JONATHAN llUNT-Thc mystery in re-
lation 10 the re-appearance Of this individual
has not been cleared up. a Agen,leman who
is interested in the matter, and who went to
Liverpool short time since, has made some
inquiries, but no further developments have
resulted. The gentleman reported to have
seen ilr. Hunt in Liverpool. MIR. Scott Of
Manchester, reierates his statements, that
he did have half an hours conversation with
Mr.. liant il Liverpool, who told him be had
been travelling on the Continent Nothing
has been seen or heard Of Hunt since, and
tbs inference from all he circumstances of
the case is. that Mr. Scott was mistaken in
the person, Mr.. Hunt disappeared about
two years since lat Chareston,and was known
to have but Il small amount of money with
him. 1t is difficult, therefore, TO conceive
how he could have travelled for two years
on the Continent without funds.
The doubt thrown by these rumors upon
the death Of Mr.. Hunt embarrasses the set
tlement of his estate, and measures will prob.
ably be taken to ascertain definitely the truth

Now as regards the production o fwool.
what variety would Weld the greatest
profit under these circumstances In
answering this question, it is not sudic-
lent to refer to the weight ofthe fleece, TO
the price it would bring in market, or to
the aggregate amount in money which
each sheep annually affords. Neither
nor all Of these can settle the point.
Nor can il be fully determined by a COM
parison Of the net proceeds afforded by
the wool Of different kinds, in proportion
to the weight Of carcass-thougl it is
admitted that this would be an approxima-
ton towards the desired result. But who
has even made a fair and reliable trial Of
this kind The true test, however, is
comprchended in the quesIion-Wh hat
variety will yield the greatest income in
proportion to the land oc occupied, and the
labor expended in management 1t is
IN reference to the point here involved
that we want light. Who has ever taken
two different parcels OF land of equal
quantity and quality, appropriated one
part To one variety Of sheep and the 9TH
er part to another = carefully charging
each with their respective expenses, and
crediting the income
1t seems TO US important that measures
should be taken to bring out information
on this subject which can be depended
on and we would suggest that it is a
proper question to be decided by agri-
cultural societies. In their hands, the
experiments might be carried on free
from the bias which belongs more or less
to individual rivalry. Let a committee
Of judiclous and dsinierested men be
appointed, under whose superintendent
and direction the trials shall he conducts
ed ; and, that the point aimed at may
be continued through a series Of FIVE
years-thc results from year to year
being made public under the sanction Of
the committee Albany Cuhiedtor.

THE Boy T. II. SArFoRD.--This re-
marl;able mathematical genius, who has at
tractcd so much attention by tho early de-
velopmcnt of his peculiar powers, is made
the subject of remark by Prof. Pierce, Of
Harvard College, in his report to the Visit
ing Committee Of the Lawrence Scientific
School. Stafford attended the Professors
lectures on Analytical Mechanics, and show
ed himself perfectly competent 10 master this
difficult subject Of research. Ur to this
time he fully realizes his early promise of
extraordinary powers as a geometer, but his
friends notice with alarm that his body does
not keep pace in growth with his intellect,
and that he is not gaining that robust health
so necessary to a strong mind. 1t will be
remembered that he is under the charge OF
Edward Everett and Professor Pierce, and
is supported by the liberalty Of gentlemen
