 The Committee on Sheep beg leave to report that they have endeavored, far as they were able, to charge the duty assigned them. Of the f.,cks presented containing fifty each there were but two, one belonging to Edward Hick- ok of Watertown, the other to Alonzo Whiting of Torrington. Mr. Whiting's were in high order and presented a fine appearance, but were selected portion from some two or three hundred. MT. Hickock presented his whole flock. ....

 The competitors for bucks of the number of five were three, and of single bucks seven of fine wool and two of coarse, both of the latter belonging to the same individual. r.s...e . ..- 'a-. r

 In speaking in general terms of the different hocls presented, your committee would remark that they were all of high order, and did much honor to the wool growers of Litchfeld county They would mention the flock of Mir. Abram Moss as deserving paricularDotice, but the wool in their opinion is too to be cultivated to any great extent with profit to the farmer. rt....

 or the character of the wool which the other Aocks presented there was great variety, ranging from the purest merno to the best of saxon, cir constance which rendered it very difficult to de- eide as to the comparative merits of the different flocks, the committee differing, under the rule of the society. as to winch kind would produce the greatest profit to the farmer. 1.,..p
