GREAT SHORT-HORN CATTLE SALE. 
The herd of Hon. Samuel Campbell, of New York Mills, New York, 
was sold on the 10th of the present month to distinguished breeders of 
America and Great Britain, who contested the possession of the famous 
Duchesses so warmly as to push prices to an unprecedented height. 
A marked degree of interest was manifested in this sale throughout 
England, from its first announcement. 
The following list, published in the Country Gentleman, (except an 
omission of a calf of Lady Bates 4th, which is added) and vouched for | 
as correct by the proprietor in a letter to this office, is placed on record 
as a notable matter of history for future reference:
