A PRESENT TO THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.—
OR Thursday morning last a fine bull of the Ayrshire breed
was despatched from the railway station, Windows*,
to be shipped off to France for the Emperor of the French.
This noble animal is • present from 8. Taylor, En , of
Ibbonholme, to Lads Napoleon. It was decanted with
the badges of smuts= het-clam prises gained at
various agricultural shows. Mr. Taylor has, we understand,
exhibited at various agricultural exhibitions in France, and
on one occasion he had a bull of the Ayrshire breed, which
was to have been purchased by the Emperor, but, owing to
some inadvertency, of the nature of which we sre sot ap-
prised, it was brought home again. Mr. Taylor, being of
opinion that exhibitions on the agricultural field Mind a more
honourable rivalry than • contest on the field of battle with
rills and ammo, proffered his gift to his Imperial Majesty,
which wee et once most graciously sad frankly accepted.
The animal now forwarded is of the same stock, and a very
near relative to that which was in the first instance to have
bosoms the Emperor's property.—Kesehl Mercury.
