R-The Journal man, because we
called attention to his stealing the sales
of registered sheep from our columns,
INDUCES in some low personalities, and
explains his thieving by saying sub
stantially that 1t is,for the interest of
the sheep breeders to have them pub
lished. Of course it is, and in order to
serve the interests of the sheep breed
ers we are paying money to get them
put in shape, which is more than the
Journal would do for any public inter-
est. No one is under obligations or in
struction TO furnish these sales for pub
LEGATION, and in having the work done
we were in hopes to have the benefit
of our outlay. The Journal was offered
the copy on equal terms with the
Register, but its regard for the interests
of the sheep breeders was not strong
enough to cause it to accept the offer.
1t has Just enough regard for their in
terest to steal from this paper, without
giving us credit, but occasionally Civ
ing us little weak abuse. If we in
return chose to soil our columns with
mere dirty personalities of the Journal
stripe. we presume a mere statement OF
come facts about the Journal editor
would answer the purpose Of giving
our paper a savory flavor, if 1t were
not entirely needless in community
which knows his career 30 well.

New York Commercial Advertiser:
"No one would have believed a year
ago that Roscoe &, mixing or James u.
Blaine, unless stricken with incurablc
disease, would have been in retirement
to-day. This is one of the wonders OF
the wonderful year. a year ago both
seemed on the threshold of greater
power than they had ever enjoyed, but
that power has melted away. Their
future will be one OF the most interest
ing studies of the time. That of both
is uncertain. Mr.. Blaine's friends say
he makes no disguise of his hope of OBJ
tanning the presidential nomination
from the Republican convention in
1884. Mr.. Conkling has no plans at
present, except the recovery of his
health that has been impaired by long
and arduous public service. But if
their lives are spared both are bound
to emerge sooner or later"

GENERAL NOTES.

The portrait of Garfield which is
hereafter to honor the five cent postage
stamps is said to be a striking likeness
of the late President. Mrs. Garfield is
much pleased with it.
The bean crop of Clinton county, N.
Y, this year, amounts to about 25,OO0
bushels, of which % 900 have been sold
and exported, at prices ranging from
two to three dollars per bdshel.
IT is said that the neighbors of Presi-
cent Garfield at Mentor, who were
chosen by local court to appraise his
personal property have found that he
was not poor in this worlds gfods.
The personal property including books,
stock and bonds, cattle, insurance, etc.,
amounts to about 100000.
Down on the Hudson old river men
are predicting that this will be an open
winter and prove disastrous to ice men.
Several dealers who harvested large
quantities of ice near Albany last win
ter have been unable to get rid of it all
and they are anxious for continued
mild weather, as they are satisfied that
they could then get up "corner" on
what Is left and sell out to advantage
1t Is estimated that there Is at least
a, 900 tons in houses in the vicinity
named.
A Washington correspondent of Sec
retary Blaine tells me that President
Arthur offered the English mission Ia
Blaine, and urged him as a personal
favor to accept. He says Blaine ex-
pressed his high appreciation of the
honor intended, but declined, saying
that he was now about to undertake tc
! increase his private fortune and could
not afford to take from 1t the Is, 900 OF
f1O. 900 that would be necessary tc
live and entertain rs the American
minister at London should do.
