He is a beautiful animal and will prove a valuable addition to the stock horses of Adams county. He was imported from France, is eight years old, a jet black without any white points; carries himself finely, and very sprightly for so large a horse. He looks the true Percheron, and is large for one of that breed, weighing about 1,500 pounds. The concert given last Tuesday evening by the pupils of the Sunday School, at Gunning's Hall, was one alike creditable to pupils and teachers. The little folk acquitted themselves excellently, for which the credit is largely due to Miss BOWE. The tableaux of the ten virgins were almost faultless in dress, pose, attitude and expression. Had the lamps used been of ancient pattern the tableaux would have been historically correct, and the whole beyond reasonable criticism. Obituary Albert MILLER was born in Germany in 1819.
