Wool In Boston.

The Journal Of Commerce Of the 18th
ul.., says: The sales reported show an
increase of AGO. 400 lbs over the pre-
vious week, when they were l $3.50, 100.
Fleece wool has been about cleaned out
here, aud very choice Califorui. is be-
ing taken until the arrival of the new
clip. Adyiccs from wool sections Of
Ohio report generally that the growers
will part with their wool at S5c, and To-
cal agents of eastern dealers have been
instructed to pay from $751; to Soc for
good woods. B,yond this outside fig
ure there can be no profit for the cas-
tern marNct, and the forcing Of higher
prices would be injurious to dealers
and manufacturers. The latter will not
pay higher prices, and work at loss IS,
as they did year or.two ago, but will
rather shut down. WoOlen goods are
net as high as they were last year, and
the masses Of the people are not IN q
condition ia pay higher for clothing.

CREEK AND HAckER's CREEH.-ColOncl
John Kee, the veteran Assessor Of tho
First District, has just completed his
assessment. Property has considerably
advanced in his bailiwick; but the
most remarkable feature 10 the way Of
increase is the crop of babies. He re.
turns this year 10 his two districts, los
male and o. female Americans. Uncle
John attributes this wonderful increase
over previous years to tho Granger

having been abolished by the league

Eg- Jupop IIANDLEy AND CAprAl'

Es5- JUDGR IIAHDLEy AND CAPTAIN
ANDERSON, Of Scranton, Pennsylvania,
visited our town this week. and lot on
Thursday to examine tho lands in Gill
mcr and Calhoun counties. They are
very favorably impressed with our
country, and arc very decided in the
conviction that tho soil, climate and
timber of Yves. Virginia offer far
greater inducements for settlers than
tho West. They think that q great
many from their section Of the State
will come to this State this summer
and fall to secure homes. Captain An
dersou comes with view Of securing
home for himself and some friends.
Judge HandlOy is gentleman oflarge
means, and one Of tho law judges Of
his county; and we notice in our Penn
sylvania exchanges that ho is promi-
nently spoken Of for position this fall
on tho bench of tho Supreme Court Of
his State. He visits this State for tho
purpose Of examining the lands andre.
porting to those in bis section who are
about seeking new homes. While on
the subject Of lands, We would suggest
to persons in the adjoining counties
who feel IN interest in having their
counties populated, the prOprioty of
writing communications for TuE
DEMOCRAT, giving fair and
candid statement of tho lands,
,iulbers &c., in their counties, with
the advantages of churches, schools,
&C., and The average prices of imprOv-
ed and unimprovcd lands. A few
weeks ago VIC published az article on
Yves. Virginia lands, and Judge
Handley informed us while hero, that
tho article was read by 40 or so per.
sons, in bis copy Of TnE DEMOCRAT,
and he mentioned this fact to SHOW the
anxiety of a very large number Of per-
sons in bis section, to gain information
as to our lands &c., TuE DEMocRAr
is taken by quito number of persons
10 Pennsylvania, and communications
Of the character mentioned would d.
much towards bringing emigration to
ibis State.
