siW and Horses.

COL Needham, the Corresponding Secretary
of the Agricultural Society, in his recent report
read at the Annual Meeting of the Society at
Bellows Falls, makes the following timely sue-
gestion respecting the production of wool and
horses in Vermont
The price of wool for the next few years, rea-
soning from analogy, must be high. The cotton
crop will not be planted extensively at thcsouth
as it has been in years past and il 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 q year: las very
likely it may not be, very little OF the cotton
crop Of 1851 Will find its way to market for the
next eighteen months: and when we consider
that the people must be clothed that the use of
wooden fabrics during the present hish price of
Gotten 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 avocations OF life, that ut the South
all the carpets havo been cut up into blankets
and that very little of the worn out stock will
be supplied until peace is restored from the
fact that the South has not even the raw mate
rial to replenish with,-the whole seeding
States not producing as much wool as the State
of Ohio, alone it can be seen, that not only
during the war, but at its close, when the mil
lion OF men in the army return to their former
employments, discard their military clothing,
and dress as they were wont in broadcoths and
does ins, the price OF wool must continue above
the average price for the last five years. In
time of war, the quality of wool is a matter of
no small consequence. Vermont has limited
herself to the production of the finest wools-
But the wool most in demand now, and bring
ing the highest prices, is u coarser grade. The
query may we'll be made, whether it will not be
equally profitable for US to turn our attention
to the production OF a somewhat coarser staple
and at tie same time furnish richer and higher
priced mutton for the market.
The number of horses in Vermont, before the
breaking out of the rebellion, was about fifty
five thousand since which time, it is calculated
that nearly ten thousand have been taken from
the State Tor army purposes. This immense
levy for horses has been made upon the entire
country. When it is considered that compar-
atvely few Of these horses will find their way
back; that the number that Will die of disease
or become unfit for service is twenty times as
great, as it would be were they used IN other
kinds of business and that to meet this great
want of the Government a large portion Of the
business horses in our large cities have beeo
brought up; it readily appears that even during
the war, horses must increase in value and at
it's close, when business shall revive and trade
resume its accustomed channels, the demand for
horses must greatly exceed the supply Rea-
soning from these premises, no more profitable
labor can be engaged in than the production OIL
business horses.

COAL Oil EXPLOSION. -Attention has recently
been 50 frequently called to explosions of Coal
Oil, or Kerosene Oil, that the non explosive rep
utation of this illumination is now pretty much
" exploded" But as this explosive character
does mt belong alike to all the family OF Coal
Oils, the following from Montreal paper. may
prove useful in distinguishing the harmless from
the dangerous article:
g There is large group of Hydro Carbon
Olls, designated as Naptha, Kerosene, Paratlne,
and dozen other fantastic nlmes, the products
of the same substances and differing little in
general appearance from each other, and not
greatly in chemical composition. Those used
for illuminating purposes may be divided into
two classes {; the first, which is very light in
gravity, thin and spurious in substance, is the
first product Of rectifcation, is ex, eedngly in
Aammable and dangerous, and its vapor will take
fire and explode, and the same result may hap
pen from the shaking Of a lamp or other cause.
Its most distinctive mark is the taking on fire
on the surface, and burning with a bright flame
whena light is applied to it in any open vessel.
This oil is little less dangerous than camphcne.
70 use it is to run the risp OF frightful death.
The second class is dcnser IN gravity, thicker
and more oil like, seldom as light in color, is
the middle product of OSCILLATION, is not direct
]y inflammable, unless heated or thrown on
some burning substance and its distinctive
mark is that in ordinary temperatures it will
not take fire on the surface by the application
Of light, but it will extinguish lighted
match or paper thrown into it. This oil is per-
fecty safe, and no accident need be feared from
it,

Crown and Cross.

It seemed a cross of bitter scorh,

And pressed its st ngng points of pam,
Through ouivering nerve and bursting Ytin'

And, failing the appointed task,
No other service might ask.
AS on my weary way passed,
Ready 70 faint and fall at last.

And blossoms for the thorns had place,
Upon my head a browning grace,
That brought me through the burning hours
The cool and healing touch of flowers

And truth upheld through scorn my cross.

The OLDEST REcoRD.-The oldest of all
records of which we have any knowledge was
written upon swift flying ray of light. Sir
William Herschel estimated that some tho
nebule which were family visible by the
means of his forty foot reflector were so re-
mote that light occupied two millions of years
in coming from them to us. Consequently
We sec the nebula, not as they are now,
but as they were two millions of years ago.
Looking in The telescope, we are reading the
very oldest Of histories. Since the nobule
had the form which it presents to us--snce
the ray of light started forth to convey the
intelligence of this form, races of men have
advanced from barbarsm to civilization and
have written voluminous histories, which have
mouIdered into dust and yet the light bears
its shining record across the ages as bright as
when in was first SO curiousIy written upon
the flying ray.
