PREPARING WOOL FOR MARKET.

The best mode Of preparing wool for market,
sas follows: First-Belore washing gremove care
fully with the shears all locks containing dung in
hardened state; then wet the sheep in every
part, and let them stand crowded togthcr for an
hour or two. They should be taken out of the
water, (when first put in for weuing,) as quickly
as may be, after the wool is fairly wet in order to
retain asoapy substancethe fleece contains, which
actsupon the dirtand guminthe wool, while sheep
stand before washing. This soapy substance is
the first thing TO escape, as washing is commonly
done. The best mode of washing, is TO use fall
of three feet or over, turning the sheep in differ
ent ways under the fall ill the action of the wa
ter brings every part of the fleece TO an almost
snowy whiteness. much less fall will answer
WE'LL if the sheet of water is eight or ten inches
deep. If the water under the fall is not deep
enough to remain clear while the sheep are in, a
plank bottom should be provided to prevent any
sand or earthly substance from getting into the
wool, by stirring up the water. A clean rock

believe. At the commencement of the war,
three persons Of the same name volunteered and
went 10 the place ofrendezvons at Alton. Two
Of them were near relatives, and third his son,
who went along, seemingly, to take care Of the
other boys. When examined it was found that
the son was excluded by the regulations Of the ar
my having lost the fore-fnger of his right hand.
1t then became question on who should sup
ply his place and the care over the two young
men. This was soon decided-Mr. Rountree
stepped forward and enrolled himself among the
volunteers-did duty as such throughout tho
campaign, and was killed on the battle 6eld.-

lars was done up in box constructed 10 hold
that amount Of money, and the balance was con-
iained in a small bag, and both deposited in a
large wooden box, The lock Of which was torn
off, There was no relaxation Of vigilance on
the part ofthose whose duty il was TO watch over
the funds at the time Of the theft. The robbery

executed as 10 elude the keenest watchfulness.

from one Of its very clever Leutenauts, S,aton,
is at San Francisco, nine miles this side Of Ca.

their commander, Col. Paine. Captain Wilson

floating in the lake back Of our office. 1t bore
the marks of violence, and as he was known to
have had a considerable sum of money in his
possession, it is supposed ayarice prompted the

MORE VIoLENcE.-A Mexican was horribly
mangIed by cuts with knife, in a fight near the
