The Face of Nature ChnnRed.

| The Face of Nature Changed.
! When an apparent change has taken
place in the Moral, Physical, o. vegeia.
bic world, people often exclaim, "The
face of Nature has changed ~ As was
traversing portion Of Crown Point the
other day, the above expression came to
my mind, and | was led to ask;-Is this
so? Has the face of Nature changed?-
moralized awhile aud came TO the fol-
lowing conclusion in my own mind; Viz.
The vegetable, like the animal Kingdom
is furnished with face, or index to the
spirit which moves the body. Every hu.
man being carries on his body an index
TO his most prominent traits OF character.
If he is morose turbulent E; mild, or de-.
cepiye, his index sands up like a
beacon light on the sea coast, to give the
close observer a clue 10 his whereabouts.
| have been deceived in regard to mans
index, but not generally. When the de-
cep,ion has occurred, my vision has been
obstructed by some object, which for a
time yelled the mirror. Ii is known by
men Of close observation and experience,
that the true index of many persons is OF!
en- times placed back Of the one generally
seen at first view, and more piercing &
longer continued gaze is necessary in or
der 10 reach The real mirror. But the
thing is there, and may be discovered by
the telescopes of moral astronomers. But
suppose the face Of man to change in
appearance in consequence Of using strong
drink. Would the face of his nature
have changed No; i! would be only the
substitution of The nature of alchohol, for
his frs, nature; and the face or index
would be changed just so fast and so far
as the nature OF the new element comnell.
ed the change. This may illustrate my
views Of the change in the face of nature.
Well, l will now speak of the change in
appearance ofthings 10 general, in Crown
Point. l had not visited that place, until
last week, for near twenty years, and all
though the face of nature had not changs
ed, there had been pretty thorough sub
slitution of the useful for the deeterious
nature which exhibited itself there twenty
years ago. / now allude to Alcohoys ma.
ture whose index peered up in almost
every human being in the Cattle, Sheep
and horses, and in all vegetable matter
the aid of man to promote its
profitable growth. That town has not
outgrown the devastating effects Of old
Alcohol, but The people are fas, building
up the waste places; and if the true friends
of their race continue the work so we'll
begun. not many years will elapse before
Crown Point will present physically, as
we'll as morally regenerated place. The
surrender of the Ram fortresses in that
town, in May last, without any lives be-
ing lost in consequence, furnishes at least
as good news as the taking of Matamoras,
and this item will rebound as much 10 the
future honor Of the victors, as in the former
case. On the whole was highly pleas
ed with the change already effected, and
he apparent cheering prospects, and hope
The people Of Grown Point who have been
in efftcIng the change spo-
ken Of, may live 10 see very many rise up
and bless them for their phiIanthropic la
bors.

WOOL GROWING.

For sometime pas, while visiting diff
feren. places, the thought occurred to me
and has been forcibly impressed upon my
| mind that hint 10 those Farmers who are
behind others in regard to improvement in
the Breed Of Sheep, Cattle and Horses,
might not be Improbable to them and
community generally, and last week be.
ing in Crown Pon! and seeing something
worth publication, I now present few
facts and suggestions for the consideration
of the readers Of the Voice.
On Thursday last, on learning that
Foster Breed, a farmer of Crown Point,
had an excellent stock of sheep, and being
urged by neighbor of his to give him a
call, yielded 10 that and my own iuclin-
alton and tarried with Mr. Breed on Thurs.
day night On seeing the fac appearance
of the feeces just sheared, solicited a
statement Of Mr. Breeds process in obtains
ing his present improved breed Of sheep,
the weight Of deeces, &C., and obtained the
following, which it is hoped, will be pc,
rused by those interested -
Thirteen years ago Mr. Breed began
with Ewes from the flock of Allen Smith
of Addison, which flock was then reputed
10 be Of as good quality as any in the
country. The same year he purchased Of
Mr. Sumner, of Boston full blood Meri>
no Buck, some sixteen years old, and
shearing s lbs of wool. Since then he
has praclsed selecting his breeding ewes
at shearing time marked and disposed
of the others. In 1888 he!used year
old Merino Buck, belonging 10 Hiram
Smith Of Addison. This Buck sheared
more than eleven pounds. Ir 1874 Mr.
Breed purchased of Tyler Slickney, of
Shoreham, Buck lamb, al the age of
weaving, for which he paid thirty dollars.
The sire Of this lamb was called the "He-
70 of Vermont" -came from Mr. Jarvis
flock, and was sold last year for $500.
This Buck sheared last year fourteen
lbs. The Buck Mr. Breed purchased of
Mr. S!itkney, sheared, at enc year old, 9
lbs of we'll washed wool; and this season,
being two years old, sheared IL lbs 2 or.
Eighteen Buck lambs, which sprung from
the last named, averaged seven pounds Of
we'll washed wool at their shearing las!
month. MIR Breed has fifty breeding
Ewes, which raised So lambs this year,
and sheared on an average lbs Is or.
These Ewes are from A 10 6 years old.
Sixty Ewes, from two TO three years old,
raised sc lambs this year and sheared on
an average 4 la lbs. Eighty yearlings
averaged lbs 2 o., at this shearing -
One great object with Mr. Breed has been
10 procure such sheep as would produce
wool clear from gum; and another im-
portant object was to get large yield.
Any farmer will readily see that both these
are of vast importance to
The wool grower.
On conversiug with neighbor of Mr.
Breeds who has purchased WOO! for sev>
eral years past, and learning that he was
present at The shearing of the l8 Buck |
ambs before named, obtained from him
he statement that lhefleeces averaged 7lbs
Zach and was more clear from gum than
my he had examined this year.
