The Wool Trade.

p During the last week considerable
wool changed hands in Ohio at a range
of from fifty to sixty cents, and some
little we hear of at sixty-two cents. At
these rates the local buyers are gradu-
ally picking up the small clips and the
gradeiwOol. In Madison, Clarke and
Greene, the price has been from fifty
six to sixty cents, and we are informed
of some good clips of from four hun
dred and fifty to one thousand feeces
that have been taken at these figures
In, Licking the movement is still slow
one, and in other parts of the State,
the better feeling, and buyers informed
us that they should probably break
over the general standing rule of sixty
cents. In Crawford county, Ohio, the
highest pricepaid is sixty-two CENTS
From Philadelphia we learn that the
contracts for Government goods have
been closed or annuIIed, and most of
the manufacturers have changed their
machinery to. cloths, cassimetes, and
otheriseasonahle goods suitable for citi-
zens wear This has caused an increas-
ed demand for fine woods, both for To-
cal and eastern consumption. .Vand for

Upon this point we would like to offer
word of advice to our young men. There

Virginia needs their services, and Brazil

this: to control their feelings, to follow

The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has
decided that the law of Congress re-
quiring stamps on legal process, in the
beginning or other stage of suit, is un,
constitutional, and therefore void, and
that the stamps on legal papers are not
necessary. The ground ofthe decision is
that the imposition of a tax upon any
proceedings in State Court is an lnva-
sion of the right of State to regulate
proceedings in its own Court; that If Con
gress can tax these proceedings at all, it
can lay a tax that will practically amount
to prohibition, and thus legislato the
State Courts out of existence.
