FINE WooL.-Mr. s. G.. Morgan
left at this office q few days since a
specimen Of fine wool that beats any
thing we have yet seen in that line.
The wool was taken from the back CT
a sheep belonging to Mr.. Joseph
Gregg, who lives near Carmichaels,
in Greene county, Pa. The wool is
over four inches long, and is almost
as fine and soft as silk. lie informs
us that some Of the fleeces sheared
from Mr.. Gregg's flock weighed 90
pounds, and sell for about so per
cent more than common wool. The
little tuft is still in our possession,
and may be seen by any farmer who
will call. To know what kind of
sheep and the style in which Mr..
Gregg keeps them, and the prices
he obtains for the sheep and wool, is
certainly all the argument one would
need to convince him of the profit of
keeping sheep. BY the way, we have
heard nothing of our County Asso-
citation lately. Farmers, what has
become of it? Fitf

RELIGIOUS NoTEs.-Bishop Peter
kin, Bishop of the Diocese of West
Virginia, preached two very able SER
mons in Academy Hall last Sunday,
one in the morning and the other in
the afternoon. After the sermon in
the morning three persons were con-
firmed as members Of the P.E.Church
Rev. G. A. Gibbons, Rector of this
Parish, was also present. Rev. Glib
bons is very popular minister in
his Church, and with our people gen
orally. He is very genial in manner,
and attends strictly to his profession
al duties While here Bishop Peter
kin was the guest of Mr.. Thomas
Rogers, and many of our citizens
without regard to their Church pro-
clivities, called upon him. He is
said to be an indefatigable Bishop,
and is building up Christ's Kingdom
in West Virginia.
Sunday afternoon Miss May Ly-
ons and colored girl were baptized,
by immersion.
The usual services were held in the
other churches.
1t must be very encouraging to the
minister to preach to an array of
empty benches, as some of them do
in this place at present. What has
become of Morgantown church-go-
ers?

A MoRGANrowN LADY IN KANSAS
WHAT They THINK OF Her Work OUT
THERE.-The Pleasantoa, Kansas,
Observer in speaking Of the close Of
the schools in that place has the fol-
lowing to say of Miss Matte Protz-
mans work: "Miss Protzman's
charge is composed of pupils at the
age most difficult to manage, and 1t
requires a great deal of tact and pa
tience to keep them interested and
teach them at the same time. She
managed her flock of little folks per
fectly. Everything moved along as
methodically as clockwork, and all
was done without noise and hustle.
AT a touch of the bell class arose.
another touch of the bell, and they
formed into line and marched to the
recitation seat. They formed into
line and marched out at recess in the
same way, singing and keeping time.
A great deal of the praise that was
given to Prof. Whiting, for his skill
in training the little ones who took
part in "Queen Esther justly be
longs to Miss Protzman, who was
drilling them every day. Reading,
writing and spelling showed careful
teaching. Spelling lessons are writ
ten on the black board, and each
child is sent to correct the lesson Of
another. BY this means they arc
learned to read writing readily, and
to endeavor to write legibly. The
children composing her class in mum
beers, understand what they have
learned, and solve examples in addi-
tion and subtraction as quickly as
older ones could do it. One little
fellow, scarcely three feet tall, and
only six years old, marc hes up to the
board and solves his examples, or
writes out words of two syllables, as
well as some Of the older ones. Miss
Protzman has been overworked and
we wonder that she has accomplished
so much with so many little ones on
her hands,"

1t may not be generally known that a test
oil we'll is about to be put down within one
mile of the southern line of our county, just
in The edge Of Wyoming and Sullivan coun-
ties, in the vicinity Of Sciota Vale. The
Company, made up principally of Wyoming
county capitalists, are men of both wealth
and enterprise, and propose to make thor
ough investigation-goin down at least 200O
feet, unless oil in paying quantities is found
nearer the surface. Practical petroleum men
have for some time been convinced that oil
exists in that section, as the best surface IN
dicationS are afforded. In case the expert
ment does not prove successful in developing
oil, it may decide the question rs to whether
coal and iron exist there or not. We await
the result with much interest, as, if petrole-
nm or minerals are found there, the same
may exist nearer this locality.

ABOUT THE INDIANS.

The Transporter, published at Darlington
in the Indian Territory, contains the follow
Ing paragraphs which show the civilizing
tendencies Of the former barbarous tribes:
The reports of Indian agents throughout
the territory show that every tribe has, dur
ing the last year, msde considerable progress
towards civilization. At the Qlapaw sgen-
cy the issue Of rations, except to the aged,
has been Discontinued; and the Indians wear
citizens dress, live in good houses, raise
stock and cultivate their land. The wild
tribes have all made sdvsncements in farm
ing, freighting and other civilized pursuits.
10 fact the years record is such as to great
ly encourage sll who wish to see the Indian
become a man among men.
Last year the Cheyennes and AraPahoes
cul ivated /, $50 acres of land, raised 9, $40
bushels Of corn, put up Us tons Of hay, cut
1850 cords of wood, sawed 100, 1000 feet Of
lumber, made lSO rods OF fence, made 1870,
600 brick, and burned two large kilns OF
lime, be-ides doing all the freighting OF Gov
eminent supplies required by the service
A many as can be employed are kept con-
siantly at work by the agents, doing whaiev-
er kinds Of work needs to be done about the
agency. They own 6, $40 horses, $3.50 cattle
and 3l2 mules.
The Cages request that all except the
beef ratons be Discontinued. As oiviliz
men they are becoming decidedly independ-
ent. They cay Of the lsss advanced tribes
who yet draw ration.: They are willing to
be fed like dogs!" The time is not far dis
tant when several other tribes in the terrific
~ will think the same way. The thunder
of those Who, desiring to rob the Indian. cry
out that he is vaesbond and won't work is
becoming les audible.

THE TENS CATTLE DRIVE

The X. e. journal has interviewed l.. A.
Allen on the Drive and prices Of cattle. We
extract as follows:
The size of the Texas drive can only be
estimated, as there are so many din rept
paths taken. There being no regular route,
no tally can he kept and the eIsc, number
of cattle arrived at. The drive this year
from the ranges is put at 300. 900 head,
which do.s not include the many droves OF
beef cat ]. which will come direct from the
Pan Handle Of Texas TO this market. VI
the Texas drive, the cows and calves, year
lins- and two-ye8r-ods viii be left on the
Northern ranges, TO eventually lind mar
kei here. The three, four and five-year-old-
come directly to this market. This grade
is ali purchased and packed by local buyers
during the fall. Tie present prices Of year
ling steers in Texas range from $6 30 to IS,
and sre contracted to northern ranchmen al
from s. SO TO $40. The difference between
the Texas price and the conlrsc, price being
the margin allowed the drivers; at the latter
figures the stock can he obtained by buyers
in Kan-as and Colorado. Two-year-olds
are worth from $40 to SIC on their native
range, and are contracted at from Sl3 TO SIS
Three year Odds in Texas bring from SIS to
sl7. and from Sl7 to $50 when delivered to
northern and western contractors. A COW
and calf brig sl2 at home, delivered on the
Norhern and Western range, SIS.
The prices of other western cattle, feeding
and stock steeIs, are from % to so cents per
100 pounds higher at this market than last
year. With an average crop in the feeding
districts these pril.s will continue. NJ re
bulls were los, last year than any other
stock, and large shipments of these are being
made west from Missouri, Illinois and Ken

ABOUT CATTLE BRANDS.

The tanners and hide dealers Of the United
S sies met in Philadelphia on the 10th ult..
for the purpose of discussing all questions
affecting their business. The subject Of cat
tie brands is the most importan, one to this
section The tanners claim that brands spoil
the hides 10 great extent and AK stockmen
to adopt some less injurious method OF
marking their cattle. Texas and Colorado
hides are frequently di-hgured by from three
TO dozen brands, rendering them almost
useless. as they are generally placed on the
very best part Of the hide. There was a
very extended discussion, which resulted IN
the appointment OF a committee to confer
with stock raisers, and, if possible, induce
them to discontinue the practice. There vas
lengthy discussion about grading hide-, but
no decision was reached. The above account
is taken from the Shoe & Leather Review,
and we think our stockmen will do well to
consider the subject.
