From notie.,s which appears in another
pace y this paper it will be seen thata large
amount of valuable property will be sold at
Public Auction in Pleasant Prairie on the 10th
day of February, and in the town of Wheat
land one week later-the 18th day of the
same month. These important sales will no
doubt attract considerable attention. The
farms are so well known that it is not necess-
airy for US to speak OF them in q particular
manner, and the stock is said to be all of it
good, and some of itquite superior in quality.
