THE BEST BREED OF SHEEP.

In answer to the query, which was
the most profitable breed, speaker
said that considering the varied condi-
tious presented 10 our climatolcgy, bot
any aud agriculture, no other breed
possessed so many Of the requisite con-
ditions as the American Merinos, it be-
ing peculiarly fitted to occupy a very
wide range of the desired points in any
breed, and coming nearer to universal
adaptability than any other. The Sax.
on sheep may have fine fibre, and
even the Silesian aud tho French a
larger franz and greater length of wool,
but for compaotuess of form, sound
constitution, strength OF fibre, and
quantity Of wool suited to variety Of
uses, our improved Merino is unap-
proaehable. In some parts, where
meats are high. the English breeds are
more profitable and popular. The
Cotswolds appear to be preferred by
some for their mutton. producing quail
ties. The Southdowns are preferred
BY three fourths of the breeders for
their early production Of lambs. The
Leicesters are too highly bred. The
Lincoln, as modified by the breeding Of
the last year, is a magnificent animal,
producing a lustrous combing wool
ofgreat length. 1t is greatly to be
dssired that the efforts Of honest and
reliable breeders Of really fiue animals
should receive encouragement -En-

Winter Wisdom.

Warm clothing alone will not protect the
body against the consequences of the sud-
den depression Of temperature which Is con-
comitant of early winter. Flannel next the
skin preserves the animal heat, but 1t does
not impart animal vigor. That property Is
the special prerogative of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which Is therefore specific
protection against majority Of the COM
plants which are most common at this
season. For example, a course Of the great
vegetable invigorant, commenced now,
will be almost sure to preclude chills and
fever, bilious collie, disorders Of the stomach,
constipation, and many other complaints
which are often the direct or indirect effect
of an atmosphere surcharged with cold, I'M
wholesome vapor. Moreover, the system
toned and regulated by this means Is much
more likely to resist pulmonary disease
than 1t would otherwise be; for the infiu-
ence of searching medicine pervades all the
organs, and every fiber and tissue OF the
frame. Persons whose vital powers are
weak, especially invalid ladies and the
aged, are earnestly recommended not to
face the winters rigor without having re-
course to this safe and sufficient means OF
reinforcing enfeebled nature. Much suf-
fering may be escaped, much danger avert
ed by following this council. BETTER late
than never, is n good proverb, but it Is bet
ter to be early than late.

this city, it being understood that they
could obtain at those points that free
dom from taxation which they desire.
We believe that the property OF the
road is exempted from taxation by the
State of Maryland, and that in the city
of Cumberland the road pays neither
city nor county tax. In fact. this con-
sideration induced the location of the
company's rolling mill at Cumberland
rather than in Wheeling, where some
advantages could have been obtained
that are not available in the former
city.
The question to our people in the COM
pany's proposition is therefore simply
this: Shall we release the property OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad COM
pany from past and future taxation and
secure the permaneuce and enlarge
ment of the shops; or shall we insist
upon the payment of the accrued and
prospective taxes and thus drive from
the city the greater portion OF the rail-
road works already here. II is a ques-
ton as to whether, for the sake Of a
golden egg in the share Of back taxes,
we shall kill the goose which promises
to lay regularly for us in the
future an egg more than three times
as large as has resulted from her daily
efforts in the past. In deciding to &C
cept the company's proposition and, on
behalf Of Ohio county, agreeing to re-
lease the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
from taxation by virtue Of the consid-
Grafton named, we believe that the
Board of Supervisors has acted wisely
and that their act will meet with popu.
lar approval. The same question will
be presented before the city Councils
and we can scarcely think they will
hesitate to concur as to the city in what
the Supervisors have agreed as to county
taxation.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1871-12-06

the proceeding, even although the conanass.
sions should seem to be unnecessarily large
I also recommend that authority be
given for payment of interest in Lon
don. This can be done without the
least cost or risk to the Government"
In regard to the disastrous falling of
in our merchant marine he shows that
"the returns for the fiscal year 1870
II, show that the ocean commerce Of
the United States is passing rapidly into
the hands of foreign merchants and
ship builders. In the year 1860, nearly
II per cent of the foreign commerce Of
this country was in American ships.
In 1864, it had fallen to 46 per cent; in
1868, to A per cent, and in 1871 is
reported at less than 80 per cent y
"The history Of the loss of our COM
merce rem lers it certain that without
the entire foreign trade Of the country,
it would soon pass into the hands Of
our rivals"
He adds: AFTER a careful considera-
ton of the whole subject, am prepared
to advise the passage Of law guarau-
teeipg to persons who may employ in
the foreign trade American bnilt first
class steamships of not less than two
thousand tons burden each an annual
payment for the period of FIVE years OF
the sum OF thirteen dollars per ton.
This subsidy should be proportionately
less to vessels of lower classification"
He thus pertinently concludes: IF
it should appear, as claimed, that Amer
lean iron is about ten per cent. better
than the iron used in England, an ad-
vantage will be secured, not only in the
diminished cost of the vessels, but also
in the increased tonnage capacity OF
American ships OF equal dimensions
over those constructed with inferior
materials. Accepting as a truth, estab-
lished by experience, that the ocean
commerce of the world is to be carried
in iron steamships, we must consider
and decide whether the United States
will disappear from the list of maratime
nations, or whether by a determined
and practicable effort we shall regain
tie position which we occupied prior 10
the late rebellion"
