Mississippi Nool-The Lowell (Massachu-

shown the other day, in the finishing room Of

Mississippi. We were informed by Mr.. Law
renee that the wool was among the finest speci-
mems of American wool be had ever seen--cer-
tainly the cloth was the most elegant we have
ever seen. There can, we think, be but little
doubt that this country, before many years, will
not only be able to supply our manufactures with
WOOL but that vast quantities will be exported
to England. If such fine specimens Of wool can
be raised in Mississippi, State in which sheep
can remain without shelter all the year round,
where land is cheap, and pasture always ver-
dant, what is to hinder this country from becom-
ing the greatest wool growing country in the
world the west and southwest in particular 7

are all affection some are wise and sententious
some strain their powers for efforts of gaiety,
some write news, and some write secrets but
to make letter without affection, without wis

of tile accident is still unexplained the boats

has chance 10 look around him, he is not going
to run. unless something shows Il disposition TO
hurt him. If drivers would take the precaution
to turn a horses head quick towards the danger
from which he cannot be reined and let the ami
NAL see bis danger, he would be as ready 10 shun
the danger as his driver. Two years since, had
a pair OF horses that would run away at every un-
natural touch or noise, until cut off the blinds Of
the brides, and they have never run away since
To test the truth OF this put blind bride an .
