From the Cleveland Wool Grower.

HWe have two objects in view in
clipping the following from the Clsveland
Herald First, to show the price of Wool
which we REGARD correct in the article sign
ed "Facts." Second, ''Union" affords US
an opportunity to allude to subject float
ing through his article which We are salts
fed is not clearly understood, though we
are quite willing to leave the matter where
We find it, to be regulated by merchants
and farmers as at present. We are very
ssnguine though. that our country mer-
chants would find it more directly to their
interest to open up the very best market
for farm products, and especially that Of
Wool, and in every reasonable way aid
their customers--ths wool-growers-in pro-
curing remuuerative prices for their sur
plus products. For such fayors on the
part of Merchants, would not the Farmer
feel grateful! And would not the legiti-
mate profit of merchants be largely in
creased by such course! for We believe
there are few farmers who would not ap-
preciate such efforts on the part of mer-
chants to open up TO the producer legiti-
mate prices for wool. Wherever this course
is pursued, We believe the merchants profits
are largely increased. Let there be ss-
tablished in every prominent wool growing
county in the State, Wool Depot for re-
eeiving, grading and selling woods; eonfn-
ing it strictly to this department, and the
profits of the farmer would be much larger
than at present. And merchants who en-
courage such outlets for products, will in
crease their custom, while manufacturers
will obtain their wools quite as cheap and
far more satisfactory; for with this system
Of economy, the expense of handling will
become comparatively triaing. ais
We have thrown out these suggestions
for merchants and wool-groxers, believing
that if they are properly matured and act
ed upon, they viii lead to beneficial re-
suits; for We are prepared to believe that
merchants would be largely benefited in
stead of 'being ruined" by extending such
facilities to farmers.

~ DR.. Aussandon, well known Pari.

to his wife who Immediately sent for med

Aussandon was furious at having been
again recalled to existence, and, fully de-
termined to carry his purpose into effect,
he fred pistol at his own heart. His
death was instantaneous.
Aussandon was man of great geneali-
ty, and aud very fond of telling entertain
ing stories. The following anecdote was
related by him not long since to circle Of
amsed listeners:
A young gentleman of excellent family
was on intimate terms with charming
woman, who loved him deyotedly, and
who was exceedingly indignant that be did
not reciprocate her own violent passion
One day when talking to him of her disin-
terested and genuine love, be listening and
laughing, she all al once rose from her
seat, and in a towering rnge, demanded
what she should do to prove the truth of
her assertions.
my dear Leonie," replied the young
man, "I never will believe in a young wo-
mans love, until she shall have killed her.
self for me-" o ssl I'D
The room in which this scene occurred
was on the third story. The window was
open. Leonie suddenly threw herself out.
The frightened youth rushed down stairs,
and into the street like mailman. He
expected to find the mangled body of the
infatuated creature lying upon the pave
ment, but to his great astonishment, she
not only disappeared, but no trace of the
dreadful act was left. By providential
chance, Leonie had fallen, without serious
injury, into the carriage of a rich English
man, passing BY at the moment. Struck
with her beauty, he asked the bswildered
fair one her commands, and before the ter
rifed lover reached the street, she had
consented to accompany her savior to Eng
land. - , ..I iza's.,...

Then in q calmsr and more feeling tone
she continued. ...

She passed from the room as the tears
which she conld no longer control coursed
rapidly down her cheeks. She repaired
al once to the bedside of her mother, in
whose soul the last chickering's of life were
fast failing. She knelt beside her, and
even as she prayed, her worn spirit was re-
leased from bondage!
'Alone! an orphan! God help mev she
exclaimed, as she pressed her trembling
lips to those that had SO often met hers in
love.
Jenning fingered not long; soon after be
on his way to England, where lived as
traitors should, in splendid disgrace. He's
ter became the wife of a young Revolution
ary officer, and lived long enough to give
to her descendants the valuable example
of the Christian and the patriot mother.

uORsE.TAnIING.

Mr. WILLIAMS, of Georgia, was in our town this
week, and led small company Of us into the
mysteries of s'horse-taming." We are seven"
with him having paid the fee and obtained 'val-
ue received" and yet for his kindly, patient,
earnest, and well-bred manner of teaching, and
the perfect fairness Of the man, we can afford to
extend to him cordial testimonial. To the ex-
tent we were enabled to carry it, the class unan-
imously pronounced his system sound, and his
practical exemplifcation of it complete success.
On Monday, his experiment was upon fine
horse belonging to Mr.. ]. T. LowRY-well known
here as the most vicious dare-devilish unconquer-
ably malicious animal in either town or country.
An umbrella was Orchards" peculiar abhor-
renee, and the testimony of his owner assured US
that he never could, in any manner, bring an um-
brella within twenty feet of him. Our "Rare-y"
took hold of Richard-so named for the "Lion-
Hearted" and in about two hours the conquered
beast, the reins over his neck was seen following
"the master" up street, quietly and submissively,
with an open umbrella tied to his tail! After
such an exhibition, argument is useless.
We have no hesitancy in recommending Mr..
WILLIAMS to all lovers of the horse. Indeed, to
any man the information impaired in his lessons
may, and in time is almost sure to be made far
more valuable than the small sum expended in
procuring it. Mr.. W. has gone to Charlotte.

- 4 Living Head on a Dead Body.-The New
burgh Indsz gives the following curious but mel
auc6oly particulars of respectable farmer in
that neighborhood, who was once resident OF
that city:
"Mr. Archibald Campbell, q respectable farmer
in the township Of Camden, East, while engaged
in finishing new dwelling on his premises, the
scaffold gave way, and he was prscipitated head
foremost to the ground and dislocated his neck,
but very fortunately and mysteriously did not kill
him. When his head was brought to its proper
position the vetebr of his neck returned to their
place with dull, but distinct snap. The whole
body is paralyzed and dead from the neck down
wards. He is not capable Of moving muscle
or experiencing the slightest pain. Fortunately
the nerves supplying the muscles used in resPira-
ti,n were paralyzed, and he can breath and live.
Had the injury Of the spinal cord been little
higher he would have died Immediately. The
senses of sight, hearing, smelling, &c., are normal
and his intellect unimpaired."

Opinions ofhp Prince Imperial Of France on the
Causes ofthe War.-One morning, while the war
was vet at its height the Prince Imperial, who is
on ;ntAlissnt and attractive child and speaks En-
gsh they say, better than French terribly i.S 5 Pns
zled his attendants, who were at table with MIN,
the Austrians being beaten, beaten. What have have
the Austrians done to be beaten so much y"
"Mais Monseigneur, they are not sages-not well
behaved" "But what they done-what have
thew done?" When the Prince saw the wise per-
sons whom he questioned at loss to explain the
short comngs Of the Austrians towards the French,
be said, "Oh, yes, now know-now know, they
don't keep their hands and faces clean, and they
wont say their prayers" Carelessness in the
matter of ablution, and occasional neglect Of pri-
vate devotion were the only offences which, in the
innocent mind of the Prince, could at all justify
the punishment inflicted on the Austrians. Now,
as peace is made, his Imperial Highness is proba-
bly, convinced that considerable reformation has
been affected in both these respects and that the
Austrians wash their hands and recite the rosary.

Free Neoroes in tho North,

The N. Y. Herald, of last Thursday, devotes q
column to an inquiry into the constantly depress-
ing condition of the free negroes Of the North, and
AYERS that they are sinking into helpless and hope.
less pauperism, and winds up with the following:
"The logical deduction from these facts is, that
the Northern States will return to the enactment
of the laws establishing negro slavery and sell all
the free negroes into family servitude. Humanity
will demand this, to preserve them from being re-
duced to o state Of degradation terrible to con-
template, by the increasing competition Of the
white race. Policy will require it to save the
community from the burden of hundreds of thous-
ands of able.bodied paupers which can make, no
headuay Of themselves. The negro himself will
ask it, in order that he may be restored to that
consideration in society to which he is entitled rs
q man. They will then be absorbed into our fam
lilies again as servants, mechanics, husbandmen,
and will be relieved from the social ban which
now attends them in consequence Of their doubt
full position and increasing degradation" -
Startling as this prediction may appear, remarks
the Macon Telegraph, it could find its practical
fulfllment in Northern towns without any change
in their laws or customs. AS paupers, the ne
groes could be and probably are, annually sold to
whoever will accept their services and maintain
them at the lowest cost to the town; and the mis-
fortune Of the negroes in this case, would be q
liability to change Of masters every year. The
Hsrald's proposition for permanent ownership
is much more humane =. ,..,. D.,

THE NATIONAL DIVISION.

To our friend, Maj. B. D. TOWNSEND, the Most
Worthy Patriarch of the National Division, we are
indebted for copy of the proceedings Of that
body, which assembled at Philadelphia, in June
last. Delegates were present, from thirty-two ju-
risdctons, and the Order generally, is represen-
ted as in more healthy condition than for seve-
raj years past. We learn from the report of the
Most Worthy Scribe, that II, 900 members have
been added within the past year. There are at
this time es5 Divisions in operation, with MEM
bership of 76,422. The number of deaths in the
different jurisdictions is put down at only 4e5!-
This last item speaks volumes in favor of temper
ance and sobriety.
