Wool.

The wool season " is now upon US, but
hardly opened, and prices are not yet fully
settled. The Plymouth (o.) Advertiser Of
the 18th says. :" A good many small lots
are coming in, and the prices are raging from
35 to 42c., as per quality" ID
The weather has been so cool thus far, that
but few of our wool growers have as yet
done their shearing. A few clips, only, have
been brought In, and the wool market can
scarcely be said to have opened, prices
ranging at about 40 cents.-Akron Beacon.

furnished us by Mr.. D. H. ALrAFFER, of

coarse paper that may once have been white
but is now faded and rotten. The copy in
the hands of the Californian mentioned in
the above extract is probably similar to the
one in our possession. The history of this
one, as related to us by Mr.. ALrAFFER, is as
follows: One of the ancestors of Mrs. Al
TAFFER, a hundred years ago or more, was
an unwilling student or priest in monastery
at Genoa, Italy, where was also a reluctant
nun. These two, formed an attachment for
each other, escaped from Genoa to England,
and were married, carrying with them the
only copy of +" a letter said to have been
written by our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ" which had been sacredly preserved
in the monastery. Religious superstition
invested it with miraculous powers, and it
was preserved as "charm." 1t emigrated
to America with the family, and is probably
the only copy in the United States besides
the one in California. The document is as

As no call hae yet been made by the District
Central Committee, we would suggest Tues
day, the 30th of June as most suitable
time for holding the convention to put in
nomination a candidate for Congressman for
the 9th District. What say our brothers of
the press9-7Efsn Tribune
We think time ought now to be
set without delay. We suggest however
that the 30th is too soon. It will take time
for the Congressional Committee to name a
day. Then the county committees will
have to call convention which should have
at least two weeks notice in the county pa
pers, and then few days must elapse be-
tween the meeting of the County Conveh-
tions and tie meeting of the District nomin-
atiDg Convention. r. 81
We are of opinion therefore that the
Congressional Committee should act at once,
and appoint the time for The Convention at
least three weeks after the day on which
they themselves act 0ra,ctord Co. Journal.

subject, SO they might as well come down

SOMETHING should be done to enlighten

as cooks, chambermaids, walters, and in

more foolish and anti-republican error than
this, Woman" is the fuller, freer. nobler
title. The class distinction supposed to be
indicated by the term Lady" has, in this
country, no other Specification than one Of
courtesy, and is wholly dependent upon the
personal conduct and character of the indi-
vidusl. A servant may, in this sense, be a
lady; just az her mistress may, in the same

They have. at the expense of the people
of course, been to Richmond to try Jeffer-
son Davis for treason. We suppose we
are not presuming too much upon the
good memory of the people when We say
that they remember that this Mr. Davis
was arrested and lodged in prison about
two years and halt since, and that about
every two weeks from that time until last
spring he was just about to be tried, and
when at last brought to Richmond he was
hailed by Horace Greeley and other. who
became responsible for his appearance at
Richmond for trial when wanted. But
Davis is a white elephant" in the repub-
lican menagerie, AID although he asks for
trial, the government is not ready, or
Justice Chase is not ready, and so the
trial is again put off until the 23d of
March next. Why all this dil!y -dallying

people? Nobody except some verdant
specimen of the squash kind has the least
