We recently invited the attention of our
readers to a valuable aud select importation
BY Gen. S. R. and Col. J. D. Gist, Of this
District, (Union) of some Of the best blood
ed stock of England. As the improvement
of the useful and domestic stock of our
country, is one of the most important and
profitable objects which can engage the at.
%teution and enlist the patriotic purposes Of
every good citizen, it will not be amiss to
re.publish the substance of an extract We
copied lately from "Bell's Life" in relation
to the above stock, made through MIR. T.
Wardle, for the Messrs. Gist. We had the
pleasure on Monday last, of seeing at the
paternal mansion of these gentlemen, their
Imported stock, comprising three Of the
most beautiful and symetrical stations we
have ever seen. In bone, muscle and &C.
ton, it appeared to us, they could not be
surpassed. Their pen of Southdown sheep
was just as fine as anybody could ask them
to be; and they will be admired by all who
have a taste for good mutton and know how
to value abundance of fine wool. The judy
meut of Mr.. Wardle in the selection Of
Yorkshire and Suffolk pigs will be appreci,
ated BY all who see them. And then, there
were some fine dogs from the best kennels
of England-besides, We observed a few
game fowls from a pit-dou't know what
pi-but looked like they would fight Old
Scratch himself.
1t is a source of graduation to know, that
our young men, who have the means, have
also the wisdom and patriotism to make an
investment beneficial alike to themselves
and to the common Interests of the country.
1t is but recently that this enlightened and
enlarged spirit Of improvement has visited
our u%p-country; and the gentlemen of this
section of the State, who have so judicious-
ly and so literally afforded to all, the priv
ilege of improving and greatly increasing
the value of their stock, is entitled to the
good wishes and encouragement of those
who know how to appreciate its advantages.
The stock will be exhibited in Columbia
at the Fair of the South Carolina Agricul-
tural Society, which commences on the
18th November, instant.
The following is the pedigree of the
horses, as we find them in the "General
Stud Book" of England for race horses,
with the remarks of the Editor of "Belrs
Life" on the other stock referred to above !:
