cree in prce of beef at what is called the very low

The price of mutton is very strkingy higher in

with prces quoted for mutton at wholesale in Washing

South Dows MUTroS.-Ws invite attention to the
fact that South Down mutton sells for cent pound
more than the very best of any other breed OF sheep
and that too in country where people eat very ist
mutton freely as people here eat fat pork. In TINS
country where lean mutton is much preferred to fat
we think that the meat Of breed Of sheep noted tor
afordirg preponderance Of lean over fat just about
in the same way that lean meat dependencies IN good
beef, the farmer might always count upon pnce
above that of any other breed Of sheep raised In this
country equivalent to 25 per cent. Until we cease
eating pork to the enormous extent now INDUCED IN,
Il is not likely that such fat mutton as is eaten In En-
gland freely will become fsvore sort OF food here.
Hence South Down mutton will always command
premium.

The Postage Law.

The House on Friday passed the SEN
ate Bill requiring the prepayment of pos
tasge on all transient printed matter
Heretofore it has been left optional to pay
or not, the ra tes being double if not
Great quantities of matter unpaid would
pass through the mails and remain uncall-
ed for at places of delivery, thus cheating
the Department out Of the transportation
fees.
We see by the Washington papers that
this bill repeals the provision in the act
to reduce and modify the rates of postage
in the United States, and for other pur.
poses, permitting transient printed matter
to be sent through the mails without the
prepayment of postage on all such tran
sient matter, by stamps or otherwise, as
the Postmaster General may direct. 1t

The Ohio Farmer.

There are very few, if any papers, in
our country, that have gained more per-
manent and enviable reputation than the
Ohio Farmer, edited and published in this
city by THOMAS Brown To the agricul-
turalists it is weekly messenger of in
telligence and information, bearing to him
the news ofimportant discoveries and i'm
provements, and the result of successful
experiments in the "noblest, because the
natural employment of man." The stock
grower will find in it's columns able essays
and discussions from distinguished gentle
men, who, for long series Of years, have
given attention to the raising of horses,
cattle, hogs and swine, and from the val
liable suggestions of these writer's, he will
learn much about focks and herds, by
which to improve his own. The horticul-
turalist and the gardner, will find in its
valuable and we'll filled columns very much
to guide them in the selection of apples,
cherries, peaches, pears, plumbs, grapes,
berries, and the great variety of excellent
vegetables so valuable to the family and
for the market. The lover and the stu
dent of Nature, Art, Science, Literature,
History, Poetry, Biography, Political and
Domestic Economy, of the Field, the For
est and the Garden, will find very much to
instruct, to please, to crafty, and they
will learn that the taste of all are cared
for, by judicious selections, and by able
and original contributions from valuable
correspondents. The Ohio Farmer is
well worthy of a place in every "Home''
in our land, for, while it teaches and in
structs the Farmer, in relation to his soil,
and crops, and focks, and fruits, it also
cultivates a taste for polite literature and
the love of art in the mind of every men,

ARAzoN1A- was when our Re-
publican friends, under another alias, said
that California was not worth the cast-ofi
rags of an Oriental lazar house. Now
she brings two hundred millions of the
glitteripg gold every year. The same
sort of talk is now prevalent as to Arazo-
MIA. Our colored friends describe it as
land of gravel and centipedes, Indians
and cactus plants; fit fo- nothing but to
curse.
Our information from those who have
lived in and examined that land, is that it
is unrivalled in the richness of its oars
copper, silver and gold. Why not? 1t
belongs to the same geological formation.
Perhaps its gravel will turn out gold: its
centipedes, fabulous; it's Indian tribes,
Yankee traders, and its cactus plants or
anges. Who knows-let Uncle Sam throw
the stars and stripes over her.--Erchange.

Chinese Sugar Cane.


We trust that those of our readers who
are farmers will carefully read the article
on our first page, on the subject of Chi.
nese Sugar Cane. Experiments were
made during the last year, in many parts
of the West and the result has been such
as to create much demand for the seed.
Judge Hollister, living near this place
and we'll known to most of our readers
tried few hills of it last year, and is
perfectly satisfied that its cultivation here
would be highly profitable.
lie states that corn which grew along
side oft, was more effected by the frost
than the cane; there is no danger therefore
of failure from this cause. The Judge
manufactured his into molasses or syrup
which he states is Of superior quality
Next year he expects to raise considera-
BILE crop.
Judge Hollister makes many careful ex
pertinent in farming, and when he pro
nounces one successful it may be relied on
We have no doubt he will give full infor
nation on the subject to any one apply
ing to him.

DR.. Roback's scandinavian Remed1e.

In directing the attention of our readers to
DR.. Roback's advertisement, we have no hesi-
tation in saying that all he claims for his medi-
cines is confirmed by certificates from all parts
of the West. The language of these certif-
Gates is so earnest and grateful, and the cures
refer to such variety of diseases, that it would
be folly to question the restorative properties
of the preparations. it appears that while
botanizing among his native mountains, in
Sweden, during visit to that country some
years ago, he collected a large quantity of rare
medicinal herbs, unknown in this country, and
by combining the liquids and solid extracts OF
those possessing powerful detergent proper
ties, he succeeded in producing his celebrated
Blood Purifier and Blood Pills, which said
to exercise a more beneficial effect upon the
fui1s of the human body than any other cura-
tives in existence. DIR. Roback's theory is
that all diseases originate in the blood, and il
would seem that the rapid recovery of his pa.
tents, under a course of these disinfectants
affords strong piesumptive evidence that his
pathology is correct. Certain it is that the
celebrity of his medicines increases daily and
that he has authentic proofs of their success
in his possession. See Advertisement.

maxim we desire to adopt with our SUBJ

decidedly best, both for our subscribers

Perry County-A Muss.

The decision of the Ohio Supreme
Court, in relation to the long-contested
county-seat question, was last week given
in favor of New Lexington, and against
Somerset, the old location, and where
the public buildings all now are. The
GAINESVILLE aurora says:
The people of Lexington came over to
Somerset after the traps" which are
used in county-seats; but the Somerset
people "seeing them afar off" locked up
the "traps," consisting of the Sheriff and
his papers, the Auditors and his papers,
and the Recorder and his records. with
all other stray officers and papers belong
ing to the county of Perry, aforesaid.
The Lexington folks talk of rescuing
the officers, but the Sumerset people, it is
said, have implanted the shooting instru-
ments in front of the imprisoned county
craps"

~THE GREAT WATER WHEEL CAs1


The case of Wintermute, assignee of
Parker, which has occupied the United
States Court for the rast three weeks was
was decided by the Jury this morning.
The case may be called great one
for several reasons Its decision tends
to dispose of large number of cases,
over hundred pending in several States,
and involving similar questions. 1t
has commanded the best talent of the
chief citizens of the State, in its conduct
and argument, and an immense amount
for witnesses, jurors and officers of court
has been expended.
The great questions submitted to the
jury were touching, first, the novelty, Sec
ond, the utility, aud third, the infring-
ment of the defendants of Parker's patent.
The jury brought in a verdict this morn
ing for defendants. Messrs. Fisher and
Lee, of Cincinnati, appeared as counsel
for the plaintiff, and Judge Andrews, Her
rick, and Barlow, were the Defendants.
The per diem fees of the jury for nineteen
days alone amounted to $456, and the
large attendance of witnesses must swell
the costs to heavy figure.

Death the destroyer came and blighted in their

consolation to her bereaved friends to know
that she fell sweetly to sleep with every con-

Those who in life's morn do die;
But rather weep for those yet bound

Rejoins the heavenly band, its sought for

And sings again Heavens sweet melody.
