The boys-that is Chamberlin
and WatsOn-Col. Farnham's and
Capt. Gambells law stud ents, tried
their first case on Tuesday. They
both have good sized bumps OF
combativeness, and we reckon that

"Phin" the other part of the eACe-

learn earlier or later.

Gently sold two cows from their
herd of Short Horns, to Milo j..

One of them was With calf and sol
for $500; the other one was farrow,
and sold for 800. They recently
slaughtered two yearlings, one of
which dressed 74O lbs. and the 9th

that this is the kind of cattle to
keep for profit.

evidence of the musical ability of
the leader of the Band, and well eX.
cuted by the musicians. Another
