TO WOOL GROWERS.
WASHING AND PREPARING WOOL FOR
MARKET.

The great objection that Ohio woolmeets with
from Eastern Manufacturers, is on account Of
the bad condition it is prepared for market. 1t
frequently occurs, when buyer of wool in tile
East is informed that the wool is grown in Ohio,
that he will turn from It without examining it:
Iso proverbially is Ohio wool of being filthy and
bury. Wool growers 10 avoid this, and raise
the reputation of Ohio wool, should be careful
bow they wash and cleanse it. Dry, and if pos
isible, sunny weather, should be selected for the
purpose of washing The stream selected should
be clear and running. The sheep should be Ia
ken one by one by a man standing mid thigh
| deep near the waters edge, and turn the back
ldownwards, the head alone being above the sur
face. Ii should then be turned from side to side
and moved backward and forward, SO as to make

nutes, and partially cleansed the fleece, he pas

the same routine, on being convinced that the
skin is free from filth, compels the sheep TO land
by swimming in oblique direction up the water
The bank on which the dripping sheep pare col
lected, should have clean and firm turf, anc
the flock, should, till fairly dry and fit for shear
ing, be kept on heavy grass land.
After allowing eight days, off oron, TO elapsc
from the time Of washing, SO as to permit The
wool to gain a fresh supply of yolk, along
with it Iustre and elasticity, the sheep may BE-
stripped of its fleece As there is no saving il

ment should be givento clippers to cut closely
smoothly and evenly, and TO avoid iniuring thf

that heat and damp are equally injurious to it

For Tie Cadis Sentinel.
The Contest al Athens.

Mr.. EDITOR The annual contest between
the Phlo and Jefferson Literary Societies of
franklin College, took place on The evening of
the 3oIh ultimo; and supposing that passing
notice OF it might be interesting to many of your
readers, we lay before you brief accountof it.
Although the weather was unfavorabIe, which
no doubt prevented many from being present
who would otherwise have attended, STILL at an
early hour, the Church was crowded to overflow
ing. The countenances and appearance of the
intelligent audience, gave evidence of thatdeep
interest which they felt on the occasion.
The hall was handsomely decorated with ever
green, and every thing wore pleasant appear
ance. The Cadz Band was there, andby their
rich strains of soul-stirring music, contributed
much to ehliven the spirits of the multitude.
The performances prepared for the occasion,
which consisted Of Select Orations, ESSAYS.
Original Orations and Debate, were indeed Of a
high order, and spoke well for the talents and un
firing industry. of the sons Of old Franklin Col
lege, The original performances were charac-
terizcdby depth Of thought, beauty Of style, and
eloquencc Of delivery And even with regard
to those who we're 50 unfortunate as 10 lose the
distinguishing smiles of the judges, we think
VIC speak but the mind Of the audience, when
we accord TO them much credit for their per
formances.
The Debate was one Of peculiarly interest
lind charatef The question discussed VAS
ashould man obey his conscience ip all casesa'
The discussion was conducted by Mr.. T. r. Gil
more, Of Harrison county, on the affirmative
and Mr., VIM, +. George, ofMuskingum county
on the negative; both Of whom exhibitedntheiI
performances, evidences Of deep reseOrch and a
thorough acquaintance with the subject, as well
The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 184?-1851, 1845-05-07

as with the rules of debate. But with regard
TO the performance of the latter, We must say
that, for strength of argument and force Of rea-
soning, combined with beauty Of style and elo.
quence of delivery, we have rarely, If. ever, seen
ii surpassed by any performances Of the kind.
MIR. Georges skill in debating was clearly mani
tested by the way in which he established and
confirmed his propositions, and exposed the art
fnl sophistry of his opponent. And although in
obedience to popular prejudice, the decision of
the Judges was given 10 the affirmative, yet we
know that the performance of the negative will
long be remembered by the intelligent audience
who heard it, as one of superior character.
The evening passed off quietly and pleasant
ly, except for a disturbance caused by the floor
of the Church giving way, which scared great
many, but, we believe, hurt none.
In conclusion, we would just say, as this con
test manifested, that although the number ofstu-
dents of Franklin College has been consdera-
bly, diminished by adverse circumstances, yet, for
talent and thorough education, they viii readily
compare with those Of any other institution in
the Western country. End we would earnestly
recommend tito those who wish to obtain thor
ough education, as place where such can be
obtained. May 2, 1S45.

The Georgetown Democratic Standard shows
up one or Two features of this law in very inter-
estng colors. See!
ats most disgusting feature, and that which
renders it most odious, is, that the same money
or capital is taxed twice, making an actual tax
of one and half per cent, or ONE DOLLAR
AND FIFTY CENTS on EVERY HUNDRED
DOLLARS of money at interest, or capital ba-
sed on credit in the State of Ohio!! Farmers,
mechanics, merchants and manufacturers, is not
this most admirable? But hold on a moment
till we show how the thing is fixed TO result
thus.
A is a capitalist, great or small, who loans lis
surplus money, at interest; B is merchant or
mechanic. B wishes 10 invest one hundred dol
ars in either merchandise or tools. He then
goes to A to borrow this one hundred dol
lars, for the paymen: Of which his promise is ia
ken. Now the law taxes A three-lourths Of one
per cent on this money under the head Of "mo-
ney at interest" is also taxed on this money,
as the goods in which the money has been nves-
ted are taxed the same as the money at interest.
Thus the tax of seventy-hve cents, multiplied by
two, giving ono dollar and fifty cents!
But the half has not been told! There is
still worse and more of it,! We have prepared
you by this time to see the climax capped We
shall do it by the exhibition of THIRD OF
TRIPLE TAXI! Suppose G TO be the man Of
whom B has purchased his goods or tools; c
must include in the schedule of his property,
and TO the truth of which schedule he must make
solemn oath, this one hundred dollars. This
must, by the provisions of this law, be included
IN the sworn statements of A, as "money at in,
terest;" of B, as "capitnl in trade and Of as
"sole owner" Of such money !!!!! Thus il
to be paid a triple tax, amounting to two and one
fourth per cent, or a tax of TWO DOLLARS
AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS ON EVERY
HUNDRED!

IMPORTANT DEBATE ON OREGON.


Housn OF LoRDs, April 4h--Midng IT.
Lord Clarindcn, in the House Of Lords, intro
duced the subject of the Oregon Territory, in
order TO elicit from the government some infor-
NATION as to our relations with the United States
upon this question, and the course it was intend
ed to pursue in case Congress, acting upon the
expressed opinion Of the President, should pro-
ceed to take possession of the country, or to an
mex it TO the United States
His Lordship, after briefly noticing the con-
duet of America towards Texas, and the extra
ordinary terms in which Mr. Polk had declared
the unequiyocal right of the United States to
the whole territory, temperately reviewed the
grounds on which the British claims are found
led, and concluded by expressing his anxious
hope, that while whatever could be justly claim
ed should be readily conceded, the Government
would not shrink from vndcatng, if necessary
the nations honor, or upholding her interests.
He was succeeded in long speech from the
Earl of Aberdeen, who deprecated war and has
ty action, and hoped the question would finally
be settled amicably, Should il be otherwise, he
observed, 81 can only say that we possess rights
which, in our opinion, are clear and unqucstion
able--and, by the blessingof God, and your sup
lport, those rights we are fully prepared to main
tain. ."--Received with loud cheers.

Bullish all over! The nation of land pirates

the county of Harrison, and her politicians and
statesmen will only rant in vain when they talk
of maintaining their rights 10 that which never
