SHEEP MovING WEsT.-We regret
that there is no method of determining
the number and volue of sheep export
ed from this County, but any facts
bearing upon the subject cannot but be
of interest. We find in the Cleveland
Review of Nov. 6, a statement of the
number received at George Thompson's
Stables, in tina: city, since Aug 2S.-
The list contains the names of the own
ers and their residences. With the
greater part We are acquainted. The
number of sheep as thus given is 5344;
1900 of these from Addison Co. and
few towns adjoining. What proportion
of the Sheep going west from this sec
ton go through Cleveland, or what part
of these are entertained at 'Thompson's
Stables we have no means of knowing,
but the fact that 1900 fine wooded
Sheep have been taken from Addison
County to Ohio and Kentucky within
a little more than two months will give
some idea of the extent of the traffic,
which is limited only by the ability of
the breeders to furnish the Sheep
Mid. Register.

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY.--Dec. 1860. Bos-
ton Ticknor & Fields.
The following notice Of the Atlantic for
December, We take from the Boston Journal {:
The present number is, on the whole, as
valuable and attractive as any lately issued.
1t opens with an article entitled "The United
States and the Barbary States" which gives
a very interesting account of the way IN
which Eaton, Preble, and Decatur carried
our "war into Africa" Sunshine" which
follows, is we'll written and readable story.
"The two tongue" amusingly contrasts Amer
can and British idioms. and vindicates the
former. Miss Prescott's midsummer and
Nav" is continued with increasing interest ;
and the same remark, with more emphasis,
may be applied to the professors" capital
"Story." A touching tribute is paid to the
brief career of Arthur Hallam. 1.-The Con-
fessions of Medium" will be read with
much interest, even by those who cannot con-
cur in all the writer says. The paper on
"John Andre and Honora Sneyd" fully vim
dicates the popular sympathy which ever
seems to be awakened by the mention OF
those historical characters. The reviews and
literary notices, comprising such widely diff
fering subjects as Roger Bacon, Popular Mu'
sic of the Olden Time, and Palmers Folk
Songs, appear to be written with spirit and
discrimination.
The Atlantic for the New Year will COM
mence a new novel by Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe, also one by Charles Reade. Among
the regular contributors to the columns OF
this periodical, are II. W. Longfellow, Nathl
Hawthorne, James Russell Lowell, o. W.
