English Agricultural Laborers.-The
wretched condition of this class was made
apparent at a meeting of their 'order,' held
recently in Wiltshire, where a woman, Mary
Ferris said, that the men, many of them,
were afraid to speak. A voice answered.
that they who were living on potatoes and
water had not the spirit to do so. Mary
Ferris proceeded:-"She thought a little
more land would be of great service to the
laborers generally. Her husband had 10

-Four of them play the Air; the other three
play harmony in the lowest octave of the
bells, similar to guitar accompaniment to
a song. They trill notes beautifully. Ev-
cry piece Of music is necessarily arranged
for them. Their instructor plays il Tor
them on the piano, bar at a time, as ir he
were teaching musical spelling. Being
unable TO read music, they learn il alto
gether by the ear. But nature and art have
made them SO perfect in this matter, that
one Of them cannot ring false note, with
out it being instantly detected by all the
others. So correct are their tones, that a
piano can be accurately attuned bv them.
Their memory, too, is wonderful. ANY
one Of them can tell instantaneouslv all the
notes that a'e TO be played for ten bars
ahead. Their bells have to be changed
frequently. often with as much rapidly as
printers take up their types. Sometimes
a BELL that is at one end Of the long table,
is needed at the other extremity but they
never forget to pass it along in season.

THE SWISS BELL RINGERS.

Mrs. l.. NJ. Child, tho n. Y. Correspon-
dent Of the Boston Courier, writes the fol-
lowing:
The performance of these bell-rngers
is really very wonderful, and well worth
hearing, as an exhibit ton Of mechanical
skill, and accuracy OF ear. When they
first played at NibIo's | closely watched the
effect on the orchestra, who are considered
as ski!lul a band Of musicians as any in
The country. They were visibly delighted
with the perfect precision Of the perform
ance. Yet the Campanologians play not
merely simple carillons, bat elaborate and
difficult music A.; the overture 10 Fra Diavo-
10, for instance. If this were done by sri-
king the bells, it would be less surprising
but to ring forty-two bells, with such ra-
pidtv and precision, is certainly a marvel
Ious exploit. No wonder they are obliged
to rehearse five hours day 10 accomplish
ii correctly.
The sound Of their combined bells is like
powerful music-bcx, extremely sweet,
liquid, and melodous. A seat at little
distance is more agreeable than one very
near not only because the metallic sound
is sof,ened, but because the performers
themselves appear too much like machines
when viewed closely. A writer in one of
our papers jesiingy undertook to prove
that they were automata, and certainly, if
one OF Maelzel's figures should be placed
among them, in the same dress, it would
no, be so very easy to detect the counter
felt This mechanical look and attitude is
the inevitable result of a long protracted
habit Of listening intently. in order TO play
each particular note in the right place
1t scarcely admits OF letting the music go
deeper into their souls than the ear. If |
were gifted with power TO utter the music
that struggles forever within me, could
not submit 10 such restraint in the mode oil

desperation.
Four of these men began to practice their
difficult art seven years ago. AT first, they
used but seven bells, but gradually in
creased the number 10 twentysix. Their
company now consists of seven, and they
use forty-;wo bells, varying in size, from

CARE OF SHEEP.

1t has been remarked TO us within a little
time by several individuals, that there would
soon be a very extensive complaint among
us, that the sheep business is very great
humbug! and that no money can be made
by it. the reason gwen was, that every
body is now crazy for sheep; and the impress
on seems to be quite prevalent that man
has but to get flcck, drive them on TO his
firm and then 60 to sleep, and wake up in
a year OF two rich. In other words many
are getting flocks, Without having made the
least provision for them, or being in cIrcum-
stances to bcstow upon them any adequate
care. There is no branch OF business that
requires more constant and skllful attention
than tina, Of shepherd. Sheep must have
proper shelter, constant supply of proper
tocd, and the careful oversight OF Judiclous
man, or the losses will very soon eat up The
profits. Those who besiow no such aiten-
ton W II fin ! their lambs among the missing,

or if they survive the fleece is much injured.
Ever SO much talk has been wasted about
