse in the country. WM G. BULLUCK. JOHN J. DANIEL. Feb. 24, 1S3S.
