INDIAN CHIEF. 
Is a horse of more power and speed than any other inthe New 
England States. He was raised and sold three years since by Van- 
tassel, a chiet of the Upper Canada tribe, to a company the 
County of Columbia, State of New York, where he has been match- 
ed against time and won a number of large bets. He has been let 
to mares and left the most powerful colts ever known from any 
other horse in that section. The subscriber was induced to pur- 
chase him for the improvement of the stock in Maine, and now 
offers the use of him at the low price of six dollars for the season. 
The public are requested to call at the stable of the subscriber and 
examine this uncommon animal, where also will stand the well 
known horse DUROC. Terms as usual—$6 season—$%5 single service
