NEW OXFORDSHIRE SHEEP. 
We would respectfully invite the particular attention of breed- 
ers of long-wool Sheep to the sale, by auction, advertised on the 
fourth page of the cover of this Journal, of twenty-five yearling 
bucks of the New Oxfordshire breed, by Clayton B. Reybold, 
Esq., which is to take place at Marsh Mount, near Delaware 
City, Delaware, on the 2d day of August next. These bucks are 
represented of the purest blood and of the finest beauty of form, 
true to character and of magnificent growth. This will afford a 
rare opportunity to those persons in possession of the Coteswold, 
Lincoln, and New Leicester, to improve their flocks with such 
sheep as are not to be found elsewhere in this country. 
Our northern friends could not have failed to observe the two 
very large and superior bucks of this new breed of sheep, which 
were exhibited, and carried the first prize at the meeting of the 
New York State Agricultural Society at Saratoga Springs last fall. 
Mr. Reybold writes us that the old imported buck " is much 
finer now than he was at Saratoga; he weighs 40 lbs. more now 
than he did then. I think if he keeps on improving, as he has 
done, he will weigh 400 lbs. next Christmas." 
SALE OF DURHAM CATTLE BY AUCTION. 
By referring to the advertisement of Mr. Wilkinson, on the 
fourth page of the cover of this number, it will be seen that the 
herd formerly belonging to Mr. James Gow-en, will be sold at 
auction. The character of this herd is so well known that it is 
needless for us to say anything in its favor. We however, recom- 
mend those wishing to purchase choice animals, to attend, as we 
are informed by Mr. W. that they will be sold without reserve.
