Sheep Shearing.

If possible the sheep should be in the
pasture the night before shearing, as they
are more easily sheared and less likely
to be cut when their bodies are well filed.
Yet ii is advisable to have them near by
AS long drive when the grass is heay-
lily covered with dew is likely to add to
the weight of the fleece. The shearing
floor should be clean, and a table or bench
provided for doing up the heeces, also a
bench some fifteen inches high to shear
upon. If the shearers are expected to
do good days work, the sheep should
be caught for them by strong hand,
who can handle them firmly and carefully.
The stable floor should be cleaned occa-
Isionally, or kept well Uttered with straw.
The shears should be sharp and easily
sprung; if the spring is too stiff, grind
it thinner.
Ia doing up wool it is considered .hae
best way to spread the fleece upon the ia
BILE with the outside of the fleece up, then
tear it in two, so that what comes from
the shoulders and forward half of the
sheep eball be in one piece. Put the
other half upon the top of this, with the
outside up roll the e''es in as compactly
as possible; in tn LAY if the outside
wool breaks apart, it shows the clean,
newly cut wool inside. In tieing up use
plenty of string. Large flock masters
use presses to aid in giving
squareness, symmetry, and compactness.
In former years the fneness of wool
sensibly affected its price, and as we read
the prices of different grades it was diff
cult to decide upon the merits of respec-
tive fieeces. The following is quoted for
what it is worth as a rule for testing the
quality of WOOL
" Take a lock of wool from the sleeps
back and place it upon an inch rule. If
you can count from thirty to thirty three
of the spiralS or folds ia the space of an
inch, it equals in quality the finest electo-
raj of Saxony wool grown. OF course
when the number of spiraIs to an inch
the quality of the wool becomes
relatively inferior. Many tests have been
tried, but this is considered the simplest
and best. Cotswold wool and some 9th
er inferior woods do not measure nine
'plrals to the inch. There are some
coarse woods which experienced wool
growers do not rank as wool, but as hair,
N account of the hardness and straight
less of fiber" Z.E. j.

We have thus briefly sketched the sit

MISUNDERSTANDING never wen
on much more 5riskly in this county than
now. Corporal NJ. G. Sergeant has en-
listed twenty seven men at Newport, and
d. II. Gilman Of Troy has done even
better than that, though we have not yet
learned the exact number that he has OBJ
tanned. Both these gentlemen are re-
cruiting for the 18th list artillery regi-
ment-one of the very best regiments in
the service. Walk up, patriots; now is
your time. Better enlist now and not

Louisian ma.

There is no state of the Union In which
the drifting Of public sentiment aad the
course Of public events are to be watch
ed with more of interest than in Louisi-
ana. Its geographical position gives it
prominence upon the continent. 1t holds
, the delta of the Mississippi, and it is also
tho central state upon The Gulf 1t is
the representative region, too, with re-
gard to all southern and semi-tropical pro-
ducts. II abounds in cotton, and it is the
} seat of the sugar culture. Whatever
systems of industry, and whatever type
of social customs and Of civil institutions
prevail here, can be relied on to be ex-
tended over the adjacent districts.
A special significance is given to these
conditions by the fact that Louisiana,
more than any other of the early sece-
ding states, has now been brought under
federal authority. All its channels of
commerce are controlled by the general
government, and its richest agricultural
sections are occupied and guarded by
our armies. 1t is a matter of the great
est consequence, therefore, to see what
course is likely to be taken by the people
OF that state, as they are now situated
The question whether the territory itself. |
with its soil and with all its coasts and
rivers, is to remain under the federal rule.
is not, indeed, at issue. 1t is so TO be.
whether or not the population now resi-.
dent there shall choose it. But it is TO
be determined if new elements must be
introduced, with new inhabitants, to shape
Its Institutions in accordance with its
certain destiny or whether out of the
materials already existing and on the
ground, society can be organized and
the framework of a state set I'D, that

BIG EGGs.--Mr. Erastus Chamber
lain of this town has lately presented us
with couple of hens eggs, measuring
8 by l'2, and 8 l-l6 by 6 inches in cir
conference, respectively. Ifany one can
show a smarter old pullet than the one
that did the above, we should like to
know it. These were "extras," howev-
err, and not her irregular issues" One
of them was dropped at the time Rich
mond was taken, and the other when
Vicksburg fell.

DECAMPED.-Meigs Hill, who has in
habited our new Jail for several weeks
past, and having the liberty Of the house
and grounds adjacent, decamped on Fri
day afternoon last at about five o'clock.
He was sent for a pail Of water, which
he brought and placed upon the door
step, when he coolly walked off, and
when the jai!or came to look for him
some fifteen minutes later, be was not to
be found. He has been heard from how
ever, but in Canada, where he cannot be
taken by any process of law. He was
confined for having two wives. How he
got one is more than we can comprehend,
for he was an " ornary looking cuss."
AT about twelve o'clock on the same
night Ira Barnes and Frank Warren,
both confined for theft, left by means of
a wooden key, with which they unlocked
their prison door and walked out into the
entry, showed up a window and dropped
to the ground, when they also started for
Canada in search of their friend Hill
They were kidnapped on Tuesday NOR
ming last by posse of men who sur
rounded a barn in which they had gone
to rest, and thus they were " caught nap
ping" They were lodged in the Jail the
same day, and we presume will "roost
lower" after this.

Reflections and Opinions.

A former ardent Democratic student
at Lewisburg, having enlisted in Illinois,
writes as follows to friend here

to have around your table over the gener-
al questions of the day-.he Sumner and
Brooks affair in particular. Little did
we dream that that was but forerunner
of this terrible storm. Brooks, coward.
like, stole upon Sumner, and dealt him a
blow when he was least able to defend
himself, and that wi,hou: just cause, and
in direct violation of the rules of debate
So the South, through the arch thief
Floyd, stole a march on the North, and
bad everything thci. own way. But tho
tables are turnins-slowly but surely.
Our cold blood has warmed up to the
work at last; there is no fash, but cocl,
calm, deep determination to conquer, not
the people of the South, but their iufa-
nous leaders, and to save ourselves.
| have always been q Democrat-not
Copperhead-never believed Slavery right,
bat considered it recognized and protected
under the constitution and laws. l would
be opposed to making the abolition Of Sla-
very one of the main objects of this war,
but do hope that it may be one Of the in
cidents of it. Slavery has been properly
called a black stain upon the fair fame Of
America; it is now being washed out
With blood All this is very unpleasant
to think Of, yet it must be endured. We
dare no. 60 back, neither dare We stop
where VIC are ; it is empLatically victory
or death. A patched-up peace would be
worse than no peace, and DisunIon is
death. Itseems as though any intelligent
person must see this. l do not have any
personal preferences or prejudices. Show
me the one who is able to lead our armies
on to victory, and l will show you my
man. But what is most needed is unity
of feeling and of purpose. l hope the
Union Leagues will do much towards
bringing abOu. and keeping up such
state of feeling, and that they may not
degenerate into engines having party iu-
terests first, aud country second.
