ITEMs ABOUT SHEEP.

WooL.-In q wild state, sheep shed
their wool every year; in a dOmesticated
state they have been known 10 retain ii
for five years. This experiment has
been tried on the Government flock at
Bamboulelie.
The ineness of the fbres of wool is
affected by the temperature. The pile
is coarser in warm, and fine in cold
weather. .
Good rich pastures and god SHEEP gen
orally will render Heeces larger, and the
texture of the wool coarser.

By ~"trueness of staple" is meant as
equal a growth as possible over the
whole sheep, and freedom from shaggy
portions here and there.
Soil influences the s~oftness of the wool.
a chalky soil detoriates the soflness of
the wool of the sheep that Craze there.
The telling property of the wool is the
tendency of flores TO tangls themselves

| Our RELATIONS WITH MExIoo.-A very cUri'
GUS and interesting correspondence is now go.
ing on between our government and the govern.
ment of Mexico, that may be productive of ve-
ry great results, and give an entirely new form
to the elements that are eonspiring to erect a
new Empire on our Southern borders. General
Comonfort, who is now at the head of the Gov
eminent in Mexico, finds himself unable to con-
troll unaided the difficulties by which he is sur
rounded, The Church is at open war with him
in every part of the Republic, and though he
has obtained partial success over the insurgents
at Puebla, the hydra-headed monster of insur-
surrection is showing itself on many sides Of
him. England and Spain have been pressing
claims with great zeal and threatening invasion.
Under the pressure of all these conflicting cares
Comonfort seeks from this government the
means to secure at least some future for Mexico
and has proposed to our government an alliance
which shall strengthen his government and
bring the influence Of our own TO bear upon .he
reorganization of that Republic.

seSaDD.S Letter AEaiu.,,

As soon as Major SArr received the paper
containing the letter published by the Locofoco
papers of this District, and which they claim
was written by him TO Mr.. Pier, before the
election, he arose in his place in Congress and
denied its authorship, or having ever heard Of
it until he saw it in the columns of the Mt. Yer
non Ba,ncr He made this denial there be-
cause the character Of the papers publishing the
letter were not SO we'll known as at home
and consequently many might be led to think
it his production.
The letter fears upon its face the evidence o
forgery. All who know Major SArP, as a wri-
ter. know him to be very correct. Few men are
more SO. The dirty blackguards that got uI
this letter and those who published it, knew
this, but they had been lying about him so long
and their hatred of him is so bitter, that they
feel 10th TO quit after the election. They can
go'on. When they are through, they will find
that their assaults have not injured the object
of their vengence, and pleased no one, except ii
be men like themselves, destitute of character
or brains. a III

Frozen to Death.

1t will shock our readers to learn that
two respectable citizents of this county
were frozen to death on Sabbath evening.
Mr.. and Mrs Walton, and their son, of
Pleasant Valley, started from church on
Sabbath evening to return home. They
were lost on the prarie in snow drifts, amid
the perils of terrible snow storm, and a
piercing binding wind After struggling
until they were almost frozen, and getting
their horses so buried in drifts that they
could proceed no further, they abandoned
their vehicle, in the hope of reaching their
own or some other habitation. rssaa1
They struggled along together, weary
hours in vain. Mrs W. at last sunk in the
icy winding sheet to rise no more. Her
son, young man, struggled awhile longer
and then suffered the same fate. The
father, nerved by despair, kept up until
three o'clock in the morning, when he
reached house eight miles from his own.
He is badly frozen, but will recover. As
soon as possible his track was followed, but
too late to save the mother and SON.

Pier, and signed by me, as member of this bo-
dy. pronounce the letter forgery from be-
ginning to end. If the party who perpetrated
it had not append d a designation of my official
position, should have treated the affair with
the contempt it merits; but, under the circum-
stances of the case, deem it duty which 1
owe to this body and to myself, to say that the
letter is forgery, put forth for base and mali
eious purposes, in my absence from home. and
was doubtless known to be such by the editor,
who has disgraced himself and his press by Civ

The Tariffs Before Congress.

Two Tariff bills are now before the
Houss of Representatives-one reported by
Mr.. Campbell of Ohio, Chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means; the other
offered by Mr.. Letcher as an amendment.
The bill of Mr.. Letcher is similar to the
scheme of Mr.. Houston, of Alabama, which
in the last Congress came in conflict with
that of the Secretary of the Treasury, and
prevented the adoption of either by the
House. II proposes grand reduction of
twenty per cent. on the various schedules
of the tariff of 1916, but the reduction is
not uniform, inasmuch as it transfers sever
al commodities on which duty is paid, to
other schedules. The duty on imported
wool is reduced eight per cent. on the val
ue. Mr.. Campbel's bill makes all woods
which cost less than fifteen cents and all
which cost more than fifty at the port where
they are introduced, free, and leaves the
woods of intermediate value, subject to the
present duty of thirty per cent.
Mr.. Letcher's bill proposes to levy du-
ty of ten per cent. upon all goods imported
in foreign vessels, except in those cases in
which they are protected from such dis
eliminating duty by treaty. Mr.. Camp
BELLS bill maintains the present duty or
imported iron, but it admits certain manu-
factures duty free in order that the iron
masters may be benefited. While the du-
ty of thirty per cent. is retained upon i'm
ported iron, the duty of twenty per cent.
on imported fire bricks, extensively used in
the iron mills, is repealed. Pee [r
The duties on imported sugars remain
untouched in both bills.-Clereland Her

The Murderers of the Joyce Fam
ily..Exciting Scene at Court.

The examination of the four negroes
charged with numbering the Joyce family,
in Kentucky, resulted in their commitment
for trial. The confession of one of the gang
is that young Joyce was beaten to death
with clubs, that Mr.. Joyce and Mr.. Welch
were stunned by blows and when begging
for their lives, were inhumanly butchered,
and that the child was burned alive. A
son of Mrs. Joyce, who was absent at a
wedding, alone of the family escaped
During the examination, an attempt to
burn the negroes. is thus described by the
Louisville Journal:
About four o'clock Mr.. Joyce was recall
ed to the stand and answered a question:
AS he stepped from the stand, he said very
loudly-"I want all those who are my
friends to come on and take these negroes
and burn them" Almost instantaneously
every man in the room was ON his feet from
the passage between the benches on the
east side, the sounds of 'sBurn them" re-
sounded, and some of those occupying the
front tier of benches tried to Jump over the
railing to get hold of the negroes. Joyce
attempted to rush towards the negroes, but
was repulsed by Captain Rosseau. The
hammer of the court could not be heard,
and the voices of the sheriff and his depu-
ties were drowned. The excitement was
intense for minute or two, and every one
present participated in it. 1t was soon
made evident, however, that the law abiding
citizens were far in the preponderance, and
the tumult was quelled. asH--

Crime i'm Lon don.

According to the London Times, crime
is greatly on the increas in London, and
indeed throughout all England. From a
leader on "what shall we do with our con-
victs," we extract the following, showing
the state of faffairs in the metropolis alone.
There is no denying the existence of a
great evil which defies our present means of
cure or repression. If we take up the re-
ports from the winter assize, we find that
every second case is burglary or a high
way robbery with violence. The records
Of the metropolitan police courts startle US
with fresh stories of garroting and brutal
violence in pursuit of plunder In VAN DO
we bolt our doors and bar our shutters, for
we know that We may awake any morning
and fibd that the skill of~the burglar has
been to much for our domestic defenees.-
1t is not safe to walk at night in the sub
urban streets. and we cannot be sure after
dark of passing unmolested in the central
thoroug ghfares of the metropolis. We know
not at the corner of what alley, or in the
recess of what entry, ruffians may be wait
ing for their unconsciou prey, or at. what
moment the constructing arm applied to
our throats may render us powerless to re-
sist, or to call for help. five hear foot
step behind US, we cannot tell but the next
moment stunning blow from 'life-pre-
server" may PROSTATE US on the pavement.
We know that London is infested by a
band of desperadoes who live by plumber,
and who do not hesitate to employ violence
dangerous to life, sometimes, in the case Of
poor Cope, ending in murder. The police
cannot be everywhere, and if we were to
employ twice as many we should be but
little more secure. The thieves are really
the strongest party, and outnumber the po-
lice in the proportion of nearly three to
one. The dangerous class are steadily re.
cruited from the discharged conyicts, and
an increase of convictions only increase the
danger. 80
1t is computed that in the metropolis
alone there are sixteen thousand persons
known to the police, who live solely and
Systematically by robbery; and it may be
assumed than an equal or a greater num-
Der, have not yet come under the cogni
zance of the public guardians.

SINGULAR IMrupENcE OR MoSAMoSrA-A very
pretty and interesting lady has been doing a
considerable business at Baltimore, Nd, by
claiming one man after another as her husband.
So positive and pertinacious was she that she
extorted sums OF $40, $25 and $50 from several
individuals, 10 whom, for these amounts. she
agreed to relinquish her legal rights. When
last seen seen she was starting for Philadelphia,
to get evidence, MS she said, Of her marriage
with an old resident of Baltimore, whom she
boldly claimed as her husband in tho presence
of his wife and daughters.

PosrPoNEp-It is pretty generally known
that the uniform practice of the Democracy of
this State, of holding State Convention on the
9Th of January, has been abandoned this year,
and the 9th of August selected in its stead.
But the reason rhy JAcKsoNs birth day has been
abandoned and the matter put off until the dog
days set in is beginning to leak out only through
them opposed to the change. 1t seems that
MEDARY, ALLEN d Co., and host of others OF
the faithful, are expecting fat offices at the
hands OF Mr.. BUCHANAN, but should they be dis
appointed in this, they want chance of NOM
ination for Governor of Ohio. The Lancaster
Eaqie, Gov. MEDrLL' organ, says:
"As predicted by us a majority of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee have assumed the pow
er of postponing the Convention until the 9th
of August next. BY this time we hope that the
policy of the Administration in disposing Of the
the public Offices, Will have been so defined that
