The Wool Mark ct.

Boston, July 13.-In wool the improvement noticed last week con tinues, the demand being active for nearly all grades of domestic, with large transactions, amounting to up- wards of 2,5OO,OOO pounds and q very finn market. The new clip flom the West has been arriving quite freely. Prices, as compared with current rates in the interior, are comparatively low, and it is not surprising that the manufacturers have been disposed to purchase more freely than for some time past, especially as q lower range of prices can scarcely be looked for at pres cnt. All the large wool houses here are free sellers at current rates. California is in the demand, and prices are steady and firm. Sales of 35G,OOO pounds Spring at 200 30c. The only sale of Fall was 5,2OO pounds at 134c.

BUFFALO HORN, the epresent leader of the Baunocks, is well known in this city and throughout all the re- zion of country embraced between the Sierra Nevadas on the west, the Missouri river on the east, the P;.- cific railroad on the south and the Dominion Of Canada on the north. He is q haIfbreed, and has always been friendly to the whitc+. Two years during the Black Hills cam paign, he was Crooks chief scout, and in that position out-ranked even such men as Wild Bill and Cap tain Jack Crawford. He is thor oughly familiar wi.h the strategeti
 cal tactics of the United States troops, brave tn rashness, and har- dy beyond even the usual run of h. dirns. He will probably not lay down Lis arms until absolutely driven to it.-AuStm RereiHc.

Now that the Mineral Resources of Arizona are being rapidly developed, agricultural products will be in great demand and the Farmer will quickly find himself King, and while enjoying home comforts will reap largely of the golden harvest of the hardy miner. Prospectors who are searching the noun tains for hidden treasures it may be poor as Jobs turkey-will in a moment find themselves Bonanza Kings and be able to revel in luxury the rest of their days; but all men cannot become owners of rich mines!

ton of Justin S. Morrill, to the United States
Senate, PROFESSIONALLY expresses the scnti-
ment of the great mass of the Republicans
of Chittenden county and will find hearty
echo in the other parts of the State. Mr..
Morrill, is one of the most deservedly respect
ed, influential and useful members of the
Senate, and Vermont may congratulate her
self that while the Republican side of the
Senate is waning in members, influence and
character, she can retain the services of SEN
ators who serve her and the country with
such fidelity and capacity.
The report of the committee on resolu-
lions did not meet with very cordial re-
ception. The Convention would have
unanimously adopted commentator of
the honesty of purpose of President
Hayes; but the praise of his Southern policy
was not so welcome and had the resolutions
been presented at an earlier hour, and mo-
ton made to divide the report. the first reso-
luton would have been modified or tabled
But the Convention was about to break up.
The delegates wanted to get away. Some
had left. OF the rest, many did not care to
stay to discuss matter over which they had
no desire to quarrel with other Republicans.
Nobody was ready with any motion to amend,
and the resolutions were allowed to pass,
though the number Of noes showed that
large proportion of the delegates were ready
to reject the whole report, rather than accept
declaration which went further than they
they willing to go. We think the commit
tee on resolutions would have done better
thing, for the party and for the President, if
they lad reported a resolution on which the
Convention could have cordially united,
rather than to have secured doubtful, and
at best partial, acceptance Of more sweep
ing endorsement.
