I mproved short horn bull for 
SALE.^—The subscriber offers for sale his superior Short 
Horn Bull, PRINCE ALBERT, that won the second prize at 
the recent State Fair held in the City of New-York. 
Prince Albert was calved in 1849; his pedigree is of much mer¬ 
it ; in color, he is a deep red with white marks; in temper, ex¬ 
tremely mild and easily managed. He is an excellent stock- 
getter, and would not now be offered for sale, but. that the sub¬ 
scriber, in the system of breeding he has adopted, has no further 
need of his services. 
Under these circumstances, lie is lor sale at the low price of 
three hundred dollars. The animal may be seen at Ellerslie 
farm, one mile south of Rhinebeclc station. Address personally, 
or by letter, WILLIAM KELLY, 
60-tf Ellerslie, Rhinebeck.

York, Mr. EDWARD BOSSANGE, No. 138 Pearl-st., who will

ing of three boars and two sows. Price—$20 each.

the pigs ; which will be well boxed, and sent by express or oth¬ 
erwise, as desired. W. P. & C. S. WAlNwRIGHT,

M ULES FOR SALE.—The subscriber 
keeps constantly on hand 400 to 500 MULES, of all sizes. 
Among these are some of the choicest animals in the United 
States ; 16 hands and over in height, and well proportioned. 
Mules are almost the only working animals used in portions of 
the Southern States, the West Indialslands, and Spanish posses¬ 
sions, where severe work and hard usage are allotted them, and 
under which horses would soon die. An equal advantage would 
follow their introduction among farmers and others, in the 
northern States. They are not only much hardier than horses, 
but they will draw more in proportion to their weight; will en¬ 
dure a great deal more; live twice as long, and eat less; and the 
only dressing or currying they need, is a soft place to roll on. 
They are gentle, tractable, and easily managed ; and nobody who 
has ever tried them will ever give them up for horses or oxen.
