Wool Prospect.

Cold and unusually wet weather has
preveiled dnripg the last month, with
every indication that sheep shearing will
be later than usual. A large corps of
wool buyers have made their appearance
in this city, preparatory to circulating
over their respective grounds.
Among them we notice some new men
but generally those who have c~anvassed
the country for years past.
When we take into consideration the
unfortunate times through which wool
dealers and manufacturers hare passed,
we are confident woods will rule high
though we. do not believe parties will
buy at last years prices. We have rea,
Sous to believe that next August prices
will approximate very near to early
prices of last year, and instead of being
discouraged at future prospects, we think
wool growers should be very much en-
couraged. The increased consumption,
ana decrease in growth of wool for the
last few year, must cause a strong desire
to procure woods, provided growers are
prepared to take low figures, in which
case wocls will move Cleav-
hnd Wool GrOacer.

~SPIRITuAEIsM AN ExoTIc.-We have al
length been enabled we think, to trace
the lineage of our Yankee "Fakirs y
who perform such fantastic tricks under
the name of spiritualism." A CON
munication from a missionary now ID
China, is published in the June number
of "The Home and Foreign Record
which shows that "~spiritualism " is no
new thing among the most ignorant and
superstitious castles of the Chinese
Whether our I" s~piritualists" can claim
kindred with their ~antipodal friends or
not, the paper before us would persuade
any one of the marvellous identity be
tween the manifestations" of both
Whatever may be the opinions of the
curious touching the point of lineage, it
may be safely assumed that both the
Chinese and Yankee spirits may trace
the origin of their system to one COM
mon father, who is the source of lies and
humbug, and who has maintained his
kingdom some six thousand years BY
such victims as lie "picks up in China
and around Boston Bay.
In China, they have demons or spir-
its from the dead" Haven't they the
same in New England /?
In China they have "spirits with
bodies "-and SO they have on the West
ern Reserve.
In China they have familiar spirits ~
The "free lowers" at Berlin Heights
have some of the same sort.
In China they have few spirits of
h%ealtb," but have an ample supply of
"Goblin's damned y
And SO they have in all those localities
in this country where a softening of the
creates a mental soil adapted to a
rank growth of the "isms" of the day.
Had We space, we would copy some of
the details of the Chinese SYSTEM, as
illustration of the important fact
hat those who cast aside the everlasting
of the Bible, at once turn their
backs upon civilization, and enter a viii
which is the abode of pagaus and

Mr.. Editor In your issue of last
week, 1 perceive that Mr.. S. ROWLAND
has taken upon himself the kindness of
addressing a piece of advice to his in
termeddliug friends. Now, I have few
words to say about this great mistake,
which he says has taken place about the
statement of his actual amount of grain
on hand at the time of assessing. In
his communication he says that we, "his
intermeddling friends" have said that he
gave five hundred bushels short of his
actual amount unto the Assessor-such
is not the case, but we did say that the
actual amount of grain on hand at the
time of assessing was some five hundred
bushels. The amount of grain which
he had threshed last season was 297 bus,
and the surplus from the year before
was @me 200 bushels more, which in all
would be 497 bushels, and as the amount
which he gave unto the Assessor, is only
100 bushels, which leaves 37S bushels
to account for.
Now. to test his liberality, we would
make a proposition to him. He to ap-
point a day on which he will meet a com
mittee of his +" intermeddliDg friends
and have an honest measurement of
what grain may be found on his premi-
ses, and all grain over and above the
amount which he gave to the Assessor,
to be given unto the Public School fund,
or to any charitable Institution of Ash
land county. We want him to under.
stand that We use the word grain instead
OF wheat.
