Improved Fowls foi- Sale. 



HAVING kept fir .several years the very best fowls to be 

 procured, and having the past sea.son added to my stock 

 some exceedingly beautifiil specimens, I have now a great 

 number of fine young pairs, certainly as good as can be 

 (bund in the country, which I will sell at a much lower 

 price than that charged by fowl-dealers. I will sell the fol- 

 lowing varieties at five dollars per pair : 



White ShangJuB, Black /Sfianghco, Ihijf Shan ghee, and 

 OocJiin China; and JSnthma Pooira, and Speckled ShcMi^ 

 gha'~% (a very beautiful bird), at ten dollars per pair. 



These fowls will be ready for delivery by the first of 8ep- 

 temlx^r, and I will coop them carefidly, with feed, water, 

 Ac, and send by railroad or express, as desired, without 

 charge, and warrant every fowl sent to be pure and fine. 

 Orders are solicited. Wit. VICK.
