Sale he advertises on the Goth inst
Mr.. VAIL has forwarded to us few Of his
Catalogues of the Sale, which contain, in addi-
ton to the list and pedigree of the Stock, yau-
able suggestions in regard to breeding, which
will prove eminently useful to those of our
Farmers who may be aiming at Improvement.
We have left these Catalogues at the Agrcul-

who read them will see in what high estima>

them, but "the ex gencics of the tines" the
alleged instability of this beloved Union, the
movements, in certain sections, towards its dis

call on the WuIGs OF VERMONT, (among its
