":-::■..:! i: r Imported Stock. :
- The cattle lately imported by Dr. Stevenson to this
county are not for sale. They consist of four heifers and
two bulls. One of the heifers was selected for Mr. Joseph
Allen, who has an interest in both the bulls.- The cattle
were purchased near Darlington, England, of three different breeders—are all beautiful roans except one, which is
red, and are but distantly related so that the produce may
be bred together for sometime to come. We also understand that arrangements have been made" by which' cattle
may be ordered with the certainty of their being pure, if
our citizens should desire cattle of the short-horn family
during the coming summer;     .-.•'. * ; '.
_ A pair of pigs were also imported. They are white,'with
but a. light coat .of-hair;..- They arelight in bone, with deep
heavy  bodies, arid are fine graziers andjfeeders.    It is '
hoped that they.tvilt be in; improvement to our present
breed of hogs,—.Greencastle Manner.,. -; ■.-.   ^   <

* 'Wilis, Won'ts' and Can'ts'.—-Somebody;
more Wise than his fellows, says there are three
kinds of men in this world—-the "wills," the
'•wont's',-" and the "can'ts." The former effect
everything.-the; other oppose everything, and
the latter fail in'every thing. "I will" builds
Our rarlroads~ arid Steamboats; "I won't" don't
believe-in experiments and nonsense; while "I
can't"-grows" weeds for wheat, and commonly
ends" his days, iii the slow digestion of a" court of
bankruptcy. There is a profundity, of philoso--
phy in these words which "should profit the rising
generation of workers.' -'-'  '    ■""■ *,-
