GREAT SALE OF ELECTORAL SAXON

The undersigned will sell at vendue, the two flocks of pure Elec¬

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 I 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.”
