IMPORTED ROMINTEY MARSH RAMS.
The steamer Jane Douglas from ' Wellington after a severe passage, arrived at Poxton yesterday, among the passengers we were pleased t6 see Mr Robert Cobb, who about ten months since left Foxton for England. Tia America m order to select a number of Romney Marsh shesp from the principal breeders m that district, to supply the increasing demand m this country for the true pure blood : — We understand that he successfully landed m Wellington with 30, out of the 85 sheep which he scavted with and has now eight ram hogs to dispose of. These sheep also arrived with, the Jane Douglas, and m spite of the knocking about they received during the gale on Saturday, looked remarkably well and m good condition. The sheep are magnificent animals, and ought to effect a re*dy sa'e. They will be offered on Thursday next at Messrs Thynne Linton & Cos., stock sale at Foxton.
