The COMMITTEE or SEvENrY.-The
Committee Of Seventy, embracing
citizens Of o class to whose honesty
and unselish devotion to tue welfare
and honesty of the State We have
borne testimony, have not fully com.
prehended the situation, ss We view
it, in their compromise with the Con.
trail Democratic Committee. Their
object and motive are precisely those
which control US, and if carried out
in the spirit expressed, may result in
producing the harmonious condition
by which alone the conservative for.
ces can achieve q victory in this State,
It would have been wiser to advise a
call. at once Of representatives Of
every class of citizens opposed to
Radical don ination in this State,
rather than to yield to tho assertion
of control and virtual, absolute shap.
ing of such an organization by a sin.
gle one Of the parties. This is un.
mistakably the sentiment Of the coun.
try, and Of q large class Of the poo.
pie Of the city. ~
p The Committee Of Seventy is will.
ing to trust tho Convention at Baton
Rouge to determine this issue. We
hope that this confidence will I've Jus.
titled. If it is, there will be great
reason to rejoice; if, however, in the
election of members of the Couven.
ton there should bo evinced u spirit
of intolerance and "close communion.
ism" which would be calculated &c
humiliate, embitter and tlissatify any
Of the several clasaes'of conservative
voters who desire to cooperate in thu
reform and rescue Of our State Gov

most DISASTROUS. H''s 81 ,tf3la"'j

tho forces Of the federal and, Stat,

SHEEP BELLS AND Docs. MIR.
Nathewson, Of Connecticut, furnishes
the following statistics: "a =,

VI fourteen locks without bells bnt
one escaped; in five tlocks with bells
on each sheep no damage was done.
Mr.. D. Fowler of. Middleteld had I.
flock partially belled, and lost but
one sheep, which strayed into anoth-
or lot, WAS without 4 bell, and was
killed. Mr.. A. B. Coo bought . flock
and put in a lot adjoining tho former,
and soon found two dogs at work ut
the forty.fifth sheep. Tho dogs he
longed within quarter of = mile,
and passed Mr.. Fowler's sheep in got
ting into Mr.. Goes flock. Dogs. a.
ter getting the taste Of blood Of nm
bclletl sheep, may attack sheep with
bells Oh ;'yet l bolievei if all sheep
wero belled, trouble from dogs woull
be very rare. The great difficulty
has been to get bells which did not
wear the strap of. Bells with sharks
to penetrate the strap viii wear it
Oft in = few weeks. To be- safe, every
sheep and lamb should wear a bell.
Errkcr OF SHOES on HEALr1,.-
Wooden shoes are highly recommend
ed by some scientific societies, and
in, some instances by the Govern
ments Of Europe, i having been as
ce1tainel that not q few diseases, re-
sulting in impaired constitutions and
even in the loss Of life, have resulted
from the practice Of wearing lcathe:
shoes in wet weather. An exper;enc-
ed workman from. France VAS a short
time since called to Germany to su-
periptend the manufacture Of wooden
shoes on an extensive scale in tho lat

being light and easy to wear, and sro
provided With a ANAL cushion With,
