SHEEP SHEARING FESTIVAL.
1876

The 18th annual SheGrG91g Of the
Southwestern Wisconsin, Wooz-groso-
e7,S and Sheep-Breeders association,
held at CGldaoezl Prairie, May Sd, rs.
The Sheep were divided into three
classes as follows: De Lame Merino,
American Merino and the Wool
Growers Glass. The chief cbarac-
terlstic Of the Delaine Merino is
length and thickness of staple; of the
An erican Merino, bett of Fleece
without regard to length of staple !;
of the Wool Growers Glass is to en-
courage the Wool Growers who do
rot compete with the Breeders.
The Society is now in It's eleventh
year The first shearing was held
three years before the organization
of the Society, and from that time to
the present. the Annual Exhibitions
have been held and these are believ
ed to be of almost incalculable ben
eft to the State.
In aradius of 10 miles from Cald-
well Prairie there are one hundred
thousand sheep bred for Wool pur-
poses, and in many of the adjoining
counties they are almost as numer-
GUS. x
1t proper to state that some of
the largest Exhibitors lived so near
the Exhibition Grounds that they
could show more sheep than those
living at distance. Undoubtedly
the rain prevented many from com
ing. Owing to the late cold weather
and the fact that the last year the
shearing was held ten days later, the
Exhibitors were all disappointed in
the weight OF the Fleeces. =
The foregoing is taken from the
printed report of the Secretary. We
cannot find space for the full report.

A Portrait Of Onenbach.
New York Tribune.

Had this composer been with US in
the old times he would inevitably have
been taken for Silver Gray Wing. HIS
elegance Of manners, his dellcacy OF
person. and the serious gravity Of his
mental tone and demeanor are winning
attributes, and were characteristic OF
that ancient and delightful class. He
conducted band, one hundred and two
in number, of brass and stringed instru-
ments, and he interpreted programme
made up exclusively of his own music.
He is notable for naturalness, .enthu-
siasm and grace, in his work. and it was
pleasant to see the abandonment-in
which, however. he never was awkward
or extravagant-with which he threw
himself into the volatile feeling OF his
music. He furnished neat, delicate.
refined performance.

What the Democratic party claims TO
be is the party of reform. 1t proved It's
title by the overthrow OF the Tweed
ring i'm New York and whatever trivial
errors its individual members may have
been guilty Of the present Democratic
House has thus far lived up to the mark
i'm this respect, for no sooner has one OIL
it's employees been discovered to be I'M
suitable by character, record, or reputa.
ton than he is made to step down and
out. The best answer for party to
make when q well-founded charge is
brought against one Of its officers is that
he was at once turned out. In the case
OF Doorkeeper Fitzhugh our neighbor,
the Republican. need not worry itself
overmuch. The Democratic House will
attend to his case and see justice done.
If he is unfit for his place he will have
to go.
The trouble with the Republican, s
party is that it upholds and defends its
rascals, and does its very utmost to keep
them in office after their misdeeds are
exposed. When they leave they gen
orally take with them u certificate OF
good character from the President.
That some of them have found their
way to the Penitentiary, in spite OF the
utmost efforts Of their party and OF the
President himself. is due to the vigor
and virtue Of the laws given us by oul
forefathers-la which are sound
enough to triumph in the end over or
ganized corruption in the highest places
