according to the height of tho fall, the size of the stream, and

85 feet. Prices from $12 to $16—pipe extra. For prices of lead

veyed.

the recent imported flock of John A. Taimor, Esq., of Hartford. 
Conn.—25 bucks, one year old last, spring, from the above ewce, 
sired by the Rambouillet buck Chancellor, and 50 lambs, the 
increase of Iasi year, sired by the celebrated Rambouillet buck 
Grandee, now owned by the Rev. L. C. Bingham, of this place.

of constitution, they are excelled by no Merinos in the country.

SHORT-HORN STOCK FOR SALE. 
THE Subscriber has a few Young Thorough bred Durhams on 
his farm, two and a half miles from this city, which he offers for 
sale, viz.: 1 Two-year old Bull; 1 Yearling Bull; 2 do about 8 
months old ; 6 Yearling Heifers ; 2 Two-year-old Heifers ; and a 
few Spring Calves (bulls and heifers). These young animals 
were all got by his imported Bates bull, Duke ofWellir.gton, and 
his premium bull. Meteor ; also, a Bates bull, got by the bull 
Duke of Wellington, out of Duchess. 
The dams of some of these young animals are from imported 
cows (other than from the Bates breed), ami from Durham cows 
bred in this country, and good milkers. The sires being from 
the celebrated herd of Thomas Bates, Esq , renders them valua¬ 
ble as a cross on other Durhams, as well as to farmers who wi h 
improved stock. The estimation put upon this strain of blood by 
those who are acquainted with it, can be appreciated, by stating 
that the only bull calves, which I have had to dispose of, from 
Bates bulls and cows (three in number), hav^’been sold at 
$300 each. 
These animals will be sold at prices ranging from $100 to $150.
