place about eighteen months since, and Opened
a very handsome store, is doing a Aourishing
business.
The public sales Of the neighborhood are
well attended, and stock farming implements,
&c. bring fair price. Last Friday your cor.
respondent had the pleasure of attending Mr..
Samuel Covers sale. Eight horses including
two three year old colts, were sold at an
average price ofSl25, and seven head ofhorned
cattle, including two heifers, at an average
price Of SAG. During the day we took stroll
through Mr.. Covers stable, in which found a
lot offat cattle, forty in number, whose plump.
ness aud sickness far surpass anything in
the cattle line that | have seen for some
time. The quality and condition Of those
cattle, show Mr.. G. TO be not only n good
