Col. Daniels of Virginia, adore ssed
our people at Jones' Hall, Saturday eve
ming last, presenting his side to an intel
ligent ind appreciativc audience, He
advocates the repeal OF the specie resump-
ton act, believing that gold payment
cannot beattained by arbitrary law, but
will come naturally with prosperous in
dustries. He maintains that industries
can only thrive with an abundant cur
rency a low rate of interest, on long
time. He thinks this can be best secured
by issuing national paper money to all
who have adequate security to offer. All
persons who have United States Bonds
should be allowed 10 retire them tenn
porarily at the Treasury, as the national
banks now do, and receive this national
money, which in turn will be loaned OF
used in business. By this competition,
interest will tall, and good money be-
come abundant. The United States
notes should be made full legal tender
at the custom house as we'll as for private
debts. This would at once make the
greenback equal with gold by removing
the cause OF the present demand, and
placing all gold coin at the disposal of
the government. This is the only road to
the true specie standard, or to make a
paper dollar always convertible into coin
when wanted. 1t is also the only mode
by which the stagnant industry and trade
OF the country can be revived and pros
perity again bless the land, A more ex-
tended notice OF Col. Daniels speech is

A Treasure in a Tree.

About month ago jacob Clink, a far.
mer, near Fox Chase, was saving down a
large chestnut tree when the teeth Of the
saw came iE contact with some metallic
substance. Fearing the presence of some
thing explosive, he directed the workmen
to saw on the other side of the tree. They
did so. After the tree had been felled a
gold watch, two gold pencil cases and a
gold chain were, found Undecided IN the
wood, eighteen inches ffomi che surface.
They were wrapped in solid sock. The
tree was sawn off very close to the ground,
and they had evidently been hidden at the
junction Of two roots and the wood had
grown over and enclosed them. The watch
was old fashioned, having case which
could be detached, and was inscribed with
the date l740. One Of the pencil cases
was provided witha pen. The other had
only pencil and was minus the seal. The
chain was long and was intended TO pass
around the neck Of the wearer. There
was also gold watch key, whiehs however,
didnst ftthe watch. hetree had attahed
a great age being about 6 feet in diameter.
An old mansion once stood near BY and it
is supposed that the articles in question
were buried during the war Of Revolution.
The watch was unipjured except that the
hands were rusted of. NorYisto,en, Pa.

No little speculation Is now being IN
iulged in with reference to the prospects
aud success Of the Philadelphia Exhibi-
ton. Prudent minds, ID some instances,
estimate the number of persons as likely
to visit Philadelphia, during the six
months in which the show will be in oper-
alton, at Ave millions, and the average
stay for each person about two aud a-half
days On the fourth Of July the largest
number Of visitors are expected an Access
sion of 100000 to the population of that
city on that occasion Is confidently pre-
dicted With reference to supplying the
wants Of the people, both in food and lodg-
ing, is asubiect that is claiming proper
attention FROM the centennial authorities.
If there be say Eve millions of visitors,
extending over the period Of six months,
and averaging q days for each, it would
'be equivalent to an average daily increase
Of 6s,5O0 to the present population of
Philadelphia during the continuation of
the exhibition. b..

sumption of all the dairy products, and an
Increased area will be drawn upon for
necessary supplies of this description; fresh
meats, fish, fruits aud vegetables in their
season will also fud ali active market to
meet the daily requirements of the visiting
throngs, With regard to -four, the extfa
consumption viii potexceed 40, 900 barrels,
which would be equivalent to q pound and
a-half for each understanding the

they may not deceive themselves into

One Of the most profitable branches Of
hushsndry carried on in this wonderful
State is the keeping Of sheep. They are
kept upon farms where cultivated crops
are produced, and upon ranches aud Gov

tryss Sheep raising is produced here under
di6sFeAt dbndikohs from thoseof the East.
The barns, sheep sheds, racks and fodder,
that with US are Indispensable and 50
costly, arc here entirely useless, The
climate is 50 mild that sheep thrive with
out any shelter the Year, round They find
enough to eat in the pastures even in
winter, and continue to grow and make
wool thfdughoat theyear tits estimated
that sheep born and bred here is at two
years old as heavy as one at three years
born and bred in the Atlantic States.
Thieves are much more prolific.
Tits the general impression here among
sheep breeders that more wool can be pro-
duced from given number Of sheep than
in any other State. so little attention b
required that enc shepherd will take care
Of a thousand sheep. At night the sheep
are driven into corrals, to protect them
from coyotes and other wild beasts, and TO
prevent any from straying from the flock.
Shepherd dogs have been introduced from
Australia on some Of the ranches, and
these are 50 well trained that when they
hear the word Hcorralp from the shepherd,
they start at.once for the flock aud drive
them up. They also understand the de-
Woes Of wolves and wild beasts, and when
they see them coming, the sheep are hud.

sheep faces outward, his knees are bitten
until he turns his head inward. They
understand that the vulnerable point is the

pastured is Government land, and costs
nothing to the shepherd. The average

have lambs before they are a year old, and

It vas not until 1853, some years after

breed sheep as an exclusive business The
pioneer was poor man who had nine hum
