WARRIOR. 



Two new Stallions have been brought into this vicinity within a 

 short time. One of them by Mr, Johnson, of liallowell, which 

 we have not seen, and another, called the Warrior, belonging to 

 G. Williamson, Esq. of Pittston. This Horse, we have had the 

 pleasure of examining, and consider him, (the opinion of some 

 others to the contrary notwithstanding,) a very fair horse. By a 

 fair horse, we mean one that is well proportioned ; one, whose 

 conformation, when considered as a whole, indicates strength, 

 speed, and bottom, or, in other words, capability of enduring hard 

 labor and fatigue. We have seen prettier horses than he is, and 

 we know of some that would better please the eye of those who 

 judge of a Horse as they would of a Hog, by the quantity of flesh 

 and fat that he carries. " Every one to his liking." We should 

 prefer to examine a horse that was somewhat poor, as it regards 

 fat, rather than one loaded with blubber, if an opinion were re- 

 quired. Warrior is a beautiful dapple grey, sixteen hands high, 

 lofty carriage, and we are much mistaken, if he does not make, 

 when he has arrived at maturity, a horse of powerful bone and 

 muscle. So much as it regards himself: What he will do as it re- 

 gards his posterity, can be belter told tive years hence. 



We understand that a young Horse is to stand in Augusta this 

 season, called " Young Bellfounder." Of him we know nothing 

 except the name, and that we protest against. If he is not a son of 

 Col. Jaques' Bellfounder, he has no business with it. If he is, it 

 will lead to confusion. 



A good assortment of Stallions were never more needed in any 

 county than in this. There has been too much mixing up of one 

 blood, — poor enough at the best. The acquisition of these " new 

 comers" is, therefore, a good step in the cause of improvement ; 

 and we earnestly hope that it will begin a march, that will not soon
