county : Fair.

E
The Ashtabuls County Wool Grow
ers' Association, held their Second
Annual Public Sheep Shearing Fair in
Jefferson, June 4th, 1867.
The cold, backward spring weather,
and the gloomy prospect for farmers
ever being able to get in their spring
crops, made it a foregoing conclusion,
that not q very large attendance could
possibly be expected.
The weather on that day, was exceed
ingly fine, and some splendid Merino
sheep were exhibited and shorn, which
done honor to our county, and it is to
be hoped viii learn alesson of improve
men IN stock, to those that are yet SO
dull, as to iced and shear the old fRsh-
Toned bare bellied, bare-legged and
bare-faced sheep. While there is a
terrible shrinkage in the heeces when
7~cleansed of their .IYermeat teuch."1
There still remains this very important
fact; that they have of cleansed wool
some 80 or 100 per cent. more than
the common sheep, and the wool Is
worth, when cleansed, some 80 to 50
per cent. more, and when ciphered
down to dollars and cents, q man must
keep from $50 to 200 common sheep,
to get the same amount of cleansed
wool that he could from 100 Merinc
sheep. In addition to this he would
have to keep as many as so more to
get the same money for his wool. Now
it is q pretty wellsettled fact thatsheep
in proportion to their weight; and the
old stock of sheep weigh Is per cent.
upwards, more than the Merino sheep,
hence it amounts to the keeping of at
least so more sheep, to make the same
equal to the fine wool. And when all
is summed up, it Will take owe $50 OF
the old style sheep, to put the same
wool, that 100 of the fine wool will do.
And your care of the extra number,
cannot be made up in mutton, because
the same difference viii show itseli
again, if that is your aim. The same
number of pounds of mutton can be
made with the same feed, as easy IL
fine as in coarse wool sheep, and as il
is necessary to keep them by, two OF
three clips before they can be used fol
mutton, you can just as well have thres
times as much money for wool. IS Il
be fooling your time away with then
old "pelters," on the same amount o
feed.
1t is to be regretted that with a
fine hocks of Leicester, Cottswold ane
South Down sheep as VIZ have in thu
vicinity, that they cannot be induces
to come out and show their hands
and let the public knew the true mer
it of their Work.-AsbtabuIa Sentinel

Gen. opinion.

Attorney General Stanbery's opinion
in regard to the duties of military com
manders, have been published. The
Attorney General holds that the recon
s~truction acts provide for two govern
ments, civil and military, both provis-
toned TO be obeyed by the people, and
continued until superseded by the re-
organization of the several States gov
ernments. Under the provisions of
the law the military commanders are
TO act as ~conservators Of the peace; to
suppress disorder and protect all IN
their rights Of persons and property
They have no power TO remove State
officers, executive or judicial, and their
rights in N with those of all 9TH
er persons are to be respected. Not
being authorized to remove, they, as a
consequence, have nc authority TO ap-
point a successor. In brief, they are
not acting IN the capacity of abrogators
Of the law, but as conseryators of the
peace. The opinion itself, however
viii be judged as to the correctness OF
these reports.

Not Afraid,

a naval officer being at sea in a dread
full storm, his wife was sitting in the cab
in with him, and filed with alarm for the
safety of the vessel, was SO surprised al
his serenity and composure that she cried
out:
"My dear, are you not afraid? How
is it possible you can be so calmin such 3
dreadful storm 9"
He rose from his chair, dashed it to the
deck, drew his sword, and pointing it al
the breast of his wife, exclaimed
"Are you afraldi"
She immediately answered:
"No."
"Whyf" said the officer.
because" rejOined the wife, al know
this sword is in the hands of my husband
and he loves me too well 70 hurt me-"
"Then," said he, "I know in whom
believe, and that he who holds the winds
in his fists and the waters in the hollow Of
his hands is my father"

TO record the honorable testimony
borne by several Of ais associate mem
bsrs, to his distinguished services, to
his ability and character. Hon. Thad-
deus Stevens says: "Mr. Hutchins
occupied q very high position, both for
talents and integrity, and was esteem
ed . very useful member in Congress"
Hon. VIM. Window says Ibis standing
was very good, but few if any stood
higher" Hon. James n. Ashley. Hon.
II. L. Dawes, Hon. George W. Julian,
son-in-laW of the late Hon. j. r. Gid
dings and other gentlemen, all speak
in the same general terms of cordial
commendation. No gentleman ap-
pears TO have been more warmly es-
teemed and heartily confded in, than
was Mr.. Hutehins, by the associate
members of his own party In Congress.
s All inculpstion therefore being with
drawn, we wish to leave Mr.. 81. as far
as we are concerned, to stand upon
his merits as a citizen, and to enjoy the
reputation he has built up for himself
Is if the words alluded to had never
been written.
All aus and motive for personal
difference being now removed, the Be-
nior editor may indulge in that reTiVi-
fed glow of personal regard and SYM
patty which existed between him and
Mr.. Hutchins q quarter of q century
ago, when, together, they bsttlei in 9
prescribed minority, for the great rights
of man, which have at last achieved so
magnificent a triumph. In all these
years of trial and of struggle, Mr..
Hutchins has beentrue, consistent and
faithful, as he was in the early days of
the conflict between right and wrong,
between freedom snd oppression, when
with pen and tongue he zealously, and
ably advocated the cause of the poor
and oppressed. Long will he with
ether pioneers in the sacred cause of
human freedom, be remembered and
revered. For US, the greatest cause
for REORGANIZATION in our earthly ca
reer is the remembrance of our early,
and at last successful struggles, with
him and other faithful and true men,
in the great cause of human brother
hood, and mans true elevation, and
Contamination irrespective Of race or
color.
In heats, and excitements, and mis-
apprehensions, very friends, aiming at
common objects. are sometimes un-
happily estrsnged, but for US, all that
Is unpleasant in the past is forgotten,
and in regard to him who is the topic
of this frank and voluntary exposition,
we cherish nc feelings but of kindness
and no remembrance but of our an
Gent friendship, and our common
struggles and sacrifices, in days of COM
parstiye difficulty and gloom.

KK. EDIToR If you think the fol-
loving soliloquy would be of any pub
lio utility, please publish it.
/ will Just remark it is from the lips
of one who has felt keenly the effects
of the negligence whereof he COM
plains. A.
Eyes, 1 have often, at the earnest So
l~icitation of my mother, and from my
own convictions of duty to her, TO my
self, and 20 society, resolved to quit in
~toxicating drinks, and extricate my
self from the meshes of the snare of
the destroyer of more homes, more
happiness, more men, than all other
causes or curses combined. Strange as
it is, and true as ii is strange, that, with
my mind apparently vigorous, l have
not power enough alone to battle with
my W appetite, successfully. Those
few friends l wish there were more of
them,) who try to encourage me in
well-doing, add greatly TO my strength,
and | really think, ct times, that l am
almost safe, and can, without danger,
walk alone. But, slAsl for an inebri-
ate's resolution. How easily, and over
what a small obstacle we sometimes
stumble.
How many times q kind and friendly
word of warning would strengthen US
and give power to nj resistance. But
the world seems reconciled to our fate,
and no helping hand is offered when
we begin to slip. And if we 60 from
the world to the Church,-which is not
often-the minister usually deals in
gen~eralities, and seldom, or never,
singles out the great sin of sins, drunk
srd-msking, but frequently hurls his
anathemas like an enraged deity at tri-
vial deViations from faith or creed
And even in his prayers, whilst almost
all other crimes and their causes are
remembered, how rarely do we hear
him pray for the conversion of the
drunkard maker, OF the drying up OF
the fountains OF intemperance, and the
substitution of a current of good, for
that mighty torrent of evil. How
rarely does he ask Gods assistance to
rid society of this terrible leprosy,
whose loathsome presence. spreads a
gloom yer so many families of our
friends, ever to such an extent that
scarcely n family can be said TO be
free from the curse.
How much good might result if the
pastor would sometimes ask God to
strengthen the resolutions of the re-
pentant inebriate, to give him courage
and power to break the manacles that
cucumber his limbs, to strengthen him
in the hour of temptation, and to turn
him away from the sin that doth SO
easily beset him. OH what S theme
for prayerl What q glorious result to
be accomplished What q weight
might be raised from bowed down
hearts. What a harvest, yet how few
the laborers. What a responsibility
and what negligence.
Can clergy OF laymen, believers or
u~nbelievers, justify themselves in quiz
city, half-approvingly, folding their
hands and looking carelessly at the
fs9ages Of drunkennessf
If the teachers and leaders have not
the courage, or lack the disposition, let
the other friends of humanity,
strengthen the hands Of those who are
50 vigorously plying the heavy blows
of legal suasion to the house the mon
ster lives in.0

- DiOOQ
Full bod
the Boston Bulletin, in speaking of
the new clip, says: There is very lit
tie speculation and no anxiety on the
part of buyers. 1t will not be wanted,
and hence will not be bought up in a
hurry. Manufacturers are not in a
condition, financially or commercially,
to enter the field as purchasers; and
spectators have the recollection of
past losses too wildly impressed upon
their minds to repeat the errors of the
last wool season. From present APP
pearances there will be very little COM
petition among country buyers, at
least during the early stages of the
season, and the market must evident
ly open at low rates in order to attract
customers-probably at range of 400
SOC z 10, or an average of 20 per cent.
below last years prices. There is no
movement as yet to indicate the feel
ing among growers. though a few strag-
Cling lots of new Ohio wool have been
consigned to the Eastern markets on
growers account.
Very choice lots of fine fleece wool
are scarce and tolerably quick of sale
at full rates. Medium and three-quar-
ter blood heeces are plenty and dull.
WOO CIRCULAR.
John NJ. Peudleton in his circular,
dated New York, June 18th, 1867,
says that the wool market during the
past six weeks, has been without ami
nation, with the tendency in favor of
the buyer. The chronic inactivity
that usually precedes the opening of
the new clip has added to the gen
eral indisposition of manufacturers to
anticipate their wants, and, except for
desirable parcels, Observation-Disclosures
ing the very light stock on hand-have
been difficult TO effect, except at a con-
cession in price. Accounts from the
I West indicate that shearing has fairly
commenced, and the entire clip will
soon be ready for market. Manufac-
turers are not in g position to repeat
their errors of last year in sending q
swarm of buyers into the country, and
the bulk of this years wool will have
to be marketed at the East. There is
little doubt that the clip will be large
and considerably in excess of that oil
last year, while the demand is not
nor is it likely to depressing, at least
for some time to come.
No material advance can be expect
ed beyond present figures, while the
general tendency of prices of all COM
modities is downward. AdViees from
all parts of the country give promise OF
an abundant crop of cereals, and from
the South we are assured of a fair crop
of cotton. Should these promises be
realized, the feeling of uncertainty
which now perTades the commercial
interests ofthe country would be dis.
PEELED, and a confidence in the future
relieve the existing depression in trade.
Considerable speculation exists as to
the price at which the new clip will be
marketed, and by many the figure ia
placed at 40(950c. It is a noticeable
fact that there is no competition among
buyers, and in seasons when all signs
fail. We can only wait the course Of
events without hazsrding an opinion IS
to the future. l quote:
