The pre- eminehce oar county has at
tanned in breeding improved Sheep and
horses is fact we may regard with pride
and complaccncy. 1t is position which
has been attained, by ptrscvcring use
of skill and money, and which We are
abundantly repaid by the constant con.
tributions we receive from abroad, to
say nothing of the greatot consideration,
of increased profits in our domestic hus
bandry. 1t is almost impossible to ex.
aggerate the advantages Of improved
stock and those who have gone farthest
in that direction, see most clearly their
shortcomings. Almost any expenditure
judiciously applied, is sure to be romun,
erative. 1t is an inexhaustable field and
may be fifty compared TO those mines
which grow richer tho deeper they are
worked
In purity and excellence of sheep and
hoiscs, we excel every other section Of
our own perhaps Of the world,
1t is hoped our position in these re-
spccts will be maintained and continual

hope ofexciting any increased interest in
these departments, that we advert to the
subject now.
But in the matter of cattle, we are far
behind what We might and should be-
This must be very evident to every OBJ

Now and then some of the brethren of
the Press, usually of the weaker sort,
have fund fault with us in our political
course and seemed to think we were lub
fishing paper mainly to please them.
We did not put in quite pepper and
powder enough, before election; We were
old fogyish, and did not abuse the other
party quite layshly enough. All this
proceeded on the suppostion common
among the vulgar, that abuse aud call

Notwithstanding, we have pursued
