Young Cleveland, 



THIS truly beautiful and valuable Horse is of the 

 Cleveland bay breed of horses, of trno even temper, Hve 

 years old the 20th of May, fifteen and a half hands high, 

 and of a beautiful dark bay color, wilh bl.ack mane, tail 

 and legs. He walks and trots remarkably easy and fast; 

 and is equalled by very few.for muscular strength, ele- 

 gant movement.fand perfect symmetry of form. 



He has proved himself a sure and first rate foal getter. 

 The colts sired by him possess a great share of bone and 

 muscle. 



The pedigree of Young Cleveland : — He was sired by 

 the celebrated bay horse. Sir Isaac, the son of the noted 

 horse, Molineux. Sir Isaac was presented to the Agri- 

 culturil Society of this State, by Sir Isaac Coffin, and 

 was selected under his order as superior of his breed, and 

 the breed recommended by him as the most highly es- 

 teemed for gentlemen's carriages, and all draft, farming, 

 and saddle purposes, of any horses in New England. — 

 His dam was a first rate and high spirited native mare. 

 He will stand the ensuing season, at the stable of the sub- 

 ecrilier, in Franklin. 



Terms : — Three dollars the single leap ; fire for the 

 season ; and eight to insure the mare with foal ; the 

 money to be paid when the mares are taken away, on 

 notes given payable the 1st October next. Those per- 

 sons who put mares to the Young Cleveland and have 

 them warranted, and part with the

Garden Compound, 



For the preservation of Peach and other Fruit Trees. 



This is thought to be an infallible preservative of the 

 Peach, Plum, and other fruit trees, from the destructive 

 worms and insects which in the spring attack and de- 

 stroy the vitality of the tree. By a proper application of 

 the compound, insects will not deposit their eggs in the 

 bark. This article will not harden in the sun, but re- 

 main liquid for several months, in this respect it is vastly 

 superior to any other compositioa in use. 



Prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, by John M. 

 Ives, Salem; and John B. Russell, No. 50J North 

 Market Street, Boston. 



Price, 33 cents per bottle, with directions for its use.

Conqueror. 



THE entire horse Conqueror will stand the ensuing 

 season at the Ten Hills Stock farm in Charlestown, two 

 and a half miles from Boston, at ten dollars, to insure a 

 mare in foal, secured by a note at ten months, to be valid 

 and payable in case the mare proves to have been in foal, 

 and one dollar to the groom at the time of covering. 



Conqueror was bred near Montreal (Canada) foaled in 

 May, 1823, and sired by a noted Normandy horse out of a 

 blood Mare — he is rising 15 hands high and remarkably 



ell grown, combining great power, generous spirits 



before foaling time, I good action, very docile in his temper, and of that hardy 



or neglect to bring their mares regularly to the horse' I color, iron gray. This horse has taken three premiums 



through the season, will be considered holden for insu- '« Canada, as the best horse in that country. He has 



ranee money. ELI M. RICHARDSON.

 ing, of the strains of blood so well known in N. E. by the 

 name of " the Morgan breed" — from the best accounts

 14 Beef Cattle remained unsold at the close of the market.

 best qualities were well supported ; perhaps a little bet- 

 ter prices were obtained, but on the thinner qualities (of 

 which there was a large proportion) a depreciation. We

 — two were sold at 45, and two (without calves) for 2l). 



Sheep — Those at market were sheared, and were taken 

 at $3 each. 



Swine — Former prices were well supported, but sales 

 not so brisk. We noticed several lots taken at 5 c for 

 sows and 6 for barrows ; at retail, 6 c for sows and 7 c for 

 barrows. 



New York, May 25. — In market this week 350 Beef 

 Cattle, a short supply, and all sold quick at an advance of 

 25 c per hundred on last week's prices ; the average this 

 week $4,61 a 7,25. We quote 6,50 a 8 ; a few prime 

 cattle sold over this amount. Cows and Calves — sales at 

 ,$18 a 35. Sheep scarce and sell quick at .$3 a 6; lambs 

 2,50 a 4. Live Hogs — the few that arrive sell quick at 

 4 a 4,25 per hundred. — Daily Adv.
