Mr Christian K Ross, father of Charley Ross, his little son Walter, and Detective Seltick examined a horse at A an Fleet s club stables in Fair street, Newark, on 11th. The horse was recognised *byr AA'al ter as the one which was driven by the abductors of hn brother. On the 23d of October a boy inquired the price for boarding a horse in the stable, say ing he had been sent to inquire by an old gentleman Three hour* afterward the lad took the horse to the stable*. The animal was thin and sunburned. On the 25th of the same month an elderly man, who is described a* M. slier, the dead bur glar, called with the boy, and pretending to be the owner, told the hostler to wash the animal's tail and mane with salt and water to lake the sunburned appearance away. On the 28th an expressman called for the horse, saying that a man bad sent him from the Bull's Uead Hotel in New York. The expressman did not have the money to pay for the horse's boarding, and Mr. A'an Fleet refused to let the horse go. Mr. Van Fleet has never h< ard anything mure about the ownership of the horse, which is still in the stable*. Superintendent AA'alling's published de scription of the animal corresponded so minutely with the horse in the F'air street -tables that Mr. A'an Fleet telegraphed to the Superintendent, and yesterday little Waller Ross said he was sure it was the one that the abductors drove. 4 NNU A L STATE MKN T. liiS.-r ,i f tKe Farmers' Mutual Fire In surance Company of Centre (Xiunty.
