WONDERFUL SALES OF CATTLE.

OVER Forty THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR
A Cow-The most remarkable sale OF
cattle ever made in this country took
place at New York Mills, three miles
from Utica, New York, on the 10th
inst, comprising the herd of Duchess
and Oxford breeds belonging to Hon.
Samuel Campbell. The sale attracted
the most prominent short horn breeders
of the world, including representatives
from the great grazing sections of Ken
lucky, Ohio, Minnesota, Canada, Eng
land and Scotland. About five hundred
people were present, including all the
American breeders and many from En-
gland.
The Duchess family, headed by that
noble three year old bull, Second Duke
of Oneida. came first in the sale. lie
was no sooner presented than Lord
Skelmersdale offered $4,000. This
was quickly followed by offers of Sill
600 and $4,000 and was sold to Mr..
Thomas J. Megibbcn, of Cynthiana,
XIV. Next came First Duchess of Onei-
da. The bidding started at $4,000
and quickly ran up to $4,000, after
which bids of 500 were made until she
was sold to Lord Skclmorsdale for
$50, 600. A beautiful yearling, Seventh
Duchess of Oneida, WAS next offered.
The bids started at $4,000 and quickly
went up to $4,000 at which sum she
was sold to Mr.. \. J. Alexander OF
Kentucky. After her Tenth Duchess
of Geneva came into the ring. The
bidding starting at $500, ran quickly
up to s30,00O.and then by smaller bids,
to $4,000, at which she was taken by
Lord Beehive through Mr.. Berwick.
Several fine animals followed at high
prices, some to cross the Atlantic,
The elimination of the intense inter
eat. howcver,was reached in the bidding
for the Eighth Duchess of Geneva,
which was sold to Mr.. PAWN Davis, OF
Worcestershire, England, for the nm
precedented sum of $4,000. After this
eleven COWS OF the Duchess family sold
for s23S, 800, an average of over S2l,-
700. OF these six went to England at
cost of sl47,1OO, and five remain here
at 4 cost Of SOL 700.
After the Duchess family came the
Oxfords, then the other families, the bulls
being brought in after all the cows were
sold. There were in all one hundred
and eleven animals presented. The sum
realized was S3SO,S90. The Duchess
herd was originally from England, i'm
ported in 1853, and kept in perfect pu-
rity in Duchess county,New York. For
some years many young animals, both
male and female, have been sold back to
I England.

A GENUINE SNAKE SroY.-In Fay

of the fearful revelations regarding the
size and the number of the venomous
