The Wool Trade of Ohio.

In the last five or six years, Ohio has increa.
sed the number of her Sheep aboutfilty percent;
and Wool has become a staple and leading
article of export. In the North Eastern, and
Middle portions of the State, this has been par
ticulary evident. In the rolling lands of the
North East, sheep have been long raised in large
numbers. In the counties Of Columbiana, Trum-
bull, jefferson, Harrison, Carroll, Belmont,
Sheep have been for many years principal ar
ticle of agricultural attention. Within very
few years, however, the Middle counties, such
as Madison, Fayeue, Union, Franklin, &C..
have greatly increased their number Of Sheep.
Contrary 10 former views on this subject, it has
been discovered that the level Prairi, lands Of
these counties are highly favorable to the rails
ing of this animal.
They grow to large size and produce heavy
fleeces. The general result of this increase in
Sheep, has been a largely increased export of
Wool. Agents for the Woolen Manufactures
of New England and New York, have in the
three or four years past traversed this State offer
ing cash prices for The ileeces, at rates, which
made this article one of the most profitable,
which the farmer can raise on lands suitable for
grass and hay. On this subject, we may say,
that while the Indian Corn alluvions are now
the highest priced. In time, the grass lands Of
the North West will take rank with the best corn
fields. The prices of Caue, Horses, and other
animals, continually advance, and these raise
the price of meadow lands.
In regard to sheep, the following are some oi

greatest excitement prevailed in the Convention.
Confusion and disorder were the governing spr-

Curran's Ingenuity.

A farmer attending fair with hundred
pounds in his pocket, took precaution of de-
posting it in the hands of the landlord Of
the public house at which he stopped
Having occasion for it shortly afterwards,
he resorted to mine host for the baiment,
but the. landlord, too deep for the country
man, wondered what hundred pounds he
meant, and was quite sure no such sum had
ever been lodged in his hands by the aston
ished rustic After Intellectual appeals to
the recollection, and finally to the honor of
Bardolph, the farmer applied to Curran for
advice.
''Have patience, my friend" said the
counsellor, "speak to the landlord civilly
and tell him you are convinced you are
convinced you must have left your money
with some other person. Take friend
with you, and lodge with him another hun
dred in the presence of your friend, and
then come to me-"
We must imagine, and not commit to pa
per, the notifications of the honest dupe at
such advice; however, moved by the rhet-
oric or authority of the worthy counsel, he
followed it, and returned to his legal friend.
oAnd now, sir, don't see as am to be
better off for this, if | get my second humid

$50 and ask him for it when he is alone,"
said the counsel.
"Aye, sir, but asking won't do, Pc a
fraid, without any witness, at any rate"
"Never mind, take my advice" SAID the
counsel edo as bid you, and return to
me-"
"The farmer returned with his hundred
glad to find that safe again in his possess
ion.
Snow, sir, suppose must be content,
but don't see as Pm much better of"
"Well, then" said the counsel, "Now
take your friend with you, and ask the land
lord for the hundred pounds your friend saw
you leave with him."
We need not add, that the willy landlord
found he had been taken offhis guard while

Cultivation of the Raspberry.

The plants are frequently set out in light
and poor soils, crowded together, left un-
trimmed, choked up with a profuse growth
of weak stems, and what little fruit they
produce is nearly dried nY, from the arid
situation in which they are placed. On the
contrary, in cool, deep and moist soils, in a
sheltered and partially shaded place, the
plants throw up suckers TO the height Of
six or eight feet, and produce profusion of
large, handsome, and wel-flavored berries.
So well assured are the most eminent En-
glsh cultivators ofthe raspberry, Of its love
of cool and moist soil, that some writers
have strenuously recommended the use of
bog earth and rotten leaves, in the place Of
the richest loan. We are well assured that
the many complains which are made Of the
mcagre produce of many raspberry planta-
tons may he attributed wholly to the light
and droughty soils in which they are often
planted
A cool aspect is of material consequence,
and to secure this the north side of fence
or trellis, which will form screen from the
sun, is the most favorable; on the north
side of a shrubbery or row of fruit trees
is also suitable place. II neither Of these
situations is to be had, an open spot in the
garden may he chosen, always being careful
to avoid the south or east side of fence
A temporary shade may be effected in the
open garden by planting row Of running
beans on the south side.-Hopey's .Maga-

Simple Division.

We heard of story the other night the
subject of Division" that we thought
s'some" at the time, and never having seen
il in print, we are tempted to give our rea-
dcrs the benefit of il.
z A Southern planter named p, pretty well
10 do in the world ao,c, was some twenty
years ago poor boy on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland One of the strongest and
most marked traits in his character was an
inordinate love for money. This, howev-
er, is characteristic of the people of ."them
diggings," where they practice skinning
strangers during brisk seasons, and skin
ming one another during dull times. In
due course of time p. was of age and tho t
it about time to get married. He went TO
a neighboring village, and in the course of
events was introduced to a daughter OF
Judge b.
"Dang fine gall" said the embry specula-
tor to his friend who was gaining him an
entrance among the elite.
"Eery."
"How much might Judge b. be worth :"
"Why about $4,000, was the reply.
Sand how many children has Judge b.
continued the inquirer.
"0nly three"
''Three into ten goes three times and a
third over" mentally cyphered P. Here
was a chance-a glorious chance, and he
improved it too. He made love to the beau
tiful and unsophisticated daughter of the
Judge with all the variations. Strange to
say--for he was as uncouth looking cub
as ever went unlcked-his suit prospered,
and they were married.
The honey moon passed off as all other
honey moons do, and they were happy
The bride was lively and chatty, and often
made illusions to her brothers and sisters.
Startled at number of names he thought
should not be IN the catalogue of relations,
one evening at tea he said
"My dear, thought there was only three
of your"
$50 there are, by my Ma, but Pas first
wife had eight more"
"Eleven go into ten and marry one oper?"

kicked over the chair, and groaned in per-
feet agony, SPIN sold and cheaper than

There are, we understand, us many as

will be ready so soon as it opens. These
