Sale of the "Coming Horse.'
Mr. Robert Banner has just purchased
the stallion Mujor Wlndfleld, tbe "Com
ing Horse," and has changed bis name to
Edward Everett. Tbe price paid was
twenty thousand dollars each, and tbe soil
er, ex-shfiiff Lilburn of Rockland county,
remarked it was the largest sum of money
that he ever bad in his pocket at one time
Mujor Winlicld now Edward Everett Is
Ihu sire of Commodoto Vanderbelt's Moun
tain Boy, and of Mr. Bonner's much more
wonderful flve-yeur-old, Joe Eliott, wbo 011
tbe 4dny. of November trotted a mile in
2:191-2 the fastest mile ever trotted on
Long Lluud, except by Dexter, wbo is a
halt' brother of ti.ia stallion, Ho is altogth
cr the liuesl slullion sired by old Hauibls
tonian. We learn that Mr. Bonner's idea
in purchasing him is to experiment ou breed
ing a race of tardy trotters from his cele
brated mures, Flatbush, Palmer, Peerless,
ic. Edward Everu't is a bright bay, a
little over fifteen hands bih, and U now
in Mr. Bouuer's stable in this city. He is
galled very tuiiqb like his noted son, Joe
Eliott. Tbe shrewd horsemen say that tbis
putcbase is a great piece of generalship on
tbe part of Mr. Bonner, as be now gets all
the benefit of tbe performances of bis own
colt, and iudirectly of tboee of Mountain
Boy, wbo was sired by tbis staillou also.
A &BCT8 at Auction. Tbe entire ef
fects of Dr. JaineB L.- Thayer's circus were
sold at auction in Cincinnati on Tuesday
last. Tbe Commercial of that city has the
following particulars of the sale: "The per
forming horses were first offered, und sold
at prices averaging about one hundred and
fifty dollars each. Mr. Adam F-orepaugh
became (tbe purchaser of the trick poney,
'Doctor," puyidg for him the handsome
of nine bundled and thirty dollars. An
elephant, small in size, but dignified in ap
pearance, was next led forth, and immedi
ately became tbe observed of all observers.
Bidders seemed to be very sby about mak
ing off'is, however, and finally bis dimiu-
tive majesty was knocked down to Fore
paugb for 1,275. An old sbowmag, wbo
was present in tbe ciowd, remarked tbal
"that little animule ought to have fetclied
six thousand dellurs," and walked ofE indig
nant at the sacrifice. Four fiery and un
tamed lions were next offered, und, after
some lively bidding, were awarded to Oscar
H. Norman, at $3,000.
Tbe "kings of tba forest" did not seeme to
be much affected, by tbe novel procesa-of be
ing knocked down to the highest bidder,
of course and blinked lazily at the crowd
through the iron bars of tbeir cage. A few
timid persons inquired whether the cage
was perfectly secure, and looked, fearfully
upon tbe tawney beasts, whose massive
jaws and powerful limbo, seemed waiting
only for the opportunity to burst loMli. wild
with icslstless rage and fury Mr. Fore
paugb and Norman were the principle pur
chasers, tbe former invested $4,200, nnd
.(be latter $9,035. Tbe sales will foot tij) to
about S15.000.
Improvement in the process ot uiatcbmak
iug between men and women is proposed by
the lievolutibn, founded upon the customs of
countries in the Norib of Eurepe. Tbis cus
tom is far tbe marriageable youth of' bcth
sexes to be called together at stuted seasons,
when each one writes ou pnpor the name ot
the individual of tbe opposite sex whom he
or sne uesires 10 marry, me pnpurs uie
than committed in confidence to a commit
tee of two discreet parsons, and if, 00 look
lug over the names, any two are found to
have declared a mutual regard, ibo fact is
announced, and the marriage fellows; while
in overy otber case, where no reciprocal at
tachment appears, the papers are destroyed
witb divulging the secret intrusted to them.
It ia to be questioned whether there is any
need of this expedient in American society.
Our boys and girls, wa apprehend, know
bow to let their preferences appear plainly
enough, and there is seldom any mistake as
to what tey are.
