Sheep Husbandry in Indiana.

Greek, Seuben Co., Ind. gives us little of his
experience in sheep husbandry He thinks the
pure Leicesters. the best breed Of sheep for NUT
ton and wool combined, and the best cross, the
Leicester with the common sheep, "for what they
lack in quality of wool they more than make up
IN quantity They are prolific and the
lambs are more readily raised than the fine WOOL
ed breeds and are, he thinks on the whole. moro
profitable for the small farmer
Mr. RosE, two years ago. wintered 80 ewes
and one buck Of this cross breed They Drop

The 81 sheep averaged little over 81 lbs Of
well washed wool, which sold for 46 cents
per pound; making little over 81 per head
The following December, 40 Of the lambs were
sold for 800. The following spring the 30
ewes dropped "A lambs, and raised SO. They
gave. as before 4 J lbs of wool each, which sold
for 80 cents per pound. In the the two years
he has lost only two sheep. Mr.. r. gives his
sheep good hay, but grain, shelters to run
under during witer, and in summer good pasture
and plenty Of sat."-Country Gentleman
CuRE FOR BURss.-The American Agricul-
turist says. "of all applications for burn. we
believe there are none equal TO simple covering
Of common mheot -four. This is always at hand
and while i: requires skill in using, it produces
almost astonishing effects. The moisture produ-
ced upon the surface Of slight or deep burn, is
which shuts ont the air. As long as the fluid
matters continues flowing, they are absorbed. and
thus prevented from producing irritation. as they
would do If kept from passing off by oily or ro-
sinous applications while the greater the amount
of these absorbed by the -four, the thicker the
protective covering. Another advantage Of the
flour covering is. that next to the surface it il
KEEP. moist and flexible 1t can also be readily
washed of, without further irritation in reno
wing. 1t may be occasionally washed of very
carefully when 1t has become matted and dry, and
new covering be sprinkled on"
REAARK.-We have no doubt but the above Is
all that it is represented to behaving repeated
ly tried it. with the bes. results.
LIA correspondence OF the Syracuse (N. W
standard says. when potatoes are frozen 20 hard
that they cannot be washed. you may turn them
into boiling water add ounce Of salt, boil them
quite fas. until done. and then peel them. and no
person can tell that they were ever frozen.

On last Thursday began the Hebrew Feast of the Tabe

sordd and unpoetical and doubtless is so in worldly
matters yet the in which he celebrates the Feast

Corruption I'm the City of New York-Is
There a Remedy.

OF the disgraceful acts that are daily com.
mitted within the walls of our public buildings
the public have but a very limited knowledge.
In fact, no just idea can be formed Of the
amount Of corruption that is practised by
some Of the city officials sworn to perform
faithfully the high duties committed to them
There seems TO be a partnership, as it were,
existing between certain officials and set OF
lawyers who infest the tribunal Of justice with
their presence, and which results in the liberia
ton Of the very worst characters from prison
on their paying over respectable sum of mo-
ney, to be equally divided between the officials
and the lawyers. In order more clearly to
show the manner in which justice is defeated
It will be only necessary to describe briefly the
modas operandi at present in vogue.
In the first place, it is quite common oc-
currence for descents TO be made periodically
upon houses of ill-famc, for no other purpose
than that Of feathering the nests of those
lawyers. In making these descents upon disor-
derly houses, all the nmates-both male and
femae-found therein are arrested and con-
veyed to the police court. Here, after going
through mock ceremony, all the prisoners
who are able or willing to pay are discharged.
through the means used by these legal gentle
men, who generally manage to get about
fifteen on twenty dollars from each of the un.
fortunate creatures. This operation is re-
peated probably once month on the same
house; and there being large number of such
houses, an incredible revenue is thereby poured
int bot. 90
Now, ii is not 70 be supposed for a moment
that any honest magistrate could lend himself
to such transactions, for be certainly must be
aware of The utter inutility of raking these
repeated dcscents upon disorderly houses, as
far as the public good is concerned. He must
know full well when he signs the warrant
that none but the lawyers can be benefited by
the execution of the same. Public Justice and
the well being Of the community do not de-
mand any such course of procedure on tho
part OF criminal magistrates. WHY. then.
is IL that the unfortunate people of whom
We speak are every now and then
beset by the police attached to the
courts? II is not for the purpose of promoting
public morality, for they are never legally
punished. But they are arrested merely to be
liberated in few hours afterwards. on the nav
ment of fifteen or twenty dollars each to the
very men who were the instigators, perhaps
OF their persecution. We cannot imagine why
these magistrates should be 50 very solctous
about the welfare Of this class of lawyers, I'M
Iess they have finger in the pie themselves
Inc superstition may appear to be an unkind
one; but from the facts before us, we can
come 10 no other conclusion, unacceptable as
it may be to the officials in question.
There is another point of Importance IN con.
nection with criminal proceedings in New
York, 10 which we would invite the attention
