FINE CATTLE,-Someof the finest cattle ever
fattened in the Valley of the Shenandoah were
sold and driven from thecelebrated Steenbergcn
estate, near Mt. jackson, week ago. The
lot consisted Of seventy-six head, fed for the
last two years by General Gilbert S. and Colo
mel John Meem, Jr., who occupy this estate,
rendered famous by its former owner, who was
known as one Of the most extensive dealers in
cattle in the South. These cattle weighed
from 1850 to l,4O0 pounds, and were sold on
the farm TO S. Harmon, of Shenandoah, to be
driven to Baltimore or market. They were
sold at eight cents, gross, and had three or four
other bidders, besides Mr.. H., at this high fig
urc. They were fine specimens of stock, and
showed how much cattle can be improved by
generous treatment on our rich Shenandoah
pasture lands.-Hockinghdm Register.

There is no truth in the report Of the
