FoUR-HoRNED RAMs.-The annexed letter from
Major Donaldson announces the despatch from New
Mexico of a very interesting and, perhaps yalua-
BILE present for the Maryland Agricultural Society.
The rams when received, will be placed the farm

GESrLEMEN-I sent yesterday, by Mr. C. Parker's
train TO Kansas City, from whence they will be for
warded to Baltimore to the President of the Agri-
cultural Society Of Maryland two four-horned rams,
which were captured from the Navajoe Indians in
the fall Of 1853 and which are presented to the So
ciety by the officers of Maryland who seved with
the troops commanded Col. d. s. Miles, U. S. Army
l think these rams descendants of Spanish
breed introduced into the country by the first set
tiers though if this is the il is strange that the
variety is not TO be found amongst the New Next
cans. am told that five, six and even seven horns,
like the beast IN revelations, are not uncommon
amongst the immense herds belonging to the Nava-
joe Indians; and the idea has occurred to me that
possibly these many horned creatures might be a
cross between the common sheep and the big rams
Of the Rocky Mountains, amongst whom they roam.
Why not? Quien Sd6e? The NaSajoe country is
in the very heart Of the Rocky Mountains.
Respectfully, yours,
j. L. DONALDSON,
Major United States Army.
