The GREAT WooL SALE AT CLEvE-
LAND, ONO, on the 4th and 9TH inst,
was very successful. The Cleveland Her
dtd Of Saturday says: $50 far as we can
learn, tie sale passed off TO the satisfaction
Of all parties. Most of the sales were
made direct to Eastern manufacturers. or
their accredited agents. Buyers had to
pay higher prices than the limits they had
set themselves when they came out, and
the effects of The sale has been to sustain
the rates paid at the opening Of the season.
In nearly every Instance the lots went Mt
an advance on the prices estimated by wool
judges who were not in the market. The
average quality Of the wool sold was very
good. One lot of 500 lbs, sold at 7.,c.
was pronounced by good judges 10 be Of as
good quality as any in America, and lot
of 500 lbs, at 72c., was also of excellent
quality. The quantity of wool sold did
not fall short of 100000 lbs, and the value
must have amounted to over quarter of
million dollars.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

So. READING, Aug. 10, 1859.
As yet / find but little 10 write that
would interest the readers of the TIMES.
Away from editorial labors, among the far
mers and their bountiful crops, among the
play grounds of my childhood and con-
stantly meeting old friends not seen before
for years, find myself enjoying pleas
ant season Of recreation.
The drouth is quite severe in some pla-
ces. Frosty June and the present droulh
will, think, make the corn crop little
below the average, in Vermont, this year.
From Cbarestown and Springfield to
Felchville, the earth seems as ashes an |
the sky as brass. In some Instances the
corn leaves seem to have rolled ard un-
rolled till worn out. Potatoes are thus
kept back, but generally the crops are good
and abundant.
Tarryng moment in Springfield,
took hasty glimpse at Gales tailoring es-
Enlistment, and note the particular neat
ness and good order of the premises, which

success. Hurrah for Gale ] just looked

pressed in convention shonld be respected
hut still. intimations have been made by the
friends Of Mr.. Harris, that he viii submit
his claims to the County, and run as an IN
dependent candidate, for the office of Sen
ator. We have too high opinion of Mr.
Harris, TO suppose for a moment that he
will occupy such questionable position as
this before the county. Ii needs no ex-
tended remarks, to SHOW the utter folly OF
such course. This must be obvious to
every person who will candidly consider
the matter. That Mr.. Harris feels agriev-
ed we have no doubt that his friends SYM
pathise with him, and would desire to have
him relieved from his unpleasant situation
is equally certain but it is also true that
it will not mend the NATTER should Mr..
Harris, giving way to the wounded feelings
occasioned by his defeat decide to run as
an independent candidate, and thereby pit
ting himself against the regular nominee Of
ulo party iot u uSica' uiiiSi ouSh S''Nuui-
stances would be ignominious and even sue
cess would be nearly as disastrous. 1t will
never do. If injustice has been done Mr..
Harris, it will surely be known, and in due
time, all proper amends viii be made him.
And, mark our words, it will be better for
the party, better for him, and all concerned,
that all needed redress should be freely
and voluntarily extended, rather than
forcibly, and defantly obtained. And we
have no doubt all will acknowledge the
truth of this, upon a moments candid re-
Election.
One word in relation to our ticket. 1t is
good one, unexceptionable we believe, in
every respect. Even the friends of Mr..
Harris, are forced to acknowledge that if
they must have another in his place, they
know of no one they could support SO will
ingly, as Mr.. Richardson.
There is no reason then why we should
not give our nominees good old fashioned
Republican majority.

practical and Illustrative, and conveying
much very desirable instruction and inform
alton in most attractive and impressive
manner.
Mr.. l.. ii. Austin, Tutor in Middlebury
College, at the conclusion of the singing
that followed the Lecture Of Mr.. Russell,

reading in Mental Culture. A
brief discussion followed, and the Conven-
ton adjourned till Wednesday morning.
In the evening, social reunion was
held in the spacious rooms of the Universi-
Iy, Which were crowded with a pleasant
assemblage of visitors and many citizens of

Mr.. Adams closed this part of the cere-
mony by one of his otf-hand, good-humored
speeches, inviting everybody to ignore
further formality, aud get acquainted with
every body else, and have a good time gen
orally.
The agreeable gathering" social and
sensible, broke up between ten and eleven.
