FINE BEEF CATTLE.

Mr Samuel Beresford has now on his farm, a lot of the finest beef cattle that has ever been in this market. They were raised and fed by Robert Cunningham, Esq. of Clark County, Ky. They were purchased of Mr Cunningham at the price of sixty dollars per head,—thirty in number. They are four and five years old, and are estimated to weigh from thirteen to sixteen hundred pounds nett Beef. They are all of English blood, but a mixture of the Long Horn and Patton Stock, with a cross of the Durham in some of them. They would certainly challenge a comparison with cattle of the same age in this or any other country, both for size and their beautiful symmetry and proportions. The exhibition of such animals in our market, and the very liberal price paid for them ought to stimulate our farmers in the Miami valley, to renewed and doubled exertions to compete with our Kentucky brethren in the production of such stock. Our soil and climate are equally well adapted to the production of corn and grass, and we have the same opportunity to improve our stock that they have in Kentucky.
