Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1863-09-17

ing, WHICH was 'ucit prepared Tor the prln-
ter, we insert this morning.
There were between 80 and GO lots
of sheep, only few of which were ''long
wooled," all the others being Spanish
Merinoes. OF course it is impossible in
our limited space, to notice all.
Mr.. S. s. Rockwell of Cornwall, had
three eve lambs, for one of which he was
offered $500 on the ground also two
buck lambs and a two year old buck,
from which he sheared 81 IA pounds of
wool, the seventh dav of last Nav, and
for which he has been offered $1,000. The
above, as well as the following were Span
ish Merinoes.
Mr.. M. G.. Roundy of Springfield, had
on exhibition three buck lambs, one of
which he sold for $3.50, and refused $500
for another. His pen of five ewes was
very fine.
Mr.. A. Il. Ellsworth of Whitney, ex-
hibited an excellent two years old buck,
and three eve lambs.
Mr.. VIM. Sanford of Orwell, exhibited
in one pen twenty-five fine ewes, and be-
sides these he had FIVE two years old ewes,
five yearlings and three lambs.
Mr.. John L. Buttolph of Middlebury,
had three buck lambs, one of which he
sold for 500; three eve lambs, for the
half interest of one of which he was of
fered $500, and five yearling ewes, for
which he was offered $500 apiece.
Messrs. Peet and Meade of Cornwall
had in one pen twenty five splendid yearl-
ing ewes. This stock sprung entirely
from Mr.. Hammond's of Middlebury
Sanford's of Orwell, and HalPs of Corn
wall, and is one of the largest stocks Of
pure Atwood sheep in the State.
Mr.. Franklin Hooker of Cornwall
had five yearling ewes and five ewes that
were two years old,
Mr.. e. S. Stowell of Cornwall had one
buck three years old, a very fine sheep,
one ditto two yenrs old, and three yearl-
ing bucks, all very fine animals.
Mr.. H. L. Dean of Cornwall had one
pen of twenty-five ewes, also one yearl-
ing buck and three buck lambs There
were several other exhibitions from Corn
wall in Addison county, from which we
infer that this town is great place for
Spanish MerIno sheep.
Mr.. 0. r. Farnham had a pen of twen-
:, .a-. years olu puUks.
Mr.. John Fl. Sprague, jr., of Waltham
or Vergennes had a two year old buck
for which he had been offered $3.50. 1t
was half Robinson and half Atwood
Any person who wishes to learn about the
breed of Vermont sheep, should read Mr..
RandalIs address-when he gets it.
Mr.. O. r. Farnham had on exhibition
and for sale, twenty-six two years old
bucks.
Fine Merinoes were also exhibited by
G. Hayward of Bridport, Henry Thorpe
of Charlotte, N. I. Sprague, jr., of
Brandon, and others.
A notice of the "long and middle
wooded sheep" we must omit. For the
names of the exhibitors of the best in
that class, our readers can refer to the
premium list, and the same may be said,
of course, of the other classes and depart
ments of the exhibition.
The sheep excitement runs high and
we might extend our notice of this de-
partment almost indefinitely if space
would permit
