sheep breeders own ewes which cannot lie
bought for less than five hundred dollars

the face Of great decline in the wool mar
kets. The New York and Boston markets
now rule the prices Of wool at ffty-fye cents
for the best, fifty for fine, and forty for
common grades. The usual deduction OF
one,third does not quite cover the waste in

ed from seventy cents to one dollar per
pound. The reduction in prices Of all ce-

Of Monday, but too late to organize Court
that day. Next morning, however, the
largest attendance we ever remember seeing
at the opening Of Court, was preseut, and
listened with the greatest attention whilst
his Honor charged the grand jury The
charge was able, clear, and practicable, aud
received profound attention andrcspect from
the members of the bar who were largely in
attendance upon the occasion. Besides our
own Bar, J. A. BENTLEY, of Sheboygan,
and J.. WYMAN, Of Milwaukee, were
present.
The term Of Court will probably continue
during the entire week, and We will proba-
oly give report Of it, proceedings in our

DEATH OF CARLoTTA-Thc world viii
receive with regret the intelligence of the
death Of Carlotta, the wife Of Maximilian,
at her residence at Mramar, on the Airi-
attic, On Friday night the 18th inst The
intelligence comes to New York by pri-
yate cable dispatch. 1t IS credited on ac-
count OF her failing health. Since she has
been stricken with insanity, the sends of
her life have been fading away, probably by
what is termed softcning Of the brain. =
Carlotta was the daughter of the late Leo
pold, King Of Belgium, the uncle of Queen
Victoria. Her mother was the daughter Of
King Louis Philippe Of France She was
about seven and twenty years of age at the
time Of her dccease, ana had been married
to MaximiIian, Arch Duke Of Austria, and
now so-callsd Emperor Of Mexico about
seven years.
