Young Barefoot. 



THIS very hanilsoiiie Colt, just three years nld, (wa* 

 the first colt ever got. in America, by the truly cele- 

 brated full Iilood horse Barefoot, «ent fiom England by 

 Sir Isaac Collin,) was raised by John Prince, Esq. at Ja- 

 maica Plain, near Bo-ton, out of a large and superior 

 mare of American breed. He is a beautiful dark bay, 

 with black mane and tail, and is considered an animal of 

 great promise. He will be kept lor the u^ujl season at 

 the stable in fJriihton, where Barefoot and Cleaveland 

 have heretofoie stood. 



Terms — Ij!l2 — to be paid before the mare is taken 

 away ; and should the mare not prove to be in loal, the 

 money will be returned. Pasturage can be fuiiiislied for 

 mares, they to be, however, at the ri-k of the owners.

Garden Compound, 



For the preserv.'itioji of Peach and other Fruit Trees. 



This is thought to he an infjllible preservative of the 

 Peach, Plum, and other fruit trees, from the destructive 

 worms and insects which in the spring atlack and de- 

 stroy the vitality of the tree. By a proper application o( 

 the compound, insects will not deposit their eggs in the 

 bark. This article will not harden in the sun, but re- 

 main liquid lor several months, in this respect it is vastly 

 superior to any other composition in use. 



Prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, by John M. 

 Ives, Salem; and John B. Russell, No. 50.^ North 

 Market Street, Boston. 



Price, 3.3 cents per bottle, with directions for its use.

Conqueror. 



THE entire horse Conqueror will stand the ensuing 

 season at the Ten Hills Stock farm in Charleslown, two 

 and a half miles fionr Huston, at ten dollars, to insure a 

 mare in foal, secured by a note at ten months, to he valid 

 and payable in case the mare ^>roves to have been in foal, 

 and one dollar to the groom at the time of covering. 



Conqueror was bred near Montreal (Canada) foaled in 

 May, 1825, and sired by a noted Normandy horse out of a 

 blood Mare — he is rising 15 hands high and remarkably 

 ■well grown, combining great power, generous spirits, 

 1 good action, very docile in his temper, and of that hardy 

 i color, iron gray. This horse has taken three premiums 

 ' in Canada, as the best horse in that country. He has 

 probably as mucti, or more than any other horse now liv- 

 ing, of the strains of blood so well known in N. E. by the 

 name of " the Morgan breed" — froin the best accounts 

 ; the original Morgan horse was made up of the same 

 I strains ol blood as Conqueror. Conqueror has proved a 



sure foal-getter, and is recommended to the public bv
