Tho salo aggregates about two hundred head ot oattle; and is of sufficient importance to attract buyers from all parts, for Mr Rosa' name is in itself a guarantee of quality, and there is no need to enlarge upon the merits of his stock, more than to say that among thum there are the best strains of Bates and Booth blood, and that seldom is such a valuable herd thrown into the open market where anyone and everyone has the chance of making a purchase which is calculated to inestimably improve the breed and reputation of the cattle he rune.
