SUPERIOR SToCK.-The fact that our
are commencing ingood earnest
to breed improved stock of various
kinds has induced parties from abroad
to bring some of yhevery best of horses,
cattle, sheep and pigs from the East to
the Pacific States, including "far of
Oregon.p Among the principal of
these, is our friend Col. Peter Sake,
who has brought nearly 1000 head
during the past three years. Now
he has induced his sons to bring cattle
and sheep to this country and to travel
with and sell them and seek out q new
home in some of the Pacific States.-
One son (Rollin), is now erroute with
a car load of the famous Spanish Merl-
nos from VT, (this being his third car
load). We are told that his eve sheep
shear IA to % pounds, one years
growth. Another son, as our readers
will see, by the advertisement in an
other column, has a car load of young
Short Horn Kentucky thoroughbred
bulls at Salem, and the Col. himself
has some Kentucky-bred CotswoId
breeding sheep here at this city, I'VE
believe, as Gov. Grover remarked re-
Gently, that athese men are doing the
State ah important service" We learn
their prices are very moderate, consider
ing tile duality of their animals, and
their terms quite accommodating. We
bespeak great success for our "new
coinesn importers. They are all wor'
thy men and will probably soon be
reckoned among us as citizens.
