Syracuse Nurseries. 
Thorp, Smith if Hanchett , Proprietors, Syracuse , N. Y. 
F IFTY acres of the fertile soil of Onondaga Co. are occupied by 
the proprietors of these nurseries in the cultivation of fruit trees 
alone, embracing almost every desirable variety of Apple, Pears, 
Peach, Plum, Cherry, Apricot and Nectarine. Trees sent from 
their nurseries are universally admired for their vigorous^ healthy, 
and youthful growth,—the best guarantee to the purchaser of a 
rapid advance to largeness of size, and beauty of form,—and it is 
the aim of the proprietors to be able to supply those who may fa¬ 
vor them with their orders with a quality of trees always superior. 
Among their varieties of the apple, they have many thousands 
of the justly celebrated Northern Spy, from seven to nine feet 
in height, which they will continue to supply, as heretofore, in an 
assortment with others, at the same rate. Where the selection is 
left to them, a portion of the Northern Spy is always included. 
They cultivate largely, also, the Hawley , the Green Sweeting, the 
Ladies' 1 Sweeting , Peck's Pleasant, Swaar, Baldwin, Spitzenburg, 
in short, all of the best standard varieties, early and late. Among 
forty of the choicest kinds of pears, they have large sized and well 
formed trees of the Onondaga , Oswego Beurre, and Van Mon's Leon 
Le Clerc. Of cherries, peaches, plums, &c., their nurseries in¬ 
clude, in large numbers, all that are most desirable. Purposely 
limiting their varieties of fruit trees to those only that are of ap¬ 
proved worth, their Catalogue will be found to contain scarcely 
one that ranks below “ first rate " Persons desiring to buy at 
wholesale , can be supplied on the most .liberal terms, and q/m de¬ 
pend upon obtaining selections of the best varieties, as well as 
trees of the finest growth. 
The proprietors have been much gratified by the constantly in¬ 
creasing demand for their trees,from the Eastern part of this state, 
and from New England; and in soliciting a continuance of favors 
from those quarters, they pledge themselves that the productions, 
of their nurseries shall not forfeit the partiality which is so flatter¬ 
ingly bestowed upon them. 
Much care is given to the packing of trees, so that they can be 
transported with safety to any distance. 
Catalogues may be obtained at the apothecary store of M. W. 
Hanchett, between the Railroad and Syracuse House ; and by 
p. st-paid application to the proprietors.

Sale of Hereford Cattle. 
T ’HE Messrs. Bingham, of Vermont—brothers—propose to sell 
at public auction, on the Show Ground of the New-York State 
Fair at Syracuse, from ten to twenty head of Hereford Cattle, 3 
years old and under—bulls and heifers. Our cattle—Herefords— 
to found our herd, were purchased of Messrs. Corning and So- 
tham, about three years ago. We have been disposed to give 
these cattle a fair trial, to see what their merits would prove to be, 
before offering them to the public. We have come to the conclu¬ 
sion that no race of cattle can compete with them when all their 
good qualities are taken into consideration. We are resolved to 
push ahead in the cultivation of the Herefords, as being a race, 
affording the best profits for keep and care, and proving themselves 
first class cattle for all the purposes of the breeder. They make 
a noble cross with the Durhams or their grades, as well as with the 
native stock, showing a great and decided improvement. We of¬ 
fer these cattle to the public with the strong conviction that they 
will prove a desirable acquisition to any herd. 
PURE BRED MERINO SHEEP. 
We shall also offer at private sale, a large lot of pure bred Me¬ 
rino Sheep, from imported sires. The breeders of sheep will do 
well to look over our flocks, before purchasing elsewhere. We 
sell no mongrels, or grades, or woithless sheep for great prices ;— 
but we mean to deal fairly with those who purchase of us, aud sell 
them our best blooded sheep, at fair remunerating prices—so that 
they shall prove a. decided improvement to the flocks with which 
they may be placed.

HORSE AND CATTLE MEDICINES. 
Don't permit your Horses or Cattle to die, when the means of cure 
are within the reach of all! 
'THE undersigned has spent 
several years in the study 
of Veterinary practice in 
“London and Edinborol,” he 
has also availed himself of the 
researches of Liebig, and oth- ’ 
er celebrated men, who have 
contributed so much towards 
a judicious treatment of ani¬ 
mals. The principles of our 
practice consist in the rejec¬ 
tion of general bleeding, and 
the total rejection of all me¬ 
dicines that experience has 
shown tobe of a dangerous tendency These remedies act in har¬ 
mony with the vital principle, and when given according to the di¬ 
rections which accompany each article, they are capable of ex¬ 
citing and increasing the natural functions, without diminishing or 
destroying their power, hence are safe in the hands of every one
