MANY DEAD SHEEP.
Interesting Interview With an Ohio County
Gentleman.

Interesting Interview With an Ohio County
Gentleman.
Mr.. L. P. Sisson, of this county, an eX-
tensive cattle and sheep raiser and also a
wool buyer for many years, in discussing
the prospects for the sale OF wool this sea
son to a Pittsburg reporter said: The
mortality among sheep last season was
something fearful. In my own county hun
dreds Of sheep literally starved to death.
The winter began early, after one Of the
most barren harvests in local history. The
intense heat Of the summer of 1891, tenn
pered by very few showers and local rains,
served not only to affect the crops
of corn and oats, but literally TO burn the
grass on the ground. The hay crop was
exceptionally light. The winter of lSS 81
was phenomenal one, both in character
and the matter of duration. AT no time
was it profitable to allow stock to ruiz at
large, which the dearth of food made almost
imperative. AS early as February the ex-
actions Of the weather had exhausted the
scanty stores Of the summer and fall In
March nearly every farmer had no proven
der for his sheep, and they in many in
stances were forced to turn them out TO die,
which they did BY scores all over the eoun-
ty and the adjoining county Of Washington
in Pennsylvania
In response to q question as to whether
sheep were as abundant in Western Penn
sylyania, Western Virginia and Eastern
Ohio as formerly, Mr.. Sisson said;
"0h, no. The matter of sheep husbandry
has fallen of very materially within the last
FIVE or ten years. Wool does not pay the
same prices that it formerly did. There is
no incentive to farmers to raise it. What
with Australian, African and other foreign
competition, and the development Of con-
petition in Southern States, there is little
encouragement for a farmer here who must
raise sheep, feed them and eompete for
prices for them and their products in eli.
mate that is in oil essentials against their
interests. Farmers have largely turned
their attention to the culture Of other aai
mails and are allowing the sheep 70 go"
Mr.. Sisson thinks there will be little or no
improvement in the price OF wool this year,
as much of the clip Of 1884 is still in,
the hands of growers.

THE POOR HOUSE,
Card From Superinte ndent james
Creighton.
Il IL l.. Ll-..i-L

Creighton.
To the Editor Of Register.
SIR: In reference to the reports as 20 the
condition of the comfy Infrmary, Wish 10
say that the statements made by me to the
ladies Of the Christian Association were no.
made with view to reflect on the former
Superintendent. Ny idea was to point out
the great difficulty, if not the impos ioility
of keeping place inhabited by tina, class
of inmates in a thoroughly cleanlJ condi
ZION. Nearly all the inmates that come
there have more or less lice and bid bugs
on their persons, and it is herdly possible
that the building can be kept entirel Y free
from them. The place was in worse con-
dition than usual at the time | took charge,
but This was no doubt due to the fact
that Captain Plankey hal for
long time been seriously il and
unable to give it any attention. | have fire.
quently said to members of the Poor House
Committee and 10 others that the house was
left in good condition, considering the cir
cumstances and difficulties under which
Capt. Plankey's family were placed during
the last few months of their occupancy. |
have always understood and believed that
while the late Superintendent was in good
health the house and its inmates were as
we'll taken care of as at any similar institu-
ton in the country. The people that come
there are, as before stated, nearly ways in
filthy bodily condition, and infected with
vermin. A large proportion Of them are
diseased, some of them being afflicted with
ailments Of the most loathsome character.
Many Of them are partially or wholly de-
mented, and cannot be made to take proper
care of their persons or rooms. These
facts would make it difficult for the most
active man with all the assistance he could
wish to keep the house at all times entirely
free from small vermin. / spoke OF these
matters to the ladies in order that they
might perceive the difficulties of the situs-
uou and not to criticise my predecessor or
any one else.
There is only one case in which cans are
set under the bedposts, aud that wac dis.
covered by the ladies themselves, without
their attention being called to it by me.
The man is a cranky old fellow, and think
placed the cans there out of q mere within
rather than as q protection against bed
bugs, as his room contains but few If any.
There are reaches in the house. but not in
such great numbers as might be inferred by
the language Of your article in Tuesdays
paper. The supply of clothing for furnish
ing change for new corners was q little
short, because of the fact that the supply
had run down and the number of new
corners was unusually large.

A Chinese Restaurant.

You have never dined, reader, at
Chinese restaurant. You enter and
perch upon a stool near a large square
table. Then moment the attend.
ant has put down in front Of you a
teapot filed with fresh, boiling tea,
a tea-cup one-third the size used by
Americans, two ebony chop sticks, a
porcelain spoon, a tiny liqueur-bowl,
and a saucer filed with a chocolate
fluid called se-yu. This is hybrid
between salt and dilute Worcestershire
sauce. The first course is cold roast
chicken, served with picked perfumed
turnip. The flesh is tender, snow
white and free from sauce. It is cut
into small pieces, but these are ar
ranged SO as to preserve the outline Of
the fowl. You seize a piece with your
chop-sticks, dip in the sauce, and then
eat it in solemn silence. The next
course is fresh fish, steamed, boiled, OF
fried whole and covered with q dark
and very aromatic sauce. With 1t is
served a bowl heaped to overlooking
with rice. 1t is cooked as only the
Chinese can-each grain soft and ten
der, and distinct from its fellows.
Next appears bowl of chicken soup,
on whose surface floats a few thin
slices Of some green vegetables. Then
follow roast duck with picked carrot,
chow-chop-sue a ragout of chicken
liver, lean pork, bamboo-tip, celery
bean-shoots, and Onions), dried fish,
steamed chopped pork, macaroni and
