THE DEATH OF A VALUABLE SHEEP.
The celebrated sheep "Grea~ Mountain,
o,,.,o5 ~, Hon. Edwin Hammond Il Son
Of Middlebury, died on Tuesday night
IRON inflammation Of the bladder and KID
news. He had been sick since Dec. 3Oth.
This ram was the progeny Of the cele-
brated Gold Drop" was three years of
age last Spring, was probably the
best stock sheep in the world, and
constantly increasing in value to his
owners and to the breeders of Vermont
He could not have been purchased for
$4,000. His loss is a serious one, not
only to Mr.. Hammond's flock, but to all
parties interested in the breeding of the
pure blood merino sheep. Mr. Hammond's
iocks have been justly celebrated for their
purity ard for the Improvements which
scientific cultivation has bestowed on
them from time to time, they having pro-
duced some of the best specimens in this
country. "Gold Drop" a favoritc and
famous animal, was considered, at the
time of his death, among the best ever
bred, but all the points considered desira-
bic in the form, wool and general features
of 4 perfect sheep eliminated in Green
Mountain" and was so considered by the
best wool growers Of the country, who
had examined him and his stock He
may, therefore, be pronounced not only
the best specimen, but the most valuable
sheep in either America or Europe The
loss to Mr.. Hammond cannot be estimated
in money, although his stock was sought
to 50 great an extent shat large income
was derived from him in 1866, and was
doubled in 1867. All who are conversant
with the care and science exhibited in
the raising of sheep by Mr.. Hammond,
will at once readily appreciate the loss
and the justice Of the observations made
in reference to the nature Of this famous
animal.

The ADDISON COUNTY MARBLE Com.
PANY-The Mddlebury Register says
The Addison County Marble Company, OF
which l.. Miles Standish of Boston, is
President, and VIM. II. Ireland also OF
Boston, is Treasurer, and in which cur
townsman lockwood Barrett is largely
interested, sent to market, on Thursday
last, the first installment of marble from
their quarry which they have been quiet
ly and patiently opening for some time
past. The company made no haste to
bring their quarry ainto notice, or to
realize from rude surface blocks which
have tendency to injure rather than
benefit any new quarry. The result is,
that the huge blocks shipped last week
were most perfect. These specimens are
of the cleanest white, weigh about five
tons each, and, are pronounced by COM
petent artists to be very superior article
equal to any Italian statuary. The
quarry is about one and one-half miles
from Middlebury.

FRANKLIS COUNTY CRoPs.-A farmer
contributor to the ST. Adams Messenger
sums up the last season crops in that re-
gion, as follows:
The crops, in general, were quite good,
much better than could be expected from
the unfavorableness of the spring. Tho
Weld of hay, which is the leading crop in
this County, was large, about the same as
last year. of good quality and secured i'll
fine condition.
Corn the next crop of Importance, was
good, indeed, rery good. 1t had to come
forward " on the quick" however. as much
of it was planted quite late; but the fall
was favorable for its maturity, and think
there viii be less demand for the western
article, than for the past year. Where
wheat could be sown early, which was
rare in this locality, it yielded well, late
sown generally light.
Oats an average crop.
Potatoes good, in size, quantity and
quality. Have heard but little of the rot,
either in the field OF cellsr.
Fruit, good, considerable quantity OF
| berries, piums and apples.
/ 1t is thou ght there has not been so
large quantity of butter and cheese
manufactured as usual, owing to def
ciiruUy IN pasturagc. The prices Of these
products was quite low the first half OF
the season, but assumed a more respect
able figure afterwards.
The prices of farm products generally,
are pretty well up and are likely to con-
tinue so, as there is deficiency in the
grain crop at the west, and also in New
England.
The prices of meats, on the contrary.
are low. Hogs, live and dressed, have
been sold at a small figure. There is
terrible reaction in the sheep line. The
high prices of few years since, have been
receding gradually, until now they are at
very low ebb, and many are becoming
disgusted with keeping this kind of stock,
and are changing as fast az possible to
cows. Especially is this the case in Ohio,
where they are slaughtering them-ths
merinos--by the tens ofthousands, for the
wool and tallow, feeding the residue to
the dogs. What the effect Of this move
may be, if it becomes general, is not difh-
cult to foresee, and farmer, who has
flock of good sheep, may as well keep
them, as he will be full as likely to come
out right at the end, as the Others who
change for something else.
