"Mnfriinrf mnre certain than A SO fays every one, and we all agree that they mnft be paid, but differ a little as to the tine of pay ment; I and, for unqueftionable reafons, it ought to be made early in the year, msny erroneoufly think they may claim indulgence till the All, and there are, perhaps a few fill! more unresfonable. people of this county, however, deferve much credit, fpr they generally pay county charges with cheerfulnefs but I would recommend it to them o' difcharge theif aOeflment fome months the year than has hitherto been the practice, pofitively the refult wculd be to their advantage.

A. 1 HI FLYER, Will (land to cover mares this feafon at South River ferry, four miles from Annapolis, from the IJthof April to the 1 jch of July, at twenty dollars each; ii credit is required, or fifteen dollars each, and one dollar to the groom, if the money is fent with the mares, or paid by the end of the feafon. HIGH FLYER is fix teen hands high, a blood bay, with a fUr and one white foot, And is the largell full bred horle ever imported into this couutry. The owners of this horfe's colt: have been offered from 600 to 1000 dollars for them, both in Penhfylvanu and Maryland. High Flyer was bred by Richard Tatterfall, got by his High Flyer, which won upwards of 7000 guineas, and wa never beat.

Thiftle, the dam of High Flyer, was got by Syphon, fhe was the dam. of Mr. lutchifon's Thillle, which was a good runner, his grand dam by Cade, (he was the dam of Mr. Shaftoe's Hunter Omnium, Herald, and Mill 1 ,1 1 it. .1.

LftEBOO, the firft colt of High Flyet's get, that has fiarted, out of a full bred mare, won three races in as many days laft fall, ought to enhance this horfe's flock. The mod capital rlud horfes in England do not get one colt in ten good runners. The reafon of High Flyer's (landing this feafon at fifteen dollars each mare is the want of money in this flate; jf High Flyer was in England, and fo capital a colt as Lee boo had made three fuch races, High Flyer would have ftocd at twenty guineas each mare. Good giafa will be provided for mares at 39 per week, every attrition paid them, but will not be anfwerable for accidents or cfcapes.
