sheep Hasbandry.

We are gratiied in being able to pre-
sent to our many sheep-brecding and
wool-growing readers a communication
from one of the most distinguished
sheep-breeders in this justly celebrated
sheep raising country. Other communi-
cations are promised from this gentle
man; and we take this occasion to
renew our invitation to Breeders, Farm
ers and Gardeners to use the columns of
the REGISTER in communicating their
thoughts and experiences to one an
other.
FALL MANAGEMENT OF SHEEP.
Editor of the Register:
have, as well as many ethers, been
vexed to sec the coldness on the part of
most of the "PreSS" of our country to-
ward the interest of wool growing and
Improvement of sheep. We arc glad to
see you come out from among that num-
Der and invite MS to talk to each other
through your paper.
The fall season is now far spent, yet
it may be useful to review and see
whether we have made the best Of it..
About the first of September the whole
flock should be sorted over. The poor
ones from every lot put by themselves
Oh good pasture and fed a little grain
every day. Commence feeding lambs
as soon as weaned; corn, oats and bran
equal parts mixed and given once or
twice q day is the best they can have.
1t is good for them TO have hay stacks
in their pasture and they will learn to
eat hay on cold, frosty mornings, thus
pre- pairing them for winter. Or what is
better, have them run into their sheds
at night and during hard storms,
having hay in their racks. Lambs
served in this way "go into winter quar-
ters" having acquired an appetite for
dry feed and being, in a great measure,
Injured to it. Then they seldom, if ever,
die with the "black scOurs" or paper
skin" or "dwindle away" by refusing to
eat, sc.
Breeding ewes should be gaining in
flesh and it is well to grain them light
ly during the Coupling season." If on
good pasture, say three gallons of corn to
the hundred head. Nearly all focks OF
sheep, if they only get The chance, will eat
little "roughness'-hay or fodder-the
latter part of November. The change
from fall to winter is gradual; in the
same manner animals ought to undergo
gradual change from green to dry
food, then their thrift is not checked.
In word, the whole flock ought to have
pasture and feed enough to put them in
good condition by the last of November
in our climate. We would urge this
besides many other reasons-as mat
ter of economy. Most certainly it is
easier to raise sheep to good condition
during the mild fall weather than it is
on dry feed without the aid of pasture
and the rigors of winter to contend
with. The old saying that "sheep well
summered are half wintered," is good
one. The philosophy being, that any
animal in good health and good flesh
has greater digestive power, has more
animal heat aud strength to withstand
the cold and is better enabled to be
continually throwing off the Impurities
of the system, therefore is far lest liable
to contract the poisonous elements of
disease. We may say something soon
of how to winter sheep.

Fniruess nud Consistency.

As an evidence of the fairness with
duct a discussion, we may cite state
ment from a recent number of the
Clarksburg Telegraph. 1t declares that
in the late canvass in Ohio, the Demo
cratic party "being led by PENDLEToN,
boldly proclaimed the doctrine of re-
pudiatlon.n We weuld like the Tele,
graph to give straightforward an
swer TO q single question. When Con-
gress made greenbacks, a legal tender
"for all debts, pa6lidand private, except
dsties on imports and interest on the
public debt" did it enact reputation
If so, then are the advocates of green
back redemptioH, repudiators. If not,
NOT.
The same paper alleges disagree
ment between the Democracy of differ
ent States on the bond question, claim
lug that in Ohio it is Democratic To pay
the bonds in paper, while in New York
it is Democratic to redeem them in gold.
We doubt if the recent elections show
any such results. The finances were as
much question in New York as in Ohio,
and the Democracy of both States voted
with marked, vigorous and successful
unanimity to endorse the generally
accepted Democratic theory of redemp-
ton. We should not have to
travel over as much space as
the Telegraph in order to find dis
sensions in Radical ranks. The 7ele-
graph denounces the payment of bonds
in greenbacks as "repudiation," and
declares that "the Republican Union
party" "cannot consent to any arrange
ment TO tax the Government bonds or
redeem them with currency" The Par
kersburg Times, on the other hand, an
orthodox Radical sheet, fearing the
strength of the Democratic position in
regard to the finances, declares that
"the bond question is by no means a
party issue" We think somebody else
is getting JANUs-faced.
The Telegraph, conjuring up these al
legged differences in the Democratic
ranks, is reminded &c of the Democracy
in 1874, when the slogan of that party
in South Carolina and the other Gull
States, was, POLK, DALLAS and Free
Trade while in Pennsylvania it was,
Polk, DALLAS, Texas and a Protective
Tariff"
To the best of our information the
firm of Polk, DALLAS & Co. did right
thriving business that year. We would
not be surprised if the Telegraph should
witness something else before twelve
month, that will recall the times o.
Al" Unless all signs fail, the analogy
between those days and '69 will b'
shockingly complete.

LEAVING THE OLD HOUSE.

There's sunshine on the meadows,
And sunshine on the road,
And through the brightness tolls my horse
Beneath q weary load;
And as stand beside my gate, with hand before
I see the children laugh to see the household
gods prize.
There was time when this old home
Was full of mirth and glee,
But one by one the household went
And let 1t all TO me
a quiet house Of vacant rooms, each made q
sacred place
By echo of a missing voice, or dream Of vanished
face.
All, how used to pause before
The mirror on the stair, n
And shake my long bright ringlets out,
And fancy was fair!
! took that quaint old mirror down, and packed
ii up last night,
And never stopped to trick my hair-for what
is left is white.
In later years used to sit
And watch the long green lane,
For one who came in those old times,
But cannot come again.
And somehow still at eventide my chair is
turned that way;
sit and work where once watched-I sat 80
yesterday.
Ny new house is a pleasant place,
But yet it grieves me now,
Its small completeness seems to say
Ny world is narrow now
lis far too small for any one with festivals to
keep,
But for my fsneral large enough, for few will
come to weep.
Goodbye, old house. a long goodbye;
My hand is on your gate;
Though tears are gathering in my eyes,
may not longer wait.
Goodbye, old house; and after all the love
which makes you dear
Awaits me in the heavenly home which I am
drawing near.

simple OF complex, in tho interest Of
which some illustrious "loyalist" may
not be found to stand for Senator VAN
WINKLE's place. Among the accom-
plished compound scouhdrels, whose
requirements include the whole range
of villainy from the lowest that base
man may contrive to the highest that q
poltrOon dare attempt, there is one for
whom we can name no rival in any of
the varied infamy that has attracted at
tention to his name. Indeed, we might
say, to compare small things with great,
that like Olympian JovE, he has not
even a second in rank AS in JUPITER's
case, all the inferior gods stood i'll a
lower than the second plane, so in the
sphere of West Virginia knavery, the
summit being occupied by a worthy
sovereign of on empire of rottenness,
the second station is vacant, probably
because no man can be found of suf-
ficient stomach to stand next to Cover
nor FOREMAN.
AS to "the probable result" to which
our friend refers, we can form no idea.
The whole matter will probably be de-
termined by those with whose counsels
We have little familiarity. If perois-
tent and Hnscrupulous prostitution of
his place and official powers to personal
ends can avail anything, FOREMAN
will be elected. His course in the matter
of registration in Barbour, Tucker,
Randolph, Hampshire and Hardy, shows
that if corruption and fraud can work
total exclusion, no Democratic member
of the Legislature shall take even partial
retribution by assisting in the Governors
defeat. We have some hope, however,
that in spite of his relentless and in
iquitous purposes, there will still be
left sufficient number of Democratic
members in the Legislature to make
respectable showing. In that event the
Governors chances will depend entirely
on the personal influence of the man
who shall oppose him. If he be of
sufficient weight to command decent
support in his own party, Mr.. FOREMAN
might as we'll try to be embalmed as to
be elected. He will waste his sweet
ness to no purpose.

The most stupendous tunnel enter
prise has lately been accomplished at
the silver mines in the German Hartz
Mountains. The mines were over 5000
feet deep, and the scarcity of fuel pre-
vented the use of steam for pumping,
which was done by water wheels, aided
by tunnel drains. But the great depth
reached in 1859 precluded further pro-
gress in that manner, and tunnel was
commenced for deep draining, which is
but now finished. 1t is twenty-five
miles long; two million cubic yards OF
solid rock were excavated, ten thous-
and pounds of powder used, and the
linear extent of blasting g-holes drilled
is $50 miles. Naturally, on the success
full completion of this colossal work,
the thirty thousand miners whose hve-
lihood is now assured for twenty years,
celebrated the event with grand rejoic-
ings. The mines cannot be worked I'M
til 1887 without steam, and they have
been operated since the year 926 in con-
ltinusl profitable production.

pIewing clay Land. in Autumn.

K. u. Leonard, writing from Wyom-
ing county, N. Y, to the Rural Ne'c
Yorker, says: ~ believe it pays every
farmer who works clay land to plow it
as much as possible in the fall, especial
" that which he means TO SOW in spring
grain. The plowing should be done
when the land is dry, and Fit turns up
in great Jumps so much the better.
Plow deep and leave the surface rough.
The frost and rain will pulverize and
tighten the soil, making it friable and
easily worked next spring. Deep plow-
ing on clay land is better than shallow,
for the reason that such lands are gen.
orally of rich, deep soil; the great
drawback on their producing largely
being the imperfect pulverization given
it. Only get the clay soil loose enough
to good depth and ysu are very sure
of good crop-that is if it keeps loose
while it is growing. Draining is very
necessary to secure this, as any one can
readily sees Our clay soils are the best
of all, if they are only rightly managed,
but it takes good deal of capital to
work them; they must be drained,
plowed deep, subsoiled, worked up loose
and fine, so the roots can get the food
they contain, and then they will prove
the most productive of any"

CLEAN GRASS SEED IMPORTANT.-A
writer in the Massachusetts, Ptoughndn
give his experience in the use of three
several parcels of grass seed purchased
at as many different stores. The seed
was supposed to be timothy and red
top; it came up with great uniformity,
grew finely, and promised well for a
time,-but soon after the commence
ment of June it was manifest that tim
othy and redtop had very little to do
with it. The predominant growth WSa
cheat or chess, and the next in order,
common meadow grass. This shows the
Importance of having clean seed when
stocking down land, as foul article not
only infests it with useless or inferior
herbage, but necessitates the breaking
up and restocking, involving both ex'
pense and loss of time. Great caution
should be exercised with reference to
seed, especially Of grasses, as foul sow.
ing is certain to result in plentiful
harvest of disappointment and vex'
alton. -

light, was regarded as failure; and it is to
be regretted, for the sake of Miss EVANS lite
rary fame, that she has thought proper to bring
it a second time before the public eye. The
story, while, perhaps, it exhibits less of the
turgid style and diction, which is the CHIEF
blemish of her later works, lacks altogether
the force and originality by which they are
undoubtedly marked, and which have given

Back sroun Rome.

GARrBALDIis "on to Rome" has ended as
every sensible man knew that it must end.
The ex-candlemaker made his flaming ap-
peals, called in his young men, promised the
spoils of the Eternal City" to his yelping
horde; and, fancying that victory perched on
his banners, marched gaily "on to Rome" A
brief succsss encouraged him, and turned his
empty head. The world was not large enough
to contain his vast desires; SO away he went
with a merry, merry shout, the ragged regi-
ments singing patriotic songs, until they OBJ
tanned their desire and met the Pspal army.
This army was not then expected. 1t had not
given GARIBAIDf notice of its approach; but
drove in his advance, harassed his TANKS, and
punched his rear, just when he least antiei-
pated such an opportunity of gaining rsputa-
tion, to which that of making gsoft soap and
candles would be vain delusion and snare.

The good people of the North are exceeding
fond of excitement. 1t is their daily food, the
breath of their nostrils, the variety that spices
the commonest occurrences Of the day. Ex.
citement must be had. The market is strong,

In the South, the professional sensation
monger is very rarely found. There is a GLASS
of men who always demand a fresh horror;
and who ind their Importance and power in
the strength Of their lungs, length of their
words, and the ferceness with which they
shout BEWARE OF BoaEY BEWARE OF BUG
ABoo!" But, even these men have some method
in their sound, and fury and deal with classes,
rather than with individuals. u.
At this time, the growing excitement in the
North is upon the subject of negro uprising,
and white down-falling. Newspaper CORES
pondents predict seas of blood, and hecatombs
Of victims; and their sensational yaticinations
6nd in the South an occasional, feeble echo.
The devil, however, is not as black as he is
painted; and, while he is far from being the
angel of light that those who live upon him
would have US to believe, thenegro is, still, far
less ferocious far less dangerous and unmsn-
ageable, than the sensation-brokers, North and
South, now allege him to be. For us, the negro
is no subject for fear or trepiaation. The re-
membrance of his fidelity during the war, and
his unexpected quiet, when provoked and fret
ted by puritanical ranters, is reason for believ.
ing that he will continue to be well-disposed
orderly, and tractable; and, believing, as we
do, in the innate superiority of the white
race, and the impossibility of ruling the
higher by the lower, we have no apprehension
of either 'war of race" or organized insur'
rection." There may be occasional violence
and trouble; hut, we believe that, upon the
whole, from the negro there is. naught to b'
feared worse than permanent laziness, and g
temporary indisposition to work as hard as be
might.
