TARTAR OK CHINESE SEEEP.--For couple
of years o. so, these sheep have attracted
some attention. We first saw them at the
Fairfield County Fair last year, where was
exhibited a eve with five lambs dropped at
birth. Shortly afterwards, Eli Wright, OF
Glastonbury, exhibited number OF fine
specimens at the State Fair. They are OF
good, even large size, fat easily, mature IA
pidly and breed rapidly, almost beyond be-
lief In the space of sixteen months, the
progeny of single eve amounted to fifteen;
this included eight lambs dropped By two
young ewes, that is grandchildren o: the
old eve. The wool is long and coarse, but
exceedingly silky and glossy. Now con-
sideriRg the price that mutton and all other
meats bring in market, and that for many
years our population has increased much
more rapidly than either sheep or beef cat
tie, any breed Of sheep which is so prolific
as this, must be regarded with favor. This
was admitted when their claims were first
brought forward, but as few had tasted this
mutton except those most interested to make
a good report, they were regarded with some
distrust; in fact, several influential persons
declared openly, from general grounds
against them, without investigating their
merits. We are led to these remarks be-
cause We can now speak with authority III
regard to the quality Of the flesh 4 fcw
days since Mr.. Wright sent us quarter Of
lamb for trial. The lamb slaughtered was
full blood, seven months old, one that had
had the range of good pasture, but had
been fed with no grain 1t was fat but no:
loaded with fat. The loin was roasted and
the leg boiled, and it stood the test of scve
raj severe critics. Ii was sweet, juicy, and
high favored, far beyond any mutton We
have found in our market for months at
least SO far as our recollection serves US, and
that is not apt to fail on such points, We
have never tasted better.-Homeste1d.

We DIE DALY-The bodies of animals
are continually undergoing series of invis-
lille changes Of substance, Of which they
are entirely unconscious. We look a. our
hand to- day, as We write, and We fancy IT
the same in substance as il was yesterday
or last year-as it was ten years ago. The
form of each finger, of each nail, is the same
Scars made in our infancy are there-sti!l
there. Nothing is altered or obl!terated J.;
and yet it is not the same hand. 1t has
been renewed over and over again since the
days of your youth. The skin, the flesh,
the bone, have been frequently removed and
replaced. And SO it is, more or less, with
our whole body. The arms and legs that
sustained us in our school-boy struggles are
consigned to the dust, and have, perhaps,
lived over again more than once in plant, or
flower, or animal. In from three TO five
years, the entire body is taken out and built
in again with new materials. A continued
activity prevails among the living agencies
to which this work is committed. Every
day small part is carried away just as if
q single brick were every day taken out OF
an old wall, or single wheel out of watch,
and Its place supplied by another. The bo-
dy. therefore. requires constant supplies, at
every period Of its life, of all those things
Of which its several parts are built up.

Another famous beard was that oil ba-

EARS OF THE UoEsg.-It is a good sign
for horse to carry one ear forward and the
ether backward, when on journey, because
the stretching Of the ears In contrary direc-
tions shows that he Is attentive to every
thing that is taking place around him !; and
while he is SO doing, he cannot be much IA
tigucd, or likely soon to become so. Few
horses sleep without pointing their ears as
above, that they may receive notice of the
approach of objects in every direction.
"When horses or mules" says DIR. Arnott,
"march in company at night, those in front
direct their ears forward, those in the rear
direct them backward, and those in the CEN
tire turn them laterally or across; the whole
troop seeming thus to be actuated by ole
feeling, which watches the general safety
