Freman W. Lacy, and be let to !
Mares, the" ensuing season, at One hundred Dollars
the season, payable 25th December next, with One
Dollar to the Groom ; the season to commence the
15th of February, and end the 15th of July next. Jt
is requested that persons sendine Mares, will send a
note for the season, and the pedigree of the Mare.
John Bascombe never having covered, his powers
as a foal getter is, of course, unknown : such Mares,
therefore, as do not prove in foal, shall have the ben
efit of another season, free of charge. Messrs. Glas
cock and Lacy are extensively provided with Lots
and Stables for Mares that may be sent to remain
with the horse and will be well fed at fifty ccnts per
day. Black servants sent with Mares, fed gratis.
Every care and attention wiU'be taken to guard
agiinst accidents, or escapes, but no liability will be
incurred for either.
PEDIGREE. ? John Bascombo is a light chesnut,
fifteen and a half hands high, fin > bone and mnsclet
with very superior limbs and acti >n, six years old the
ensuing spring; he was got J>y ti e celebrated horse
Bertram!, sen., his dam was got by Pacolet, and he
by imported Citizen, his grand dam was got b v
imported Buzzard ; hts great grind dam was pot
by ftiragon, and he by imported Spread Eiele ; his
great great grand dam was got by imported Dove,
&c. &c. Bas combe's performances on the turf, are of
so recent date, afad consequently so well known, I
deem it unnecessary to trouble the public with any
remarks of mine in relation to them, except to state
that he has never lost a heat since he has been in uiy
hands.

THIS School was opened in May 1835, m con
nexion with the Georgetown College, Ky. It
i will hereafter be connected with the Bacon College
; late! v established in the same place.
Thegreal and increasing demand for Civil Engi
neers throughout the United States, affords to young
gentlemen who embark in this business, a more lu
crative salary, than any other profession in our
?ountry.
Well instructed assistant Engineers now receive
i from $1000 to $3006 -per Annum, while Principal
j Engineer* readily obtain from $4000 to 10,000 a year.
' Several young gentlemen have finished their
course at this ^chool and immediately obtained em
ployment ?1000 to $*2000 per annum.
The favourable manner in which they have been
i received by the most scientific Engineers in the
j Union* has induced the subscriber to extend the
course of studies ? to increase the facilities for ac
quiring a thorough and correct practical and theo
retical knowledge of the science, and to adop: many
valuable and important improvements, suggested by
the most eminent Engineers in the United States.
A Student who has completed a regular course of
Mathematics may graduate in this school in six
months at an expense of $120 or S150. Others will
require at least twelve months ? all things being
favourable.
COURSE OF STUDIES AND INSTRUCTION.
1st, The full course of Mathematics studied at

The following extracts of letters from two of Ih*
; most scientific men in our country, will show the
! utility of this School.
_ Frankfort, July ICth, 13^6.
Dear Sir ? The four young gentlemen from the
Georgetown Mathematical School, who are engngsd
as assistants in the Engineer corps of the State,
i have performed the duties assigned them in a very
sa r isfactory manner. Among the young gentlemen
ot my acquaintance who have embraced the Pro
fession of Civil Engineering, those who have been
educated at Mathematical Schools have generally
succeeded better than the graduates of our com
mon College*.
A knowledge of Mineralogy and Chemistry is of
crraat advantage to the Engineer; and it is absolute
ly necessary tl;*t he should be acquainted with
Archi:ec:uwl or Line Drawing. The Student
j-honld be taught the principles of construction at the
same time he 13 taught to make his drawing.
Very respectfully,
V our obedient servant.
SYLVESTER WELCH,
(Engineer in Chief for the State of Ky.)
To T. F. JOHNSON, Esq.
P rojessor of C ivii E ngin ee ring, Georgetown Ky.
Louisville, July 20th, 1836.
Sir ? It affords me pleasure to testify to the very
correet and satisfactory manner in which the two
yeung gentlemen from your Sehool have conducted
themselvs during the time they have been in the
service ; and the ability manifested by the prompt
and skilful discharge of their several duties, is alike
creditable to them and the character of the institution
in which they were instructed.
The Books comprised in your course of studies
are appropriate and well selected. I am pleased lo
hear that Topographical and Architectural Drawing
is to forma part of your future course. This is an
elegant accomplishment to an Engineer, and in the
early part of his career will frequently bring him
into notice and hasten his promotion to more respon
se stations, where his talents may be fully devel
oped^
Appreciating as I do your efforts to elevate the
profession, I trust they will be crowned with success,
and I assure you it will afford me very great plea
sure to render any aid in my power to ipcnntl yon* [
views, Ytwr wwsfrobruieut,

Indianapolis, Oct. 1836.
Dear Sir
* * * We are about to commence the location
of a Canal, 34 miles in length, to meet the Central
Canal, which will take us till late in the fall. I am
perfectly satisfied with my situation, and shall never
regret the money spent in obtaining it. I consider
the fact of my having attended your school one Ses
sion to have saved meat least three years hard la
bour, for it would have required that time (had I not
joined your Class) to qualify me for the discharge of
the duties I now have on hand. I believe this is the
opinion of each member of the class which gradua
ted las^ Session. Respectfully yours, &c.
Fioin a Correspondent of one of the Students.
? Geneva, N. V. Oct. 29th, 1836. ?
Your intention of going to Georgetown, Ky. is, I
think an admirable one, and you would be very much
to blame, not to go through with it ? for, from all
accounts, the School in Georgetown is better adap
ted for preparing Engineers tnan any other in the
United States. I have spoken to several Engineers
on the Subject and they all agree in recommending
it strongly. *?***??!

DR. RELFE'S BOtANICAL DROPS!
Are every yecr increasing their long established
reputation. They have outlived many rival prepa
raiions, and are continually gaining upon public con
fidence.
They have been successfully administered for ma
ny years, as a remedy for ?
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St. Anthony's
Fire, Fever Sores, While Swellings, Scurvy, Foul
and obstinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald
Head, and Venereal Taint ; and are also successfully
used in cases of violent eruptions after the Measles,
Red Blotches, Pimples on the Face, Festering Erup
tions on the skin, and other diseases of the external
surface, ar.d are one of the best Spring and Autumn
Physics known, to free the system from humors.
A Physician of eminence who had witnessed the
efficacy of this article, had the candor recendy to
acknowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it
the best medicine known, for the complaints for
which it is intended, and that it ought deservedly to
stand at the head of the whole class of such reme
dies.
Price one dollar a bottle, or six bottles for five dol
lars.
TEETH! GUMS!
Those who would retain or restore these desirable
personal advantages, are assured that no composition
can be obtained superior to the
British Antiseptic Dentrifice,
which is exempt from acid and other deleterious in
gredients, which too frequently enter the composi
tion of tooth powders in common use, and whitens
the enamel ol the teeth, without doing it the least
injury. Its application also braces and strengthens
the gums, sccurcs to them their healthy and florid
hue, and, by removing all discolorations and offen
sive foreign accumulations from the teeth, preserves
the natural sweetnees of the breath.

To the Citizens oi" Fairfield
District.
Fellow-Citizens: ? I have lately been inform
ed that there are some reports in circulation on
Little River, and about Buck Head, and perhaps
other parts of the Disirict, concerning a circomstance
which occured between Dr. Means and myself, dur
ing the time of the .'ate election for members of the
Legislature. If these reports were true, I certainly
would fee. myself unworthy of the place which I at
present oceupy.
I have been told that it is said, I wrote a letter te
some of my friends in Winnsborough, during the late
election, maki ng statements about Dr. Means and his
friends, which I afterwards denied, and that I back
ed out.
Now it is true that I addressed a letter to some of
my friends in time of the late election, and commu
nicated information which I had received, of what
was going on at Buck Head ; but it is utterly untrue
that I ever denied any thing that I had either said or
written, or that I backed out.
I have also understood that it is said, Dr. Means
pronounced ilie events of the letter which I addres
sed to my friends, a falsehood. ? This is untrue so far
as my knowledge in concerned.- Dr. Means never
said so to me. I do not now what he may have said
toother people. I heard this last report a few days
after the election, and immediately addressed a note
to Dr. Means on the subject ; and also sent him a copy
of the letter which I had written to my friends. In
his answer, tho Dr states what he pronounced a
falsehood ; but disclaims having pronounced the con
tents of my .'ftter a falsehood.
In ord0,,that thib ^hole matter may be the better
understood, I have though Paperto publish the let
ter which 1 addressed to my j^ends during e'8c"
tion, and also my note to Dr. Mea.*12 an? answer:
all of which wiU be found below. .QOC
Near BuckIIeap* Oct. l?36
To Mr. John Smart and others : ? . ?
Dear Sir . ? I am now in Dr. Means' neignb.
hood, and have been informed this evenn^' lhat
some of Dr. Means' friends at Buck Head have gy.ne
ngainst John Woodward and myself in the election.
I give yoj this information that you may use it
agains Dr. Means and to our advantage. Unless
my friends use every exertion for me I shall be left
behind.
If you can send this information to Gladden' s and
Killingsworth's, do so ; and let it be known to my
friends in Winnsborough.
Yours, Ac. JOHN J, MYERS.
WlNN8BOItODGH, Oct. 20, 1S36.
To Dr. David H. Meant : ?
Dear Sir:? I understand it is remored about
Winnsborough, 'f.hat you pronounced the contents of
a letter which I addressed to some of my friends last
week a falsehood. Now, sir, I wish to know wheth
er you ?lid so or not. I herewith send you a copy
of the said letter, so that you may see what 1 wrote ;
and I wish you to say eipressly whether you haveior
now do, pronounce the contents of that letter a false
hood. Yours, &c,
JOHN J. MYERS.
Near Buck Head, Oct. 30. 1836.
ToJ"hn J. Myers : ?
Sir : ? ^ ours of the 20th instant, a ccompanied by
the ropy of a letter written by you to I^r. John Smart
nnd others, dated the 10<h October, a.*e both before
me.
You desire me to state whether I pro.iounced the
contents ofthe letter (a copy of which y?*)u sent me)
false. In reply, I have to state, that 1 did oronounce
the contents of the letter (as I understood them, for
the letter could no where be found) to be utterly false.
The charge made, as I understood, was, tlvit my
own influence and that ofmy family, was ?xei*t?d to
defeat the election of Mr. Woodward and vou^self,
and this I denounced a* a falsehood. Thed*1*^" 113
made in your letter, " that some of Dr Means' frien ds
at Buck Head have eone against John Wood^ ar^
and myself," is doubtless true, as many votes we re
given for me at that place of election, that were nc't
given for either of you.
That any unfairness wus used in the election at
Buck Head, I still say is untrue. That an effort was
made to injure my election, the face of your leucr
sufficient shews. But if Mr. Woodward and your
self are satisfied with the part taken by you in the
late election, I have abundant reason to be satis
fied with mine, which I am conscious has been,
throughout the whole canvass, characterized by the
m< st perfect lairness towards each individual candi
date.
1 am your's, <fcc, D. H. MEANS.
It will be seen in Dr. Means' letter what he pro
' unced a falsehood, and it will also be observed, that
he disclaims having pronounced the content* of my
letter a falshood. Dr. Means makes an imputation
of unfairness, both against Mr. Woodward and my
self, which I care nothing' about. The Dr. is per
fectly welcome lo enjoy his opinion on that subject.
and all that I am dissatisfied about, oriegret, is, that
there was not sufficient time for mv letter to ^,ave
hod the effect which I intended. I hays publiahed
this correspondence, and made these rcinarksin self
defence? justice to myself and ir, y friends required
it ? I seek no difficulty or controvercy wiih any one,
nor shall I b?.ck out Irom any. I regret that I Save
been competed to appear before the public about
this matter, but I hope the justice and necessity of
the case, will be a sufficient apology,
I am, Fellow-citizens, your ob't serv't,
