AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
29 
week will have been sold from the shambles, and “ played 
their part.” 
We are glad to make even a few exceptions to this herd of 
so-called “grass-hoppers.” We observed a drove of some 
50 cattle fromConnecticut which that State has no reason to 
be ashamed of. They were owned by Ezra Bartley, and 
were very large and in fine order. Another drove, 186 in 
number, belonged to Samuel Ulery, and came from Chester 
Co., Pa. They were young cattle, well fattened and the best 
in market. 
Best quality of beef sold to-day from 8>4c.©10c. per lb.; 
Inferior quality 7)4c.@8)4c. “ Critters ” sold from 6@7)4, 
and at any price.
