The Wool Market.

The american CulticdtOr of the 10Th
has the following: The sales of wool
for the past week have been the largest
in the history of the Boston wool mark
ct. The sales amounted to total of
upwards of 100000 pounds, 6,S00,000
of which are domestic. For the same
week last year the sales were less than
100000 pounds. 1t begins to look as
though those manufacturers who have
been holding hack for lower prices
were left, and must pay higher prices
for the staple. The active demand for
some weeks begins to tell on the stocks,
and the supplies of the best woods have
becomes materially reduced in first
hands. We understand most of the
large manufacturers are well supplied,
though many of the smaller concerns
are still buyers from week to week.
There are strong indications that the
wool clip Is considerably below the
usual average.

reaped rich harvest of affection in return.
Letters and invitations poured in from
pupils scattered through various States
Homes were thrown open to them, in South
Carolina. in tieOrgia,in Alabama, in Florida
Loving welcome was extended on all sides;
thoughtful women felt now the value Of
their girlhood's lessons, and Southerners
could not be insensible to this devotion in
the day of fiery trial The strain eventually
proved too great for the sisters, who were
passed through the lines during the latter
part OF the war and were sent abroad by
their brothers to recruit their shattered
health and spirits, in refreshing study of
the art wonders of the Old World They
remained in Europe two years, but their
hearts still turned TO their former home,
and they determined to re-establish their
schOOlm Charleston. Our only hesitation"
they said in correspondence with the
writer lis lest we should take the bread
from some deserving woman who needs it."
notwithstanding the difficulty Of sustaining
aschool OF high grade in city as thoroughly
impoverished as was Charleston at that
time, they yielded TO their own generous
impulses and the call of former pupils and
reopened their academy. 1t proved need
and success, and was kept open until the
death OF the younger sister. In this, as in
every step of hfe, they were actuated by
Christian principle and "A lofty sense of duty.
The latest object of interest to Miss Bates
was the Confederate Home in this city.
where the orr hans Of our fallen soldiers
are sheltered and educated; by instruction
to classes, by lectures and exhibitions of
her art treasures, as well rs by establishing
two scholarships, she showed her faithful
deyotion to the land where she had found
so happy home. Any sketch of Miss Bates
would he very deficient without notice of
the sister with whom her life WAS so en-
twined that they formed one, not IA double
picture: they worked together like the two
hands in the human body; rarely do you
see two characters blended into a more
harmonious union than ia these sisters,
Mary and Agnes Bates. They differd wide
". bat their individual traits beautifully
harmonized like the complementary colors
blended into the single ray. The strong
common sense and keen wit of the younger
sister supplemented the lofter enthusiasm
Of the elder, and shielded her lovingly from
the rude shocks of prosaic world. Her
death was "A blow from winch Miss Bates
never entirely rallied, and those who only
knew her after that sad separation could
scarcely be said to have known her. They
are nov reunited and are living in
'The light that hath no evening,
The health that hath no sore,
The life that hath no ending,
But lasteth evermore."

The ReXfOrd Horse.

EdtOr Of the american CulticdtOr:
In your issue of May 9 | noticed an in
quiry concerning the breeding of the
Rextord Horse. lie was bred and
raised by my uncle, Orrin ReXford, of
KnOwlton's Landing, p. G., of whom
any further information in regard to
him can be obtained. lie was sired by
Bigelow's Black Hawk, first dam by
the Pink ham Horse, second dam by
Black Snake, son of Lee Boo. The
Pinkham Horse was of Morrill, blood, a
large animal, quite trotter, and left
many good ones. Lee Boo was of un
known pedigree. lie was large,
black horse, a powerful animal, and
was ridden into Canada from the States
by noted offender, who TO the speed,
game and bottom of this horse owed
his escape from the hands of the Amer
lean officers.
Bigelow's Black Hawk was not by
IIilfs Black Hawk, as have often seen
in print, but was son of Sherman
Black Hawk, as is well known 10y all
acquainted with The facts. The dam of
the RexfOrd Horse was an extra fine,
large mare, which won first premium
in her class at both district and county
fairs. 1t was claimed she could road
twelve to fourteen miles an hour, and
possessed great endurance. She pro-
duced tilly by Sherman. Black Hawk
that at four wears old logged a mile on
STAINS cad track in three minutes, the
first time she ever was driven on one.
She never had been handled for speed
an hour previously. She was nat
ural trotter, but unfortunately got
foundered The ReXford horse was a
fine roadster, but unsteady at the trot.
lie got the Pratt horse, which was sold
for $1,000 in gold, and twice that
amount would not buy him now.

Jubilee Lambert is a brown horse
with small star and little white on
the near fore and off hind feet, stands
Is ga hands high and weighs about
100 lbs. According to Sanders, he
was foaled in 1868, bred by Thomas
Harvey and John Porter, Ticonderoga,
N. Y. He was got by Daniel Lam bert
and his dam was the Harvey mare, by
the Taft Horse, son of Vermont Black
Hawk. lie was on the turf four years,
from 1872 to 1875 inclusive, during
which time he trotted twenty-eight
races, winning first money in nine.
His record was won at Beacon Park.
June %, 1879, in field of nine horses.
He was purchased by w. IL. Wilson,
Esq, of Cynthiana, KY, in September,
1879, who traded half interest in him,
the same fall, to Hon. j. 7. McGibbon
of Cynthiana for the brown stallion
Arnold, by Goldsmith Abdallah, and
as Mr.. Wilson then had Smuggler at
Abdallah Park, Mr.. McGIbbon took
Jubilee Lambert to his breeding estab-
lishment, Edgewater Stock Farm, three
miles from Cynthiana, where he stood
the seasons of 1880, 81 and 'S2. Mr.
Wilson writes; "At Edgewater Jubi.

Sorse Department.

The steadily-growing popularity of the
Morgan horse. and the increasing demand
for animals bred from the best existing
lines of that blood, with pedigrees that can
be vouched for as authentic, has led the ed
itore of this department to undertake tine
collection and verhcation as far as posi-.
ole, of Morgan pedigrees from the time of
the original Justin Morgan to the present
In connection with this work we are also
investigating the pedigrees of all trotting
horses that have proved their powers of en-
durance by trotting fifty or more public
and recorded races each. We have already
received from original sources large
amount of important information in both
these lines, much of which will be given in
these columns. For the completion of our
work, which will be published IN book
form, we want pedigree, description and
history of every mertOrious stallion de-
scended in direct male line from Justin Nor
gan that has ever been used for stock pur-
poses. Blanks for this information will be
furnished free on application. Questions of
public interest concerning Morgan horses
will be answered in this department. All
communications in this department may be
addressed to W. II. Bliss, Rochester, Vt.

Second Dam of King HerOd.

Mr.. Charles G.. Beach of Ettrick,
Wis, being addressed respecting this
mare, replies as follows under date of
Aug. 20 last:
"In regard to the pedigree of the
Everett Rich mare, would say that do
not believe can enlighten you very
much. | am getting old and torgetful,
but as near as | can remember she was
bred by Judge Chittenden of Willis
ton, VT; was bright bay, 10 hands
high and was said to be sired by the
old FLYING Morgan. Cannot give you
any dates. The pedigree of the stall
lions, as you have it, is correct.
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES q. BEACH,"
Dates make it morally impossible
that this mare was by Flying Morgan,
but this reference to her breeder ought
to lead to the ascertsining of her sire.
