rhsrsushsred ". Com mon sheep.

A farmer in this county, who is sup
posed to own as good common sheep as
anybody In this locality, sheared his flock
on the 23d, and after weighing the Aeeces,
found that each sheep averaged two and a
half ponnds. Take the whole number OF
sheep in this State, and they probably
will not average more than the above.
Say that wool is worth twenty cents per
pound, the profits from each sheep will be
nifty cents. Take now an estimate of
feeccs of the thoroughbred Merino and
Cotswold, which will not average less
than eight pounds Ier head-the net
profits on each sheep, $l.60, or $l.10 in
favor of the thoroughbred over the COM
mon stock. II is not, however, alto
gether fair TO estimate the fleeces of the
two breeds at the same price, as it is a
well known fact that the wool Of the
thoroughbred will command higher
marketable value. Now it costs the same
to raise the thoroughbred as the common
sheep; the mutton of one Is as good as
the other; the profits OF the wool of the
thoroughbred is three times greater than
from the common. Every farmer own.
ing flock OF sheep should make it con
venient 10 purchase thoroughbred ram

wool such an investment will pays

FARM AND FlRESlDE.
wheat Cslture.

From the Knoxville Tribune, we
take tAe following interesting article on
varieties improved by bybridizing: We
have received by express seven distinct
varieties of wheat grown by an intelli-
gent and successful farmer Of Bradley
county. One bunch was cut down close
TO the roots, and measures five feet and
two inches by actual measurement,
Tue stalks are large and strong, and
heads heavy and well filled. 1t was
sowed September, Is, 1876, and was
harvested June 4th. Very early. II is
called the Golden Straw-white
smooth" No prettier wheat can be
raised. We are in receipt of the follow
ing varieties. Hybrid made by crossing
the Walker upon the Fuitz; another
hybrid, by crossing large California
white upon the Golden Straw; the
" Fuliz, red smooth :" the tennessee,
white smooth" the "Clawson, white
smooth /" hybrid, by crossing upon the
"Golden Straw" All the these seem TO
be fine varieties, and all produced by
the enterprise and intelligence Of the
producer. He informs us that the Col
den Straw" is ten days ahead of any
other variety. The astonishing feature
of his operations is hybridizing crossing
one variety upon another, and with abso-
lutte success. Who will say that such a
farmer is not benefactor to his country

dent of documents, which were transmitted
to the President Of the Senate and opened In
the presence of the two houses. In the first

what Is the jurisdiction Of this Tribunal,
and what are its powersa Upon It is de-
volved, by the legislation of Congress, such
power, If any, to count the elecoral vote in

thetw houses Of Congress acting separate

HOPES oH PEACE FADING AWAY.
The English papers are inclined to hope
for peace, but as they have almost nothing
upon which 10 base their argument that way
It may be:said that the wish ID father Of the
thought. In Vienna, however, where few
false notions prevail about Russia, some
slight hopes which were lately entertained
are fast fading away, and the feeling that
Russia is really bent on war, Is becoming
stronger day by day. This view 10 sppar.
emily supported by reliable reports Of the
strength and efficiency Of the Russian forces
in Bessarabia.

ENaLAND's DESIRE TO KEEP OUT OF TIE

There is strong desire manifested in
England to keep clear of further complies
tions on the Eastern question. 1t is felt
that England has enough to do to
mind her own business, without getting
into unnecessary trouble on account OF tho
stubborn and unreasoning Turk, who will
not take England's advice, though knowing
full well she is his best friend In Europe to- |

Huntington has pretty little settle

the mountains near the Boston and
Albany railroad, of which the principle
business is the manufacture of shoe-pegs
an Insignificant business, it would
seem, but important enough to be a dis
tinct and interesting industry. The
pegs are made of birch wood, which
comes to the mill in logs foot or two in
diameter, and these are peeled and cut
into slices of the length of the pegs to be
made.
The sections are then passed through a
machine, which points the pegs, there
being from 10000 to 10000 in each
separate piece, and they are then passed
each way through the splitter" which
separates each individual peg. After
being dried in a revolving heated drum,
and cleaned in a revolving sitter, they
are ready for the market, and the four OF
five men in the factory make from
twenty to thirty bushels a day, accord
