One of the most widely known farmers in La Salle county is Mr. Alfred Bornard, a cititen for over forty-four years of Serena. He came from Franco in 1812, and located a mile and a half northeast of the subsequent ly built village of Serena. Here is his 200 acres of farm, well improved, anil stocked with about 50 pure Poland China hogs, fine cattle and, lastly and chiefly, as fine a lot of Percheron horses as have ever been imported from France into this country. He and his eldest son, E. Bernard, visited France last year, and brought over several head of fine young horses of this famous breed, among which was the beautiful horse Louts, No. 2430, 17 hands high, weight 2,000 lbs., coal black, and of wonderful activity and grace. Another, imported in 1882, was Brilliant, 16 hands high, weight 1(50 lbs., largo bone und muscle. Both of these fine horses are yet in his stud. This summer Mr. Bernard went to France for a big lot, and he determined to buy the very best ytun() 1'ercheTon horses that money could procure. Being a Frenchman born, and speaking that language, he was not hamper ed by a deceitful interpreter, nor subject to the cupidity of that well known set of leech es who bleed Americans front foO to $100 on a single horse ! Taking his time, he jour neyed frtim the stables of one extensive horse breeder to another and from place to place, until he obtained what ho wanted. About ten days ago he arrived in Serena, with a splendid outfit, as follows, all under 3, and most only 2 years : No, 1. Raton; sire, Coco; register No. 2723 ; dam, Poule, No. 77-0.

This completes a hasty sketch of the lot, but it was necessarily brief, as our time was short, and besides none but an experienced horse fancier could sum up their good points, aud then it might require days of study of the peculiarities of each animal. This is a splendid lot of pure-blooded Perchcrons. of unquestioned pedigree, and will be sold at as low rates as the same 'he best quality of Percheron horses can be had anywhere in this state.

Mr. Gay himself acquired a good name years ago as a carriage and buggy maker, whose name on a buggy or carriage was a sufficient guarantee of every desirable quality of the vehicle. But of later years his sons have coma into roan's estate, and joining young blood and youthful ambition with his large experience and great skill, the firm boomed wonderfully. A few years ago they entered upon the manufacturing of their famous road cart, pronounced by all odds the very best, seemingly the perfection of this variety of vehicle. They have since the very first, which was a wonderful suc cess, added a number of improvements made and patented by themselves, and so brought the Gay road carl to the front anl fur ahead of all competitors. They make, also, the celebrated "Torson spring," side bar bug gies. A large number of these have been sold and are pronounced the easiest riding buggy ever made. The trade of this firm in family carriages, buggies and road carts extends all over the Union, scarcely a state or county in which numbers of these tine vehicles are not ex tensivety used. As winter is approaching, the firm desire to engage extensively in making sleds nnd cutters, so they need room and will sell car riages, buggits, etc., at reduced rates, and offer bargains accordingly.

Diagram by the horse editor: If there wasn't any hole in them, how the mischief could the charming Catherine ever get them on ? In (he city council the Mayor suggested a needed reform in tho mailer of miscellane ous bill posiing, the abominable custom of plastering all sorts of handbills on the wall of buildings, on the painted bridges, and on every other conceivable surface, no matter how new, clean or nicely painted. The nui sance ought to be stopped. A singular custom, by the way, prevails in Ottawa, which is, wo believe, almost entirely unknow n elsewhere : that of posting printed advertisements of funerals. It probably had its origin in the days prior to the ap. pearance of a daily paper here, when notice of a funeral of some prominent citizen could be made in no other way. Even la such case some people might question the good taste of the fact ; but the custom having thus had a beginning, it has been almost universally followed here since. Out sor row of this nature is of so peculiarly a pri. vate character that it does seem strange to one not familiar with the custom, that it is necessary to give further publicity than that obtained through the press. And how awful does the invitation to a funerU read weeks, may be, after the event, when the wind an 1 ihe nin have defaced it, forcing to mini the though, t "So soon forgot i en !"
