UOOL-The history of the growth OF
wool is very curious. Fifty years ago
there was no, pound Of fine wool raised
in the United States, in Great Britain, or
in any other country except Spain. H.
the latter country, the flucks we're owned
exclusively by the nobility Of the crown,
In 1894. a small flock was sent to the
Elecior of Saxony as present from the
King Of Spain, whence tie entire pro.
duc,lon of Saxon wool, now of such im-
mense value. Before the breaking ouI
of the last war, between this country and
Grea, Britain, Col. Humphrey succeeded
in getting few meriuo sheep brought
out of Spain; then the expectation was
prohibited under the penalty Of being sent
10 the ralIeys for life.
In 1870, during the second invasion Of
Spain by HE French, some Of The vaIua.
bic Crown nocks'were sold To raise mon.
ey. Our Consul at Lisbon, Nr. Jarvice,
purchased fourteen hundred head, and
sent them TO this country. Previously
however, Mr. Livingston Obtained fe "
sheep Of the Spanish breed, as present
in 1892. A porlion Of the pure unmixed
merno blood from these npcks is to be
found in Vernon, at this lme.-Sucf
was the origin Of the immense hocks %
fine wooded sheep in tue United States
and Great Britain.

The last Board OF Commissioners, for this coun.
ty was composed OF Messrs Smith, Ebright and

Ebright, aud he was the only one capable ofjudS-

or public building properly repaired, and also
whether the prices for such work were reasonable
or not. From some cause or another, he has
been thrown aside aud a Samuel Shelter has been
put in nomination, who has not the first qualitica-
ton for the Office. We do not speak at random.
Scores of good Locoiocos are dsgusted with the
nomination and have told us so aud have told us
that Shaflcr is not qualified, IN ANY RESPECT, for
the duties Of the office. We give their language;
and now we ask the voters ofthis county wheth'
