WooL GRowEEs IN N1RorN1..--A
few Northern wool growers, accord
ing to the Richmond Wing, have set
tied in the range Of counties immedl'
ately under the Blue Ridge, extending
from the Potomac to the frontier OF
North Carolina, consisting Of Fauquer,
Orange. Albcmarle, Henry, and Pat
rick. The sheep are healthy. the
grasses which sustain them grow
iuxuriantly. And woo'ens are scarce
In some of these counties uncleared
land is to be had. for fifty cents ar
acre. TO project the sheep from dogs
which are more dangerous thar
wolves, the method of putting bel
on one in ten of the flock has beer
adopted. Dogs that kill sheep do il
at ight and in silence, and the noise
of the hell terrifes them and drives

the expiration of one extending law,
and before the enactment OF another--
a private individual. shall make an
entry on land, which had been previ.
ously entered, but which had no, been
surveyed and granted, within the time
required by law-such subsequent
enterer gets a good title at the time
he makes his entry, and the extending

such subsequent enterer Of his title.
1t has become vested right in him,
which the Legislature can not take
away.
Now apply this principle in the
case before US. The state sells the
land 10 two individuals--but the first
purchaser fails to perform the condi.
lions, within the time required by law
upon which he is to have tltle-and
he forfeits his claim. Immediately
upon such forfeiture, the title vests in
the younger claimant. Now the state
can not afterwards by extending the
time for performing such conditions
take away the title that has so vested
If no private right had interviewed
the state might waive the forfeiture
and give effect to the previous incl

to do this, in violation Of rights vested

a professor of music, went to an undertaken

emily excellent health, ordered his coffin,
stating tina, he felt an unmis'akea able pre-

noon, The undertaken regarding 1t as
Jest, took no further notice Of the matter,
and IN short time forgot all about the al.
fair. Mr.. Gherkin, after leaving the es-
Enlistment, went home, was shortly al
forwards taken sick, and at an e6rly hour
on the ensuing day was a corpse. The
matter is altogether inexplicable, as Mr..

Astounding lNvENTIoN.--We no.
tice an invention by Mr.. So|omons. OF
Cincinnati, Of what he calls perfect
substitute for steam! From common
whiting, snIphuric acid and water. he
obtains carbon in the gaseous state;
and with the power exerted by this
gas, he asserts that he now drives a
% horse engine, and fer one'fortieth
the expense Of steam, lifts and lets
fall $4,000 pounds five times in a
minute. This fluid. without any heat
applied at all, cxerts a pressure OF
$40 pounds to the square inch. while
water in the same unhcated state has
no pressure but that of gravity. Wa.
ter, heated to the boiling point, yields
a power of fifteen pounds. This fluid.
with the same heat, would yield
power Of nearly $4,000 pounds! And
what is more. a handful of charcoal,
and boiler the size of a tea kettle,
will produce, at an expense of a few
cents, the whole of this tremendous
energy! Fifty dollars expense in
carbon would carry one Of the Collins
steamers from N. York to Liverpool.
