ATirnILIING INcipENr.
A correspondent Of the Cleveland Plain Deaf
er, writing from Detroit, Mich, under date Of
Oct. H. relates the following:
An incident occurred ON last Thursday afcr
noon which filled the town with much excite
ment aud which called forth many a legend Of
the hind remembered by the oldest iehabiatnts.
A few boys who bad been un hunting excur
sion, called at one q! their neighbors aud began
shooting at maxi. A lttie girl about eight
wears old who had formerly had AN illness tha.
la affected her head got alarmed at the fiing
and raG into the woods.
In a short time she was missed, and i. was re-
membered that ,he had been seen running to-
wards the woods. aud consequently search be
gan. but uight came ON, and with It rain which
rendered further search Tor her that night iupos.

LANCASTER, MARCH go. 1851.

Z RICHLAND THUNDER..- The meeting il
ashland has been followed by another il
Mansfield, and the rumbling thunder de-
notes the approach of the storm towards
the Capitol City. The fear of an over
flow has caused the 'mercenary soldiers
of the Democracy to prepare for the
worst, but we imagine that they cannot
provide against The resistless tide ofpub.
'iic opinion. The Legislature may ad,
journ, before the storm gathers upon
them. but that will not save them. They
will have 10 give au account of"the Con.
stitution in the hands ofits friends"
The following are portion ofthe res.
olutions passed at the Mansfield meet
ing:..-
ResOlUed. That the Representative who
will tamely submit to the abuse of his
constituents by an unscrupulous editor,
his hired tools, or by "bank democrat" ,"
is unworthy of the position he occupies.
ResOl0ed, That we are unwilling to
have the interests of the Democratic par.
ty sacrificed for the purpose ofappeasing
the merceaary motives of any man. he,
lieving that the present and future of the
country as we'll as cur own self respect,
demands that we should adhere to prin
ciples. rather than be governed by the
, dictation of man whose attachment to
democratic principles is regulated by the
amount of money he can suck from the
Treasury.
p RcsOloed, That the action of the House
in amending the resolution of Mr.. Bliss
on the subject of printing, and thereby
allowing themselves to be duped by Me
daTy, was an act Of servility unworthy
the Representatives of flee people.

FROM WAsHINGToN--We should sup
pose there was some necessity of the
friends of Temperance directing their
efforts to get Congress to pass the Maine
law for the District Of Columbia. AT the
late visit of the Steamer Baltic, it is said
that nearly $1,000 worth ofliquors were
quaffed by the upper tendon who we're
invited to the banquet on board. Tender
youths. grey haired men and lOce'y wo
q men INDUCED to excess. The editor OF
the Ohio Union writing home 10 his paper,
says:
"The "lady" Of representative ofone
Of the European Courts became so "g 10.
rious" that the "material aid" of her at.
teudants became absolutely necessary in
order to enable her to "propel." AnoIh
tr distinguished "lady" was conveyed
from her coach To her hotel. by her ser
wants. Such we're among the "scenes'
which illustrate the condition of the NOR.
ais of the upper ten" in the national
metropolis"
The Telegraph at Washington city al.
audes to the excess which was INDUCED
in, but forbears to detail the particulars
There are other facts published by some
of those who we're present, but we, like
the Telegraph, ,teel delicacy in relating
them. We would much rather that the
morals of the Metropolis of Christian
Nation we're in a better condition ano
that different appliances were resorted to
to obtain "material aid" from the Repre-
: .eentatIves ofthe people.

Col. Josiah WIN. Wares co,.wola,.

|
A short time since. we noticed re
m alkabe sale of muitons, by that noted
grower Of fine wool aud breeder of good
sheep, Col. Ware, of CLARK county, Va
This morning. we were agreeahly sur
prised, by the receipt of letter from
Col. w.. enclosing sample of wool, oI
the mouselin de laiue variety, and also a
piece of yarn. spun some years since.
from the Cotswold wool The latter is
moth eaten. but il is exceedingly strong
where the strands are not ahradrd Col.
w. writes. fabrics from this wool last
doubly as long as any other"
In our previous notice. we drew atten
ton to the sale of muttons, made to
Mr.. Ouerbsck. Washington City
butcher. In circular accompanying
Col. WIS letter is the following passage,
viz:--
"Col. Ware recently sold, on the farm.
a lot of so muttons, of his improved
COtswolds and grasses. to gu to New Y,
as follows: 5. at S35 each, Sl75; 5, at
s25 each, $l25; 40. at $40 each, $500;
making $500 for lot of So and averag
ing Sl4 each. Higher prices were Of.
iered for the top alone, but Col. Ware
refused to separate them. The 40 were
different grades of the Cots wods. but
the last of these not being 50 good, re.
duced the price oflhe whole lot !"
At the Baltimore Cattle Show, last
fall. Col. w. took nine premiums for dit.
ferent grades Of his fine sheep. He
says: ..
II won every prize could contend
for, had there hut one mixed
bred buck aud one thoroughbred, he i'm,
porled--no lambs. no mutons; my nut
tons (being yearliags and unfed) we're
sold for 50 EACH in August, on the farm,
aud then went To Philadelphia. Having
beaten all England and the fairs where
exhibited four years in succession, | may
fairly claim to have the best flock oI
sheep in the world" ....
he lock Of wool sent usis from fif
teen TO eighteen inches lpug! |,
looks as though it ight have been pluck
ed from the famous Darby Ram. Ou
friends are invited 10 call at our edito
rial office, and look at the circular ant
the wool
The high prices paid for the Co,swoI'
multons, and their extraordinary growtl
of wool, should make them desirable by
every good farmer. In the hope tina
some ofthis fine stuck may be introduced
into Ross county, we devote our space tt
this notice. When sheep can be grown
worth as much as horse, as cheaply a
the common stock, worth at the outside
