GREAT SALE or BLooDED CATTLE.--An n
auction sale OF bIooded cattle came off at
Auburn, N. Y, on the 9Th, on the farm Of
Col. Sherwood. Every animal offered bro't
price higher than that at which the owner
put them up.
A large collection of prominent stock
growers and farmers were present from New
York. Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and other
States. The stock was in fine order, re-
hecting great credit upon Col. Sherwood :,
as a breeder Of fine animals. The celebrat.
ed auctioneer, Col. Miller, OF New York
oficiated, and earned reputation equal TO
Dir. Stafford, the famous short horn auction
eer, of England.
Before the sale, beautiful COLLATION. was
spread in the barn OF Col. s., superntended
in dignided and easy style by the daugh-
ter OF the host. The bids Afterwards made,
showed there were no empty stomacbs in the
company, and upon the part OF guest and
cattle, there was decidedly "fat time"
Eighteen COWS were sold, bringing in
the aggregate 1920
Eleven Bulls bringing 1850

! Among the purchasers, we noticed Mr.. J..
/ 7. Brasee, of Lancaster, Ohio, bought three
cows and one bull. The animals were dis
tributed by the sale as follows: Ten to New
York; two to Illinois; two to Pennsylvania; /;
one to Canada; five to Wisconsin; two 10

This is new feature in the history Of
stock growing, and more than any other in
cidents shows the progress of cattle raising
IN this country. Attention for long time
has been giving by few farmers-com.

ing Of fine cattle, and it has been found to
be one of the most profitable branches of az.
ricuture. The great expense attendant up.
on the introduction of booded animals int
the country, has been the serious drawback
to small farmers, but the breeding OF the
bleoded cattle in this country for pulic sale
will soon obviate the difficulty, and enable
all cattle fanaiers either upon a large OF
small scale, to crafty their inclination and
taste, and at the same time put money in
the purse.
The idea OF bountiful collation. in a spa.
cious, well-swept barn, is novel; it has
fresh, countryfed, hearty air about it; an ca
sy buxom, homemade bread atmosphere
which is refreshing. What happy dav
will that be, when political blrbacues vii
be voted out of fashion, and every farmer
Will be able to ask his neighbors to banquet
in his barn!
Sweet cream, thick enough to stand alone
fresh new grass butter, not strong, but saYo

A PoPULAK CoMMoB CoUEciL.-The
New York Common Council have made
themselves so odious to the public estima-
tion by their shameless public conduct, that
the ordinary marks of respect are denied
them in decent society. AT a railroad cele-
bration last week, when the usual standing
toast of "the Common Council" was given,
the company universally broke out into a
loud and condemnatory hiss. Such marks
of public favor are seldom accorded to any
fnnctionaries.

0N-Here is Il rare chance for a magnif-

y. The President has appointed man as
Postmaster, at Springfield, who was de-
faulter when the Wings came into power.
He was sued. judgment obtained against
him forabout eight hundred dollars, and ex-
ecution issued. In the face Of all these
facts, this same man is re-appointed Post
master. The Cincinnati Enquirer, Ohio
statesman, and all such virtuously inclined
and indignant papers, will no doubt make a
fuss about it. When defaulters are thus
rewarded and petted, it is easy to see what
the end will be when the present admins

0<TAt Steubenville, Ohio, the most infe-
rior qualities of wool, says the Herald, are
readily bringing from35 to 45 cents per ID.
The clip is slow in coming in, bringing re-
munerative prices, and from 5 to l5 per
cent advance on former purchases. The
Union, of the same place, says that 45@50
cents is offered for Z and full blood. Sell
ers ask 5000. This variance induces
growers to hold on to their clips. We learn
that the same diversity of views prevail
generally throughout that section.

outworks of Mr.. Burgess affections, by
the coup de main which bis friend Warren
(famous for having the pck-lock to all
hearts) had taught him; so, at the first
pause Of talk, Davis having meantime slip
ped away,) he would explain to Mr. d. that
he had been led to desire an introduction to
him by long familiarity and a profound sd-
mira tion Of his productions. At this, the
lofty head was, oi course, but in modest ac-
knowledgment,and the severity Of the classic
features was relaxed into suavity. The un-
whiting accomplice, to press the advantage
he had gained, would then proceed: "There
is one admirable discourse of yours, sir,
which has always given me particular de-
light by its philosophical eloquence, hardly
exceeded by any thing by Lord Bacon him
self: mean that magnificent address which
begins: "Guided by reason, man has ira
versed the illimitable fields OF space" /
need not say how, at this, Mr.. Burgess
countenance fell; how. for an instant, he
glared upon his .admirer; but presently per-
ceiving that both had been imposed upon
knew at once from what hand the blow of
mischief had come, and broke forth, to his
votary's astonishment, into execrations up
on Warren Davis.

The SEwER.-There is a large class OF
people who employ themselves almost con-
stanty sneering at the efforts Of others
Nothing done by neighbor suits them.--
lfyou perform an act Of charity, they ques-
ton your motives; il you exhibit skill in
your profession, they pretend to regard you
an overated man; If you produce something
decidedly meritorious, they ridicu le and
depreciate its worth, and If you originate a
thought or machine, they declare you pla-
giarist. In their estimation your writings
are stupid, and full of tautology; your con-
versation unproftable; the work OF your
hands Valueless. And yet ask them to do
what you aimed at, and failed in, according
to them, and they have not even the ability
to try. They are ell, in fact what they
feign you to be, and unit for every thing bu t
faull-fnding, crying down people Of merit
and standing worth. They are envious
jealous, and full OF cant. Incapable of do
ing what you do, and therefore envious Of
your talent; too dull to command respect,
and. consequently jealous ofthat you receive;
incompetent TO produces thought, and al
ways ready to carp at what you express
They are Of the race of Diogenes, without

honesty Of purpose. Heed them moi, reader
they are harmless, when treated with con-
tempt; and ifyou ask where they are to be
found, look around-your circle of acquain-
tance viii furnish one, no doubt Of the class.
The 100000 TRANSFER DRAFT.-The
following from the n. Y. Express, explains
the condition and circumstances connected
with the transfer draft, about which the en-
emies of Mr.. Corwin are making so much
ado. 1t passed into the hands Of WIN. l..
Miner, (late clerk Of the U. S. District Court
of Ohio,) some two years since, and was de-
posted. as is alleged, in the Clinton Bank
of Columbus, just prior to the failure Of the
Insurance Company, which caused the win
ding up Of the Bank named. Suit was soon
after instituted for It's recovery, and a por-
ton of the amount has been paid.
Here is what the Express says, in explain
alton oi the matter:
at is fact that there is an outstanding
transfer Of 100000, issued by Mr.. Corwin
to persons who were at the time considered
perfectly trustworthy, but who have failed
to comply with their engagements, .and Mr.
Corwin Instituted suit more than year. since,
against perfectly solvent Institution, which
became liable for the amount; and so far
from this sum being probable loss to the
Treasury, there is little doubt but that the
whole amount will be realized at an early
dare. Ofthe many millions transferred BY
Mr. Corwin during his administration Of the
Treasury Department, this, we understand
is the only one with which there has been
any difficulty.
