A GREAT WOOL GROWER.

The Manchester Mirror says that Mr..
Abraham Melvin, of Wear, II. H., re-
cent sold twenty-five thousand pounds Of
Spanish Merino Wool 10 parties in Bos-
ton for sixty cents a pound, amounting 10
SIS. 600. The wool was of his vs. rails
ing and part of a three years stock. The
Mirror says:
"Mr. Melvin owns land in his own
Town, in Warner, HoPkinlon, Springfield,
SUIT, n, Grafton and Dorchester, this State,
where he pastures the sheep under his
own immediate care. But this great yield
comes from sheep let out on shares TO per-
sons in different parts of this State, YER
mont and New York. He lets them out
in a novel, compound ratio way, thus
The lessee to keep them four years, 10
give Mr.. Melvin half OF the wool, yearly,
and half of the wool of the increase, by
the mothers side, and al the end of four
years to give Mr.. Melvin half of the sheep
taken and half the increase; in case of
death, half the proceeds of the carcass.-
By ordinary calculation, making due al
lowance for death by old age, l~amb-kill,
disease, youthful tenderness, and what
not, at the end of four years, he will ct
tire times as many sheep, and we cah't
iell how many pounds of wool"

SMALL HORSES.

The arguments may all be ia favor Of
great size, but the facts are all the other
way. Large horses are more liable 10
stumble, and be lame, than those of the
middle size. They are clumsy, and can
not I'll themselves so quick. The largest
of any class is an unnatural growth
They have risen above the usual mark,
and ii costs more 10 keep them in position
than it would were they on a level with
their species. "Follow Nature" is a rule
lev 10 be forgotten by farmers. Large
men are not the best for business; large
hogs are mol the hogs 10 falten best; large
hens are not the best for laying eggs
Extremes are 10 be avoided. We want
we'll formed animals rather than such as
have large bones. Odd as it may be to
the ;heorist, shori-legged soldiers are bet
ter on the march, and officers say they
endure hardships better han those Of
longer limbs. On choosing i horse take
care by all means, that he has short legs.
If they are long and split apart like a pair
of d~ividers, eve inquire The price of the
dealer; make 10 offer-Saqgot HarJor

relates his troubles while Their:
"While in the Central Railroad office
waiting for the Oswego train, we r%cclined
on n of The benches, four head aching
rather badly,) when We were roughly
ordered cut, by a railroad official with the
polite information that ''they didn't fur
nish lodging for strangersF'
Hardly had we passed through The
"hole the carpenter made;" when a chap
hailed us with 81 say, Teller, help me car
ry this trunk" We meekly passed TO The
extreme east part of The depot, and look
hold of the end Of a large trunk which we
assisted to place at the desired location,
when we were discharged without the
customary si1pence.
Sadly bordering on our hard fate, we
passed slowly along, when we wefecaught
ly the coat collar. aud a harsh guttuial
voice exclaimed "W thar bin 2"
We turned, and To- a fat, ~ill-favored
squaw greeted our as;onished eyes. The
moment she saw our features, she grunt-
ed out, Ugh! tort yOu Oos my hJun!
and Immediately waddlcd away.
Half blind with rage and modification,
our next move was 10 stumble in amongst
pile of baggage, when VI were greeted,
with "D-n you get out of t%lri>l'' adding
In an undeItone, "wonder what the ID
you expect 10 steal here" Just at this
moment Conductor Fiske called out to US,
"Here get into the cars and go home be-
fore the cOus eat goa up!' We crawled
into The hind car like a whipped hound,
and threw ourself recklessly into a seat.

She, seeing the damage we'd done, sqnall

you've split my new bonneir"
Ccnceaiing our shame and confusion
as well as we could, we subsidized into an

kicked out of the cars at u village de-
