The fifty Sheep mentioned 
above were bought here for 
$181 25 from a sheep broker, and sold by me the next day 
for $262, 
being clear profit on 50 sheep, of $80 75. The 
market this week has been very dull, and the supply abun¬ 
dant. Lambs have been sold from 4 to 6 shillings per head 
less than 
last week. Good sheep are doing well. The 
week closes with a large supply on hand, and the demand 
light. Their stock is not worth the trouble and expense of 
bringing to market. Mutton

THE HORSE, THE HORSE, 
NOBLEST OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS, 
A ND THE ONE MOST FREQUENTLY ILL TREATED, 
neglected, and abused. We have just published a book 
so valuable to every man who owns a Horse, that no one 
should willingly be without it. It is entitled, 
THE MODERN HORSE DOCTOR, 
and is from the pen of that celebrated English Veterinary 
Surgeon, Dr. GEO. II. DADD, well known for many years in 
this Country, as one of the most successful scientific and pop¬ 
ular writers and lecturers in this branch of medical and 
surgical science. The book which lie now offers to the public 
is the result of many years’ study and practiced experience 
which few have had. 
From the numerous and strong commendations, of distin¬ 
guished men and the newspaper press, we select the follow¬ 
ing: 
Extracts from a letter from Hon. John II. Clifford, Ex-Gover¬ 
nor of Mass. 
New-Bedford, May 11, 1854. 
Dr. Dadd,—Dear Sir:—I hope your new work on the no¬ 
blest creature that man has ever been permitted to hold in 
subjection (the Horse) will meet with that success, which all 
your efforts in this direction so well deserve. 
Your obedient servant, 
John H. Clifford, 
From lion. Marshall P. Wilder, 
Boston, May 13,1854. 
Dr. Dadd,—M y Dear Sir :—I am greatly obliged to you for 
the valuable treatise, the results of your own investigations, 
which you have recently issued, hoping that it may meet 
with the patronage of a discriminating community, 
I remain yours with great regard, 
Marshall P. Wilder. 
The “ Modern Horse Doctor,” by Dr. G. H. Dadd, is a manual 
of genuine science, and ought to be owned and studied on the 
score of humanity, as well as interest, by every man who 
owns a horse.—Boston Congregationalism 
Dr. Dadd has had great experience in the cure of sick 
horses, and explains the secret of his success in this vol.—N. 
Y. Tribune. 
The author of this work is well known as a most skilful 
veterinary surgeon. Ilis book is based on the soundest com¬ 
mon sense, and as a hand-book for practical use, we know of 
uothing to compare with it.—Yankee Blade. 
We know Dr. Dadd well, and are satisfied that he possesses 
most important qualifications for preparing such a book as 
this.—New-England Farmer. 
Messrs. Jewett & Co. have just published a very valuable 
work by Mr. Dadd, a well-known veterinary surgeon, on the 
causes, nature and treatment of disease, and lameness in 
horses,—Farmer’s Cabinet. 
This is one of the most valuable treatises on the subject, ever 
published ; and no owner of that noblest of the animal race, 
the horse, should be without it. Especially should it be in the 
hands of every hotel and livery-stable keeper. To many a 
man would it be worth hundreds of dollars every year.—lnd. 
Democrat, Concord. 
By far the most learned and copious work on the horse and 
his diseases, we have ever seen.—N. Y. Evangelist. 
One of the greatest and most command able qualities of this 
work, is, it is practical and plain to the comprehension of 
those farmers and others for whom it is mainly designed. 
The course of treatment favors generally a more sanative 
and rational system of medication than that recommended 
in any previously existing works on farriery. No farmer or 
owner of a horse should be without this book. Stable keepers, 
stage proprietors and hackmen we believe would derive profit 
by having at least one copy hung up in their stables for use 
and reference by their stable men.—Daily News, Philadel¬ 
phia. 
There is more common sense in this book than any of the 
kind we have ever seen, and farmers and owners of horses 
would find it a matter of economy to possess themselves of 
it. It will be of more service than the counsel of a score of 
ordinary doctors.—Albany Courier. 
We deem this decidedly the best and most reliable work on 
the “ Cause, Nature, and Treatment of Disease and Lameness 
in Horses,” ever published.—Nantucket Inquirer. 
What we have read of this book induces us to regard it as 
a very sensible and valuable work; and we learn that those 
much more competent to judge of its value, have given it their 
unqualified approval.—Ev. Traveler, Boston. 
This book supplies a great desideratum which Skinner’s ad¬ 
mirable treatise on the Horse did not fill. Every man may 
be his own veterinary surgeon, and with much greater safety 
to this noble animal, than by trusting him to the treatment 
of the empirical itinerants who infest the country. It is well 
illustrated, and should be purchased by every man who owns 
a horse.—Ev. Mirror, N. Y. 
This is a book that should be forthwith put into the hands 
of all who own or drive horses, whether for the dray or gig, 
for the plow, omnibus or road, for hard service or pleasure.— 
McMaking’s Courier, Philadelphia. 
A good, clearly-written book, which should be in the hands 
of every man who has a horse whose ills his affection or his 
purse make it worth while to cure.—Bangor Mercury. 
This is a scientific, thorough and complete treatise upon the 
diseases to which one of the noblest of animals is subject, 
and the remedies which they severally require.—Troy Daiiy 
Budget. 
It is a valuable hook to those who have the care of horses.— 
Hartford Herald. 
He is not worthy to have a horse in his care, who will not 
use such a work to qualify himself for his duties to this ani¬ 
mal.—Commonwealth, Boston.
