Some forty years ago the body of a fine young horse wes found fastened 1o a tree by a halter near the new road, a short cut from the old Provi- dence turnpike to Bkonk. The horse had evidently been left there when the thick woods were full of leaves, as it was not far from the road. Several wad heard a horse neigh in that di- rection during the late summer, but had thought it was one that the Frank- lin brothers had in their pasture near, and cold weatehr had come before there was any smell from the carcass. How long the poor creature suffered before death came will never be known, but it had eaten every twig and bit of bark that it could reach. A good saddle and bridle were found carsfully hidden nearby There has never heen any trace found of where it came from or by whom it was left Was a horse stolen from a distant st left until it wa safe to remove it, and did something go wrong, or a mina de until the horse had to be left and he hid it to turn the officers from his track? It is a m tery that has never been solved, and few are left who remember ft. General News. Amert Gaskill and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Woodbury of Sterling were €unday isitors at Elm Gaskill's.
