The PRoFITs OF SHEEP RAlsING-Mr. r.
N. Ramsay, who lives near Pylesvile, fur
nishcs, by his success in sheep raising, one of
the most convincing arguments in favor of
protecting this important branch of farming.
Last fall he purchased II ewes and one buck,
the produce of which has been as follows
Eleven of the ewes produced 90 lambs 9 of
them produced lambs, and produced 5
lambs-making, in all, 80 lambs as the pro-
duce of his flock, besides the shearing, which
will add still more to his profit. The stock
is Cotswold and Southdown, and the sheep
were in no manner remarkable as to quality.
Not one lamb died of all that they produced.
Mr.. Ramsays success is remarkable, and
serves to show. the immense per centage of
profit in raising sheep. Surely, so important
n means of adding to the wealth of the State
deserves the most ample protection.

SufcIpE.-Early on Wednesday morning the
body Of John Howard, II worthy and indus
trious mechanic, who lived at Jerusalem
Mills, was found suspended from beam in
hi. wheclwright shop by rope fastened
about the neck. 1t is supposed the body had
been hanging about an hour and halfwhcn
it was discovered. A coroncr's inquest was
held by Squire Legoe when il was ascertain
ed that he had left his house, near the shop,
to go to the stable to feed his horse. Hav-
ing done this it appears that he went into
his shop, and deliberately adjust ing the rope
launched himself into eternity. The deccas-
ed was highly respected in the community
where he lived, and was apparently prosper
ing in his occupation of whcewrght Do
nestle trouble, growing out of the marriage
of favorite daughter, which seriously atfec-
ted his mind, is the cause assigned for the
commission of the dreadful deed. He was
fifty years of age, and an active and jealous
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church
He leaves large family.

TIE APPOINTMENT OF BRIsTow AND
RICHARDSON CoNFIRMED.-The Dclaaoa,e
State Journal thus speaks of the confrma-
ton by the Senate of Col Bristow, of KEN
lucky, as Secretary of the Treasury, and cx-
Secretary Richardson as Judge of the Court
of Claims:
The Senate yesterday, by unanimous
vote, confirmed the appointment of Col. Bris-
tow as Secretary of the Treasury, which.
since it rids the Treasury of Richardson is not
TO be wondered at, but, sad to say It also CON
firmed Richardson's appointment to the bench
of the Court of Claims. To their honor he if
said the Democrats, none of whom opposed
Bristows confirmation, did to man oppose
that of Richardson, basing their opposition 10
him on the disgraceful attitude in which he is
placed by the investigation of the Sanborn
frauds by the Committee of Ways and Means.
number of Republican Senators refused to
vote at all, but the influence of the admins
tralion was powerful enough to lead bare
majority OF those voting TO vote to confirm.
Had those falling to respond to their names
voted "no,' the shameful appointment would
have been rejected.

The NEW RAILROAD "A corps of eight
engineers, headed by Mr.. w. Marks, have
been actively engaged this week in making
preliminary surveys in this county for the
contemplated Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York Railroad. The line has been
definitely located, we learn, as far as Riddelps
Summit, q point on the road leading from
Dampman's Hotel on the Hartford turnpike
to Watkins Tavern. The survey from Rid
delps Summit, was across the property of
John Alexander, crossing the Little Gun
powder at point not far below Guyton's
Mill thence on the south side of Overshot
Branch and the south side of Laurel Brook,
crossing thelatternear the junction of Messrs.
Favour Watson and Moorc's lands; thence
through Amos Holingsworth's, crossing the
Joppa road at Joseph Lees Shops, on what
is called Fallston Summit; thence through
the farms of the late DR.. Thomas E. Bond,
Edmond Preston, and VIM. M. Edelin,
If the route examined by the engineers
should, upon further examination, appear to
be practicable, it is believed it will be at least
two miles shorter than any line ever
surveyed heretofore between the Great Gun
powder and Bel Air. From Mr.. Edelins the
the best route to reach Bel Air it is thought,
will be by crossing Winters Run at Waters
mill-dam, and following Stony Run Hollow
until the line intersects Hoods survey, which
would probably be followed to Bel Air
The difficulties to be overcome in construct
ing the road are said to be great, as it must
necessarily cross range of steep hills running
transyersely to the course of the road. Some
idea of the heavy character of the work may be
gathered from the statement that some of the
grades between Cromwell's Bridge and Tow.
sontown are at least eighty feet to the mile.
The engineers are of opinion that the work
of grading the road in Hartford county will
be commenced as soon as practicable route
is settled upon and located.
The prospects for the road seem to be
growing brighter and brighter every day
and the engineers should receive every assis.
lance and encouragement from our people.

Mrs. Mary Grimes, living near the old
Frederick road, eight miles from Baltimore,
was burned to death last Saturday morning
by coal oil explosion. She was lighting
a fire, and to hasten its burning she took off
one of the stove lids and poured in coal oil
from gallon can. An explosion followed,
horribly injuring her face and setting her
clothing on fire. Her husband heard the OK
plosion, and fastening into the room found
her lying on the floor almost lifeegs, with
her clothing on fire. He cxtinguished the
flames, by means of blanket, but not until
Mrs. Grimes so shoclingly burned that she
died in short time after the occurrence.

TiIton vs.. Beeeher.

Mr.. Tilton's presentment against the famous
preacher OF Plymouth Church will be found in
full elsewhere in to-day's paper. It il, to say
the least of il, q startling document, and one
that, until II Is fully explained away in all its
parts, must be regarded as very damaging 10
Mr.. Beecher. 1t IL, however, only just to add
that Mr.. Beecher's friends announce that he
and Mrs. TiltOn care preparing a statement,
which will be submitted to the committee on
THURSDAY, and which Will satisfactorily explain
all correspondence bet Seen them, and all other
matters Contained in MIR. TIltOn'S statement"
Until this explanation appears it is due not
less 10 the high character Mr.. Beecher has al
ways maintaiued than 20 the abstract principles
OF fair play and justice that a iuigms mt in the
mind Of the public should be suspended. Mean
time TIE everyday worlds people, who hold
plain common sense views on such subjects,
must be excused for entertaining the opinion
that 1t will be found very hard 10 reconcile
hr. Beecher's actions in the premises-and par
tcularly some portions OF bis letters-as con.
sistent with the cOuDsels and practices of 4
teacher of morals and religion. Nothing less
than positively proving his alleged letters TO be
fOrgeries and sll Mr.. Tilton's statements to be
falsehCCds would seem to meet the case as il
stands at present.
