DISSERTATION OF OUR GRAvEYARDs.-Last

prospect that an appropriation may be made to

satisfaction to large number Of the farmers
of Westmoreland. This creek is the longest ln
the county and separates two of its most fertile
townships. 1t has hitherto been navigable
only by very small craft 10 consequence of a
narrow and tortuous outlet
Very little real estate is changing hands in
this section at present. though the valuable

There is great activity in the wood business
this winter. The axes are heard echoing III

Several parties have contracts to supply large
quantities in New York at IS per cord. The
colored men seem to prefer the labor Of the axe
to that of the plough, and many farmers are
embarrassed for the want of hands
The trade 10 ivy root is also receiving con.
siderable attention here 1t is estimated that
not less than $4,000 or $1,000 worth was sold
last year in the vicinity of Union Village and

of the Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton:
A flock of 6S ewes, bought in the autumn Of
1868, was turned upon Virginia wheat stub
BILE, seeded withclover, and without other feed or
care, over 100 lambs were sold in May at s.
per head, realizing nearly $500 above the cost
of the ewes, in addition to the original stock
and wool on hand
A gentleman in York county, Va, writes
Inc that he keeps 100 common ewes breeds to
Southdowns. sells an average Of 50 lambs an
nually at 81 each, and obtains enough for wool
to pay all expenses of keeping; while the beue-
fit received by his land is equal to the interest
on its value, leaving the receipts for lambs as
interest and profit on investment.
Another in Clarke county, Va, tried Meri-
yes and Cotswolds Both breeds did well
but while the Merino lambs brought So each,
the Cotswold were worth 81, and the prolifca-
cy of the Cotswold's was far greater.-Rich
