MORE DURHANS FOR OHIO.

The Society of Shskess ct Lebanon Ohio, have O.
length caught the spirit Of Improvement that Is adding
millions of dollars to the wealth Of that State and are in
porting English improved stock.
Nv the shin John Bull which left Liverpool Nay 10th
and arrived here on Wednesday July 49, there came for
that Society very valuable collection Of shor horned
cattle comprising young bulls, from eight months to
two years old and ten and heers, from one to ioar
yens old; also Leicester sheep This LOTS imported
by the Society for the improvement Of their own scck
Some Of the finest specimens Of tbs Importation cost over
two hundred pounds sterling EACH and viii cost the own
ere by the time they reach their western home about M
teen hundred dollars head Such enterprise On behalf
of the Shakers viii forever put to rest the aspeions
arising from the affinity to old ussg and old sgrieulsu
raj implements though it admitted that they are slow to
adopt many Of the newfangied inventions claiming not
always with justice, to rank 80 improvements.
The stock Just arrived from the extensive herd OF
prize cattle belonging TO James Douglas, Esq, OF Athei
stsneford East Lothian, Scotland, gentleman who has
entered largely into tho breeding of booasd eaie and
has met with unusual winning over two huodred
frs, prizes offered by various agricultural sosietes
throughout Great Britain. There cattle are now landed
and may be for day or two before their departure
for the West at the foot of Eghteenths, North River,
In shed opposte the House. Notwithstanding their
voyage was protracted to 50 days they in excellent
condition.
The agent of the owners here, r. Cornell White, No,
II Joln-st informs that they will by the Ere Rail
road to Dunkrk soon they are little rested from
TIE fatigue OF the voyage which proved very long one
for this Of the year. Tho TO be very
substantial one aud pretty dry aud from her width OF
beam the cattle had stall-room than they
times obliged TO occupy.
We understand they amply provsoned for sixty
DAYS and their comfort well cared for possible by
their late owner who took upon himself to make all the
arrangements for shipping.
The Markiaae Express says
Tho buying of the best shorhorned cattle for Amer
lea together with the increased value of and demand TOR
the best sorts Of feeding cattle at home have Of late won
derfully increased the value of really superior animals,
and this description present worth more money than
they have been at any former period, which mast
have the effect of giving direction and incentive TO
breeders of this most interesting and valuable specs oil
cattle 10 breed from nothing but the best on ecr sde
These shipments Of the best cattle more ikly 10 In
crease than diminish at least for years TO come; and
4, not improbable that the result will be that in the oag
run breeders in the parent country will find necessary
and their advantage to select their her-buls IN the
New World"
That is not ut all improbable. There is no ason why
we should not raise cattle to export to Eope instead OF
being importers We only want the seed and some Of the
spirit of English breeders.
We have been furnished by Mr. White, the importing
agent with the following list Of the and prices paid
for the shorthorned Durham cattle imported by the united
Society of Shakers at Lebanon Ohio, in the ship John
