In a receut issue of the Kentucky Stock Farm "Iconoclast" makes a strong presentation of the claims to greatness of Happy Medium, and thinks it "entirely safe to assume" that the ten years the horse spent in Kentucky "will be at least as prolifiic as the sixteen preceeding ones, and basing the caculation upon the average relative number of 2:30 performers that enter the list before and after the death of their sires, it would not at all be extravagant to predict that Happy Medium will yet have 100 2:30 performers." Kenelm, the horse Difck Wlison has at the Fair grounds, is a son of Happy Medium. The farmers of the county, who have good mares should consider Kenelm's breeding and individual merits if they want to raise some fine colts.

Itev. 15. J. Scott's Birthday Celebrated. According to previous arrangement, Mr. Will Robb, on the 21st inst, drove up to the residence of Rev. E. J. Scott, of Greenfield, to drive him over to Sugarcreek and spend a few hours fishing. The morning was gloomy and the indications for rain quite threatening, and so very naturally Mr. Scott proposed the fishing expedition be postponed until a fairer day. Of course Mr. Robb could not go at any other time, and Mr. Scott reluctantly yielded. The fishing place was reached, the fishing tackle made ready, the bait attached and the hook plunged in after the finny tribe. It was soon discovered that there was no trouble to get "bites" plenty of them but they were mostly mosquito "bites," for it was a good day for the 'critters.'' Mr. Robb, however, was partly successful, and soon the Rev.Scott was a little excited, for it is his ambition to never be beaten. During the excitement, and while fighting and slapping the mosquitoes, he lost his footing and plunged into the water. Of course he was wet, and like a sensible man, wanted to go home and change apparel. Mr. Robb was now put to his wits, for the time had not come for Mr. Scott to go home. By strong persuasion and goodnatured pleasantries he finally succeeded in prevailing on him to remain. Mr. S. says: "I think you a little cruel, but you have bceu so good and kind to furnish a horse and buggy, tackle and bait, and now for your pleasure I will try and endure it." It was noon when theys drove back to the residence of Mr. Scott. His wife and daughter met him at the door and welcomed him in, when from the parlor, bedroom, dining-room and library, there poured in cm to him a mighty tide of friends, reminding him that this was his forty-seventh birth-day. In'the diningroom stood two large tables, loaded' with every good thing the land affords, served in the most attractive manner to make a "poor fisherman's'" mouth water and his heart rejoice. The delicious food, the beautiful bouquets and garlands upon the tables, and the smiling countenances of his friends, banished from the mind of Mr. Scott all remembrance of mosquito, bites and the wetting. When the tables were surrounded, Rev. J. O. Binford, in a few well directed words of thanksgiving and praise to the Giver of life and all of its blessings, had voiced the sentiment of many hearts, the well served viands began to rapidly disappear, and when eigli-ty-five had eaten, the tables were relieved of a great burden. Mr. Scott was then led to the parlor, where Mr. Binford, on behalf of the donors, in a few' appropriate words presented to him some pi-esents. Among these, was a nice willow rocker, and he was reminded that when age should come, and he should be wearied and tired, his friends wanted that he should have comfortable rest. Other gifts were made by J. K. Henby and wife C. M. Jackson and lady Dr. Bruner and wife, Jonathan Jessup and wife, Lewis Jessup and wife, and Wm. Robb. Evidently, Mr. Scott, with a full and prayerful heart accepted these and all the kindnesses of the occasion, as substantial tokens of friendship and an interest in the work of Christ iu which he has been so earnestly engaged since coming into our county.
