About eight O'Clock. Sunday nighs. as
Mr.. y. b. Snyder was returning from
church, he noticed 3 brilliant light in one
of the second floor rooms in the east side
of the Glade House. Upon going into the
room. he discovered tbai a lighted candle
had fallen from the window. aud that the
door and washhoard bad isniied from it
and were burning rapidly. In a few mo
meDis more the house would have been in
flames. There was a very nigh wind
storm prevailing at the time. aud had ii
q O been tor the timely Interference ofMr.
Snyder. we would probably have an &C

The business of the past week has
been truly gratifying to everybody
interested in the prosperity of the
place. We do not regard it as spas
modic, but as the beginning of a
new epoch in the history ofthe town.
Confidence in the stability of our
progress lies at the foundation of the
present season of activity. A num-
Der of causes have combined to pro-
duce it and they are not of the transit
tory nature of those that have inflated
trade in times past. The paragraph
in yesterdays paper showing cogent
reasons for a revival of trade in
many widely separated districts of
the Union, and shows that the pre-
monition of better times is general,
will result in much benefit every
where.

"Giye the Old Man a Chance"


drygoods has so far met with Already
endorsement from the people, as is
shown, by their liberal and con-
tinued patronage; but still the art
of pleasing in all particulars cannot
be acquired in a day, and the sys-
tenn which has reduced the price of
many staple articles fully twenty per
cent, is still imperfect. 1t appears
to have been designed for the special
accommodation of the ladies, and
the men, whose pockets foot the bills,
are thought of only as the unknown
quantity to be discovered by o fixed
compliance with the established rules
of trade. That this discrimination
is unfair, is apparent at a glance. 1t be
comes monotonous ir time, and even
the wiles of the delighted fair ones
fail to convince the patient heads
of families that there is limit even
to female cupidity. The reduction
in the price of calico, for instance.
which created such a fiutter OF ex-
element among woman-kind, was
followed by the purchase of whole
bolts Of this staple, instead of dress
patterns, and while the quantity OBJ
tanned for q given price was greatly
augmented, the bills were no smaller,
and in fact considerably larger than
formerly. Had it been followed by
reduction in the price of broad
cloth to about ten yards for dollar,
there would have been a restoration
OF the equilibrium to be maintained
between the sexes. What does it
matter to the head of the family,
whose pocket is the objective point
of attack, if six papers of pins can
be bought for quarter, while neck
ties remain at the old pricesS What
does he care whether corsets sell at
four bits or four dollars, as long as
vests remain at former figures? How
is he to discover where the prof"
comes in, when tventy-six yards Of
dress goods are made to do service
when eighteen have hitherto sufficed?
We defy even a member of the AGA
denny of Sciences to figure out saw
ing from the terms of the problem
here submitted. What we would
say, just now is, for our merchants
to give the old man and the boys q
chance. We know that they have
taken the most direct cut to his
heart in pampering female vanity, but
as we have remarked there is limit
to all things, and especially to the
amount of drygoods that can be
piled upon q woman. What we
want now is q reduction in the
price of suspender-buttons and
razor-straps, and if this isn't soon
forth coming, we shall be constrained
to pronounce the present crusade
against high prices delusion and a
fraud.

EWES TO RAISE LAMBS FROM.

Stewart, in his excellent manual on sheep
raising, says:
The selection of ewes and a ram from
which to raise lambs for market is a matter
of some Importance. If the flock is to be
kept permanently, it is bestt to procure sheep
that will yield & good fleece as we'll as good
lamb for market. 1t matters little about the
breed, although the blach-faced Southdown
is most in favor with the marketmen, be-
cause of its usual plumpness and fairness. A
lamb from q grade Merino eve and a South
down or Shropshire ram, is fat at my age,
and is soon ripe for market, and will sell
better than a larger lamb more bony and
not so plump. A cross from a grade Meri-
no eve and a Cotswold ram is the next best,
if not altogether as good. A large-bodied,
short-legged, broad-backed native eve, with
Merino and %Southdown blood in her
composition, is perhaps the best sheep that
can be chosen for a dam, and a pure South
down, Shropshire or Cotswold ram makes
the best sire.

EVOLUTION.

Mr.. Darwin furnishes the agricultural
Gazette uondon) an account of a ''sport,'
or accidental new variety, suddenly occur
ring in a flock of Merino sheep belonging
to Mr.: Currie, of LARA, Victoria. It ap-
pears that Mr.. Currie purchased some Meri-
no rams from Mr.. McArthur's Camden
flock, in New South Wales, the origin of
which was a few Spanish sheep from the
private flock of King George Ill. After
the Camden rams were taken to Victoria,
lambs appeared at intervals having fieeces
of a peculiar character. And in other
f1ocks the use Of Camden rams caused the
occasional appearance of lambs with f1eeces
OF peculiarly fine, long, straight and lus-
trous fibre; but this silky character Of the
wool gave the owners the impression that
it indicated weakness Of constitution, and
the animals were discarded. However.
about ten years ago Mr.. Currie saved a ram
showing these characteristics in a
marked degree, and selected a few ewes al
so having similar fieeees in a less marked
degree j; the result, after much care and at
%tention, being the new variety called 'sLar-,
ia Merino." This is said to be the third in
stance on record of a distinct variety of
sheep making a sudden appearance.

A SAL of S%hort-horn cattle is reported
by the MicAigan Fh'mer numbering some
forty head, which, when sold even under
the inspiriting %eloquence OF. Col. Judy only
brought from $25 to $l55 per head. Whose
they were is not stated. In his i%ntroducto-
ny remarks Col. Judy is quoted as saying !:
"Short-horns had been the means of doub-
ling the value of the farmers cattle. No
good or no poor farmer could afford now to
dispense with their services. The demand
for good beet cattle had crown so much
since within his time that now the drovers
had resource to their grades as the only cat
tie that met the market supply satisfactori-
ly. When a man could secure yearlings
which would weigh 1000 pounds. what was
the use Of throwing away his time, his feed.
and his labor in stock that would only reach
that weight at twice the age of the grade
lShort-horn? The value of the land had
more than doubled by the ability OF the
farmer to produce double the amount OF
meat in the time that he used to do with
the scallawags that were reported to cost
nothing. He was u farmer himself, and
he knew all about this business" Aud we
know that Col Judy is a farmer and a good
one, toe, but his farm. of over 400 acres is in
blue grass, yes, every acre of it. He lives
not q thousand miles away from another
man who one year tried to raise forty acres
OF corn, but who on account Of circum-
stances beyond his own control made so
signal a failure of it that he is reported to
have promised ifthe Lord would only for
give him that once he would never attempt
it again. lie was a Short-horn man, too.
