CASHMERE GOATS. .,e
J. M. Cannon, Esq, Of Cedar county, had
q pair of these rare and valuable animals
on exhibition. Too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon the enterprise Of purchasing
at almost fabulous prices and testing the
adaptation Of the constitution of the Cash
mere goat to our somewhat rigorous climate,
and it is the hope of every one that Mr.
Cannon's liberality may be fully rewarded.
As little is generally known of the charac-
teristics of this valuable animal, the public
is referred to Patent Office Reports for 1856
and 1857. sls,ts
