WOOL.
ITS FOHMATION. - AND GIIOWTIL
We copy the following article from the PATENT
OiTICE firearm ron 1847. We may learn from
this the extreme nicety with which the different
G f - - grades and qualities _of wool are distinguished its
BAtrope.- It:ill also be Seen that , woot growing"
is there , a scientific. business. And it will have to
be . pcirsued scientifically in this country to be as
profitable- a business •as it -is capable of being
made. Western - faimere who expect to grow
wool in the same ca re l ess,.slovealy , manner that
they 'gr4s - graii, soo n find it an nprofitabl e
• .u,
occuPation: • •
-- r• The - wool of sheep. does not grow, as does the
hair of other beasts, in a manner that every indi_
videsi hair takes its own diredtion, but its many
thriad - 5 of wool unite slways into one little tuft,
• and each of these again, stands' in such connec
tion with' the rest as may allow every wool pelt'
(eyery fleece,) as a - whole to appear like a web.
The single tufts we call the "staple." .
.;
The format ion-of the; staple ! may easily be dis
cerned in the surface of the fleece, which contains
Unit Web formed furniws, wooly seains, but will be
mole noticeable if one lays the same out together
ib imi; particular place. If we examine the Sta
ple more closely, we may discern in it the so
led "strands,"(still smaller bunches) in which many
thriads of wool are closely connected. Strands
of different forms, different fineness, orof an irreg.
ular earl tranifer , these peculiarittis to the staple,
•
wereby yet further the exterior of the whole fleece
is affected.- We may, with tolerable certainty,
from this form, and from the state of the staple
clzaw.k conclusion as to theContlition of the threads
of wool; and correctly assume that the wool which
hart !good structure of staple, must also possess
thkother good properties which render it a valua
ble; • article. But the inverse of this does not al
witikhold, because the condition•of the sheo,dust
i. and smul k moist and musty fodder, frequently the
soaked state of the fleece, &c., may give to the
stride a faulty appearance, without affecting the
goodnes.'nf :the wool, or- being injurious for the
wholelife,tinie of the animal.
The wool appears; otherviise, in .the staple,
much shinter than it really is in its extended state
bicause by its curl it is very much co n tracted.
This is so much . the more the case, as the smaller
and the more regular are the bends of the single
threads :of wool, the 'more it allows itself to be
stretched:oot'fac'be,yond the'length of the staple,
indeed, - Amble the unstretched length of the
stunk , Such• we call wool with "short contracted
"staple." and such as scarcely allows itself to be
stretched,. to half its length, or yet less wool of a
"long extended staple." - ,
The staple itself must approach•a cylindrical
shape where it is well formed, end be round and
smoothly terminated (blunt) on the upper end,
and - not flat. A too large and broad staple, which
gives the uppersurface of the fleece a thick close
nes.% leadi to theprobable inference that the wool
is 'harsh, yet - the - staple often' appears of greater
circhmference, that is, more extensive, than it
really . is; While sistronger and larger staple id ex
tent •ss- 'friquently composed of a greater number
of small ones. •
If the staple comes out strikingly pointed, so
that, it ends with a hairy point, this shows that
many hairs,' dtt riot reach to the top, either be
cause, they - are'shorter, or because they have an
irregular growth, and, en this account, the single
strands do tiotAie continually`' near to each other.
Stich uneven .wool is called "untrue," not clear,
and Causes'-many difficulties in the manufacture
heuie.we consider this peculiarity as among the
principal-defects of wool. A clear, true wool,
which is valued aboie all, on thetontrary, is that
in which' the strands; in the staple lie parallel to
each other, because the single threads art of
equal fineness, and there curves of equal size and
form.
.
if the pointsOf the staple stand out very far, we
I say:''that :the wool "is "pointed." If, besides,
: they are underneath- pretty strong," and many
stick out: far, then the surface of the fleece base
stiffiapPearance like a reed; which is likewise a
fault. $ 1
If, on the contrary,the staple ii thicker and stron
ger above than below, then, too, the - single fibres
are coarser'above than below, and thus it is not
fittedfor an even - yarn.• Sheep with each' staples
,
appear on . the first view, very rich in wool,
,
on - closer examination,_ by no means show them
- selves to be such. We must not confound with
these, staples otherwise well formed, which (es
~. freqtrently , happens) haie beiome stronger, rough
er and harsher-on - the' upper Surface, on account
of dust, rain, smut, &c.• This is not to be regarded
4 as an intrinsic fault, but only as an outward dia.-
adventageoris- disfiguration, the causes of: which
may/ be avoided, and, as far possible, ought al ways
to be so. •
Ilie curling of the upper end of the staple, by
which small knobs arise, is also a defect, because
tbenlthe particular wooly fibres are not of equal
length and fineness. ,
The staple must, further, stand upright. The
oppokite to this case indicates flabbiness. It is
only, when very fine wool is at the same time
somewhat longand soft that the staple can main
. lain rthy erectness, but even it must not be wholly
flabby,-for this would be g et the'same timeia proof
of the poOrness of the wool and its -want of cow
pactiiess,,whick indeed, are not rarely to be found
intibeep of such wool.
.. . -When the - wool in curled more on one place than
I
on ariothor, and many staples also stand upright,
Iwhile some are blunt, and others again pointed,
-,-thials then a mark of the greatest unevenness of
the word,tind the surface of the fleece maintains
a buithy - appearance; but, if it is found only•some
. what uneven, (as it were wavy,) in otherwise
even : , growth and tolerable compactness of the
ifleece, and also,Witbout showing defective points,
ithis i 8 not to be considered a fault.- It sometimes
happens, With sheep - of very fine, but somewhat
-long !end soft wool, when the same are poorly
lied.. i s' -
`._ , It is defective, When the wool on,the back of the
:sheep puts and, bangs down loose on the sides.—
; it then not only wants the necessary connectioo,
• and alsb many other good qualities, but it is also
often washed out by rain on the back and thus be rough, harsh and coarse pointed. General
.' ly, a fleece should not open , itself, but present it
self more closed; the former is always a sign of .a
' • thin state .pf the wool. If the staples are, also, at
the same time, loose and dnioping, such fleeces are
called "flabby" or'"shaky." They have especial
ly the defect, that outward• inflaencesoperate more
dislwrantageously on them" than on the closed
'ads. Mach as n closed fleece is desired, the cur

then this shows a great softness of the parts, which

We must, therefore,' labor, to the utmost, to cogn-:
teract. this fault, , which usually affects, the sheep;
between the shoulder blades - .Often_ tke-etranda
are not twisted together in,cork-screw form, but
irr small knots; this, indeed,la not sk . ,barl, but it
is not desirable:- When ,the fitrands of the:entire
fleece beconde very - percdptible, and hardy seem to
have any connexion,_ then it is said, "the wool is
furrowed." In a slight degree this is no fault, but
it becomes so as soon as there is a want of con
nection of the separate strands, and then the fibres
can be earily_ separated from each other. The
wool, then, where, such is the case, is "stranded,"
which is not very different from being twisted.
If the; .particular fibres; strands and stapales,
stand apart from each other, without showing too
much - dependence on each other, then it is distin
guished by the term "empty-hollow" staple.
It the whole of the wool is empty or hollow,
such a' conditioned fleece is called a "hollow
llsece." Sheep which are thus affected in gener
al ._have only a little wool. The faults also of
being stranded or twister are. often _connected
with it. _
When the not clear wool (already explained
above), is found in so great "ti degree, that the
strands in many places lie closer together than in
others, rind the curves of the particular fibres are
very different in form and size, the wool is called
"tangled," and in a yet higer degree "felted."—
This fault may sometimes arise_out of a disease,
a sickly- weak state of the sheep; and besides, is
probably an original tendency. In an unblemished
fleece, not a trace of felt is to be met. The fibres
of wool belonging to a staple, must have been so
perfectly closed together, that the particular sta
ple-from the surface of the fleece to the foundation
may be fully separated from each other, without
the particular fibres running up, across, or in
streaks from one staple to another, as it were
bindino- it, and probably passing through many.
Such Ares, which usually are smooth and extend
ed, and so appear longer than others, are called
"bind . " or "false hairs,`.' and then, - when they pass
in through Many staples and lie in upon the Bur
face, are called "overrunnera." These last are
sometimes to be found in old bucks, though they
were formerly celebrated animals, when they have
been strongly used for breeding. But if now,the•
staple of a fleece allows itself to,be separated even
to the foundation, then most the connection below
on the skin be stronger than on the surface, and
not - have its ;foundation in cross running bind
hairs, bat only in similarity and evenness of the
wooly, fibres, which cause an inward inclining to•
gether of the same. This desirable connection in
the shorn fleece is called "doughy," and adds great
valise to it. But the "soil-soak.ed, soily," must
not he confounded with the same. This is one
of the greatest faults of wool, by which it is ren•
detect useleas for valuable fabric. It consists
-its a perfect felting of the lower part of the fleece,
while at the bottom- of the same, many defective
fibres of wool run across through the staple and
strands, and so complicate and Nell" is it that - the
wool can only be drawn apart with great trouble.
„rrobably this fault in a great measure arises as
a consequence of an earlier sickly state of the
sheep, and to some extent connected therewith
(probably an original cause of it) is the stratified
appearance of the wool, which is especially found
in the best blooded sheep, when they are suddenly
transferred from a good:rich nutriment to a scant
meagre One or arestrongly affected by hard birth,
strained su cking, and other similar circumstances,
or are weakened by any disease. If, forsome time,
there is a stagnation in the growth of the wool,
it remains "stationary." If it then grows again
afterwards irregularly, the new growth does not'
attach itself to the old; and we notice, after some
time running across through the staple, a streak,
like an offset, where the fibres of wool - are weaker,
scantier, (hungry fine) and also have lost in tena
city as well as in elasticity. This causes the
more injury, because in the preparation of the
wool, it tears in.those places.

On enquiry we find that this institution will be
erected during the present year, on the grounds do
nated by Messrs. Denny
,and Schenley. The site
contains about twenty-fou'r acres of ground, and is
located in the Ninth Ward of the city, cn the hill
side oierlooking the Allegheny river. The hospi
tal will be mainly for. the reception of the sick and
maimed ; with apartments for the insane. The pre-
sent subscription amounts to about $34,000. We
have not nicertained the character of the building
contemplated ; butthe gentlemen who compose the .
Building Committee, from their enterprise and pub.;
lic spirit, may be considered as a guaranty that the
structure will be creditable to the city. The Com
mittee Is composed of the following named citizens ;
John Graham,-Wm. W. Wallace, Their. Bakewell,
William J.Totten, and John Besse'. We believe J.
W. Kerr is the Architect.
Kind words from our 'Friends.
To publish.the one half our editorial brethren have
written concerning .the recent infamous attempt of
J. K. Moorhead and others to break deism the Post,
on account of our advocacy of the Ten- Hour Law
and the Rights of Labor, would occupy the entire
space allotted to reading matter each day. We have
been triumphantly sustained by honest men of all
_parties, and we feel satisfied. Prom amongst some
dozen _articles in-our Democratic exchanges, receiv
ed by yesterday's mail, we copy the following from
the Mahoning (0.) Index:
EFTECT or Peasictrrion.—The attempt to put
down the Pittabirgh Post, for its manly defence of
the rights of the laborer has resulted, as it ought, in a
4arge increase of the circulation of the daily and
weekly of that paper. We are right glad to learn
this. Out confidence in the justice of a thinking
and intelligent people, that they. will :support and
sustain the man who defends their rights is but the
more confirmed. It has not yet come to pass ' that
the man with the money bags, ~c lothed -with alittle
brief power'? can trample on the rights ofhis poorer
fellow and oppress him because he is dependant on
hislabor for his bread, and no voice be raised tq de
pounce the oppressor, nor has it come to pass that
combined capital and servile allegiance - to the pow.
etof wealth, can stub the voice raised in behalf of
the laborer and crush his defender; and we have an
abiding confidence in an intelligent and honest peo
ple, that that day will not come in this free republic.
One word as to the PostV It is as good a paper as
the country affords. The daily isjust the paper for
a man who wants a city daily, and the weekly is as
gotld as any weekly we are acquainted with.
Terms of the daily PO per year; of the weekly
412,00 per year' in advance.

The w . arehouses are-well supplied with all sorts
of goods demanded by western merchants. The,
stocks on hand are superior to and more extensive,
than any of past years. Of Pittsburgh maeufactu
red articles, it is needless to speak in praise. The
dry goods men are putting in their supplies, and are
making preparations for an unusually heavy demand.
Proiuce and the staple products of the south are be

market will take as to prices, remains to be seen.
As has already been announced, the canal will, be
open ready to float boats, in the early part of next

The shipments east must necessarily be extensive.
The Allegheny trade is opening up briskly. Already
have many orders been filled for Allegheny merch.;

No apprehensions need be entertained as to mo

To country dealers we say, come to Pittsburgh
and boy freely: The farmers are richer now than
they were last year, and better , able to buy from
you.
To our city wholesale dealers we say, advertise
in the Post i and we will just whisper to you why
it is your interest to do so. Our circulation among
city retailers and country merchants is greater than
that of any other paper in the city. We think a re
ference to OW subscription list will establish this
fact. Within a year past, this clans of people have
extended more than an ordinary share of patronage
on our paper. It is mailed regularly in all direc
tions, and we endeavor to keep all our readers ad

world.

• HOWE OF REPRESENTATIVE.S4
Harristrurgh, Tuesday afternoon, March 6.
Ma. HARPER This is private bill day ; the cal
endar numbering five hundred and sixty four. A
great many passed to a second reading.
The evening session had under consideration bill
No. 439, " An act for the proteition of minors, me.
cheeks and laborers." This is one of the most im
portanrof acts; because it protects and defends the
working classes. The bill contains but three sec
tions. It is muntan in partm. The vote to extend
its benefits throughout the State, was, yeas 32; nays
38. Mr. Noble voted right; Large and Snively vo
ted wrong. Mr. SwartzweldeX is not in his seat, be
ing in Philadelphia, on the Commiupc of Investiga
tion. Rad he been bore, he would vote with the
Democrats on all such iuestions. This is decidedly
the most important of bills for the rights of mechan
ics. I am aetofinthed to fißdatnembers voting against
the bill. It passed, being confined to a few iounties,
by a decided vote. Its benefits- should have been
extended all over this Commonwealth.
Mr. Klotz (of Carbon,) made what may well be
termed a common-sense speech, in a forcible way.
He informed the House, that he a few weeks ago
_presented a petition measuring twentrene yards,
with mummy closely written ; can members with facts
staring them in the face, go against their brethren
in toil ; he thought not; and confidently hoped that
his county could have the benefit of the law, nt all
events. Other counties were then added ; I will
send you a copy for publication. Let all our me
chanics know that they too might have been included
if they had a democratic member here. I insisted
on our county being ;hereto annexed ; but our mem
bers stated that they had no advice on the subject
from laborersotainersor4eacitanics. "Were
~I. hare:
in the capacity of a member, I would know their
wants, and their wishes would be complied with.
Next fall_ will tell whether such men will be refire_
seated or misrepresented. So, let them see to it in
time ; and blame themselves, should they neglect
their own proper tights in opposition to the all-grasp
ing avarice of wealthy monopolists.
Mr. Meek, of Centre, delivered a speech calcu-
laied to awaken the finest feelings of members in bo•
half of their toiling sons and daughters that work for
a living. The borers came in for a considerable
scouring from this old gentleman." He Mated
that, before the election, these sweet-scented mem
bers would take by the hand the veriest ragged col
lier, but now they fear to vote to protect them from
swindlers. This gentleman speaks with force, and
is meek in hie manners, and a devout christian.
trust he may be spared many years for this manly
defence of demodratic pleasures. The cotton-heads
got a dart from his quiver. There is one astounding
fact that meets the eye: there are no borers hero
for the laboring classes, but plenty,-and more than
enough, of bankers, brokers, gamblers, and slack
water patriottoeasing and wheedling members.
Dr. Hewer, of Lancaster, a kindhearted whig,
also asserted, and thought it but fair that the people
themselves should be the subject of legislation. Ho
hoped that his friend Meek would be returned to the
House as long as ho lived, for he deserved the con
fidence and regard of his constituents. This was
objected to by Mr. Bull, of Chester, (or, as he is
termed, the Cheater Bull,) which created much fun
and-laughter in the hall. This gentleman said he
hid no more to say, but would vote for the bill.
A bill from tho Senate came to the House this
afternoon, to incorporate a ra ilroad from Pittsburgh
to Steubenville. Other bills came from the source,
but they do not relate to our place. The Mission
Cburch Avery's) will come up by next Tuesday.
It and the Western Insurance Company are in the
hands of the committee, and will be called up in
their regulaeorder. They will pass.
There is some considerable excitement here as to
the reduction of tolls on the slack-water. What do
our people want on this subject t There is no doubt
but the company exact too much from these poor fel
lows. The company has a borer ,here, working
away. Those who want a reform should have ono,
also, to meet and confront his one-Sided tales.
Send your papers more regularly. They are touch
looked for since the onslaught of the would be regu
lators or Moorhead censors of the Press. You and
the•party are well rid of pseudo Democrats that turn
as neontract meets them.
. .
Mr. Kennedy, (lithe Penn, stated that Moorhead
was as good a whig as he was, bat he only belonged
to the Democratic party to get contracts, to make
money.. This he stated in the presence of G. R. R.
and R. H. K. So sic transit, &c.

Is there no law in Ohio by which Howard could

should not be, for it would encourage killing under
such circumstances, but we doubt whether a jury
could be found that will convict Mrs. Howard of
murder. The press has decided that she is innocent; '
that she isnot a murderess; bat that she wasmurder

We have heard that Kingan's jealousy was first ex
cited by something that appeared in a letter from he;
to a female friend in Cincinnati.. What was the per .
port of it we do not know ; but he says there was
s omething in it about the "Soap Mines of Butler
county " and the flash papers of this city, which h e
did not like. How much truth there is in all this we
cannot say.
P. S.—Last even ing Dr. Dale said Mrs. K. would

Liegan was born in Glasgow, Scotland ; but was
raised in, England. He has been in this country'
many years. It is said that he has a wife in Erg
land, and one in Cincinnati ; to the latter he was
married since he left Allegheny, three years ago.
Mrs. Kingan has been well known in Allegheny for

frame in Brown's Hotel, made by him, which i s
about 16i feet long, 6 feet high, divided iota forty
eight compartments, each intended to contain a bu
siness card. One of these frames will be placed, in
each of our principal hotels, so that any person p or..
chasing a compartment will have the advantage of a
conspicuous and beautiful card in each hotel. This
idea, though a novel onelleivnlitas been introduced
into all the eastern citiesaidCincinnati, and is one
we think, which must succeed among an industri
ous, enterprising, busineis community like ours,
which is well aware that its interests are best pro
moted by liberal advertising. Mr.- McConitughy is
also making frames for all the itylacipal betel of Lott_
isville. Our readers should stop into Mr. McC✓s
store, and examine for themiolves.

No doubt this fire was stated by some of the
