A Jefferson county farmer In one OF the
river townships, sold his wool to Mr.. John.
son, q merchant In this city. The purchase
was delivered In sacks, weighed and the far.
mer received his stipulated price per pound
and returned TO his home. The next day
Mr.. Johnson discovered water upon the floor
was surprised to find that the wool had been
watered, or In other words that the tiseces
had been opened and quantity OF water
placed In each one. The water, OF course,
required some time TO find its way through
the wool TO the exterior OF the sacks. Mr..
johnson at once wrote letter TO the granger,
requesting him 10 call at his office, without
intimating the object OF the desired meeting,
or that anything unusual had taken place.
In reply the wool producer confessed his sin,
and acknowledged that he had weighed the
water and that he had only added thirty
pounds 10 the weight OF the wool. He ex-
pressed willingness TO rscufy the work oil
his own dishonest Glands and besought Mr..
johnson not TO expose 70 too strong light
this act Of his life which made him coward
In the presence OF his own sconscieuce. Mr..
johnson wrote him All another letter inform
ing him that the matter could be settled only
by visit TO his office; but up 10 this date no
settlement has been effected, nor has the
farmer put In an appearance. There Is n
law governing such cases, and II
may prove necessary to place this
the attention OF this class Of men few facts
worthy OF remembrance. Another farmer
disposed OF his clean washed wool IN sacks to
the same gentleman, and after he had depart
ed an investigation Of the contents revealed
the fact that twelve unwashed d eches, lately
shorn from fat sheep, had been placed in the
sacks. Certainly there. is ripe field for mis-.
sionary work in Jefferson county. Even the
Salvation Armyh might find 1t advanta-
geous 10 look into the faces OF the rural
sinners.
