QUERIEs IN REFERENcE. TO SHEEP
A gentleman in the South wishes informa-
ton on the following points, viz.
l. "What can flock, say from 900 to
500 sheep, be purchased at in your vicini-
yl
2. What would be the probable cost OF
bringing them say $50 miles?
3. What influence would a removal this
far south have on theml"
/ take pleasure in replying as fully as |
am able. Hany rcaders.of the Agricul-
turalist should have greater and more acou-
rate knowledge on the subject trust it
will be furnished. Common sheep can be
purchased IN Tennessee from rs cts. to ST.
each, and fine sheep at prices ranging from
three to ten dollars each.
should suppose it would cost from %
to so cents per head to transport sheep
$50 miles. / am not assured the removal
of sheep 900 to 800 miles, would have any
serious effect. Mr.. Cockerill and others
have taken sheep from Tennessee to Ala
bama and Mississippi, and the hocks have
generally done well. | should have no APP
prehensions ofiniuring sheep by removing
them South. 1.

A short time since we alluded to the sub
Icct Of shccp-raising in Mississippi and
expressed it as our opinions, it would be a
profitable mode Of investing capital, owing
to the demand at irprices, for wool, great
competition and probable increase in the
production of cotton and the peculiar adap-
tation Of our climate to the raising ofsheep.
The following from the Tennessee Agri-
culturalist may be worthy of notice bythosc
who have embarkedin the enterprise.

PRINTERs LANGUAGE Every profess
sion has its technical terms, and ofcourse
the Printers have "small smadering'
which is only ineligible to the craft. The
following is a specimen; it don't mean,
however, as much as il would seem to
the uninitiated:
Sim, put Gen. Washington on tho gal.
ley, and then finish the murder Of that
young girl you commenced yesterday. Set
up entire the ruins of Herculaneum; dis
tribute the small box; you need not finish
that runaway match; have the high water
in the paper this week. Let the pie alone
till after dinner, but put the political bar
bacue to press, and then 60 to the devil,
and he will tell you about the work for the
morning" Not much wonder that DR..
Faustus was burnt for inventing such
diabolical art.--Delewdre Republican.
A Pittsburgh paper relates the following:
IA merchant, who had been to Philadel-
phia to purchase goods, heard, on his way
home, that his property had been wholly
destroyed by fire, and that, as a consc-
quence, he was a ruined man. He imme-
diately returned to Philadelphia, crlled up
on the merchant from whomhe had made
the purchases, and begged him to take
back his goods, remarking that he was not
able to pay for them. The other was evil
IDENTIFY touched; but with scarce moments
hesitation, he stepped to his writing desk,
and, as promptly as it could be done, hand
ed to his honest hearted customer Of Phil
adelpha bill and receipt for the whole a.
mount-more than $1,000.

REMOVAL FROM OFrcE.-We take oc-
casion to correct at the earliest period, and
in the most positive and emphatic manner,
the erroneous impression which seems to
have gone abroad, respecting the intentions
Of the President with regard to removals
from Office. Our Wing friends particularly
distressed upon this point in various Sec
tons Of the country, and by variety Of
causes sometimes their sympathies are
enlisted in behalf ofthe friends Of Mr.. Van
Buren,, who, they say, are to be universal
" prescribed; then it is for the friends of
Mr.. Cass that their tender emotions are
excited; anon the scene changes, and then
they are well nigh overwhelmed by the sad
anticipation that the friends Of Mr.. Tyler
or of Mr.. Calhoun are to be brought to the
block, without exception and without hope.
We very respectfully beg Of them to save
themselves all this useless lamentation.--
That removals seiu be made, that removals
MUST be made, no one can doubt for mo-
ment: but not because the individual hap
pened to have been friend Of either Van
Buren,, Tyler, Calhoun, Cass, Buchanan,
Stewart, johnson or Woodbury.; but be-
cause of his having been an opponent Of the
principles Of democracy, OF that the repuD-
lican doctrine of "rOtation in Office" de-
mands his retirement from the place be oc-
cupies. We can assure our friends that this
story, which our opPosers are 50 industri-
ousiy circulating, has no possible foundation
in fact. The people will be satisfied that
we are correct in our position if they WIZ
wait with a proper degree Of patience Il
removals are hereafter to be made, no one
who supported the democratic candidates m
1914 viii have cause to fear or complain
liadisofian.

CHEAP PosTAGE.-All Europe seems
bent on reduction of postage. A letter
from the Hague mentions a report that the
Government of the Netherlands is making
preparations for fundamental reform in
its postal administration, by fixing the gen.
eral postage throughout the kingdom at
tenth Of a florin, or about twopence En-
glish, and the petty postage within the
towns at half that rate.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

We publish below the following notice Of the
Report of DIR Jacksons Geological Survey in New
Hampshire, which we think will be of interest to
our citizens at this time. We hope our own State
will succeed in scouting for the survey TO be made
here, services valuable as those Of DIR jackson
More, we cannot expect
GEOLOGY AND MINERALoGY OF NEW HAMp-
sHIRE.-A friend has put into our hands d
copy of DR.. Charles T. Jackson's Geological
survey of the state of New Hampshire, which
is just issued from the press OF Concord. II
forms handsome, and we'll printed qUarlo vol
ume, which is illustrated with new map OF the
State, and large number ofcopperplaie, lllho.
graphic, and wood engravings.
DR.. Jackson was appointed to the duty Of
making this survey under law OF the State
passed in June, 1889, aud he was employed up.
on il during period of three years. He ap
pears 10 have discharged his duty with Rrea
fidelity and skill, and we have no doubt the re.
suits of his labors will be of great public utility
in an economical view, as well as highly grail
| flying TO students in this science. He was as
sisted in his labors by several young gentlemen
who were his students, and who from zeal fol
the science rendered their services gratuitousy
in aiding the aborious explorations, investiga
lions and analyses, which have produced the re.
suits recorded in this volume. The young gen
temen who rendered these gratuitous services
in the field and in The laboratory, were Moses b
Williams, j. ID. Whitney, Eben. Parker, Viii
liam +. Charming, and John Chandler.
The volume begins with recital Of the act
Of the Legislature authorizing the survey, anC
the publication Of The report, with letter, il
the nature Of a preface, addressed TO the Gov
ernor of the State. Next follows a general in
PRODUCTION, consisting oil an exposition OF Gle
mentary principles, necessary to the understand
ing of the subject OF the succeeding reports.--
Next follow the annual reports of the first, sec
ond, and third years, surveys, describing The re
suits Of the investig atoms, observations ant
discoveries of the geologst, and his assistants

observed TO scientific arrangement, but follow

annexation Of Texas. No one-could possibly infer
that question Of such intense interest, had been or
was pending before the American people.
In speaking Of the election, he talks of "ihe
principles and measures" upon which the two par
ties "uuequivocally staked the result" Of great is.
sues universally recognized" of"acknowIedged
principles" but not word in explanation Of what
these tissues" and "principles" were-not word
about Texas or the Tariff, even. He says "The
principle upon which the revenues Of the govern
ment to be derived from customs, ne to be assessed
is inteuigiLiy defined" but does not say how it is
"de6ned" That is LETT to the CONNECTION of the
reader. This ominous silence has already excited
uneasiness in the Texas and Free Trade wing Of
"the party" The Governor however, expressed
great confidence in the incoming administration Of
Mr.. Polk.
We have thus given a synopsis of this almost in
termnable document, believing that it would be
acceptable to our readers, for few we apprehend
will wade through its fourteen columns.

ing in great measure, either the Chronological
order OF the discovery, on the geographical To-
caty of the objects described. These reports
constitute the body of the work. They are
followed by an appendix, embracing meieoro-
logical tables, and various other matters. A
mong the engravings are photographic views of
remarkable scenery, descriptive drawings of
specific objects, sectional profles Of the rocks of
The State, coloTed, aod an improved map Of the
whole Stale, on which the geological forma-
lions, and most important minerals are desig-
mated.
The information contained in this volume we
have no doubt will be useful, as we have hinied
above, in directing The attention Of the indus
irious and enterprisng citizens Of the Slate to
the various modes Of turning TO profit its mine
raj resources, particularly IN the manufacture Of
iron, glass, copper, zinc, and perhaps lin, for all
which processes, the abundance and cheapness
Of fuel in the immediate vicinity Of the respec-
tive Repositories Of The minerals to be wrought
upon, affords an important facility. In this
way, II 10 no other, the labors of DR.. Jackson
are likely 10 prove of great benefit TO the State.

or Europe.
Each number will be embeshed with new and

A public meeting OF citizens of Pitts6eld oc-
casioned by the recent tragical death of Mr..
Pomeroy while in stale OF intoxicaiion, was
held on the 9th ult, 10 take measures for sup
pressing the illegal sale of intoxicating drinks
in that town. Speeches were made by Hon.
Edward A. Newton, Rev. Mr.. Todd, Gov
Briggs and others. The sum Of S46,S0, was
contributed for the benefit OF the destitute Wild
ow and children. The following brief synop-
sis Of the touching remarks Of Gov. Briggs on
the occasion, we copy from the Cataract.
He said he had been informed that the day
before yesterday, (ihat week on Wednesday,
the widow of that poor unfortunate man, went
TO the graveyard through The snow, aud talked
TO the cold grave as though she was convcrsing
with her lost husband, and that her reason vas
hurled from its throne and that wife maniac,
walking The house day and night refusing TO he
comloried although a professor Of religion and
belonging TO The Church of God, she was nn-
prepared 10 receive such awful intelligence.
The Gov. stated that when Mr. Medad Pome-
roy arose from his bed on Monday morning to
leave home, and after his poor wife had prepar-
ed his breakfast, he was very anxious that his
little children should get up and eat with their
father as he was going 10 Pitts6eld to work all
ihe.week, and they would not eat with him a.
gain until Saturday night The little children,
continued he, did get up and eat, for The last
time with their father, and when they saw him
next, he was a mutiIaied corpse murdered
by the ILLEGAL TRAFFIC in Intoxicating
drinks
The wife, too, said he, being on an GRAND Of
mercy that fatal afternoon, assisting in laying
out the dead child OF neie hbor, hurried home,
telling her friends that she expected her hus-
band, and she must be there To meet him. She
went home, and at the first sound of footsteps
si the door, she exclaimed to her little innocent
children-'there, your father has come s.
When 10 a messenger came with the awful ii.
dings of the death Of her husband, and the ia.
ther OF her little ones.
In speaking of the one who sold that brand,
TO The poor man, we never heard such a flow
ol soul-stirring eloquence fall from The lips o.
any man. He said-'Whst must the feeling,
of that individual who supplied Medad Pomfrdy

with the cause Of his deaih--when he sees nj
midnight his mangled body standing before
him, and in his hand, thrust iowald him, a bot
tie Of brandy-with features distorted, and
with intense agony, saying,-You sold it TO
me !!
