SUMNER MANAGEMENT OF SHEEP. In
the spring, do not turn your sheep into
tho pasture until it is well up, or until
Il is ankle high, so as to have something
to shade the ground; keep your sheep
close, and feed them hay and grain Of
some kind-they will eat it well if kept
from grass. When put upon pasture,
have three Or more fields, and change
them often, so that their pasture may be
sweet. | have known neighbor lose
three hundred sheep out Of six hundred
in one summer. He divided them into
three parts, and put them into three
large fields, with no shade except what
the fence on the south side of each field
made. The sheep lay along the fence,
and when the nose fly came, the sheep
were to be seen running with their noses
to the ground, fighting the fly, and eat
ing only just enough to keep life in
them The sheep did not go more than
eight or ten rods from the fence, and
this was eaten close to the ground when
there was plenty Of pasture on the north
side of the field; as consequence the
sheep poisoned themselves in their own
filth. The fly laid its egg in the nos
trils of the sheep, and they soon died in
great numbers Of "worm in the head"
Now, you would ask, how should he
save his sheep? He should have put
them al. into one field, and forced them
20 60 farther from the fence; and about
two or three days after the first shower
he should have changed them to another
field. Whenever you see your sheep
run with their noses down to the ground,
drive them to your farthest pasture the
fly will stay about where the sheep have
lain. Keep changing them from field to
field, and you will not be troubled with
''worm in the head. "-Genessee Farmer.

GOOD COMPARISON

.ay The Rev. William Roulatt, q well known Methodist clergyman, residing at Naples, draws the following amusing but apt comparison between Dr. MLans's celebrated Vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Bros of Pittsburgh, Ps., and ferret:
 " ferret, when placed at the entrance of rat hoie' enters the aperture travels along the passage seizes upon the rat, extermnates his existence and draws the animals defunct carcass to the light And in like maner have found Dr. M'Lane's American Vermifuge to operate upon WORMS. those dreadful tormentors of children This remedy like the ferret enters the aperture of the mouth, travels down the gulet, hunts around the stomach, lays hold of the worms shakes the life out of the reptiles, sweeps clean their den and carries their clear out Of the system. This, at least has been the effect oi the Vermifuge upon my children"
 neighbor of Mr. Roulatt. MT. John Briers, adopts the sinie of the reverend certer thus both giving their unequivocal approval of this great spe eie after having witnessed it's operation upon their own children Let others try it. and be satisfied.

O C a WASHINGTON, Dec 8, 1857.

DIVISION OF TEXAs.-The subdivision of Texas into two or more States is revived in the public journals of that State. No State in the Union has increased in population and wealth during the last few years more than Texas Her estimated population at this time amounts to more than half million, and when the next census IS taken 1t will be found sufficient to en- title the State to six or seven representatives in Congress-
 Several reasons are given for division. The great size of the State; the great dissimilarity of Its parts, and the difficulty of constant com muncatlon between all parts and one centre of government, are among the chief of them- The general political reason is the importance of Increasing the strength of the south in the U. 5. Senate, by the addition of more Senators, to check the increasing predominance of the on-slavehodlng States, from the growth of free soil States in the northwest
 The subdivision of Texas into not more than four States is provided for by the articles of annexation.
 One of the principal objections is that per haps one of the new States may be free State, by reason of the predomnance in one portion of the State of settlers from Europe, who do not employ slave labor. That danger is over rated. It is proposed to avoid all spprehen- sion on that subject by making new State out ot the first congressional district as now con- sttuted, which will be sure to adopt slave constitution, and in the remainder of the State the original TeXas--the preponderance is clear and the constitutional provisions sufficient ly decided-M C..

@ The first constitutional

@ The first constitutional convention of ohio says the Pennsylvanian, framed consti. tutlon' under which the people of that State were governed for forty-nine years The most singular part however, of the whole history is, that the constitution was never submitted to the people for their approval, but was absolutely reused oy the convention to be so submitted. A resolution was offered in the convention de- ciarlns, in substance, that when the constitution was nnlshed it should be submitted to the peo- pie for their adoption or rejection, before it should go into operation; yet the resolution was rejected by vote of twenty-seven to seven, and the constitution was declared to be in force ana ooilsatory on the people. without their assent expressed in any form whatever
 Judge Burnet, in his Notes, says that some persons ascrbed the the rejection of the resolu- tlon to fear that the people would repudiate 'ne instrument, if it were submitted to them in .he form m which it had been drawn up; while It was said, in their behalf, that they were n- huenced by an honest desire to save labor and strlie, and prevent an unnecessary loss of time.

Washington Territory-Its climate, soil,
 health and access thereto

This place Is In AZ deg north, yet the win- ters are not so severe as they are in 37 deg. in the old States. During a residence of five years Tn this climate. have never experienced such winter as you had in "the States" last year, in lat. 32 deg. It does not rain continual ly during the winter. We have month or six weeks of plesant, dry weather, usually in J an. uary and February. Nor is it continually dry in summer. Just after harvest, in August and September, it is an unusually dry season that does not bring pleasant showers to enliven vege- tatiOn. For month past we have had such showers, and during the next four weeks the sun will doubtless shine as brightly as it does in your Palmeto State. The difference between our climate and that of northern attitudes on the Atlantic coast is, that we have TO such er- trenaes of heat and cold as they do. We wear woolen clothes the whole year with perfect comfort, and never require buffalo robe, or Macklnaw blanket to prevent freezing
 Our soil is different, very different, from any thing on your side of the mountains. It does not appear to be rich or fertile, and yet its pro- ducts are most bounteous and excellent. If the soil does not differ from its appearance, there must be something in the atmosphere or climate to make it produce. Wheat, oats, and all kinds of small gran yield the most abundant crops. w to tho tropics, and every product of the coun- try. For instance: several years ago when pro- visions were scarce in the country, many per sons used Irish potatoes instead of bread, with out suffering at all. A horse will do his ordi- nary labor here. which would be extraordinary elsewhere, and feed only upon the grass of the prairie.
 In health, the country surpases any within the limits of our Union. No diseases are pecu- liar to the country. While fcvers are almost entirely unknown, consumption, with all other "northern complaints" as rare as in Ken lucky or Tennessee-I might almost say, as in South Carolina. In this is the chief commen- daton of these two step-children" of onr great republic. If our superabundantly rich old parent-you would call him "Uncle Sam'- would make some provision by which people from the old States could get here at reasona- ble expenditure of actual cash the health of the country alone would soon induce a large population. As it is, the Indians and Mormons on land, and miserable, overbearing, soulless monopoly at sea- called the U. S. M. Steamship Co.,. almost prohibit emigration. Perhaps it will be better soon, when the Nicaragua and Tehuantepec routes are again opened. We will see.

STAGING IT TO THE PACIFIC.-The overland mail line now in operation from San Antonio, Texas, to San Diego California, carries passen- gers through. On the sixth trip westward four were thus conveyed to San Diego. The way mails are much increased. The entire road is now stocked with four hundred animals twen- ty-hve coaches and seventy y-fve (messengers and guards) With this outfit they can accommo- date six passengers. Further arrangements are being completed to accommodate passengers through to New Orleans by this route The fare from San Diego to New Orleans is S2OO which sum includes meals on the route. The eighth mail from San Diego was to have been dispatched on the 23d of October, with a full complement of passengers. The schedule time for the trip of this line is thirty days.

0T The new hall of the House of Repre- sentatlves was lighted up for the first time last evening, and numerous persons of both sexes avaled themselves of the opportunity thus af- torded to witness the effect It was certainly striking and beautiful, and was considered We believe, by every visitor to be entirely success
 full The open squares in the ceilings number forty-hve, disposed in five rows containing nine each. Each square has concentric with it smaller square, around which are disposed twenty eight burners, making 1,26O burners in all. But besides these. which, when full head of gas is put on, supply a most clear and brilliant light, the curved carriers which are used for lighting the squares may be used, aug menting the light from the square fifth or fourth. Several demonstrations of the facility with which the whole can be lighe ed were af- forded last evening, and showed that the entire round can be lighted in the astonishngy short time of twenty seconds. We understand that this method of lighting is due to the original conception of Capt. M. c. Meigs, in charge of the Capitol extension. The whole number of jets employed in the lighting is forty five thou sand. The quantity of pipe used Gin the sky light alone) is nearly three quarters of a mile in extent. We learn that the lighting arrange ments were manufactured by Cornelius & Ba- ker, Of Philadelphia, and that the work of fit uns thls extensive apparatus throughout the entire building together with the water pipes, etc, has been executed by the firm of J. w. Thompson & Bro. of this city. to whom it is highly creditable, to say the least.-Nat Int

THE MORMON PROPHETS RAMPANT.-Heber kimball and the Prophets are expecting high old time when the booty falls into the hands ol the children of Israel. He says in speech re- ported in the Deseret News
 Will we have mama? The United States have seven hundred wagons loaded, with about two tuns to each wagon, with all kinds of things, and then seven thousatd head of cattle and there is said to be two thousand five hun. dred troops, with this and that, and that and the other; that is all right. Suppose they don't get here, but the cattle and goods come; well, that would be mighty help to us, that would ciothe up the boys and girls aud make them comfortable, and then remember, there are ff- teen months provisions besides. 1 am only talking about this.

the country and individuals to great loss and

the country and individuals to great loss and inconvenience.
 Besides, practice has grown up of late years to ieslslate in appropriation bills at the last hours 0! the session, on new and important sub- Jects. Ihis practice constrains the President eltner 10 suffer measures to become laws which ne does not approve, or to incur the risk of stopping the wheels of the government by veto- ing an appropriation bill
 rormerly such bills were confined to specie appropriation of carrying into effect existing laws, and the well-established policy of the country, and little time was then required by the President for their examination. For my own part, have deliberately deter mined that l shall approve no bill which have not examined, and 1t will be case of extreme and most urgent necessity which shall ever induce me to depart from this rule. therefore respectfully, but earnestly, recommend that the two houses would allow the President at least two days previous to the adjournment of each session, within which no new bill shall be pre- sented to him for approval.
 Under the existing joint rule, one day is al lowed, but this rule has been hitherto so con- stantly suspended in practice, that important bil continue to be presented to him till the very last moments of the session.
 III d laiS ihaJorl'y or cases, no great public inconvenience arise from the want of time to examine their provisions, because the const- tutlon has declared that if bill be presented to the President, within the last ten days of the session, he IS not required to return it, either with approval or veto, in which case it shall nOtibe law.
 It may then lie over. and be taken up and passed at the next session. Great inconveni ence would only be experienced in regard to the appropriation bills; but, fortunately, under the late excellent law, allowing a salary, instead of per diem, to members of Congress, the expense and inconvenience of called session will be greatly reduced
 l cannot conclude without commenting to your favorable consideration the interests of the people of this district Without a representa- tive on the floor of Congress, they have for this reason peculiar claims upon our just regard
