“MOUNT ARARAT."
On Saturday last.we paid a visit to the beau
tiful and romantic country residence of ear frit nd
and neighbor, Mr. J. D. Williams, about half a
mile East of Mmersville. In company with "Mr.
W. we ascended the high hill immediately ad
joining his premises on the East, and there bod
the exquisite pleasure of enjoying one of the
most delightful views we ever beheld. This bill
is the highest in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh,
and we believe it has been called “Mount Ara
rat,” by some biblical scholars who have visited
it, and the name is certainly not inappropriate.
From this spot we had a glorious view of the
country for about thirty miles around Pitts
burgh. i
Away towards the East, as far as the vision
extends, a distance of- some 35 miles, may be
seen Chestnut Ridge, slumbering on the horizon,
with its blue peaks kissing the sky. Nearer, the
hills of Turtle Creek rise boldly up to the view.
'Still nearer, may be seen the boroughs of Wiikins
burgh and East Liberty, and the beautiful val
ley in the midst of which the latter place is to
cated* with, its rjcik fields, handsome villas and -
lovely groves. Immediately below, when look
ing in the same direction, may be seen the tr&olt
of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, windirtg
round-the hill liken serpent. A little to the
left, the quiet village of Lawrenceville, the U. S.
Arsenal, Duquesne Borough, Jit. Troy, Stews rts
town, Sharpsburgh, the two Cemeteries, anf 1 the
entire Allegheny valley, are spread out b efore
the vi«w. In glancing over the many beautiful
scenes in that direction, the eye is unablf: to se
feet one more lovely than the rest on w) uch to
least The whole, taken together, form a land
scape of unsurpassed loveliness.
Towards the North, across the Afleghr sny river,
there is an uninterrupted, view for ms my miles,
extending into the interior of Butler county.
Towards the West and North West, there is a
magnificent view of Allegheny city, Manchester,
and the Ohio nver, for about four r ailes. It was
between 5 and 6 o’clock in the a/ .ternoon when
we were on “ Mt. Ararat,” and t ±s that is about
the time a fire is kindled in near -\y every honse
when preparing for supper, Vhe smoke which
ascended from the thousands t jf ohimneys in Al
legheny, gave to the place v . truly terrific ap
jpear&nce—such an appearv jee, wo imagined, as
Sodom and Gomorrah prey ented when the curse
of the Almighty rested upon them for their
transgressions! But w must not bo understood
as wishing to compare the people of Allegheny
to the inhabitants of tie “ Cities of the Plain,”
for we verily believe that there are at least an
hundred families m our neighboring city who
are not given up to abominations!
Far towards tfr.e sunset, may be seen the high
MUa in Washington county, in the neighborhood
of Florence, a distance of some 26 miles. Near
er, the smoka of Pittsburgh, (the city itself can
not be seen,} rolls up in clouds to the sky.
Every time we look at the smoke of our beloved
city from a distance, we cannot avoid thinking
.of the lines of the author of “Clinton Bradshaw,”
who described his first visit to the Weßtin rhyme.
He impudently asked, —
“ Say, were you ever westward driven,
To where Pittsburgh, like a deep transgression.
Looks black, and smokes, and smells to Heaven?”
But the smoke of onr city, although it may
not be agreeable at first to strangers, yet to our
old citizens, who have grown up with her growth
and strengthened with her strength, it is not the
least source of attraction !
To those who are fond of visiting* -scenes
of beauty and romance, we recommend a visit
te "Mt. Ararat,” during a clear, calm day,
and~we- feel certain that they will be grati
ied and delighted. It is certainly one of the
oveliest Spots in the vicinity of Pittsburgh.
The Return to Washington
After the President and most.of the heads of
Departments having been absent from the seat
of government during nearly the whole summer,
WO flnd*That at last there are four now at their
poSts, and the President is expected to be at his
post some day this week. These men and their
friends have been the foremost to denounce
-Presidents for dereliction of duty,
t- -.-.i-'r- uhrrrJ with electioneering through the
S u'nv- "if they absented themselves from
j.'r?- even though it were but
for" a Tew days; while a Whig President and
Cabinet can leave their - posts for months, and
there is no fault found with them for it It is
not a little strange, too, that one of our foreign
canisters, (Mr. Letcher, -of /Kentucky,) has
fotnd it necessary to leave Mb post in Mexico:
and temain at home for several months, while
objects of the Mghest consequence were claim
ing his attention, in the country to whioh he
hadfceen sent. We are told by the WMg press
that Ihe .Democrats have sought to ruin the
country-—or that the Democratic policy was
feringing]tQixfc«ipon it; but we scarcely can be
lieve that shy me&sqnes of the Democracy would
no certainlyjproduce thqt result as soon as the
ntter neglect of their dukes,manifested by the
Whigs* --? • -u- s
The net "incomes of the New;
Journal of Commerce is estimated at from $3O,
000 to $40,000. One fourth of the establishment,
has| gpt bwa sold for $40,000. ■
We are greatly pleased to find that the tone
of the Democratic press, throughout the coun
try, is in perfect unison on the subject of the
wrongs inflicted upon our countrymen by the
merciless Spanish ruffians in authority in Cuba.
With one accord they sustain the jjublic opinion of
the oountry; and deeply sympathise with the
emissaries of Liberty who have been butchered
in cold blood. We cannot say we are please&t o,
see that the Whig press, -without an excitron
that we know of, is just where the Tories of the
Revolution were; where the revilers of Jefferson
and Madison from 1808 to 1812 were, in relation to
the war with Great Britain; where the contemners
Texas and her friends were while the brave were
being slaughtered at Goliad and the Alamo ; and
where the friends of Mexico were In a war un
justly waged against the people of this country,
by that once arrogant and almost despotic gov
ernment. They are on the side of power, even
though wielded by a monarch or a despot!
Clarion County Convention*
At the call of the Democratic County Com
mittee, the delegates of the different boroughs
and townships of Clarion county met In Conven
tion in Clarion, on the 25th ult. On motion, the
following officers were elected:
Thcjills Magee, Esq., President.
Bamuel McCullough, John H. Groce, Vice
Presidents.
John H. Boggs, J. S. Turney, Secretaries.
On motion,
Resolved, That we vote for candidates by bal
lot.
The business of the Convention was then pro
ceeded with as follows:
President Judge, John C. Knox.
Assembly, Reynolds Laughiin.
These were disposed of by unanimous consent
of the delegates.
On the second ballot, William Curll, Esq. and
Col. David B. Long, having a majority, were de
clared the nominees for Associate Judges.
County Treasurer, Wm. T. Alexander.
County Commissioner, Peter B, Simpson.
County Auditor, Daniel Aaron.
Representative Conferees, C. E. Beman, Capt.
Robert Barber, George W. Confer.
Judicial. Conferees, Daniel Brenneman, John
Weaver, Dr. Reid Goe. Instructed for Hon.
John C. Knox.
The following are among the resolutions
unanimously adopted:
Resoived t That the slanderous epithets heaped
upon Hon. James Buchanan, by Gov. Johnston,
in his speech in Clarion, are evidences of the
purity of character and true republican princi
ples of “ Pennsylvania’s favorite sonthat we
believe the Union will vindioate his virtues by
elevating him to the highest office in the world,
the Presidency of the United States.
Resolved, That to abuse James Buchanan in
Clarion county, is to insult many more than
merely the members of the Democratic party —
whose State pride and personal knowledge of
this revered statesman and philanthropist, will
cause them to redouble their energy in his de
fence.
Resolved , That the present administrations
have proved to be capable of extravagance,
fraud and proscription such as has been known
in no others since the organization of the gov
ernment.
Resolved, That we are opposed to any further
agitation of the slavery question—and fully con
cur in all the compromises as settled by the laßt
Congress.
Resolved , That we admire and approve of the
selections made by the Harrisburg Convention
for Supreme Judges—that we will vote the tick
et as it is without the loss of a man.
Resolved , That we pledge ourselves individ
ually and colleotively to support the ticket, the
whole ticket, and nothing but the tioket.
Trade with the British Provinces. —By a
Treasury Ciroolar of 12th June, 1851, the col*
lectors of the customs were instructed under the
provisions of the act of Congress of 26th Septem -
ber, 1850, to admit British vessels coining from
the ports of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia on the same footing, both as to vessels and
cargoes, as American vessels, in consequence of
the latter having been admitted on like terms with
British in the ports of those oolonies. These
privileges have since been extended to British
vessels coming from the ports of Prince Edward’s
Island, in consequenoe of a reciprocal proclama
tion by the governor of that colouy, which has
been officially communicated to the Department
of State by the British Minister.
Horrible Death on the Railroad. —The
Pottsville (Pa.)‘Emporium says that on the arrival
of a train of coal cars at Mount Carbon, during Sat
urday night, fragments of a human body were
found attached to a brake of one of the oars,
and on examination other portions of the same
.body were found strewed along the road from
"below Schuylkill Haven to the point above men
tioned, a distance of some six or eight miles.
It turned oat to be the remains of Thomas Gar
raghan, one of the'nlght'watch'al Port Clinton,
who was intoxicated that night, and who had
gone off to the cars in spite of the remonstrances
of his wife and friends.
Population.— The population of the earth
amounts to 1000 mSUjons. Then reckoning a
generation of 33 years, in that space of time a
thousand millions must die throughout the
world. Each year about 68,300,000; each week
281,000; each day 88,800; each hour .3,450;
each minute 59. Some of our fellow creatures
are at this moment departing out of the world;
and before an hour has elapsed more than 8000
souls who are yet the inhabitants of time, will
be passed into eternity.
Storm. —Torrents of rain have. foUen in the
vicinity of Norfolk, Va., since the 24th'inst.
The wind* blew with considerable violenoe du
ring the whole iff Monddy,..and in the evening
increased almost to & -perfect hurricane. The
steamer Jewess which left Norfolk for Balti
more at four o’clock on Monday, after proceed
ing as far as Hampton Roads, was compelled to
return in consequence of the gale.

It will thus be seen that my statement exhib
its exactly the State debt as presented by the
official reports, without any floating debt for re
pairs or any such thing.
It is therefore demonstrated that the following
amount of the pnblio debt was paid in the years
herei n stated;
In the year 1846 246,816 22
do 1847 160,627 49
do 1848 104,212 58
do 1849 77,063 10
do 1850 81,811 48
And it is farther demonstrated, that, practi
cally, there was a more efficient sinking fund,
before the act of the 10th qf April, 1849, was
passed, than since that period. Although ! ad
mit that there was no sinking fund, eo nomine ,
previous to that &cL
The question is not how maoh was paid during
Gov. Shank’s or Gov. Jobnston’sadministrations
for old canal or railroad debts, or old debfe for
repairs or mmilwr debts; Irfrge sums were un
doubtedly paid for those objects during their nd
ministratiops, and several preceding ones ; but
the question is, how much of the debt—acknowledg
ed-,' ascertained and reported by the several State
Treasurers—has been paid—how much m U dimin
ished /
" It is said that there is about a half a million
of dollars in the sinking fund. That fact I stat
ed in my former letter, and gave credit for the
amount. But does it follow, of course, that be
cause there is a certain sum in a sinking fund,
that the debt is paid pro tanto 9 If it is so; it is
a happy discovery. All that p necessary to be
done hereafter, will be to appropriate largely to
the siukiog fund !!
Mr. Pitt, I believe was the author of this sys
tem ; at all events he established a sinking fund,
and kept up the credit of Great Britain, when
he was, in point of fact, increasing .the public
debt every year!
I have nothing to say against the establish
ment of a sinking fond, so for from it I earnest
ly recommended it in my first report to the
legislature on the Finances of the Commonwealth.
What I object to, is, that Mr. Johnston should
claim credit for creating the revenue whioh
made it certain that we should gradually pay the
debt, when he was practising law in Armstrong
county. And further, that ho should claim to
have created all the money now in the Treasury
and Sinking Fond; and alleges that be has paid
a half a million of dollars of the public
debt I
That portion of the public debt whioh was
paid in 1846, 1847 and 1848, was the port pay
ment of the loan of the 4th May, 1841, by the
cancellation of the relief notes, the redemption
of a portion of the 6 per cent funded debt, and
payments to domestio creditors.
In answer to an inquiry on that subjeot, I
can only state that I have no means at present
of ascertaining the exact amount of State bonds
cancelled in each year embraced in my state
ment, except the year 1846. I received that
year and cancelled State bonds to the amount
of $23,883 01.
It is something new, and shows that we live
in an age of progress, for the whigs to complain
that payments were not made in gold and sti
ver. I was led to believe that they were accus
tomed to regard the notes of specie paying banks
as equivalent to the precious metals; ana yet I
am asked whether I paid the interest in gold and
stiver. To this I answer, as in nrg former let
ter, that I paid it in the notes of specie paying
banks, and a small proportion in that currency
which Gov. Johnston saddled on the Common
wealth.
In answer to another Inquiry, I state
with great pleasure, that in 1849 the Common
wealth had so far got rid of the belief notes, and
the revenue under the aot of the 29th April,
1844, was so effective (for no new revenues had
been created) that the interest was paid in the
notes of specie paying bonks, without being
obliged to resort to the ragged relief noteß.
This happy event ooourred daring the time that
Mr. Ball was State Treasurer, and I was glad to
have an opportunity of congratulating him up
on it, when he came to Philadelphia to pay the
interest
And here let me repeat what I said in my
former communication, that it is as olear as a
sunbeam that we owe all these triumphs, this
glorious reduction of the State Debt, and onr
happy deliveranoe from bankruptcy, and repu
diation to the legislature of 1844. And on the
question of the 3 mill tax, we aro indebted for
its passage to the members of both politioal
parties.
The revenue yielded by the aot last named,
being the tax on real and personal estate, for
the several years, is as follows:
In 1845, tax on real and personal property per
aot of 29th April, 1844 $1,300,751 00
In 1846 do .d0.,.,..d0 1,446,112 70
In 1847 do do do 1,380,781 19
In 1848 do do do 1,360,129 49
In 1849 do do do 1,298,921 23
In 1860 do do do 1,317,821 56
The revenues thus annually collected, in con
junction with the ordinary revenues then exist
ing, have furnished the aggregate receipts which
have enabled the commonwealth to meet &U her
accruing liabilities, and, by gradually paying
the public debt, placed her feet on solid ground.
I have deemed these remarks proper, in view
of the objections to my former statement. I
have, I think, answered these objections in a
respectful manner. My objeot is to present facts
to the public, and I shall not travel out of my
way to notice any unkind personalities.
JAMEB ROSS SNOWDEN.
Pittsburgh, Sept. 1, 1861.
Remarkable Phenomena of the Late Tor
nado. —A feet connected with the late destruc
tive tornado in Massachusetts, is mentioned in
the Traveler. The apples from the trees over
turned by the wind, have the appearanoe of fruit
that has been partially baked. They are dark
colored, and considerably softened. The whole
apple does not, in every instance, present this
appearance, it being only visible in apots on
some, while on others it is more general. There
are hundreds of bushels of apples in this con
dition, scattered along the trail of the whirlwind.
The corn-stalks, too, that are prostrated in
many instances, it is said, present the appear
ance of having been blasted, or cut and dried
for a considerable length of time. The editor
pf the traveler, who rode out to see the mis
chief, says such a scene we hope never again to
witness. It realized to us—as nothing ever be
fore did—the meaning of the expression, “sweep
it with the bosom of destruction.”
The object of the meeting having been stated
by the President, the following resolutions were
submitted by Mr. George C. K. Zahm, and upon
being read, unanimously adopted.
Whereas it is the right as well as the duty of
Freemen to assemble, dnd express their opinions
upon important occasions, and regarding as we
da the approaching election in Pennsylvania 1 as
one of the most important that has ever occurred
in our £fete, not only on account of the number
and importance of the States offices to be filled*
but the. bearing its results may have upon the
future welfare of the Union, we feel it incum
bent upon us to organize for the campaign.—
Therefore,
That we heartily respond to the*
nominations made' by the State Conventions re
cently assembled.^at Reading and Harrisburg,
and that whilst we shall yield them a cheerful
and united support, we look forward with pleas
ure to their triumphant election on the second
Tnesday of Ootober next, and the redemption of
the Keystone State from the misrule of Federal
and Abolition Whiggery.
Resolved, That in the selection of onr fellow
citizen and neighbor, Col. William Bigler, of
Clearfield, as the oandidate for Governor, we
recognize a democrat of sterling integrity, with
whose history we are familiar, and to whose
support we eon rally with cheerfulness. As the
representative of this county for six years in the
State Senate we know him well, and whose pub
11c career proves biiq to be warmly attached to
the interests of his native State, a statesman of
enlarged views, and to whose hands the helm of
State may be safely confided.
Resolved , That the bold and manly stand taken
by Col. Bigler to sustain all the compromise
measures passed by the last Congress, to give
stability to the Union, secure “ the rights of the
States, and the union of the States,” meets our
warmest approbation, and should receive'the
support of every democrat. That his course on
these questions stands oat in strong contrast with
that of Wm. F. Johnston, whose shuffling and
double-dealing so as to secure the votes of aboli
tionists and Natives, show him to be a dema
gogue, unworthy to preside over the destinies of
the Keystone State.
Resolved , That Gen. Seth Clover, of Clarion
county, is entitled to our warm support for the
office of Canal Commissioner, believing him to be
honest and capable, odd although sneered at by
our opponents as “only & common man,” we re
gard it as a part of the same tactics of those
who hare heretofore derided the qualifications of
Jefferson, Jackson and Polk.
Resolved , That we have the fullest confidence
in the learning, ability, and integrity of the
democratic nominees for the Supreme Court,
and that they merit and shall receive our united
support.
1.784,381 01
96,276 47
Resolved , That we will oppose the election of
John Strohm, the whig candidate for Canal Com
missioner, who, by his votes in Congress, refused
supplies to our suffering soldiers in Mexico,
welcoming them to “ hospitable graves,” and
ought never to be sustained by the patriotic citi
zens of Cambria.
Resolved, That we would urge upon the demo
crats of the different townships a thorough or
ganization, feeling satisfied if we do our duty we
will roll up a majority of 600 for the whole State
tioket
Resolved , That this meeting cheerfully concur
in the resolution adopted by a late County Con
vention, expressing their approbation of the
patriotic course pursued by Gen. Lewis Cass in
restoring harmony to our country by the passage
in the last Congress of the Compromise bills, and
whilst we would again cheerfully support him
in the event of his nomination for the Presiden
cy, yet the first choice df Cambria county is now
as it has heretofore been for Pennsylvania's fa
vorite son. James Buchanan.
Resolved, That in James Buchanan we pos
sess a candidate every way worthy of that exalt
ed station, —whose purity of private character,
eminent abilities and patriotism, evinced in a
long public career in the service of his country,
has even forced from our political opponents an
acknowledgment of his transcendent abilities,
and whose elevation would not only reflect credit
upon the station bat upon our State the democracy
of which have always been ready to do bat
tle in defence of republican men and mea
sures. $
Resolved , That the proceedings of this meet
ing be signed by the officers, and published In
the Sentinel, Bedford Gazette, Pennsylvanian,
Pittsburgh Post, Carlisle Volunteer, and Har
risburg Union.

The decision of the Referees in the libel suit
botween Rev. Mr. Fairchild and Rev. Dr. Adams,
of Boston, has been rendered, and is regarded
with much interest by the Congregational
Churches, as deciding some important points of
ecclesiastical polity. The Referees were men of
character and ability, whose deliberate decision
will have great weight in the action of counoiis
and churches. The suit was brought against
Dr. Adams first, for'oral slander, in on Ecclesi
astical Council his belief of the guilt of the
plaintiff in a matter for whioh he was on trial
before that body ; secondly, for libel in publish
ing, as Scribe of tho Council, the vote of the
Council, whioh excommunicated Mr. F. from the
Church for that crime. Dr. Adams pleaded his
right to express his opinion in an Ecclesiastical
body. The Referees decide that a person acting
in the discharge of any duty legal or moral, and
in good faith, is privileged in making accusations
against another without being held to prove their
truth, if made on proper occasions, and that
every Christian body has a right to use all re
quisite means for maintaining its discipline, and
to make known its decisions by publication, even
though that publication effeot the character or
standing of tne accused. Dr. Adams was there
fore acquitted on eaoh ohargo..
Moving a Pear Tree*
Z. B. Porter, Esq., proprietor of the Cam
bridge Market Hotel, has' furnished us with a
statement of a novel experiment tried by him
last week—4bat of transplanting a large pear
tree laden with fruit Tse tree is of the Le
perne variety, 18 inches in diameter a few feet
from the ground, 34 feet in height, and the dis
tance through the branches in any direction is
upwards of £0 feet The quantity of fruit now
upon the tree is estimated at two barrels.
The tree was moved a distance of 32 feet, in
the following manner:—A trenoh in the form of
a square, 12 feet on each side, was dug around
the tree, to the depth of 3J feet ; A box of
plank was built around the earth thus left adhe
ring to the roots, and, by working in planks at
the sides, a bottom was formed to the box,
whioh thus completely encased the roots of the
tree. A canal was dug from the tree to the
place to whioh it was to be moved, of sufficient
depth and width to admit of the passage of this
mass of earth, and the tree—-with the body of
more than 600 cubic feet of earth, and estima
ted by good judges to weigh 25 tons —was safely
deposited in its new location.
No roots were found in digging around or un
der the tree. The time oooupied in moving it
was 40 minutes—expense $6O. The tree stood
upon the spot selected for the location of the
Cambridge Market Bank, and was moved by
Mr. James Mellon of Cambridge, at Mr. Por
ter’s request, to preserve the tree and make
room for the erection of that building.— yew

California. —Professor Shepherd, who has
reoently explored this land of wonders, thus
writes of it: “I have now explored California
for nearly two years. I can truly say it is a
land of wonders. There are fresh flowers every,
mopth in the year, and winter now wears the
bloom of spring. I have found water-falls three
and four times os high as Niagara; natural
bridges, ofwhite marble, far surpassing in beau
ty that of Rockbridge, Virginia; some of thou
sands of gold-bearing veins, inexhaustible quan
tities of iron and chrome oreslead, bismuth and
quicksilver, most beautiful porcelain clay, and,
in short, every thing that can bless an industri
ous and enterprising people. In one valley I
found more than forty springs over one hundred
degrees Fahrenheit. In another valley sixteen
geysers, like the famous one in Iceland. In this
famous abode of Vulcan the rooks are so hot.
that con you stand upon them but a short tiipe
even with thick boots on. The silicioua rooks
are bleaohed to snowy whiteness, and breccia ted
and conglomerated rooks are now actually form
ing. The roar of geysers at times may be heard
a mile or more, and the moment is one of the
most intense interest as you approach them.
The importance of apples as food, has not
hitherto been sufficiently estimated in this
country, nor understood. Besides contributing
a large portion of sugar, mucilage, and other
nutritive matter, in the form of food, they con
tain such a fine combination of vegetable acids,
hbstractive substances, and aromatic principles
with the nutritive matter, as to act powerfully
in the capacity, of refrigerents, tonics,' antisep
tics : and, when freely used at the season of
ripeness, by rural laborers and others, they pre
vent debility, strengthen digestion, correct the
putrefective tendencies of nitrogenous food,
avert scurvy, and probably maintain and strength
en the powers of productive labor. “The -op
erators of Cornwall, in England, consider ripe
apples equal to bread, and better than potatoes.
In the year’lBol, a year of 'scarcity, apples, in
stead of being converted into cider, were sold to
the poor, and the laborers asserted that they
could stand their work on baked apples without
meat; whereas a potato diet required either
meat or fish.”
The French and Germans use apples exten
sively : indeed it iB rare that they ait down in
rural districts without them shape or
other, even at the best table. The laborers and
mechanics depend on them, to a very great ex
tent, as articles of food, and frequently dine on
sliced apples and bread. Stewed with rice, red
cabbage, carrots, or by themselves, with a little
sugar and milk, they make both a pleasant and
nutritious dish. If our friends will only pro
vide themselves with plenty of ohoice fruit, we
will venture to assert, that not one man, women
or child in fifty, would care for unlmul flesh to
eat Who donbta, for a moment, that many
scrofulous and other diseases ore traceable to a
flesh diet ? It is well known that muoh of the
meat we eat is in a diseased state when slaugh
tered, and its effect may well be imagined. Yet
our fruit is always in a healthy state, and can
not generate disease in the human body ; but it
bas a diluting, purifying and renovating tenden
cy.— Water Cure Journal.
Mr. 8. W. Jewett, of Vermont, an intelligent
writer on husbandry, has recently imported Into
this country, at a cost of $30,000, an improved
breed of French Merino Sheep. They ore pure
descendants from the government merino sheep
of Spain, the exportation of which from the
country was, at one time, death. Mr. Jewett
has made bis purchases, partly from the govern
ment flock, and partly few formers in
possession of the remainder. The French gov
ernment limit-themselves to a certain number,
and each year sell at auction the surplus; of this
opportunity, last spring, Mr. J. availed himself.
The average weigh of the imported breed iB 200
lbs. a bead; they shear from 12 to 20 lbs. each,
thus doubling and quadrupling the ordinary
amount attainable. The worth of the wool is
attested by the price brought at the late sale at
R&mbouillet, in France, where rams were dis
posed of at $4OO, and a flock of ten lambs were
estimated at $l,BOO. The enterprise of the im
porter, it is said, has met with fur success.
Democracy in Oregon. —Official returns of
the late election show the vote for congressmen
to have been for Joseph Lane 2276, Wilson 543.
The council is composed of eight democrats and
one whig, and house of twenty democrats and 2
whigs. Yet the Tribune tried to claim Lane as
having been elected by whig votes.

would be just as reasonable to expect a rich crop from
