SHEEP SHEARING.
At the uiuul time for Iheering,
• i tf.e prefer.* year, a tup v’eiino
flicep and l.ts datn, owned hv Bcnj.
I.ce, L.q of GatnbriJg.j, Maffdchu-
Letts, yielded as follows:
The tup, 19 12 pviun !?,
ibe dam, 9 pounds,
Bo:h making twenty eight and a
halt pounds of wool.
Mr. Lee is a gentleman of inde
pendent lortuue and gr-at r spec a
bllity ; and the sheep were ihrtred,
and afterwards the wool weighed,
in the presence of fever.ff ger.uc
men of that town and of B ft. n
i’hefe two fleeces produced i.ir.c
yards of fuptrhne clcnli such as has
been fold at 1J dollars per yard, and
a suit of this cloth we have fecn in
this city. It was worn by tlie Yice-
Preftdeiit cf the United States, on
his firft appearance in the Senate as
their President. Thus the produc
tions of two merino inclu
ding ihe labor of preparing and
manufafluring the wool, of one
year,, amounted, at the war price
for such cloth, to otic hundred and
thirty-five dollars; and aii this was
a. clear laving to the country. Tea

was performed by th. cit zen.s < i
