Wool Growing.

The Secretary of the Vermont State Agri-
cultural Society, Daniel Needham, in his
annual report, has tho following remarks
upon the important subject Of wool growing:
Tho price Of wool for the next few years,
reasoning from analogy, must be high The
cotton crop will not be planted extensively
at the South as it has been iu years past;
and if the blockade is not raised by the first
Of April next, in many States it will not be
planted at ALL Should the rebellion not be
suppressed within another year, as very
likely it may not be, very little of the cotton
crop of last year will find its way TO market
for the next eighteen months; aud when We
consider that the people must be clothed.
that the use of woolen fabrics during the
present high price Of cotton goods is much
more economical; that the million Of men in
the field wear and destroy, in weight, a third
more Of clothing than in the peaceful ayoca-
tions of life; that at the South all the car,
pets have been cut up into blankets aud that
very little Of the worn out stock will be sup
piled until peace is restorod-from the TACT
that the South has not even the raw material
to replenish with-the whole seeding States
| Ohio alone; it can be seen that not only
during the war, but at its close, when the
million Of men in the army return TO their
former employments, discard their military
clothing, and dress as they were wont in
broadcloth and doeskins, the price of wool
must continue above the average price for
the last five years. In time Of war, ths
quality Of wool is a matter of no small eonse-
quence. Vermont has limited herselfto the
production ofthe finest wools But the wool
most in demand now, and bringing the high.
est prices, is a cosrser grade. The qcery
may well be made, whether it will not be
equally profitable for us to turn our atten-.
tion to the production of somewhat coarser
staple and at the same time furnish richer
and higher priced mutton for the market

cheer for the Disheartened.

1t is sad thing when any person, old or
young, goes through his work in eowed
spirit. do not mean goes through it in a
jaded, heartless way merely, but goes
through it 10 the bare hope Of escaping
blams. A great part Of all that is done in
this world is done in this way. Many chill
dren, many servants. many clerks, aud even
several parsons, 20 through their daily
rounds thus. / need not say how poorly that
work will usually be done which the man
wishes just to get through without any great
reprobation; but think how unhappily it
will be done, and what miserable training
of heart and mind it is. 1t seems to me
that few people do their work heartily, and
really as well as they can. And people whose
desire is merely to get through somehow,
seem to stand to their work as at a level
below it. The man who honestly does his
best, works from above; his task is below
him; he is master of it, however hard it may
be. The man who hopes no more than To
escape censure, and who accordingly aims at
nothing more, seems to work from below;
his task is above him; he is cowed by it.
Let us resolve that we shall always give
praise when we can. You will find many
people who are always willing to find fault
with their servants, ii they do everything
wrong, but who never say an approving
word when they do right. You will find
many who do the like as to their own chill
drcn. And only too often that wretched
management breaks the spring Of the youth
tul spirit. Yes, many little children are
cowed, and the result is either permanent,
dull quiesence, never to be got over, or a
fierce reaction against the tyranny that en-
bittered early years-s reaction which may
sometimes cast off the bonds of natural affec-
ton, and even of moral restraint. How il
encourages and cheers the cowed little fel'
low, growing upin the firm belief that he IL
hopelessly wicked, and never can do any
thing to please any one, to try reward as
change from constant punishment and bully
ing. Ihave seen the good effect upon sucf
an one Of kind, approving word. How
much more cheerful the work will be done
how much better it will be done, and hov
much happier man he will be who does It
A poor fellow who never expects that b
can please, and who barely hopes that b
may pass without censure and abuse, Wi
do his task very heartlessly. Let us prais
warmly and heartily wherever praise
deserved. And if we weigh the matter, "
shall fiud that n grcus dcai- Of hearty prnit
is deserved in this world on every day tha
shines upon it Rev. A. H. Boyd.

The Recent Conclave of Secession
Sympathizers at Washington.


The master spirit, the chief getter-up and
manager, of the recent caucus at Washing
ton for the reorganization of the Democratic
party, was Mr.. Vallandigham, Of Ohio,
whose earnest and even active sympathy
with the rebellionis seen clearly by the whole
nation, in spite Of the thin and himsy veil
that he attempts to throw overit. The tact
is perfectly aud generally understood, indeed
1t is notorious, that he is at heart as much
in favor of the rebel cause as any member
Of the rebel Congress st Rich
mond can possibly be. And, whatever
might be the real effect Of the policy he at
tempted to inaugurate at the meeting, the
policy, that is, of the reorganization OF the
Democracy of the non-slaveholding States
under its partisan flag, there can be no just
doubt that his motive in making the move
ment was thoroughly disloyal. He was de-
hberately acting as the friend and ally OF
the rebels, acting in the way that he deem
ed best calculated to promote their success.
And it is observable, that the persons that
acted with him in this matter are, so far as
it is known who they were, men whose loyal
ty to the flag of the country has been sus-
pected and in some instances more than
suspected. Morever, if We look at those
newspapers in the non-slaveholding States
of the West, which applaud the movement
of Vallandigham and Co. and insist that
the Democratic party, under its old name
and banner, shall take and keep the political
field, We shall find that they are almost, if
not quite without exception, papers which
favored Breckinridge, the disunion candi
date, in the Presidential canvass, and which
now go as far they think they can safely ven
ture in opposing the Federal Government
and oovertly giving aid and comfort to the
rebellion. They are papers, which, although
published on the north side of the Ohio riv
er, are freely circulated among the rebels Oh
the south side OF it, who have the sagacit.
to recognize their friends through Aims.

The Cure for Dipther.a..

The Lewiston LNle. Evening Journal says
that the cure for diptheria communicated
tn the public n few weeks ago. by Melrose
correspondent Of the Boston journal, has
proved a valuable cue, and that gentleman
of that town who was suffering from the
disease adopted the method Of treatment
suggested, and found relief almost instan-
taneously. The article recommended, it will
be recollected by many, was the Actea Race
mosa, or black snake root, used locally hs a
gargle, and internally. We repeat the diree-
tiohs for using the remedy. Eeg ooi-y'
''As gargle, one teaspo6nfnl Of the tine
ture is added to two tablespoonfnls ofwater;
and gargled every hour for "a hours. or till
the progress of the disease is arrested; after
which che intervals may be extended to an
hour and half or more, as the symptoms
may justify. In connection with the use of
fhe gargle. or separately, the adult patient
should take Internally to the amount Of two
or three tablespoonfuls of the tincture in the
course of "a hours In addition TO the fore
going, i give ten drops Of the muriated tinc-
ture Of iron three times "a hours, and .
powder OF three to FIVE grains Of the chlorate
Of potash in the interval .sse,s.
The above, it must be noted, are doses FOR
adults, and in the cases Of children the
quantities will have to be diminished accord.
