Commenced,

~Os-S.o-N-@S~F-t
CADlz, o., June l3.-The Harrison Coun.
ty Wool Growers held a meeting in the
court house this afternoon to exchange
views upon the prospects and prices of the
present wool crop, and as to the proper
time to harvest wheat. The meeting was
not largely attended, but manifested con-
siderable interest in the discussion Of the
questions, which was participated in by a
number Of our best farmers from different
parts Of the county. The general opinion
seems to be that the condition Of the pres
ent clip Is much better than usual, yet the
growers think the Eastern buyers do not
discriminate sufficiently between good
and poor condition in their prices. thus
offering premium for grease, dirt, &c.
On the subject US to the better time to sell
there was variety OF opinions, some
claiming wool should be sold with the
market, others that not until q tair price
was paid. AS every grower claims his
wool is Just in us good a condition as his
neighbor's the buyer has difficult job to
make proper discrimination. The wheat
cutting question brought on an animated
discussion. The meeting passed the fol-
lowing resolutions:
|. 1t is thought from present indications
the prospect OF an advance in prices OF
wool will be realized before the close OF
the market, especially for the better classes.
2. Wheat is better to be cut before it is
dead ripe, and should be harvested as soon
as the straw is reasonably bright and the
grain entirely dried, il the weather is at
all favorable.
There is about 100000 pounds of wool
grown in this county this year. A large
quantity, say oue.iourth OF the clip, has
been sold at about s. cents. VIM. Cros.
key, Of Green township, some weeks ago,
sold his clip at 90 cents per pound
to q. NJ. Hogg, Jr., OF Cattiz, for the Ra-
cine Mills OF Wisconsin. 1t was last
years wool, extra nice-in fact, it proba.
bly, is the finest wool in the United States.
The special fact that it went West and not
East, TO be manufactured is worthy OF
mention. Our farmers are wide awake to
their interests, you bet. a......a

CLEVELAND, O., June l5.-The Rev.
DR.. Hayden, pastor Of the First Presbyte-
rian Church Of this city, does not like
Sunday newspapers; nor is he very much
in love with newsboys who sell them on
the streets. This morning boy ventured
in hearing distance OF the church, calling
out the names of his papers. This touched
the usually verv gentle divine, and as he
arose to deliver a sermon on 'Faith, Hope
and Charity" he dressed off Sunday pa
perssini few words rather uncommon
with him. He evidently thought it a great
sin that Sunday newspapers should be
printed at all, and great nuisance that
any boy should dare 10 enter the neighhor.
hood OF his church with them. In New
York there was no crying OF Sunday pa
person the streets, and why it could not
be so in Cleveland was beyond his com.
prehension. At any rate, he wanted no
more OF it around the Old Stone Church,
and appealed to his congregation to rise
up and stop the nuisance, as he termed it.
