Ha has a single buck at home called 'Old Grimes,'which he v*lues at fivo thous and dollars (5,000 dols.), upwards of Ll.ooo sterling, and does not desire to sell him for even that large sum." Mr Campbell, the brtelcr of thesa cele brated sheep, writes xegarJing them, as com pared with the best European breads, as fol lows:—"The Vermont uheep nre shorter in the lgs, rounder in the rib, broader in tho chest, det-per in this loiau, longtr in the slapla than the German and French breeds, and with tho same care will yk'ld a mach heavier fletcc. From tho introduction to my farm of come of the best specimens from Spain, Frnnce, and Germany, I have comu to the conclusion that the Vermont merinoes aro the best shesp for tho practical wool grower, and that they are belter calculated to rough it, being able to stand a larger amount of hardship than other breeds." This breed of sheep is descended from the celebrated " Spanish Merino," in a direct line, and through all tho time thesa Bheep have bean in America tliay have been carefully guarJtd from any Admixture with foreign bloo 1, all the tx:elli!ncies that tho Spanish Merino is so cekbm.tctl for, are fully de veloped in this consignment. For symmetry of form, and length and beauty of wool, they are ucequ»lleJ. Floo^masters who may de sire to improve their flocks by the intioduc tion of new blooi should avail themselves of j this opportunity, as the importers have de cided that they will not import further ship ments.
