FILrHNEss.- is said by eminent scientific men that "the decomposition of single potato or w1lted turnip will breed disease If the vapors of the decay ing substance are confined to the walls of house." The same is said ot decay ing substances in alleys, streets and yards. The v,>pors arising from manure and rubbish piles will 50 impregnate the att mosphere as to make it unhealthy. and thereby spread diseases and death. This IS the cause of so many diseases breaking out that baffle the skill of physicians. FAlthiness causes destruction wherever 1t exists. @' --

THE Woo1 CL1P OF THE WEsT.-The Fissdaacidl Chronicle in a summary of the prospects of the wool clip for 1872, say t appears that the clip of the Northwe promises to come in late this season, ow iog to the backward spring, which ha retarded general farm work and h nc made it necessary to postpone shearine very generally until other work has been disposed of As to the amount of tn clip, there is reason to fear that it wi'l not exceed, if indeed it does not fa somewhat below that of last year. IL Wisconsin the focks arc not as large a. at this time last year and iu Michigan ii
 is estimated that there will he falling "f of at last ten per cent. There seem to have been no general eff)rt made t. keep up and increase the focks i'll the Northwest, owing to the moderate price of wool last spring while the drought O. lat f,ul injured the pastures and com p-lled many of the sheep raisers to begin foddering month or more earlier than usual consequently f"cks were reduced ID number to save fodder, which wa neither abundant or cheap. The advance in the price of wool later in the season came too late to stimulate production, aud there seems, therefore, to he good g 'onnds for the belief that the amount oi lhe clip III the Northwest will be some what, and possibly consid 'rably less thi yelr than last. In Ohio, the largest wool growing State this si le of the Rocky Mountains, the condition of affairs i' reported to be pretty much the same Nor is there any good reason for believ' ing that there will be any considerable increase of production in this or the New England States. In West Virginia Kentucky, T nnessee, Missouri, Kansas and Iowa, however, the clip is likely te be in excess of last y ear, though not stuff cieut to offset the deficiency reported elsewhere, while the production of Hi nois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota and other States is so small as not t affect the supply materially.
