From the subscriber, on the 5th, one fine bay mare mule; also one small iron-gray colt. Said mare is about 7 or 8 years old, was in fine order when she left my house, stands with her feet very far apart – caused from a strain in the shoulder. Any information in regard to said stock will be thankfully received, and the finder liberally rewarded.
