GREAT SALE OF DURHAM CATTLE.

- GREAT SALE OF DURHAM CATTLE.
Mr.. MISUNDERSTANDING an admirer as
we'll as breeder of the "lmproved Durham
Short Horned" Cattle, | attended the late
public sale of. Hare Powell's celebrated
stock, consisting of bulls, cows and heifers,
in all twenty five, from eight days to ten
years Of age.
The animals were turned on to his lawn;
in front of his mansion, and seemed con.
scious Of their superiority, as they moved
about with all the majesty imaginable. They
were in fine condition; and showed off TO the
best advantage. -
"Whatcvcr differences ofopinion may pre-,
vail respecting the comparative merits oil our !
several breeds ofcattle,' says writer on
cattle, ''i. must be admitted, that the short
horns present themselves to notice under
circumstances of peculiar interest. Pos.
sessing in an eminent degree a comoina-
ton Of qualities, which have generally been
considered Incompatible, and rendered ire
sistably attractive to the eye, by their sPlen-
did frames and beautifully varied colors, i is
not surprising that they have realized Tor
their breclers enormous sums Of money;
and that throughout our own island, and IN
every foreign country where agriculture is
attended to. they are in increasing request.
The auciioneer's hammer has unequlyo-
calIy tested the estimation in which this
very superior breed of cattle are held, and
regret to say that Ohio and Kentucky are 70
receive pretty much all the benefits from
them. Although the prices would seem high
to some, still, they are much belowwhat the
same strain of blood could be purchased for
in England. had an opportunity OF exam
ining those imported by the Ohio company
last August, and think they would sufkr m.
comparison with Mr.. Powelrshera, although
they were beef.
Below is catalogue Of Mr.. Powelps sale
of sImproved Durham Short Horned" cat
tie, at Powclton, April 25th, 1885.

Here is an average Of three hundred and
fiity-four dollars per head, and one-thirl Of
them less than than one year old. This, l
believe, was the greatest sale of Durham
cat.ls ever made iu this country.

For tha Adrocate.

On the meeting in Carroll county. Mir. Editor, have few remarks to make.- They afe made more in the spirit of inqni- " as to certain men and psopelneats, than to 4nieriere with the rights of citizens to meet and consult on all subjects connected with she public good.
 The citizens that composed the meeting, though small In number, are entitled 10 re- gard, and from my knowledge of many of them, and their political prediection as re- gards the Presidential question, must, think, hasp acted under the impulse of the moment, or from the solicitation of some one immediately interested in the nomna- ton. Ofthis judge from the effort made in our county, the notice of which you did the Carolina Farmer a Jleasttre in publish ing, think i,ropri may see ,sii,ai Is 10 De done for the poor, agaorant, fia7a- ing community, by the Sinson Pure dsmo- cracg Of Arkansas, who are requested by the regular organized and stipendary press (the Gazeite,) to nominate certain men for high poliiica! stations, that belong to the Kinderhook Yankee nominee for the Pre- sdency; who. Mir. Editor, in addition 10 their former stock of Federalism, have uni ted with them the old Federal leader John c. Adams. Yet we are told by the Ga zette that no man can be Republican un- less he belongs to the Van Buren party--a party made up of pensioned office holders, aboliiionlsts, antl-masons, and all the frag- ments that belonged to the old Federal Fan9ss-Adams thrown in of late. to render the party a little more pure, if possible. The day once was, when to be denomna- ted a Republican, Democrat, was an honor-vIewed now as connected with certain party, it is reproaeh. The Van Buren organ halls the Carroll county nomi. nee as tire candidate ofthe Republican par ty-what pariyl Van Buren, Adams & Go. If so, Judge Yell IS compelled 10 lose ma ny supporters among lis personal friends, and all should reflect much on the subject, and not suffer themselves while opposed to the Baltimore nominee, to be cajoied by the smiling attention of certain gentlemen to enlist Their feelings and give their support for candidate who will only laugh at them afler he Is in power Gor their poilical i.nhe- ciIity.
 For one, would say, that the citizens of the several counties should not be too has, ty in coincidng with the nomination made by d small number of citizens of Carroll coanty. The Gazelte and Times have sanctioned the nomination, and suppose have better knowledge of Judge Tells politics than many of us farmers; but time, Mir. Editor, will tell all things.

 Going .4heod General Harrison has been nominated by the Kentucky Legis- lature and the Vefmont Ami Masonic Con veniion. An intelligent friend at Washing. ton says "Gen. Harrison Is regarded here by boih and ali parties, as most iormidable candidate for the Presidency; as destined to receive much the largest electoral vote. He will get Pennsylvania, Kentucky, every North Western state, South Carolina, and three or four of the New England States. If the opposition had consented or were now to consent 10 consenirate on him, his election would hardly be doubtful. You will hardly believe it perhaps, but can assure you that 1t is far from certain whe- ther Van Buren and Johnson can carry N. York against him and Granger. Under the anpearance of fourishing vigorously. Van Burenism is rotten al heart, and will have short race. Nothing gives il vitality but the favor of General Jackson, and the acliv- fly of the office holders.
