From, the bleak mountains OF the
North / started a short timeago TO visit
your city-the home of my childhood.
With raped delight ranged the
streets where SO often my childish feet
had roved. AS entered the city and
traced my steps down Main street, II
was with no other expectation than
that: of seeing on every side signs OF
decay; but great was my surprise in
attempting TO recognize the old tamtl-
lar business houses, to seeit the dilapida-
ted razed and on their site buildings Of
such elegance as any city Of greater
size might proudly boast Thus I see
that Wheeling is in the rapid march OF
progress, advancing with the moving
world. Bot whilst I would cobgratu-
late, her citizens upon the efforts they
are making TO approach In Improve
ments other cities, i must express to
them my great surprise and disappoInE=
ment In finding the private idences
unnumbered. I attempted to hunt
some old friends, but moi, being familiar
with the streets, failed In the attempt,
simply because the houses were
not mum bered. And upon leaving here
and Being enquired OF by. strangers the
number ofthe residence Of certain per-
sons, was subjected to the morti-
fication of telling them they lived on
such a street SO many, doors above such
another street; and deeper still was my
pride wounded to hear them express
surprise and contempt Tor this mode OF
finding persons ia L place making such
pretensionsi to aclty. Nor Is this the
I only incouyenience arising from this
neglect, for citizens have told me ot
their frequent losses by purchased ar
ticles being carried and fefSlwith other
tfamiles of the same names.
Surely II can be nothing but neglect
on the mart OF this enteFpFfstng people,
And now I sincerely hope tEat whilst
lsyour are exerting your energy, strain
Hing every nerve to Improve your city,
i thak YOU will, not fall behind Other

tiop of the Board of Overseers of the
Poor, with regard to the purchase of q
Poor House site, Mr.. David Armstrong

On motion, a Committee of four was
appointed to draiG resolutions Of the
sense ofthe meeting. Mr.. r. L. Hop
kins, DR.. ]. H.Storer, Allen Davis aud
D. S. Thornburg were appointed said
Committee.
The Committee reported the follow
ing preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, The State and. county
taxes of Ohio county are already OPP
pressive, to an extent that they can
scarcely be borne by its citizens, any
contemplated increase OF the county
Indebtedness should be closely scrnti-
niZed, and, If possible, avoided; and
WHEREAS, We have heard that 1t Is
proposed by the Overseers of the Poor
to purchase the farm of A. NJ. Jacob, at
a cost of oftwenty-eight thousand dollars,
and TO expend about ten thousand
additional, for the purpose of rem
dering it suitable for county Poor
Farm; therefore, be It
b ReS0lVed, By the people of Triadel-
phia township, In meeting assembled:
l. That the proposed outlay for the
purchase of the aforesaid farm, Is ex-
orbitant, being at least 5000 more
than 1t could be sold for at private
sale.
2. That If the aforesaid farm could be
purchased at its market value, that the
outlay would be wholly inexpedient,
in the present embarrassed financial
condition of the county.
3. That we regard the idea as chimer-
ical of making a poor farm of l60acres,
one sixth of which is not tillable, cost
ing S40,O 600 dollars, a self-sustaining in
stitution in Ohio county.
4. That prior to making purchase of
farm for the use of the poor; that the
matter should be open by advertise
ment for public competition, and not
pushed through in an apparently clan
destine manner.
S. That the overseer of the poor in
Triadelphia township, be requested to
use all honorable means to prevent the
Board of Overseers from making the
aforesaid purchase, and our Supervisor
be requested to vote against any ap-
preparation for such purposes.
6. That the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in the county papers.

THE SAXON MERINoEs. The sAeeO oil
SaxOny were originally OF very little
value, and their wool was OF an inferior
quality. The elector of Saxony being
determined to improve the breed OF
sheep in his country, imported in 1865
ono hundred rams and two hundred
ewes of the most improved Spanish
fiockS. He kept one part Of this i'm
portation on one Of his farms near
Dresden. This portion was kept dis
tinct and unmixed. The other be dis.
tributed throughout Saxony to improve
the native breeds. 1t was soon evident
that the Merinos did not degenerate In
Saxony. The wool of the unmixed
breed was equal to that of the best
Spanish focks, and the native breeds
were greatly improved by crossing with
the Merinos. The pure MerinOs in-
creased rapidly in Saxopy, and in q few
years their fieeCes not only eQualled the
best Spanish wool, but actually excel.
IGd 1t in tineness and value.
The government OF saxony contribu
ted to the progress OF improvement by
establishing an agricultural school, and
also several training schools for shep-
herds and by distributing cheap publ.
cations IN which the improved system
oil management was described and adj.
yocsted. In Saxony the sheep arc
housed In winter, but they are driven
out occasionally and compelled to seek
sustenanCe sometimes, perhaps, by
scrapiDg away the snow from the pas
lures ana wheat fields. The season
must be very Indictment when thew are
not driven out for two or three hours
each day. The doors and windows of
the houses are frequently thrown open,
ana ventilation promoted in every pos.
sloie way. Some Of the flock masters
keep their sheep in the houses, or sheds,
during the whole year aud it does not
appear th&t the condition of the sheep is
damaged by this practice. The quality
Of the wool is said to be improved by it,
A regular supply Of salt is given to the
sheep especially in winter.
The Saxon Merinos were introduced
into the United States III 1924 and sub
seouent years. Their wool is much finer
than the Spanish, but their deeces aud
Carc&ses are lighter. The wool has not
as much yolk, is white, and from one
aud half to two inches long on the
back and sides, and shorter in proper
ton in other places. From 1924 to 1910
the SaxOus were highly esteemed and
much sought for by wool growers, but
a reaction in favor of the Spanish Mer-
mos took place during the latter year,
aud the tariff Of 1846, which established
an I'D vaIorem duty on wool, drove the
Saxons out of the field.
