The farmers in this state who have done any
thing at sheep raising have realized their fond
est expectations, Oar climate agrees rcmarka-
bly, well with the animal, while there is an album
dance of feed to be found OH all hands. No 9TH
er kind of stock can be as easily raised The
expense is merely nominal, while the natural
increase Of the flock is at least 50 per cent per
year. Wool always commands cash, and good
prices, in the eastern market. But We're our
farmers to engage in sheep raising to the extent
they might, without even neglecting any Of their
other pursuits, they would soon find home mar
ket for every pound Of their wool. Factories
would spring up all over the State, and the mon
ey now sent abroad for our clothing, would be
kept within, our own borders.

weather, find curious explanation going the

one OF the eminent astronomers of the Observable

cold is occasioned by the earth's passing through
a nebulous region of space, the said region be-
ing charged with half-formed matter, being
wrecks of comets, worn out fragments of the
elementary stuff destined 10 form new planets
out of. lie tells Us we may expect the fall of a
grea; deal of this matter on our earth, in the
shape of arolites aud all sorts of mete6ric stones
The shower of rocks from above, promised US
BY NJ Petit added TO the political perplexities of
the moment is quite as much as we can bear in
this part of the world. What adds to our dis
couragement is that the astronomers avow their
inability to protect US from being knocked over
the head by stray fragments of old comets tails,
and the politicians avow theirs to protect us
from an Eruption of kings, princes or fiery reds
