favorable season to aid them, has been

Village Newspapers.

Nothing is more common than tc
hear people talk Of what they pay fol
advertisements, etc, as so much given
in charity. Newspapers, by enhanc
ing property III the neighborhood
and giving the localities in which
they are published a reputation
abroad, benefit all citizens, especially
if they are merchants or real estate
owners, thrice the sum they pay for
their support Besides, every pub
lie spirited citizen has laudable
pride in having paper he is not
ashamed of; even though he should
pick it up in New York or Washing
ton.

and. is iA,s sany respects desira-
bic public convenience. If from any
cause the matter in the local or editori-
al columns should not be up to your
standard, do not cast it aside and
pronounce it good for nothing, until
satisfied that there has been no more
labor bestowed upon it than is paid
for. If you want a good paper, it
must be supported-not in the spirit of
charity, but because you feel a neces-
sity to support it. The printing press
is the power that moves the people.

Valuable to Every Home.

We shall do our readers favor
by calling their special attention to
the value, the usefulness, and we may
say the direct profit, Of supplying
themselves the present year, with
one of the cheapest, as well as the
most valuable Journal issued in the
country. 1t costs hardly half cent
a day, sum easily saved, while Its
practical hints and suggestions will
be most likely to bring back that
amount many times over. The 5OO
TO 600 beautiful, instructive Engrav-
incs, are alone worth many times
the cost of the paper. We refer to
the American Agriculturist, SO called

ily in the Country, Village. and City

full. reliable, and instructive. Each
number contains A large double

has much for instructing and pleas
ing Housekeepers and Children, and
Farmers, Mechanics, Merchants-in-
deed all classes. It's House Plans
and improvements, with Engravings
and particulars as to cost, and the
common sense directions, are worth
more than many costly architectural
works. It's constant, persistent,
fearless exposure of Humbugs and
swindling schemes, is of great value
to the whole country and to every
individual. In short it is full of good
things for everybody to take it this
year. 1t will be specially valuable
this Centennial year. Its circulation,
which is hundred fold greater than
the majority of other journals en-
ables the publishers to supply the
American Agriculturist at the very
low rate of S1.60 a year, postpaid,
or four copies for $40. Take our
advice and send it TO the publishers,

Wool.

We have the Monthly Wool Cir
cular from the successors of Brown
& Son, New York, giving the result
of the years trade. On the whole
it has not been prosperous. The
fact has become evident that more
woolen goods were made than the
country would consume, and large
numbers of mills have been obliged
to stop work. Several heavy com
panies have failed after struggling
on for years, and these failures have
entailed heavy losses on wool buy
ers. All these things have decreas-
ed the price of wool.
Our Ohio woods started off at about
45c, but buyers found they were
above the market and the prices
have been from 40 to 45c. The gIut
in the market has been partially re-
heved, but still the supply is FULL
The coming year promises to be
better than the past, but prices of
wool will not probably be higher.
Ohio is the largest wool raising
State in the Union, but California is
rapidly advancing to the front, and
will soon take the lead. The expense
of keeping sheep is much less there
than at the East Sheep are healthy,
and rapidly increase. The quality
of California wool is also rapidly i'm
proving by the introduction of the
fine Vermont bucks to large extent.
They shear their sheep twice each
year, and this also gives them an ad-
vantage. Colorado, Mexico, Texas
and Nevada have become large wool
raising sections.

been industrious and pains taking,

the most authentic sources, while
his style is clear, animated and con-
