BEMENT’S AMERICAN HOTEL, 
No. 100 State street, Albany, 
Is now open for the reception of company, having undergone a 
thorough repair and complete renovation from the cellar to the at¬ 
tic. It lias been newly furnished throughout, and in quality of 
beds, cleanliness, and airy rooms, will now compare with any other 
establishment in the city. 
In location, this house has many advantages, being situated in 
the centre, and on one of the most beautiful streets in the city; 
within a few moments’ walk of the Eastern and Western Railroad 
Depots and the landing of the Steamboats : about midway between 
the Capitol, Public Offices and the Banks, Post-Office, and the busi¬ 
ness parts of the city ; rendering it very convenient for the man of 
business, as well as the gentleman of leisure. 
The subscriber places much reliance on the countenance and 
support of the Agriculturists throughout the Union, who may 
visit the city, and pledges himself to spare no exertions to render 
their stay agreeable, should they favor him with their company. 
Three Hills Farm will be carried on as usual, under my own su¬ 
perintendance, by a careful manager, and the breeding and rearing 
of improved stock will be continued as heretofore.

GREAT SALE OF ELECTORAL SAXON 
SHEEP. 
The undersigned will sell at vendue, the two flocks of pure Elec - 
toral Saxon Sheep, belonging to the estate of the late Henry 1). 
Grove, as follows: 1st. That at Granger, Medina county, Ohio, 
consisting of about 400 sheep, on the 30th Sept., next, on the farm 
now occupied by them. 2d. The home flock, at his late residence 
in Hoosick, Rensselaer county, N. Y., consisting of about 350 
sheep, on the 15th Oct., next. A rare opportunity is offered to 
those who may be anxious to improve the quality of their flocks. 
The following is the opinion of the distinguished manufacturer who 
has usually purchased Mr. Grove’s wool, of the character of these 
flocks:— 
“ The purest blood in this country was introduced by the late 
Mr. Grove in his own flocks, the wool of which.! have been famil¬ 
iar with since their importation in 1827. In point of fineness and 
admirable felting qualties, this wool is unsurpassed by any flock in 
this country, and the fleeces average about half a pound each more 
than any other I am acquainted with.”
