VOL, XIX,

HUNTINGDON, PA.
The Common People of Great Britidn,
Wo have' just finished reading the
address of Henry Ward Beecher, - de
livered at the Brooklyn Academy of
Music, giving his impressions of the
sentiments of the British public on the
rebellion question in this country.—
Mr.B. dissects at great length the ele
ments which go to make up the public
sentiment of the British empire. Mr.
B. found the commercial classes, the
aristocracy, and very largely even of
what has been heretofore called the
anti-slavery sentiment of that country,
enlisted in behalf of the rebels and
against the Union. The great de
ment which has kept that country
from positively interfering in favor of
the rebels, has been that the entire
mass of the great laboring middle
class sympathize thoroughly with the
North. The Queen and the royal fa
mily, a large number of prominent in
dividuals in Church and State, quite a
number of the liberal and progressive
journals, favor our side; but, after all.
the controlling force which has re
strained the governing class is the fear
of the great non-voting mass of that
empire. We have no doubt, after
reading his analyo, that he is right.
"Therefore it is, that when the great
under class of England is determined
in ono direction, they always carry
their point; first or last, the upper
classes have to give way. Men whose
fortunes are made—men whose only
thought for the future is'to carry the
rich freights of the present along into
their future—that class are generally
against us. Men who have no for
tunes—men having very little in the
present to care for, who are struggling
for bettor fortunes for themselves and
children—that class are-on our side.—
They aro in our fliror, but they are a
class who have not much voice—have
very little expression, and they are,
therefore, little heard. Their report
is not wafted across, but their influ
ence is felt on the other side of the
sea. It seems to me that it is pecali-I
fitting that we, who bsiterc - :in
the common people,„should find our
selresopposed-by'tho titled and strong,
but should find our allies and fast
friends in the emerOney have been
the common people of Great Britain.
[Applause.] The result has been that
the: Government has more and more
modified its policy until it now came
to that condition in which, I believe,
wo may in the main feel satisfied,
England has determined that ships of
war shall not be seht out from her
ports to harass our commerce and
drive it from the sea. The language
of Lord John Russell, in his statement
of the policy of the British Govern
ment in the future, has met with
some few dissentient voices, but it has •
met with the approbation of the great
I11:138 Of -the British people, and the
Government will unquestionably main
tain for the future that policy which
they now stand upon.
"I hold in my hand a letter from
Richard Cobden. [Tremendous ap
plause.] He says: 'You will carry
back an intimate acquaintance with a
state of feeling in this country among
what, for a better name, I call the ru
ling class. Their sympathy is un
doubtedly strongly for the South, with
the instinctive satisfaction at the pros
pect of the disruption of the great Re
public. It is natural enough. But do
not forgot that we have in this case,
for the first time in our history, taken
sides for a foreign government against
its rebellious citizens. [Tremendous
applause.] In every other instance
whether in the case of the Poles, Ital
ians, Hungarians and Corsicans, South
Americans or Greeks, the popular sym
pathy of this country has always leap
ed to the side of the insurgents the
moment the rebellion has broken out.
In the present case- our masses have
an instinctive satisfaction that their
cause is bound up in the prosperity of
the States—the United States. It is
true that they have not a particle of
power in the direct form of a vote, but
when millions in this country aro led
by the religious middle class they can
go and prevent the governing class
from pursuing a policy hostile to their
sympathies." [Tremendous applause.
Messrs. Cobden and Beecher are un
doubtedly right, and to the common
people of our mother land aro we in
debted for all the kindly sympathies
which unite in bands of steel the mas
ses of the two continonts.—Pittsburgh

BITS.—In a cold day of winter, when
horse's bits aro full of.frost, always
warm them thoroughly before placing
them in the mouth. Not, to do this is
very cruel. Touch your tongue or even
a \vet finger to a very cold piece of
iron, and you can appreciate tho im
portance of this hint, It may be a
little trouble to do it, but it should be
done. The frost may be taken out
conveniently by placing the bits in
water.

IMPORTANT SOUTHERN NEWS,
The Richmond Enquirer Attacks The
Rebel Government,
SURRENDER AND SURPRISE
[From the Richmond Enquirer, Nov. 11.)
The people and army of the Confed
erate States have been so much com
plimented upon the prowess and gal
lantry of their arms, so much flattered
upon what has been accomplished that
they have lost sight of the fact that
more surrenders have been made by
their armies than by the armies of
any other nation. What nation in
three years of war ever lowered their
flag eleven times in surrenders.—
There has been eleven Confederate
surrenders since this war began.
Near Rich Mountain, at Hatteras,
at Island No. 10, at Fort Henry, at
Fort Donelson, at Roanoke Island, at
Fort Philips and Jackson, at Arkansas
Post, at Vicksburg, at Port Hudson,
and at Cumberland Gap. And then
there has not been an instance of
punishment in this long list •of disas•
tors; but, on the contrary, promotion
has, in some instances, followed swift
upon the surrender. If the history of
this war will show as much gallantry
in the fight as that of' any other war,
it will also exhibit more surrenders
than ever betel the arms of any other
nation during the same period of time;
and we cannot point to any Saragossa,
Ginona, Londonderry, of Genoa to off
set this long catalogue of unsuccessful
sieges.
If our people cannot understand
why European nations hesitate to re
cognize our nationality,-perhaps they
may find the cause in the fact that
the flag we seek to register among the
nations of the earth, though often
crowned with glorious victory, has,
unfortunately, been lowered very of
ten in unmitigated disgrace. And as
long as foreign nations see surrenders
so complacently made, and promotions
often following them, they are uncer
tain whether some steamer may not
bring the news of our unconditional
surrender to the terms of our enemy.
The nations of Europe accustomed to
such defences as the Spaniards made
in the Peninsula,or that of the French
at Genoa, or tat of the English at
Londonderry, cannot understand our
style of defence.
They remember the disgrace that
was heaped upon Dupont for the capi
tulation of Baylen, and upon Mack for
the surrender of Ulm, and they mnnot.
cictiliprehend - '
the wisdom of that inilita._
ry'diseipline that rewards with promo
tion those who surrendered, and, in
some instances, over men who escaped
from and did not participate in the dis
grace.
Napoleon never permitted any ono
of the officers who participated in the
capitulation of Baylen to servo under
him, and even the Austrians condemn
ed to death Mack for the surrender of
Ulm ; and yet neither of these surren
ders was more disgraceful than many
of ours which have not, called forth
oven an official reprimand. We do
not mean to intimate that all of these
surrenders were equally disgraceful,
but we do say that not one of them
conferred any honor upon the arms
of the Confederate States. At mauy
of them gallant fighting was done,. at
Viekaburg and Port Hudson;_
at Don
elson and Roanoke Island, there was
not wanting instances of great gallan-
Ary, put to none of them can we point
with the pride of the Spaniard, the
French, and the English, at places
made glorious by tho obstinacy and
endurance of the defence.
The surprises of Kollysville, Brandy
Station, Williamsport, Bristow Station
and now the late disaster on the Rap
pahannock, show how leniency to the
first dereliction of duty may entail
continued and repeated disasters, and
carelessness inflict lasting disgrace up
on the army.
Notwithstanding the gallantry of
Northern Virginia, something is wan
ted to correct and prevent these fre
quent affairs. It is but a poor conso
lation to record how gallantly the
fight was made after recovering from
the surprise. The officers and soldiers
of that army always fight well; and,
though these frequent surprises may
tend to develop the "two o'clock-in-the
morning courage," of which Napoleon
said he found but fow men possessed
yet wo very much doubt if oven that
recompenses for the loss of men and
material now so much needed by our
army.
It has not yet transpired where the
brigade of Bloke and Hays were when
the enemy pounced upon them; it is
not yet stated how they came to be la)
completely isolated from the main bo
dy of the army that they could not be
reinforced, though the fight is repre
sented to have lasted ‘`without inter
mission from two o'clock in the after
noon till dark."
No explanation has been made why
reinforcements were not sent to their
rescue; nor aro we informed how those
two small brigades came to be thus
exposed, inviting almost their capture
or annihilation.
We hope that those aro good and
sufficient reasons for all these strange
circumstances, and that Gon. Lee will
upon investigation, be satisfied that
his two brigades were lost in one of
the ordinary eventualities of war,
which no vigilance can 'prevent, and
no activity remedy. Surprises aro
more injurious to military prestige,
more destructive to men and material
than defeat in regular battle; and as
they aro so easily prevented, the offi
cer who suffers himself to bo surprised
and pounced upon so suddenly by an
army that the men "seemed to• have
risen out of the ground," deserves the
severest punishment.
The army of Gon. Bragg has lately
suffered greatly from a surprise, by
which an important rosition
-PERSEVERE.-
ed by the enemy and ono which it is
feared may neutralize much of the ad
vantage gained by the battle of Chick
amauga.' We might, by reviewing
the history of the war, swell the num
ber of surprises to the equal of that of
the surrenders, but it would be useless;
men, and officers, and people, and the
enemy, and the world knows and un
derstands the injury they inflict, and
military discipline in every army has
sought to correct such evils by the se
verest punishnlent. We must do as
the world does;.our officers must be
held to the satpe accountability that
has always been applied to negligence.
We cannot afford to be as lenient as
NapOleon was, for our necessities aro
greater and ottr cause holier Ulna was
that of the Emperor of the French.
It is far more pleasant to commend
than to censure, but as this paper has
never failed to hold up to public ap
proval the gallantry of officers and
men, we must also expose to public
reprobation every instance of derelic
tion of duty, negligence, or cowardice.
We hope there,has been neither in this
late disaster, bat appearances arc sad
ly discouraging,
The Late Fight - on the Rappahannock.
On yesterday several officers and
privates, wounded in the disastrous
tight near Kelly's Ford on Saturday,
reached the city, having been preceded
on Monday by about 150 wounded in
the same fight. They corroborate the
general report of the affair, namely:—
'hat the two brigades to which they
were attached,:Hoke's and Hays'—the
former numbering 1,150 effective men,
and the latter 976, and the whole com
manded by-Brigadier General Hays—
were on picket duty on the north side
of the Rappahannock, not far from the
ford, when, about 11 o'clock in the
forenoon, they worn apprised of the
approach of an overwhelming Yankee
force.
They, howeVer, bravely delermined
to stand their round, and they per
formed their My nobly. Ono of the
most desperate fights of the war ensu
ed. The enemy had fearful odds a
gainst them, h force being estimated
at 12,000 infantry and artillery. Many
of our iron fought after being wound
ed, and both the infantry and artillery
behaved splendidly; but the Yankees
Were too many for them. About 1,-
100 were . taken prisoners, 300 ' were
killed or wounded, and the rest, over
600, escaped in confusion. Among the
escaped was Gen. hays. The Yankee
less is e. - ItimatVer—at. 600 killed and
wounded.
THE LITTLE OUTCAST.
"Mayn't I stay, ma'am ? I'll do
anything you give me—cut wood, go
after water,and do all your errands."
The troubled eyes of the speaker
were filled with tears. It was a lad
that stood at the outer door, pleading
with a kindly-looking woman, who
still seemed inclined to doubt the re
ality of his kind intentions.
The cottage sat by itself on a bleak
moor, or what in Scotland would have
been called such. The time was near
the latter end of September, and a
fierce wind rattled the boughs of the
only two naked trees near the house,
and fled with a shivering sound into
the narrow door-way, as if seeking for
warmth at the blazing fire withid.
Now and then a snow-flake touched
WitliliTS — S - 0 ft - chill - tne - eneeir or ttio-lie'
tener, or whitened the angry redness
of the poor boy's benumbed hands.
The woman was evidently loth t.
grant the boy's request, and the pecu
liar look stumped upon his features
would have suggested to any mind an
idea of depravity far beyond his years.
But her woman's heart could not
resist the sorrow in those large, but
by no means handsome, gray eyes.
"Come in, at any rate, till the good
man comes home; there, sit down by
the fire; you look perishing with cold"
—and she drew a rude chair up to the
warmest corner, then, suspiciously
glancing at the child from the corners
of her eyes, she continued setting the
table for supper.
Presently came the tramp of heavy
shoes • the door was swung open with
quicka l jerk, and the "good man" pre
sented himself wearied with labor.
A look of intelligence passed be
tween his wife and himself—he, too,
scanned the boy's face with an ex
pression not evidencing satisfaction,
but, nevertheless, made him come to
the table, and then enjoyed the zest
with which he despatched his supper.
Day after day passed, and yet the
boy begged to be kept "only till to
morrow ;" so the good couple, after
due consideration, concluded that as
long as he was docile, and worked so
heartily, they would retain him
One day, in the middle of winter, a
pedlar, long accustomed to trade at
the cottage, made his appearance, and
disposed of hie goods readily, as ho
had been waited for.
"You have a boy out there splitting
wood, I see," he said, pointing to the
yard.
"Yes; do you know him ?"
"1 have seen him," replied the ped
lar, evasively.
"And where—who is ho? what is
be?"
"A jail-bird !" and the pedlar swung
his pack over his shoulder ; "that boy,
young as ho looks, I saw in court my
self, and heard his sentence—'ten
months; he's a hard one—you'd do
well to look keerfully after him."
Oh there was something so horrible
in the word jail—the poor woman
trembled as she laid away her purcha
ses, nor could she be easy till she call
ed the boy in, and assured him that
she knew that dark part of his history.
Ashamed, distressed, Ole vhild hung
down his head; his cheeks seemed
bursting with his hot blood; his lips
quivered, and anguish was painted as
vividly upon his forehead as if the
n - ord tvers hr,v.Asd into his flesh,
"Well," he muttered, his whole
frame relaxing as if a burden of guilt
or joy had suddenly rolled off, "I may
as well go to ruin at once—there's no
use in my trying to do better—every
body hates and despisesme—nobody
cares about me. I may as well go to
ruin at onet.
"Tell mo," said the woman, who
stood off far enough for flight, if that
should be necessary—"how came you
to go so young to that dreadful plaeo ?
Where was your mother where ?"
"Oh !" exclaimed the boy, with a
burst of grief that was terrible to be
hold, "oh ! I haint no mother—oh I
haint had no mother ever since I was
a baby. If I'd only had a mother,"
he continued, his anguish growing ve
hement, and the tears gushing out
from his strange-looking gray eyes,
"I wouldn't 'a been bound out, and
kicked and cuffed, and laid on to with
whips. I wouldn't 'a been saucy, and
got knocked down, and then run away.
and stole because I was hungry. Oh !
I haint got no mother—l haint got no
mother—l haven't bad no mother since
I was a baby."
The strength was all gone from the
poor boy, and ho sank on his knees
sobbing great choking sobs, and rub
bing the hot tears away with his poor
knuckles. And did that woman stand
there unmoved ? Did she coldly bid
him pack up and be off—the jail-bird?
No, no ; she had been a mother, and,
though all her children slept under
the cold sod in the churchyard, she
was a mother still.
She went up to that poor boy, not
to hasten him, .away, but
fingers- kindly, softly on his head—to
tell him to look up, and from hence•
forth find in her a mother. Yes, she
oven put her arm about the neck of
that forsaken, deserted child—she
poured from her mother's heart, sweet
womanly words, words of counsel and
tenderness.
Oh how sweet was her sleep that
night—how soft her pillow. She had
linked a poor, suffering heart to hors
byThe most silken, the strongest bands
of love; she had plucked some thorns
from the path of a little sinning, but
striving mortal. None but the angels
could witness her holy joy, and not
envy.
Did the boy leave her?
Never—ho is with her still; a vig
orous, manly, promising youth. The
low charaacr of his countenance has
given place to an open, pleasing ex
pression, with depth enough to make .
it 'tin Interi3stiiig study. ITls:Aster
father is (load, his good foater-mother
aged and sickly, but she knows no
want. The once poor outcast is her
only dependence, and nobly does he
repay the trust.
"ITo that saveth a soul from death,
hideth a multitude of sins."
The Cotton Prospects for 1864.
The English journals continuo to
discuss the cotton prospects for 1861.
The latest and fullest paper on the
subject appears in the Manchester Ex•
(miler, in which the writer, after an
exhaustive review of the facts in the
case, presents the following results:
First, that Jim production of cotton
in other countries than the Southern
States of America, is steadily increas
ing, the imports of 1864 exceeding
12,0 I,lo.Ay_t 0f_18.62 h r . one millirrn
of bales, thus lessoning exclusive de
pendence upon one source of Supply;
secondly, that the three countries
which have shown the most eager de
sire to contribute to this result—Egypt
Turkey and Italy—possess advanta
ges in climate, soil and facility of ac
cess to the English market, which en
ables them to compete successfully
with the Southern States of America,
not only iu quality, but also in cost of
production. The writer is confident
that in a few years the coast of the
Mediterranean will furnish an annual
supply of two millions of bales. Of Li
dia he does not take so hopeful a view.
So long as high prices prevail she may
furnish a considerable quantity of cot
ton; but when this stimulus is with
drawn, and the day of competition re
turns—as return it it is
thought, will she descend to her for

DIPIITUERIA.—We have received a
recipe for the cure of diphtheria, from
a physician who says that of 1,000 ca
ses in which it has been used not a sin
gle patient has been lost. The treat
ment consists in thoroughly swabbing
the back of the mouth and throat with
a wash made thus:—Table salt, 2 drs.
black pepper, golden seal, nitrate of
potash, alum, 1 drachm each. Mix
and pulverize, put into a tea-cup which
half fill up with good vinegar. Use
every half hour, one, two and four
hours, as recovery progresses. The
patient may swallow a little each time.
Apply 1 oz. each of spirits turpentine,
sweet oil, and aqua ammonia mixed,
every four hours to the whole . of the
throat, and to the breast bone, keep
ing flannel to the part.

of India states that the Japanese city
of Kagosima, nearly destroyed by a
bombardment of the British squadron,
was of vast extent. It was protected
along its entire front by some twelve
batteries excellently mounted. After
the bombardment the city was one
mass of ruins. This has probably
taught them a lesson which they will
remember for some time.

The Teacher as a Talker.
1. Ile should be an easy one. Of
all men ho most needs fluency of speech.
A few disagreeable twitchings of face
and sawings of hands have nearly de
stroyed my interest in the utterance
of one of the beet thinkers I have ev
er known. Much more difficult is it,
then, for the young mind to maintain
an interest in the talking of the tea
cher who has to labor to work even
the most common-place thoughts into
words! What sorer infliction any
where than a hard speaker ? Is not
the wonder that the young pupils
stand as well as they do, belaboring
with words ? •
The most prudent teacher must talk
much, and physically to talk easily, is
of no slight importance.
2. The teacher should be - a ready
speaker; a minute man in the use of
verbal expletives—not merely, or prin
cipally in the enunciation of theories
in the great assemblies where peda
gogues congregate, but before his dai
ly classes. Ilia mind and tongue
should-btreetr-.llke - ttie — iticTir - ailicate j
hair-trigger; ho should be able to bring
down mental birds as they flit by, "on
the wing."
3. A forcible talker the teacher
should surely be, and to bo "such he
must bo clear. This is tho most im
portant quality in any speaker's style,
how doubly needful in that of him
who deals with young undisciplined
minds! And to speak clearly we
must think clearly. A 'wonderful re
flex influence speaking and thinking
have upon each other. Clear streams
do not flow in muddy channels; and if
you and I cannot use .language to
make a pupil 'see' some point, should
we not inquire if the root of the mat
ter is really in us ? Why do our pub
__they-"ean't tochil:
dien ?" Not because their. great_ideas
,cannot be compressed enough to enter
juvenile minds, but because such minds
will be interested in nothing but good
and clear sense.
A clear, forcible style must also be
terse. Every word in a sentence is ei
ther a burden or a support. And, like
a chaste pillar - for beauty or strength,
every proposition should bear noneed
less weight. "Who is this that dark
eneth counsel with -words without
knowledge ?" I suppose the truth
must be told, the answer must be giv ;
on—the careless teacher. When I
hear a speaker make a most excellent
point, and then, inseead of stopping,
continuo tci:qualify the first Or make
another, until both are spoiled, I think
of a painter, who, wanting just , to
touch some lineament of an already
finished picture, finishes it, indeed, as
I could—by dropping his brush upon
its face. How much harder it is to
know when to stop talking than how
to begin ! But the forcible, successful
teacher must bo earnest. Hoar the
best authority on this subject : Clear
ness, force, earnestness, are the quali
ties which - produce conviction in minds
of any age. If a teacher stops to take
ono grape, when attempting to illus
trate some thought, bo assured, mean
while, his pupils will take tWo. A
teacher's soul must be in the work, or
it will not breathe forth in his words.
Ah ! wo love the calm self-possession
of the good disciplinarian, but never
would we have it purchased at the
price of that enthusiasm which fires
up its possessor, even before his little
audience,
4. An eloquent talker; and that is
what ho must be, if successful. Yes,
let the law sprig laugh, and the young
divine sneer at the thought of eloquent
tones issuing from the schoolmaster's
desk. The man who can stand daily
before the piercing eyes and plastic
minds of children, and feel not inter
est enough in the truth be is present
ing, or In the welfare of his immortal
charge, to rouse in his breast some el
oquent fire, has no soul for eloquence.
5. A discreet talker—not a long;
random declaimer. Truth, pertinent
truth and fact, will form the basis of
all eloquence—its limits will be utility.
No man more than the teacher needs
to know just when to speak, what to
say, bow to say it, or (hardest of all)
when t 3 stop. Judgment, judgment
is the groat thing in every buSiness of
life. I would give more for some gen
erals who have handled one regiment,
in ono battle, than for some others
who have spout two score years in
military life. Far are we from despi
sing all proper and heedful aids to any
profession. We feel too sensibly the
need of them in our own; but yet, we
do not believe that unless nature has

I have little patience with those who'
speak of that quality as the only one
the teacher need possess. A wooden
man is patient, or at least insensible.
But the teacher, without tremendous'
energy behind his patience, is a poor
affair. Upon how many and various
things the teacher must decide ! and;
the decision, too, must be instant.
When should come the gentle reproof
when the kind words 'of encourage•
ment, when the stinging sarcasm,
when the stern command?
And do not suppose we think the
teacher should be continually lecturing
his pupils, either on morals or class
studies. 0, the power of silence, the
force of a motion or a look !—the pres
sure of a quiet, self-reliant reserve
force upon a school. We envy, at
least we would emulate, the power of
the man Nth() is so completely master
of himself that the worst school can
draw from him no word of irAtation,
whose true dignity and self-respect a
legion of bad boys could not disturb.
Such a one may strike if occasion re
quires, but will never scold.

Fall and early-Winter oare of Sheep.
Probably no part of farmstock pays
so liberally and'PrbinAly'fbr'eariti'and
attention as do sheep. The'difforetiee
of ono pound of -wool 'O'n,r , head, at
sheiaring time, - would be . iegarded 'as
an item of no small importance in fig
uring up the value of li year's clip from
a large flock; yet there is often a much
larger difference than this in the in
come of flocks, resulting from Woman
nor of feeding, housing and tending.—
Sheep may have good pasturage in
summer, and good attention after the
winter season has fairly set in, and yet
suffer for want of proper care during
the cold storms of fall and early win
ter, and from an insufficiency of food
"between bay and grass." The. fol
lowing remarks which wo extract from
phe Michigan Farmer, are timely; and
to the point.____.___
There iti no season of tliiiyegrlflizin --
, sheep aro more liable to lose nearly all
they have gained, than during the fall
and early winter; and if they do, there
is an end to the hope of a crop of wool.
For the want of food has the effect of
stopping the growth of the wool, and
the moment the growth is stopped, the
end of the fibre is completed, a change
takes place, it becomes dead, in a man
ner analogous to the stem of ripe fruit,
and a renewal of good feed after these
months, and after the growth of tho
wool has been once stopped, only pre
pares the skin to send forth a new
growth that pushes off the old fleece,
and causes it to be lost before shearing
time. The cases aro not unfrequent,
when we have been told by the ow
ners of flocks of sheep, which were
shown in a very tattered condition in
the spring , that they did rt,.t know
what had into their sheep, they
"had fed them grain ever since Febru
ary-, or perhaps since New Year's;" it,
could not be poor feed that had caused
the loss of the fleece, But in fact, the
harm was done perhaps before New
Year's. The sheep had been allowed
to lose their condition in November
auc December, the growth of the fleece
had been arrested, and the interior
works of the skin that produced the
pile of wool had been stopped for want
of supplies. When the Works were
again sot in motion by sufficient sup
ply of food, they produced a new crop,
which did not connect with the old
one. Nothin. , is more evident from
this than that the economy of the wool
grower consists in keeping his sheep
well fed during the early part of win
ter,and also well protected froM storms,
for it is plain from the fact that wool
begins to grow even on poorly kept
sheep, as soon as the temperature of
spring permits the animal economy to
divert some of the supplies from being
consumed in keeping up . the more vi
tal organization, to the increase of the
fleece, that heat has as much to do
with the growth of wool as with the
growth of plants. Hence we say give
the sheep protection at an early date
in the beginning of winter, if you de
sire to keep the fleece in full growth
during the cold season.
Ite6 Cotton appears to be coining in
rapidly from the Southwest, and a sen
sible decline in the price is the conse
quence. It must soon affect manufac
tured goods so as to bring down the
price.
