Great Sale of Ayrshire Cattle. 
M R. ROBERT GRAY ,Oak-Park,Fredericton New-Bruns- 
rvick, will sell at auction on Friday, 21st July. 1854, at 
11 o’clock forenoon, at his farm, his surplus stock of pure

1 Two year old bull, 
1 Three year old bull, 
10 Heifer and bull calves, ■ 
6 Yearling heifers, 
4 Two year old heifers, 
1.2 Cows of various ages. 
Mr. Gray came to this country from Ayrshire, five years 
ago, with a selected stock of choice Aryshire cattle, from 
which the above have been bred. They will be. found equal 
to anything that could he imported, and have the advantage 
of being acclimated. The bulls and young stock are descend¬ 
ed from the celebrated bull “ Jock the Laird,” for which 
three hundred guineas were paid. All are warranted pure. 
A proportion of each lot will be sold without reserve, and 
the whole if there is sufficient competition. 
Catalogues with full pedigrees will be furnished previous 
to the sale.

Thrashing Machines, 
With late improvements, Circular and Cross-cut Wood Saws, 
Clover Hullers and Cleaners . §c,, are made at Central 
Bridge , Schoharie county, Neiv- York, by G. WESTING- 
HOUSE CO. 
O UR RAILROAD HORSE POWER AND OVER- 
shot Thrasher have obtained the reputation of being the 
best machine for thrashing in use, wh^ere they have been 
compared with others. We have made such improvements 
in the THRASHER as to entirely prevent the dust and grain 
from flying into the feeder’s face when feeding the machine. 
The RiDDLE has also been improved by attaching a straw 
shaker to it, which is simple in construction and efficient in 
its operation, making it One of the most perfect separators of 
the kind known. 
Our SEPARATOR (a combined thrasher and cleaner,) has 
the distinguished reputation of being a superior machine. 
Our WOOD SAWS are made in the most convenient form 
for sawing wood. 
Our CLOVER MACHINE hulls and separates the seed 
from the chaff at the same time. 
These machines are all warranted to work to the satisfac¬ 
tion of the purchaser, or they oan be returned and the pur¬ 
chase money refunded. Our paces will be for 1854, as fol¬ 
lows :—
