NEW- YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
At Market.— 1,500 Beef Cattle, (1,300 southern, the remainder 
irom this state and east,) 50 Cows and Calves, and 4.000 Sheep 
end Lambs . ' 
Beef Cattle.— The market is firm in prices. The sales run 
from $7 to $9 per hundred. The number of head on hand, 
unsold, is estimated at 175. 
Cows and Calves— These vary from $22.50 to $47.50. 
Sheep and Lambs.— Sheep sold at 62% cents to $5.50 each ; 
Lambs a* $1.50 to $3.75. The number left unsold, 700. 
Remarks.— The past has been a very dull month and no 
change scarcely in prices. 
The weather continued quite cold for the season till the 15th 
of June, when it came on hot. Although every thing is back- 
ward, still the crops are promising. Wheat and Rye never 
looked better. The former ^is now harvesting at the south, 
and turns out finely. Grass is very heavy on the ground. 
Potato and other root crops are growing well. Of fruit, we 
have good prospects. 
The Cholera is among us, but in so mild a form as to occa- 
sion but few deaths and little alarm. No one has anything 
to fear who takes good care of himself.

from James B. Davis, A. L. Elwvn, C, Solon Robinson, C. R.,

VIRGINIA LANDS. 
THE attention of Northern Farmers who wish to purchase 
in Fairfax County, Va., is invited particularly to two farms 
for sale, three miles east from Fairfax Court House, thirteen 
from Alexandria, and fourteen from the city of Washington. 
There are no buildings on either tract, but, by following the 
custom of the country, comfortable and temporary ones can be 
cheaply built. The soil is well adapted to farming purposes, 
and there is timber on them, near two sawmills. 
These farms would sell in the north, for from $50 to $100 
per acre, and can be bought here in a more pleasant and 
healthy climate, one for eight, the other ten dollars per acre, 
on easy terms, and a good title given. 
Further information given, if requested, by T. R. Love, trus 
tee, cither personally, or by letter, (postage paid,) directed to 
Fairfax Court House, Va.
