SHEEP IN OHIO.
The number of sheep owned in Jefferson county, Ohio, is estimated at 25,000. The flock of Wm. R. Dickenson, of about 3000 merinos, is acknowledged to be the best in the United States. That of B. Wells, of about the same number, is little inferior; and is equal, as to some of the finest. Another flock of 7 or 800, owned by John and Alexander McDowell, having been created from the prime of the Dickenson flock, is fully equal, as far as their numbers go, to the latter. Mr. Dickenson's wool at the last shearing, produced him $5000; in addition to which, he has sold $7000 worth of sheep, without impairing his flock. Mr. Dickenson's success in the raising of sheep, is a matter of general gratification, inasmuch as amidst every prejudice and discouragement, he continued to improve his flock, until he has finally brought it to its present unrivalled perfection. He deserves the thanks of his country.--West. Herald.
