DR.. Brandreth has written a letter to the n. Y
Times, in which he offers to make one of ten or
twenty who will pay one thousand dollars each,
to any person who may give such information
as shall lead to the conviction of the individu-
al who killed DR.. Burdell. DIR. Brandreth says
that if Gov. King will offer five thousand dol
lars, and Mayor Wood FIVE thousand perhaps a
reward which would embrace $50 900, might ex-
cite the memory of "those who know" to
healthful activity.

ES- The history of flibustering is full of
warning While Americans have never yet UNI
dertaken a national war that has failed they
have never undertaken marauding expedition
that has succeeded. McKenzie's patriot war
in Canada failed, and its victims were hung,
transported or shot. LOpex's foray into Cuba
failed, and he persisted by the garote. The SON.
ora Expedition failed and the bones of its delu
ded members are bleaching on the plains The
Nicaragua expedition has failed at last, also.

THE Wool PRosPECTs.-The Y. 7. Tribune
saws:
I'VE notice that there is more than the usual ex.
element in regard TO the probable price of this years
clip of wool The opinion is generally prevalent
among the farmers, that the price will be seriously
affected by the operation of the new tariff, which
makes all wool free that costs twenty cents or,
under at the port of embarkatOn. If invoices are
honestly make, this alteration will not materially
affect the finer wocls that have heretofore formed
the bulk of the production in the United States.
The competing wools the Australian, and part
of the South American, which correspond to our
mernoes. Those woods are now comparatively
higher in London than in New York; much so,
indead, that it will be object for manufacturers
to purchase our woods at prices in advance of last
year"

A HINT FOR THE SEAsoN-The simplest
and best way Of preserving woolens through the
summer from the distinctions Of the m oths, is TO
wrap them well up, after brushing and beating
them, in cotton or linen cloths. The moth can
pass neither. Two covers well wrap around,
and secure from the air, viii be effectual. An
old sheet will answer, and save all expense of
camphor &c

SPRING CRoPs.-All considered, the weather
has been toerably favorable for putting in crops
Of wheat. We think the quantity of land sowed
will nearly average with past years and the
weather has rather favored the crop every day
since the seed was narrowed in, though a good,
warm rain about now would help amazingly
We really feel encouraged at the prospect Of Il
good crop Of wheat. Very little winter " heat is
raised in this region what was sowed last fall
looks well, we are told
We think farmers will put in large crops Of
corn and oats. Grant Co. Herald
