aea-Dr. Randall says in late RI
raj NeW Yorker, that If the times do
not mend, farmers in the Northern
States must give up their fine wool
sheep. He believes better times are
coming for the wool industry, if the
wool tariff stands and is properly adj
minlstered but be insists that in any

flee good sheep. He also insists that
all sheep that are kept shall have a
fair chance and be fed and cared for
reasonably well.

The farmers in it's vicinity sensible
advice, thus:
"Oul farmers would do better to
raise more corn, oats, hay, stock,
poultry, butter, eggs, etc, which are
now bringing o fair price, aud less
wheat. Everything a farmer raises,
except wheat, is at the present time
in good demand. If you raise more
of variety, you will have better
success in farming. Remember this
next season.

The munificence of Congress has
been conspicuously manifested in
it's legislation for the soldiers and
sailors who suffered in the recent
struggle to maintain that unity of
government which makes one people.
The additions to the pension rolls Of
each successive year, since the con-
clusion of hostilities, result in a great
degree from repeated amendments
of the act Of the 18th of July, 1862,
which extended its provisions to
cases not falling within it's original
scope. The large outlay which is
thus occasloned is further increased
by the more liberal allowance be-
slowed since that date upon those
who in the line of duty were wholly
or permanently disabled For the
naval pension fund an appropriation
of $50, 900, 600 is needed.

The MISSISSIPPI ELECTION. WASH
INGToN, DECEMBER 3.-Judge Dent,
the defeated candidate for Governor
OF Mississippi, arrived here yester-
day, and this morning called upon
the President, his brother-in-law.
The Judge complains that but for

would have been elected by a large
majority. Dent says Ames, and the
troops under him, inundated the
white voters, and many Of them
were not allowed to go to the polls.

qualification at the election of the
Radical ticket.
