The Steubenville Union contains the fol-
lowing items in relation to the Steubenville
and Indiana Railroad, which will be read
with interest.
The tracklayers on the Railroad are at
work at Port Washington; and have laid
some twoor three miles. Cross ties are
distributed all along the road, so that no de-
lay will occur when the gradingis is compile
ted.
The tracklayers on the Railroad were up
to Section 13 on Saturday, and we suppose
are passing on up this week. The tunnel on
Is will be ready arched in 4 weeks--com-
mendable exersions being used for that pur-
pose. The new Chief Engineer has one
valuable quality already diScoverable-he
keeps things moving.

A correspondent of the Times endeayors
to create the impression that Mr. Andrews

why these same Agents were so anxious to

visitors.
Alcohol, half pint, spirit of turpentine,

the camphor into the alcohol and dissolve it,
then pulverlze the sal ammoniac and the

which put in the spirits Of turpentine, and
shake all together. This will end the days

SHEEP BREEDIEG In the January num-
Der of the Wool Gro,cer there is an excellent
article by Mr. Peters on the subject OF sheep
breeding. Mr.. Peters has given much at
%tention 10 the subject of stock-breeding, and
gives il ms his opinion that the Merlno sheep
is a distinct specios,--that it has existed as
such for more thnn two Thousand years, aud
that it's peculiaritics are not transmitted 10
any ether by any length Of breeding. All
attempts to improve native fiocks by cross
ing with the Merino have been followed by
disappointment.
II this observation be correct, sheep
breeders should be cureIul in keeping their
locks separate, for the mischief will only
increase by time. The pure Mcrino blood
will be lost without any compensation -
We are grntifed, however, to witness the
effort making on the pnrt Of wool growers
to preserve pure 6loods, for If focks are per
United 10 run together from "A disposed ben
eft of thc mingIing, n hybrid ruce will spring
up, destitute of all the qualities Of the pure
blood. Wool growing has become an i'm.
portant interest in this country. Too mucL
attention, therefore, cannot be given to the
preservation Of the bloods.-- Ohio Farmer.
