FROM THE SouTH.-Deserters from the
rebel army at Charleston report that
that city is being evacuated on account
of the near approach Of Gen. Sherman's
army, it being generally believed his
force was too large to be successfully
resisted, and that as he was operating
in the rear of the city, 1t was necessary
to move quickly, before all the avenues
of escape were cut off. 1t was supposed
that Gen. Sherman's force would meet
with but little If any resistance.
At Savannah everything was pro-
crossing satisfactorily at latest dates.
The farmers were bringing in their pro-
duce and the people were becoming rec
onciled to the new order of things The
distractions in Savannah river had been
chiefly removed,
The troops had all gone from the vi
cinity of Fort Fisher, and it was sup
posed were advancing on Wilmington.
Several OF the gunboats were shelling
the roads some distance up the river.
Viewed from the deck of the Massachu-
sets, Fort Fisher presented the appear
ance of a succession of sand heaps the
guns of the feet having so demolished
it as to render it of no avail as de-
fensive work. Most of Admiral Porter's
heavy vessels had gone North.

SHEEP FOR THE WESTERN MARKET
Merrill Bingham, ESQ., Of Cornwall, has
recently returned from tour in West
ern Virginia, Ohio and New York, where
he made sales of sheep to the amount OF
$4,000, and that without effort. His
observations show large and inereas-
ing demand for Vermont sheep, and
owners of thorough bred hocks need not
fear depreciation in prices. He writes
to the Middlebury Register: WISH 10
note and very emphatically, that the de-
mand Is and will continue to be for the
51%l qualify al s" and % those Of dou5tc3 purity Of
blood. For that class of sheep there must
he an unlimited market, at very high
prices. High grades have. and do now,
bring fair prices, but the demand lor
pvre blood is becoming universal among
those who are willing to pay what tney
are worth, and the number Of them IN,
crease much faster than they can be bred
from now existing focks.

DEATH IN THE WALL.-A good clean
paper is certainly more pleasant to the eye
than a assured and smutty wall, whose
scales of lime are continually peetng OF
and sohng every garment that comes IN
contact with it. And if proper selection
of paper is made, and there be no other
lining of similar stuff beneath, it is not on
" more pleasant to the sense, but is al
most equal to the whitened wall. But
here is the difficulty, AS a general rule,
one coat of paper is put on over another,
as the last gets too much soiled to look
well, until several layers cover the original
surface, thus often producing an actual
cause of disease A few years since we oc-
cupied house built some twenty years be-
fore. in the old English style, strong and
solid. SO that it seemed almost as good as,
or better even, than new. We were
gravely told that one room in 1t had seemed
to be fatal to its occupants, hence tor
several wears it stood vacant. One OF the
| first things which received attention was
| this ill-reputed apartment. ltwas.a north
room. so situated that few slaRtlng rays
of sunlight peered into a corner of it for a
short time only portion Of the year, en-
tirely avoiding it for months together.
| Well. here surely was one cause OF Its
unhealthfulness, but not enough. After
the cobwebs were duly brushed out we
searched further A good-sized fireplace
and two large windows afforded entirely
sufficient chance for ventilation, so we
could not look there for the evil The
! walls next received attention. They were
covered with heavy velyety green paper,
but not only this, for upon peeling Oft {
small section with knife, another greer
LAYER was found beneath it, and beneath
this another, and yet another.
The mystery was solved. The cause o
the evil was evident. Nothing would hav
induced us to sleep in that apartment
None could tell how much of the element
Of disease that thickly papered wall hat
retained. None knew how much OF deaf
there was in the wall 1t seemed as If
| gave out positively sickeuing odor, now
and its entire removal speedily followed
!, Thereafter, though not so desirable as som
others. it ceased to have any hidden DANCE
. or terrors, lurking to poison the fountain
life. 1t is a safe rule to choose patterns
wall paper without green colors, especial
e those heavy greens which so please the ey
It for they contain an active poison, inlmci
d to life and it is always highly improper

4 Better submit to the dirt and annoyan'
d of having the last and soiled paper entire

re chances of disease and death, through

AFFECTING INCIDENT DURING SHER-
MANS GREAT RAID.-A letter from ma
ior on the staff Of popular general
gives the following narrowing incident
that occurred during Gen, Sherman's
great march through Georgia-in fact
the only painful circumstance connected
with the march. At Milledgeville the
residence of Gov. Brown was sacked,
and ten boxes of old Sherry, branded
1872, were found. The mouths of GER
tain staff officers had just begun to wa
ter, when Gen. Howard came up, and, as
certainiug the state of affairs, (the Gen
eral don't drink, ordered the bottles to
be broken. Rem6nstrance was useless,
and the eyes of the gallant officers,
whose mouths had begun to water,
filled with tears, as the choice liquor
ran into the sacred soil Of Georgia, anu
they declared cpon honor that it was
the most painful sight they had ever
witnessed, -L0ui8viKe Journal,

EXPERIENCES or A LECTURER IN GH,#
LAND.-Rev. J. s. c. Abbott, at the On
