MEssRs EDIToRs. Probably many of
your readers do not know that what is
called Tin the trade) fine wool. is so called
on account of its felting property, al
though not visible to the naked eye, yet,
when looked at through a magnifying
glass, each Gbre will be seen to be thickly
set with fine sharp teeth like a sickle. 1t
is of necessity that each fibre is incased
in kind ofgum. composed of animal oil
and alkalye, the constituents of soap
This gum or yak protects those fine sharp
teeth from becoming blunted or worn off
by the abrasion of the wool on the Sleeps
back, which would destroy its fulling
qualities and render it useless for the
manufacture of fine fabrics for clothing.
The different families of the Spanish Me-
rinos produce this wool. And as clothing
wool it is unrivaled. The American
Spanish Merinos are superior to any Of
the rest. Mr.. George Campbell of VT,
took II to Hamburg in Germany, in 1868
to the International Exhibition there,
and received 3 first prizes and sold them
for 5000 dollars. Some of them have
yielded heeces weighing as much as 80
lbs. i am breeding from a Luck that
sheared 2G lb, one years growth. The
wool known as medium or grade wool, is
produced by crop between the Spanish
and native sheep. 1t would be a very
poor flock Of grade sheep that would not
yield 3 Id per head annually. A flock
well bred and cared for, will do more
The best among my neighbors at 5 years
old. yield s 10 OH very poor farm, with
out any feed the whole year. They are
the fattest sheep ever saw, looking like
a rolling mass of fat. The best wethers
weigh alive about $50 lbs, are excellent
mutton. the only objection TO them as a
mutton sheep, is, that they are longer
But that cannot be "a serious
one since we are so far from mutton
market, and wool bears shipment so much
better Mutton is only secondary con-
any how, since the Z. S. cx-
ports meat largely, and Imports wool, but
more of this anon. The average price of
grade or medium wool (Which is used for
ordinary ..clothing) for 35 years previous
to the war, was AZ cents in the principal
cities in the U. S. 1t is much higher
now and still advancing, and is likely to
do SO for long time to come. Farmers,
this snbject presents you with coDsidera-
tions you dare not slight, if you do, you
are gone. IT'S your only hope.

A Neble SDirit Gene.

Yesterday morning body found float
ing in the East River, off Atlantic street.
was identified as that of Theodore Bland
Pryor, who has been missing since Sunday,
the 18th. A Sun reporter called later in
the day at the residence of Majo General
Roger A. Pryor, father OF the deceased
youth, at 157 Willow street, Brooklyn.
Gen. Pryor said that on the morning of
the 18th young Pryor, who had been study
ing very closely. complained of feeling un-
well. He was found to have high fever
accompanied with ague. The young man,
however, clung to his books, and when at
last he was persuaded to abandon them
be put on his hat, and left the house to
take stroll, so he said, and cool off. He
was never seen again until yesterday.
Young Pryor who was about, twenty years
of age, possessed of brilliant attainments
and high moral culture. He entered
Princeton College in 1868. and in 1870
graduated with such bonors as had never
been attained in that institution but by
Aaron Burr, nearly century ago. His
grade was 99.9, and the examining pro-
fessor declared that the examination which
he had passed almost challenged belief.
He gained the Jay Cooke Mathematical
Fellowship, that alone being open to him.
In September, 1870, he went to the Uni
versity of Cambridge. England, and in a
single year won every prize and the only
scholarship which wasopen to him. Young
Pryor studied hard after his return from
England. tits thought that histoo zealo:s
application to books impaired his reason,
AVID that in fit of alteration he drowned
himself. A confusion was discovered on
the body under the left eye.-N. Y. Sun
