Wool w. H. /Pettibone brought in
to this vicinity some three or four years
ago, small flock of American Merino
Sheep, and has, in addition to his other
farm pursuits, devoted considerable atten-
ton 10 wool growing. His success has
been very satisf ctory and he says he
desires no better business than wool
growing, even at the present prices. His
flock has been remarkably healthy, and
the yield has been excellent He sheared
from 40 sheep this season, most of them
but two years old, ,115 pounds of wool,
of the best quality. He showed us the
other day fleece taken from young
eve, that brought down the scales at III
pounds, and some of the bucks went five
pounds better. Mr.. Pettibone pursues
his sheep raising as regular business, IT.
respective of the state of the market
Last year he got SO cents per pound for
his clip this year 36 cents, or over $500,
besides the increase of the flock. He con
siders the business at these figures, or
even lower figures, much more profitable
than ordinary farming, and his experience
has demonstrated to him that our soil and
climate are well adapted to sheep raising.

INDIAN MOUNDS IN WEST VIRGINIA.
At a recent meeting of the Mary
land Academy of Sciences a letter
was read IRON the Rev. Horace T..
Hayden, a corresponding member,
giving very interesting account of
Indian mounds in Mason county,
of the Kanawh river, within space
of twenty miles, are twenty-four
mounds. though by the cultivation of
the soil they have become muck di-
miHished in size. One large mound,
five miles from Kauawha Court House
is forty feet high and $50 feet in cir
cumfereuce at its base. The trees on
its summit must be from fifty to six
ty years old. A mound near Mount
Pleasant is the only one the writer he S
ever seen that gives evidences of hav-
ing been built from soil found in the
Immediate neighberhood. A mound
on the adjoining farm was built OF
small stones thrown together. Upon
examination some of these tamuli re-
veal nothing more valuable than stone
pipes, stone axes and some pieces OF
pottery. Near the town of PoiI
Pleasant is i. large ledge of rock, facing
the Ohio River, which few years
ago was covered with hieroglyphics,
whether of Indian origin or the work
of an earlier race is not known.

HIPOKRASY.

Hipokrasy il one ov. the lowest

Hipokrits, without meaning it, and,
without even suspekting il, pay to vir-
tew one ov the finest compliments she
ever receives, for they acknowledge
her power and simplicity, when they
array their wolfish forms in her lambs
wool.
Hipokrasy il not only a CRATE wick
edness, but dredful phoolish one
toe, for it kests bubble the time and
pashunce 10 be cunning nave that it
duz to be honest.
Thare would be poor excuse, at
least for practicing hipokrasy, if this
vile article ever did sukceed in eskap-
ing detekshun, but sooner or at last
we have seen an imposture of emmy
kind brought to grief.
1t iz very rare. if ever, that a crime
or deceit il buried with It's perpetra-
tor, and there il hardly emmy thing
that iz dishonest which the world dis
pizes more and will work harder to
deteket than hipokrasy.
Hipokrasy, like impudense, il cer-
tain sign ov weakness, and like impu-
dense, too, il allwuss sorry howard.
Theze two moral vagrants are often
found in each others kompany, but az
a general thing hipokrasy il too mean
to be impudent, and sneaks about the
world humble, but devilish.
Next to stealing stands hlpokrasy
two sins that don't beleaye the devil
