The State of New York having now granted a bounty of

WILL stand for Mares the ensuing season, at the barn of 

 Mr. C. Ashton, in Shelby, one mile west and half a 

 mile south from Medina, Orleans Co., wliere he has stood 

 the two last seasons. 



It is hut just to say that he is not probably surpassed by 

 any horse in Western New York. Good judges who were 

 at the Fair ill Rochester, last fall, think that if he had been 

 there he would have taken the premium without any doubt. 

 His stock is right— just the thing for farmers and the mar- 

 ket. Gentlemen who wish to raise good horses will do well 

 to call and see. — He is e-xtensively known in Livingston 

 county. T. H. ASHTON,
