CAsrLEroN ITEMS. "B. w. B" sends
us the following interesting items:
The men that paid six hundred dollars
| to Mr.. Milton Barber for the sheep men
toned IN the Tuesdays HERALD, refused
twelve hundred dollars for the same one
before they left the Castleton depot, which
was Immediately after they had made the
purchase of Mr.. Barber. ksssss.a. ss4Ss
Mr.. j. S. Benedict of Castleton recent
ly refused one thousand dollars for twelve
sheep that might be selected from his
flock. Mr.. BIS price was one hundred
dollars head, and nothing less in round
dollars will procure them. The reputa-
ton of these men as wool and sheep grow
ers is well known, and their focks are as
valuable, and they sell their stock as
readily and at as high prices as any
other sheep raisers in the county.
| Sheep and horse buyers are as thick
and as busy as bees here, and we think il
they all get out of the ring, as the saying
is, without being played out, they will dc
well.
