NOTABLE SHEEP BREEDER.

A letter in the New York Times from
Vienna describes as follows notable sheep
breeder present at the exhibition.
We have here a noted breeder of famous
stock, especially sheep, from England Lord
Gresham, and if you could see him in the
flesh-and very much it is-you would be-
lieve that the ideal John Bull of the Char
ro1i of Gazette has been induced to enact the
part of living English peer-''Who feeds
COR rears) fat oxen should himself be fat"
The noble Lord must weigh some twenty
stone at the very least. He wears a broad
brimmed white hat; his very jolly face, round
as a shield, is enshrined in two mutton chop
whiskers with combinations under the chin,
leaving full view of his full cheeks and thick
lips. \ quaint muslin neck-tie with long
ends gives his shirt front wide expanse and
sets off his white vest, and an acre of morn
ing coat spread over his broad back is his ia.
vorite style of garment. But if you talk to
him you will soon cease to laugh. A look at
his quiet, gray eyes. set under their saga
cious brows, satisfies one of the honest intel
ligence of the man, and his words soon show
that he is a gentleman-one of those earnest
men who do immense good in their genera
ton with the greatest quiet and simplicity OF
working. He was once a eight" hussar, and
he still retains the greatest interest in the ar
my. Foreign officers laughed at him las,
year when he appeared at the mannuvres a
Salisbury on his cob, with his fair daughter
by his side; but they were rather astonished
when they saw him going across country
''like a bird on his 500 guneas worth of
steed, and taking all that came in his way a.
if he were still cornet of horse. His hobby
is breeding sheep, and he has done wonders
in improving the Shropshire breed givin:
prizes at all the shows, rearing immense
tiocks, from which he clips many colder
! fleece, and supplies the markets with choice
mutton. When old Coke, of Norfolk, father
of the present Earl of Leicester, exhibited
his foc&s to old Prince Esterhazy, he was
rather surprised that the Prince kept on prais-
ing the quality of the animals, but expressed
no wonder at the number he saw passing him,
and at last he exclaimed, "Dd you ever see
SO many sheep before?' $50 many" re.
piled the Prince, $50 many. Why, dear Mr..
Coke, have got more shepherds than l see
sheep here" Some of these Hungarian meri-
noes were exhibited to Lord Gresham for
his admiration. Good heavens" he ex.
claimed "what is your clip of wool off these
wretches?' about four pounds" replied
the magnate. "Why, l get ten pounds &c
fourteen pounds off mine and what is left is
mutton CALCULATED my Lord 'You really
don't know what sheep are, and won't til
you see mine"

marginal road around Boston if the scheme

succeeds.
1t will be seen that such combination may
be Of extraordinary importance in the future.
When the railroad connection is finally made
between New York and Halifax, undoubtedly
: good deal of the travel and some of the
trade of the European steamers will take this
land route, saving much time and the annoy
ances Of long sea voyage, which is especial
ly Objectionable in the spring and fall. To
most persons who visit Europe, either for
pleasure or business, the saving Of two days
Of the ten or twelve now required to cross the
water would be q decisive argument as to the
route. The tourists between the Western
States and Europe will be particularly pleased
with this saving Of time, giving them an OPP
portunity to stop over, if their business re-
quires it, in eastern cities.
The new route, however, will suggest other
improvements for the benefit Of the North
western States and Canada. There IS no
reason why these sections should not be con-
nected with Halifax by direct railroad line
from Detroit through Canada, Northern Yer
mont, New Hampshire aud Maine. Indeed,
this line might have been far under way but
for the selfishness of the Canadian politicians
and financiers 1t was proposed several years
ago, before the European and North American
Railway was finished, to construct railroad
from Quebec to Halifax Ofcourso it was ex-
pected that this line would take the shortest
route, which would cross Maine at least one
hundred miles south of its northerly bounda-
~; but the Canadian statesmen selhshly
consented to assist the enterprise only in con-
sideration that it should be confined to Cana
da. The consequence is that this Intercolon-
ial Railway, taking long circle around the
state of Maine, has ever since been vainly
struggling to obtain an existence.
| But another and a more feasible plan was
proposed three or four years ago, and will
probably be revived when the other roads
shall be open to Halifax. This is for an ex-
tension OF the European and North American
Railway across Maine from point on the
Penobscot River above Bangor to point near
the northern border of New Hampshire, and
thence connect with the Canadian railways.
The fact that the European and North Amer
lean Company have within few days leased
the Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad, which
might constitute part Of this line, encourag-
es the belief that they propose to undertake
this enterprise at an early day. With the
success of all these combinations. Halifax
would at once become the great port of entry
and departure for European travel, and the
tour to Europe would be vastly more agreea
bic than now.

The cold summer weather induces former
resident of Chesterville to report that con the
llth of June, 1887, there were snow squalls,
at intervals, throughout western Massachu-
sets, during the day, and at night ploughed
fields in the hill towns froze so deep that the
crust of frozen earth would sustain the weight
of a man the following morning. Fruit and
many classes of vegetation were destroyed.
In many of the towns not bushel of ripe
corn was harvested the following autumn,
and farmers found it difficult to provide seed
for their next planting.

The hail storm of Saturday the eth, in Yer
non, Conn, was one of the seyerest ever ex.
perienced in that region. Three feet of hail
surrounded dwellings, where it rolled off the
roofs. Glass was broken, ryefields, straw
berry beds and even grassfields were destroy
ed. Birds were picked up dead, having been
killed by the violence of the storm Some of
the hailstones were quite as large as butter
nuts. A merchant in Rockville sold a thou
sand panes of glass before 10 o'clock Satur-
day morning, to supply the broken windows,
and these would probably not more than half
repair the damages.

%GOYERNMENT on ST. CROIX.

Agreeable to instruction from the Gov
eminent of the Danish Westindia Islands
in Letter of 2nd instant, of which a copy
together with the English translation are
inclosed, the Government Of st. Croix
would officially request You, Gentlemen,
to meet in a Commission for the purpose of
forwarding to Government a proposal for
suitable notifications in the existing La
or Regulations, as enacted by the Provi-
sional Ordinance of goth January 1849,
the later Ordinances dated 22nd February
1855 and gath August 1867 and by the
Ordinance of 2nd October 1862 concerning
immigration of Laborers from foreign
places to st. Croix and their treatment.
Counsellor, deputy Chief-Judge Rosen-
stand will as Chairman direct the discus

to the contents of the aforementioned Let

beg to express the wish that this matter
may be furthered and the proposal for

The Government of st. Croix is aware
that one of the chief aims of my mission
as Royal Commissioner to the West India
islands was to cause a decisive and final
inquiry in the question whether the exist
ing abor-ReguIations still-more than
90 years after they were issued as tempo
rary OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES their purpose.
The first time I found opportunity to
advert to this question, I indicated the
view I take. 1t is my opinion that Gov
eminent, having once, for the sake of a
public interest, undertaken the adjustment
of relations, which, according to their ma
ture, would be matters to settle by private
agreement, is under the obligation to con-
slider gravely the relations and the special
interests, which have grown UP under the
control thus exerted. But it is certainly

cultural portion than che other elements
OF the community, see in it a source of i'm
1mense benefit to the island. 60 where
you will, you will find that Contra Fac
tory question discussed and it's great ad-
vantages extolled, and yet the first practi-
cal steps towards the realization of the de-
sired object have hardly been taken. 1t is
true that neither the capital nor the re-
quisite intelligence for the success of the
undertaking is found in the island !; but
could not that which is wanted be derived
from the same sources, from which Guade-
loupe, Martinique etc derived theirs7
