Thrasher, of Rush county, read an interesting paper on the prices of Short-horns which elicited a good deal Of discussion. He held that the purpose of producing the fine breeds of stock was to induce their general adoption by the farmers of the country, and to bring them within their reach in prices. He thought that it was hurtful to the general interests to charge exhorbitant prices in the sale of fancy and showy; cattle, which were really no more valuable for beef or other well-bred , animals, commanding' prices within the reach of all enterprising farmers. : The existing fancy prices he believed had a tendency to discourage the breeding of the less popular but equally good strains,'and thus hindered the best general (interests,. Mr. Matthews;maintained: that the raising of these fancy breeds and selling at good prices promoted this general interest; by calling public'attention to the real value of this stock. When these animals are sold at a large price, it incites stock breeders to additional efforts at the production of better cattle, in order to obtain like prices, and the general public ih time benefit by these successful efforts at breeding better stock. The history of English stock breeding, viewed in the light: of recent sales there, justify this view. .' • •••. . .; „* : :, ■ Mr. Farrow, indorsing the views of Mr. Thrasher, said that he believed that the extravagant prices ruling for fancy breeds were detrimental to the stock interests! ..'Certain cows"have sold at $20,000 to $40,000, and it must be.seen soon, if not already, that no animal is worth such prices for any purpose, and when this is well understood prices will come down. Mr. Wilson was also ih favor of dis- ' couraging extravagant prices, as he be- glieved they retarded the interest. Mr., Meredith took the same view of the matter that Mr; Matthews did. Whatever might be said, it was a fact that when a breeder began with the cheaper strains.it was not long till he was anxiously seeking the best found in the market. As fast as possible such breeders worked their herds up to the top with the finest and therefore the highest priced strains. This is the experience, Mr? Meredith said, of all breeders, and as long as these best breeds are in so high demand, so long will high prices rule. The interest will continue to prosper as long as this spirit of emulation prevails. ''. '•_[ '. Mr. McDaniels said hundreds .would continue to get the highest prices attainable but efforts should be made to induce a more general love for fine breeds, and this can be done only by reducing the prices. ._._ -■ Mr. Hay worth said the law of supply and demand, in connection "'with !the knowledge of the intrinsic value of Shorthorns, would settle this matter ih the true interests. Mr. Stevenson said-'that; high .'prices could not be injurious to the best'interests. Comparatively, there are not. so very many Short-horns in the county, and if there were not good prices for them, this fact would impress the public that there was no greater merit in them than other and inferior breeds. He was fully satisfied that any attempt at degrading prices, if it could be done even, /which he denied, that it would result in a. deterioration of breeds/and damage the general stock interests. Men will continue to pay what they think animals are TTOrth. Mr.' Thrasher continued again, that when a cow. worth $200 /would. produce as much and; as -good meat,rtbutter, milk and cheese as a $40,000 cow, the low-priced cow was as good as the high- priced one. When a man pays a fancy price for a. cow he is humbugged, and he *J*t""*"*'11.'' J.-*'~-l*~»*»»-»w-tla.nthsimlsmsj. *\r. get out of lt. '-" *~ ~ - - ..—•■ Mr. Nelson felt assured that extreme prices did have a tendency to discourage the raising and sale of the more common grades of thoroughbred cattle, and consequently make it impossible for the average farming classes to handle fine stock. An essay on "The management of cows at or near calving " was read by L. McDaniel, of Rushville, and indorsed without much discussion. A CASH BASIS DESIRABLE. ". Public Sales, Cash vs. Credit," was discussed in a masterly manner.by Claude Matthews. Purchasers are divided into three classes, viz: Men who buy cattle to replenish their herds, and usually pay cash, the speculative buyer, and the irresponsible bidder. In view of the large number irresponsibles who prey upon the breeders, the own ers of herds find it much the best plan to adopt the cash system entirely. Of course* this rule cannot be made an-unchangeable one, but breeders should offer inducements for the encouragement of cash purchases by offering rebates. Mr. Matthews views met with cordial approval, though it was conceded that persons and circumstance must be taken into consideration in making a sale.

So the animal pleased the eye was all that was deemed necessary. VERMILLION COUNTY IN 1827. In 1827 Stephen S. Collett removed from Ohio and settled at Eugene,—a gen tleman of ample means, noted for his en I and honored for the good he did while ring. In 1855, Mr. John Collett, our able :ologist, bought in Ohio the bull "North .ar/and heifer, "Kate Fisher." Both red by Paschal Bruno 804, out of White ueen by Hercules, White Lily by hio, &c. In 1858, Mr. Josephus Collett, sr., ought of J. Harper, Ky., ^Snowball," by a. • .,, , . • , , - ";Osceola, dam by Capt.

In that early day cattle were veryfin ferior, producing but- little beef of poo: quality, and still less milk and butter good service for years, In 1854, Mr. Jacob L. Thomas, near Newport, a large feeder and dealer in cattle, purchased at sale of A. Hadley, in er and bull calf. • In 1857 he bought two heifers and one bull from Kentucky. He has since made, purchases of thoroughbreds and has now seven females (pedi- eeiV tracing to' imported Flora by me Albion (730), Duches3 of Suther- J"by Capt. Edwards (8929), Cleopatra '** H96).

TUB FIRST Pli-BB BKKKDS. I- -fn^^T^Gx} 'In 1828 he purchased from Hon. Henry, Clay a bull and heifer, certified to be ot, pure descent from imported Durhams— importation of 1817. The bull was pale red, white face, short heavy, horns, extra length of body, standing low : to the ground, and a rapid feeder. The heifer was cherry red, and together with good feeding qualities, ah extra milker, transmitting to her- descendants this latter quality, many of them yielding from five to six gallons of milk per day. ■■•■ So marked was the improvement of this first dash of pure blood, that in 1838, Mr. C. purchased from Mr. Reed, of Butler county, Ohio, a bull named "Young Slider,", white, with large splotches and bands of red. He was sired by Slider 979 Sbred by Gen. Garrard, of Kentucky), lam byTecumseh 2d, 2282, and on to importation of 1817. This bull was of fine size, smooth, and a quick feeder. At tbe same time were purchased the cows "Doty,", by Frederick, (he by Hutch- craft's Tecumseh), dam byTecumseh 2d, 2282; "Kentucky Roan/' certified by Wm. Scott of Kentucky^ to be of pure blood, and in calf to imported Van Buren 1062;.

All the above females with oie exception were red, with little white dstributed on flank and ankles. - '100 . 130 . 80 . « . 85 BY CLAUDE MATTHEWS. PRESERVING THE RECORDS. •' .

These stories are handed do\i until facts become vague and traditiol- ary, and finally lost through want If proper record. And in this our grit "Centennial" year, while the historiespf our country are taken down from duty shelves to refresh memory as to nares and dates ofthe long ago, it becomes hr duty as breeders of cattle, before too lie, to recover from the waste heap, all iat relates to the early introduction of in- proved cattle into each county ofthe State. • r I can conceive of nothing that wuld be of greater interest—and valuabltoo —to the breeders of Indiana- than uch histories in brief form, and if pnblhed in our State organ, the Indiana Fatier, would soon give a full and conllete State history of such transactions, f In pursuance of this idea I prorie to This was the last purchase of Mr. C, he having died in 1843. Mr. C. freely gave the use of his bulls to his ^neighbors, and scattered his calves for miles around, and the entire stock of the county received ite impress. Through the judicious breeding of Mr. O., assisted by his able manager, Mr. Wm. Newman, the descendants of his .cattle will yet favorably compare with many pure bred herds, of the present day. And this leads me to the assertion that from observation and experience I doubt that any importation of Short-horns into America has left so grand and lasting an impress, upon the native cattle of the country, as the much abused"seventeens." ,'..,,■ !' OTHER'FINE STOCK., Mr. C. also ibrought into Vermillion county, the Merino sheep, Irish Grazier, Berkshire, and "Chester WhiteTiogs, and the thoroughbred horse, noted among these, the fine stallion "Hassarac," son of Kosciusko, i !i : .- ..i.;..;,,.• .. .'.'',; Mr. Collett.passed.to his grave lament and heifersonecaS 4 for both milk and beef. Ma 1865, Mr. Samuel Grondyke of Eu- gerte, purchased from Messrs. Hills & Jones, Ohio, five heifers, tracing to the iniported cots, Rose of Sharon, Donna Maria by Gkpow (2061), and Mrs. Motte. The same yiar he also purchased three heifers at thj sale of T. C. Peters, N.

It consists of such strains as imported Coquette by Economist (11425); Red Rose by Earnesty; Ruby by Biiston (11229); Adelaide by Magnum Bonum (2243); Ruby by Young Dimple (971); and|the inevitable "17". Lone Star 14743, heads his herd. y ' In 1873, Mr. Jos. Staats founded a herd on cows of the Matilda by Imperial (2151), Flora by Young Albion (730), Agatha bj- Sir Charles (1440), and Mrs. Motte families. He now has ten or twelve females, with'Prince ofthe Bluff 15218 at its head. In 1869 the writer of this, oh removing from Kentucky into this State brought a bull and seven females, and has made purchases since. My herd now numbers over thirty head, of Rose of Sharon, Louan, Flora, Matilda, Nannie Williams, Raspberry, and other families, 3335 Count Athol 19269 stands at the head of the herd. ' In conclusion, I will say that the average of the common cattle throughout Vermillion county, is fully equal, if not surpassing, that of any county .in the State that has come under my observation. ,■ SALE OF DR. FORSYTH AHD J. T- WILLIAMSON & SON. . This sale took place at the State Fair Ground on Thursday of last week. The day was rainy and disagreeable, and the attendance hot so large on that account. The prices at which the stock sold were low, as will be seen, and the bidding was SHORT-HORN SALE OF S. MEREDITH & SON. The farm of Gen. S. Meredith & Son is situated but a very short distance from Cambridge City, Wayne county, Indiana, and is one of the finest farms in the State. It is most beautifully located, and is watered by the White Water river. The residence is surrounded by a grove of trees which make it cool and inviting. As early as Monday the lovers of Short- Horns began to pour into Cambridge, until every hotel was crowded to its utmost capacity. f There was a goodly number of stock men here, and almost every State in the Union was represented. Among the most prominent whom we remember were Col. John Hope, of Markham, Canada, and Simon Beattie, of Toronto, Canada. Also Col. John R. Page, of New York, and W. T. Bailey, editor of the American Short-Horn Herd Book, of New York. Among the Kentucky breeders were W. Burgess, W. Warfield, H. D. Ayer, H. P. Thompson, Walter Hardy, L. Coombs, *B. F. Vanmeter, Mr. Scott, Henry Williams, J. M. Berry. Vermont, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana and other States were well represented. There were also a number of ladies present. Among them were Misses Mollie and Lucy Dunn,- of Ohio, Miss Lizzie Claypool and Mrs. Claypool, of Conners- ville, and Miss Jenny Lacky, of Cambridge, and Mi3S Ida Henley of Richmond. Also a number of other ladies, They were not purchasers, but they added very much to the attraction' of the sale. Of the ladies present it can be safely said that they were as handsome as can be found anywhere, and Indiana may well be proud of her fair ones. . , The attendance was very good. Bid- NEWS OF THE WEEK. ~- '•.••" ■-•-.■•'State K.q,W».'■■ , /..'.'. There were 27 deaths in this city last week. ' Several buildings were burned at? Elkhart a few days since. Mrs. William Dixon, of Union City, died suddenly of heart disease, on the 3d. Eome City, Noble county, is going to be quite a summer resort this year. Evansville and Boonville, Warrick county, are connected with each other by telegraph. William Hawthorne, a merchant of Petersburg, has become insane through business troubles. Emanuel Pryor, living near Freedom, was fatally wounded a few days ago by the accidental discharge of his own gun. The recent decline in pork has caused the failure of J. M. Smith & Co., of New Castle. Their assets are $33,000, liabilities $88,600. A woman by the name of McCullough, near Oakland, Gibson county, drowned herself in a cistern on Saturday. The house of a Mrs. Bowman, of El Paso, was burglarized on Sunday night last, of $210, a valuable gold watch and a quantity of notes. The good people of Terre Haute were all knocked out of time Tuesday afternoon by the falling of the weight attached to the town clock. It weighed 700 pounds. Billy Beinhart, of New Albany, has in his possession a spectacle-case 200 years old. It is an heirloom in the family of Mr. Rein- hart's wife. Arrangements are being perfected in this city for a Centennial 4th of July celebration, and observance/on a truly grand scale, worthv of the city and the occasion. Thos. Kyle who was on trial last week in Jennings county for complicity in the Kaddy murder of last winter at North Vernon, was acquitted.
