in some cases this has existed to such
an extent as almo 81 to come under the
head Of false and fraudulent packing,
rendering the wools liable 10 be re.
turned by the purchaser. Great COM
plants have been made by parties who
have used these woods, and have found
the loss to defy all calculation. We
tear these circumstances will tend to
operate very much against the future
prospects Of The article, until got up in
condition more to be depended upon"
Thus has the character OF American
wool growers been dlsgraced and the
character Of the wool degraded. Can
i, be possible that single honest wool
grow er will reud the above extract, who
will feel an anxious and honest pride
in retrieving his characteri And il
he be not governed by sheer selfihness,
will he not feel deep interest in hav-
ing the character of his wool elevated
so as to secure for It a favorable mark
ct at fair price?
SO much has already been published
in relation to the mode Of preparing
wool for market, that the committee
deem it useless to say any thing on
the subject, except that the sheep SHOULD
not be washed till the water becomes
quite warm--say about the last of May
or first Of June. Then they should be
put into water until The wool becomes
completely wet and taken out short
time. and then washed thoroughly clean,
and shorn as soon as the wool is dry,
which will not require more than two
DAYS, should the weather bs favorable.
Some have mistaken notion that sheer p
should remain several days after wash
ing before shearing, till the gum rises
on the wool. This is erroneous. The
cleaner the wool can be taken to mar
ket, the better, even for the home mar
ket; as much more has latterIy been
deducted and will continue to be de-
Quoted, on account of flth, than it will
lose by having it entirely clean. Every
burr should be taken from the fleece
before rolling up. This can easily be
done finding the burrs by pressing the
hand carefully on every part OF the
fleece when opened out, and cutting
them oil with shears

Tread the following statement offacts from Mr.
Eli Bailey, highly respectable merchant OF Wen
ua, Johnson county, Illinois
Messrs Phelps Bskesley, st Louis, Mo-,
Gen,lemen:-A desire to benefit the afflicted
thr oughaut the land has alone induced me to max e
the following statement pf facts respecting one OF
| the ost astonishing cures ever recorded: My sdn
now seventeen years aid, has been afflicted during
his whole life with constant cough, pain III the
side and chest, accompanied with nightsweats and
hectic fever, which produced great emacatipn
and debility: and al intervals during the night his
expec tora,ion would become so great as to endan-
ger his life from strangulatiun. During this time
he was attended by many physicians Of the highest
repute, whose prescriptions gave but temporary
relief in fact, slarming were the SYMPTOMS, and
so inveterate was his disease, than was compel
led to believe him beyond the reach Of medica
aid. aa s.age
All our neighbours whd saw him, regarded him
as one who was rapidly approaching an early and
premature grave. After having thus exhausted
theisk Of our best physicians, without obtaining
reiief,I was prevailed upon by the advice pf a
friend to make use Of Visitors Balsam OF Wild
Cherry. yea i'a
He commenced its use aboufthe 3Oth Of Decem.
Der, 1874, the first bottle of which gave astonish
ing relief, aud begun again to indulge in the
fond hope that he might yet be restored to health
After having continued the use Of it until three
bottles had peen taken, the disease was entirely
overcome, and his shattered constitution and
emaciated form restored to sound and permanent
health, which he continues ta enjoy up to the pre-
sent time.
believe the genius, DR.. Wistar's Balsarn Of
Wild Cherry, to be one of the most valuable me-
dicines ever iscovered-knowing, as do, that
the above cure was effected solely by its use.

Wool Growers.

Fellow Wool GRo wERs:- The un
dersigned having been appointed at
the convention held at Steubenvills
February 10, l847, 10 add ess you on
the Importance of having your wool in
such high state Of preparation tor
market, that il tmay attain that eminence
OF character. both in this country and
Europe, "which its quality so richly
merits," beg leave 10 respectfully state,
that in view of the vast amount OF wool
produced in this country, and the rapid
increase of its production, the convlc'
tion is pressed upon US that the period
is rapidly approaching when the pro.
duct Of this valuable article will exceed
the demand, and we shall be compelled
10 seek foreign market for the SUI plus.
The experiment of sending our wool 10
foreign market, has already. 10 some
extent, been tried, and The result is. that
British manufacturers, while they high
" commend our wool, on account of
its felting qualities, or as they call II,
working qualities, they at the same
time, most severely condemn it on ac-
count Of its bury. .flMy condition.
Such, in fact, has been the clamor "a
gainst the wool of the United States,
in consequence of its bad condition,
that many Of the manufacturers will
not purchase i, at any price; prefering
to pay much higher prices Tor wool
which they know to be clean.
This being the true.state OF the case,
what shall be done to remedy the great
evil complained Of? The remedy is
obvious and is easily applied. Let
every individual wool grower deter
mine unhesitatingy for hlmself that his
woolin future shall be thoroughly clean.
Let him determine that henceforih,
nothing shall prevent him from having
i, tied up fleece by fleece, entirely free
from every Thing but clean, pure, ,Ohis
pool. Then when the manufactures
calls to buy the article, he can with
honest pride show it TO him and ask a
fair price for it. And depend upon II,
when the dealer can be assured that the
pile contains nothing but wool, he will
not be willing to leave it without rak-
ing a purchase, though the price de-
manded be high. Should our wool be
found in this high state Of preparation,
we need have no fears about the sur
plus in the market Clean, ,ohite. pure
toool, will always command fair price,
at home anc abrond.
Since the above was written, the
writer has received letter from the
east, containing the following extract
from "Wilmer & Smiths European
Times" received by the last steamer,

London.
