WASHING SHEEP IS. p. Boardman,
of Illinois, says the best way to wash
sheep is TO let them do it themselves.
He selects a place where they have to
swim two rods and wade two more to
get out, with platform about two
feet high on the deepest side of the
stream, from which he plunges the
first two or three sheep. after which
all the rest dive in. lie repeats this
operation three times, letting the flock
rest in the sun about two hours be-
tween each swim. The result is per-
fectly washed feeces without hand
ling.

The LAST OF A GLoRoUs BAND.-A
telegram was received Tuesday in
Congress announcing the death, at
Edinburg, Saratoga County, y. Y,
Of Samuel Downing, the last surviv-
ing soldier who was actually under
arms in the war OF the Revolution.
Mr.. Downing's age has been stated
at from 100 to lO6, but We are not
able to determine the precise figure.
He enlisted in New-Hampshire, near
the close Of the war and after peace
found his way To NeW-York, in which
State he lived for more than half a
century. There have beeo = dozen OF
more ol "Iast Of the p:nsioners,' - but
We presume that tire decease Of this
wcll-kn0wn citizen closes the list,
and that there is not now d man liv-
Ing vino actually bore arms in our
great struggle fr liberty. Sixty
seven years have gone by since
Washington died, and he was almost
the first mot slain in battle) to lead
the long array Of patriots whose
glorious line is finished by the de-
parture of Samuel Downing.

COMPARATIvE DECENTRALIZATION.

The decentralization of the South is a
fayorite hobby with certain Northern
Journals, but they do not seem to look
at home A correspondent Of the Gin
ciunau Gazette, writing from the capital
of Indiana. on the 9Th inst furnishes the
following item
During the year 1866 there were two
hundred and twenty-three applications tOr
divorce I'm .his county, Of which one hun
bred and eleven were granted, twenty-six
dismissed, and eighty-siN are now pending
One hundred and fortv-two petitions were
from females and eighty-one from males
The proportion of divorces granted TO mar
riage licenses issued are one to eight ~
Here is shown q decentralization which
can find mo- counterpart in the South
Take for instance. the county davidson
in which the capital Of Tennessee is
located, aud we find that only ffty-three
applications for divorce were filed, two of
which were granted and four dismissed
This is % large number of applications for
this section It must De confessed hut it
is relatively greatly below that of the
capital of Indiana and the proportion
will probably hold good as toather North
ern and Southern localities

ent furnishes another proof of the greater
decentralization ,T the North In his
