We have repeatedly called the attention of our read
ing farmers 10 the Importance of improving the breeds
OF sheen in this county, as one oil the most profitable
branches of husbandry. The climate, soil, and situa-
ton of the country are all in favor of the growth Of fine
wool, equal with that of Ohio, Kentucky, or Illinois.
The Increasing demand in the eastern markets for the
best varieties of American wool should stimulate oar
western farmers to enter the list OF competitors. and
thus draw upon the east for a portion Of her surplus cap
ital, So that the west may not always be contributing 10
the support Of eastern monopolies by consuming their
fabrics manuf .ctured from the raw material grown out
Of our own section OF the country.
On Thursday last, in returning from New Albany up
on the cars, We came in company with Mr.. Richard
Williams. an Intelligent and enterprising farmer from
was on his return from Kentucky, having in possession
fourteen head Of fine blooded Lambs, Of the Leicester
breed. They were very large and well grown; their
wool long and fine, and were purchased at a cost of five
dollars each. Mr.. W. intends in future TO pay more at
tention 10 the improvement of his hocks and the produc-
ton OF a better quality Of wool than the farmers of his
section have hitherto been in the habit Of growing. HI
remarked that he had read with much satisfaction the
attention paid to the agricultural interests of the county
through the columns of the Standard, and acknowledg
ed the compliment to Mr.. Jesse Johnson for his enter
prising efforts in the introduction OF fine bloods into om
county aud the success he has met with in their q -owth
induced him to try q similar experiment. Mr.. w is not
a member of the Agricultural Society, but thinks he will
join IL at the next regular meeting.
How many more Lawrence county farmers will be in
duced to follow the example of Messrs. johnson, Viii
liams and Faubion, in the growth and Improvement o
the breeds of sheep7-Bedford Standard.

IF September, after being in session twelve days. The
treaty guarantees to the Indians the payment Of $50,
COO a year, either in money or goods, for fifty years, i
during that time they faithfully comply with the terms

whites, and paying due regard to the United States Su-
peTintendent of Indian affairs. About 500, 900 worth Of
goods was distributed among the Indians. during the

The Good Old Plough.

A few evenings since we accepted an invitation FRI
he Hutchinsons, and attended one OF their concerts. '
we're so we'll pleased with one of their songs, that
olicited a copy of the words. 1t contains truthful ser
nent beautifully expressed:
Let them sing who may of-the battle fray,
And the dseds that have long since pasti
Let them chant in praise, OF tie tar whose days,
Are spent ON the ocean vast.
would render TO these all the worship you please,
would honor them even now;
But I'D give far more from my hearts full store
To the cause Of the Good Old Plough.
Let them laud the notes that in music float,
Through the bright aud glitteTing halls
While the amorous twirl of the hairs bright curl,
Round the shoulder of beauty falls.
But desrer to me is the song from the tree,
And the rich and blossoming bough,
O, these are the sweets which the rustic greets
As he follows the Good Old Plough.
Full many there be that daily we see,
With a selfish and hollow pride,
Who the pioughman's lot, in his humble cot,
With a soornful look deride;
But ia rather take, aye, a hearty shake,
From his hand than to wealth I'd bow;
For the honest grasp fhis hands rough clasp,
Has stood by the Good Old Plough.
All honor be then TO these gray old men,
When at last they are bowed with toll,
Their warfare then DER, they battle no more,
For they've conquered the stubborn soil;
And the chaplet each wears, is his silver hairs;
And ne, re shalt the victor's brow.
With a laurel crown TO the grave go down
Like the sons OF the Good Old Plough.
