To the Wool Growers orObio

An address to the Wool Growers
Of Ohio, signed by the Executive
Committee of the Wool Buyers and
Dealers Association, has been issued
in connection with the minutes of
the late Convention of the Associa.
tion, at Carrots Hall, Cleveland.
We quote as follows:
ave do not war against, nor do
we place ourselves in an antagonism
to the wool growers of the State /;
but, on the contrary, our aim and
purpose is to work in harmony and
cooperation with the enterprising
and honorable wool growers, in
raising the standing of Ohio wool.
mo one will attempt to justify
or in the slightest degree palllate the
gross frauds which are yearly com
mit,ed in tying up, inside the fleece,
loaded and unwashed locks, manure
and other worthless substances, and
those who are guilty OF such decep
tive and criminal practices, should
be hunted up and visited with th,
extreme penalties of the law
"But there Is another class o
growers, (those who offer heavy ant
half washed WOOL, whom we do no
regard in so unfavorable a light
and although VIC utterly disapprov,
of the manner in which their wool il
prepared for market, and have re
solved not to buy the same withou
satisfactory deductions, yet we hold
as equally culpable, those local buy
ers in the State, who have been il
the habit of receiving such WOO
without making a proper discount
thereby encoura ging the prepara
tion of heavy, half. washed wool, t,
the great detriment and discourage
ment of those who put up their WOO
in good condition.
"Our Association has resolved Il
withhold patronage from all sucl
buyers, and will advise others to d,
the same; and we are urged to sus
tain in this position by many of tn
most prominent Eastern manufac
turers, and shall, unquestionably
have the unanimous approval anC
Endorsement OF all manufacturers an'
dealers in the United State.
ave would urge upon growers
the importance of paying particula
attention to raising long -stapled
combing wool, the consumation o
which is rapidly increasing in thi
country, and at the same time woult
advise them not to neglect the i'm
provement oil their fine wool hocks
as extreme fine clothing wool will
also be greatly in demand"

The portrait OF Andrew Jackson ls a
wonderful counterfeit presentment OF
that distinguished man. The mas.

the portrait OF our loved Kentucky
statesman, Henry Clay, will be treas

OF bis eyes were undimed, but tn,
general contour had been mellowet
