w DOL GRowiNG.-Some interesting statis-
tics have been published lately, from which
It would appear that wool growing is likely
to become far more profitable pursuit than
hitherto. and that general extension of op-
eratlons in the business, will soon become a
matter of necessity. The prospects of ad-
vantage and profit to the western farmer are
especially fattering. While the population
OF the States is rapidly increasing. the sup
ply of wool is diminishing. In New York
the reduction is from five to three millions :;
in Vermont from 100000 to goo, OO0.-
While the increase of population in the Uni
ted States has been 20,o00,OOO, the number
OF sheep has increased only 1000, 900. We
are now principally dependent on a foreign
supply. and that is diminishing. In seven
teen of the largest nations of Europe the
sheep number only 2OT, III 1851, while the to-
tal sum OF the population of these countries
is over 10000 900. Australia used to be a
capital wool producing couatry, sending out
from sixteen to forty millions of pounds an
nually. But the gold mania has put start
ling check on that, and caused great dimin-
uation In those exports. In a word, deficien-
cy Of sheep and wool is understood to appear
throughout nearly all the great wool growing
sections of the globe.

the most dreadful, inhuman outrages, commit
ted upon the indians Of that state, ever perpe-
trated by mortal men, and only worthy of
fiends incarnate. Here is one of them
" A party of Idian fighters had been on a
long hunt after Indians, and unsuccessful in
in finding any. Being determined, however,
not to come in without scalps, they sent for
some Indians who Were living near to make
a treaty with them. These Indians slept in
the white camp that night, eating peacefully
,Uilt, as they supposed, their friends In the
morning the commander of the white party
ordered his men TO discharge their rifles and
load afresh, 50 hat each might BE sure OF his
gun. He then disclosed his plan, II hich was,
that at the crack of his pistol they were to
commence the massacre of their gusts. The
plan succeeded admirably. All the Indians
acre killed. and the Uictors returned with the
