garden of Illinois, and would have been improved and occupied 
by the owner and his family, had not unexpected occurrences 
prevented.

FINE PURE BRED SHEEP FOR SALE. 
THE Subscriber being about to give up the farming business 
offers for sale his stock of Merino Sheep-—consisting of 54 pure 
bred Ewes—all with lamb by the celebrated Rambouillet buck 
Grandee, owned by the Rev. L. G. Bingham, of Williston, Vt. 
Also 50 lambs from the above mentioned ewes, got by the 
Rambouillet buck Chancellor, also Mt. Defiance, owned by 
Merrill Bingham, of Cornwall, Vt It is believed by the owner 
that they are fully equal to any flock of sheep in the country 
for raising stock. The ewes, aside from raising a lamb each, 
sheared last June upon an average 4 pounds and 4 ounces of 
well washed wool, perfectly clean from gum. The wool was sent 
to Sam’l Lawrence, of Lowell, and pronounced by him to be the 
right kind of Wool for our Farmers to raise—being the most 
profitable. Satisfactory certificates of the blood can be given.
