will, a run account of all tbe incidents con.
nected therewith, is fresh in tbe minds of all.
As cemparison, tbe following simple inci
dents connected wilh the innDi.rti r
previous I'r sidents, will no doubt be read
with interest at this time :
Washington was inaugurated on the 3fltb
of April, 1789. at New York, in the City
Hall, then culled Federal 11. II, in Wall street
The oalb was adnioistered by Cbaacellor
Livingston, upon an open gallery adjoining
tbe Senate Chamber, this place having been
selected to gratify tbe public corioaty. His
inaugural tpeecb, however, wet delivered in
lb Senate Chamber. A vast concourse of
people witnessed tbe ceremony of taking tbe

nations. Tbe inaugural address was replied
to, on tbe part of tbe Senate by John Adams,

Was a very touching scene, and quite of tbe
solemn kind. Washington's aspect, grave
almost to sadness ; his modesty, actually
shaking; his voice, deep, a little tremulous,
and so low as to cull lor close attention ;
added to the series of objects prenetiled to
the mind, and overwhelming it, produced
emotions of tho moist nflTectitig kiod. It
seemed to me an allegory, in which Virtue
was personified, and addressing those whom
she would make ber votaries."

Artemus Ward on tho Shakers. j
The Shakers is the strangest religiuus sex
1 ever met. I'dheurn tell of 'em and I'd !
seen 'em, with their broad brim'd huts and j
long waslid coats; but I'd never cum intu
iuiiuejit contack wilh 'em, uud I'd sot 'em :
dowu as lackin intellerk, as I'd never seen 1
'em to my Show lea.iwaya if they cum lliey
wus disguised iu while peple's cloec, so 1
didn't know 'em.
But in the Spring of Id , I gut swamped
in ihet-xterior of New York Stale, one dark
and stormy night, when the winds Blue pity- I
usly, and 1 was forced tu tie up with the
Shakers.
I wus toilin throngb the mad, when in the
dim visler of the future 1 obsaived tbe gleams
of a tallr caudle. Tieiu a huroel'i nest lo
my boss's tail to kiuder eucour-ige him, 1 soon
reached the place. 1 knockt at Ihe door,
which il was opened unlu me by u tall, slick
faced, solum looking individooal, wbo turn'd
out to be a hlder.
"Mister Shaker," sed I, "you see before
you a Bube in the Woods, so lo speak, aud
he axes shelter of you."
" Yay," sed tbe Shaker, and be led the way
into the bouse, another Shaker beiu sent 10
pul my bosses and waggio uuder kiv?r.
A solum female, looking somewhat like a
last year's bean pole stuck into a long meat
bag, cum in aod axed me was I alhuiat and
did I buDgerT to wbicb I urbanely auserd "a

"Elder, 1 spect ?" sed I.
"Y'ey," be sed.
"Ileith's good, I reckon ? '
"Yay."
"What's the wages of a Elder, when he
understands his biziuess or do you devule
your services grulooitus ?"
"Yay."
"Stormy bight sir."
"Yay."
"II ihe storm contisners there'll be a mess

"Yay."
"It's unpleaeaut when there's a mess under

Yay."
"If I may be so bold, kiod sir, what's the
price of that pecooler kind of weskit you wear
lucludiii triuiuiius 1"
"Yay J"
I pawed a minit, and then thinkin I'd be
faseauea with, him aud see bow that would go,
1 slept b i in on the shoulder, but into a harly
larf, aud told bim thai as a yaytr he bad uu

He juiupt np if Biliu water had bin squirt

turds the sealin and sed : "Y'ou're a mau of

Jest then tbo female in the meal bag stock
ber lied Into tbe room aud slated that refresh
menu awaited the weary traveler, and 1 sed
if it was vittlesshe maul, tbe weary traveler
was agreeable, aud 1 folluered ber iuto ihe

1 sol down to tbe table and the female in

1 bleeve, aiarm 1"
"Yay."
"The sexes live strictly apart, I spect ?"
"Yay."
'It's kinder singler,"ses I putting on my

"Us poor wimio folks would git along

"You'll excoos me, marin, but I don't

"I'm afraid of meo 1" she sad.
"Tbal'e anieceiiiry, marm, Yoo ain't iu

Tbe Shakers axed me lo go to their
I meetin, as they was to hav services that
j mornin, so 1 put on a clean biled rag and

. smooth as glass. The Shakers was all on
baud, in clean weskit and meal bags, ranged
on the flour like miliingtery companies, the
mails on one side of tbe room and the femsles
on tolher. They commenst clappio Ibeir

him with a upprovin smile and sed : "Uuod

"You're a mau of sio !" be sed, conlinnerin

TheSperret, as they called it, then moved
a ehcrl fat "ihuker to say a few remarks.
He sed tbey wus Shakers and all was ekul.
They wus the purest and seleckest peple on

Tbe Shakers then dauced and sung agin,

what I thawt of it.

Growing Fine Wool.
Mtxcy, Pa., March Mb, 1661.
Mr. Editor In yoar paper ef tbe 23J
ult. is au article, the teudeticy of which is
against the inteiest of tbe farmer to raise fine
sheep. That there is a difference as to what
would be called hiijh feeding and fat Bbeep,
I urn aware. Among lurmers generally tbey
are thin, except where fed Tor the city mar
kets. The stuck or this country, generally,
is not fed grain at all. The doctrine ad
vanced is a new oue, ib.tdt sheep will have
coarser wool thun those iu good store tuder,
JiC If such he the Tuct, tb-n oor r..ctory
men aud those who shear end those who rai,-e
the Ai. ep must be greatly mistaken. The
wuol is ulu.-ays more lively and tbe fleece
mu':b thicker, lunger aud heavier on a fut
welher than on a tbia oDe, still mucA icorte
on a poor oue. That thero i. a I, til- a
or having breeding ewes too fat, I admit,
particularly in li e Uniting seasou ; all tba
rest of Ihn flock, wtlhert and old ewes, caouot
be too fat. The lambs giow mure rupidlv,
the milk being stronger and richer, and
instead of being worth SI to 1 50, will
readily bring 2 5u t0 fcd in the fall, and
yearling welhers, otter the wool is off, worth
from J to SI. Compare other farming with
this same theory. lie t0 inoll, that the
richer wheat, oats or grass laml iu tha ...,..
tnfter and heavier the crop. Is it ool so, too,'
wuri oteer stock t lixamioe Ihe colts and
cattle ufa farmer that is a good farmer, and
see bow fiue and silky they handle, compured
with those not fed any grain. By tbe pre
seut system of feeding store sheep, the flock
do not average muck over three pounds of
washed wool to the clip, aud nearly one half
of the lambs are lost but by good feeding
be will have Gve or six pounds to tbe fleece,
aud raise nearly all the Iambs.
1 do not mean ibis weight of wool from
Menucs; with Ihem 1 never Could averagu
uiucu aouve lour pounds. I have abaodoued
them altogahtr. Mutton and woul bath con
udered, tue South Ujwu and Bluikwells are
more protitaoie (tbe rurrner of these I bave
direct from the importation of Fr.uk Rutcb
aud Samuel Thorne, from England) Much

sheep lo make ihem nn.Ht.hL. hut. -i...u
be fed a little grain, a ball a bushel of cum
aud oats, daily, to every flock of fifty sheep,
will answer, a bushel would be belter from
the first of November tu the middle of May,
When one or two bushels of rutabagas daily ;
if more roots, less grum and Lay will bo
required. Tboy must never be allowed lo be
out in the raiu in winter, but always shut in
when storming tbe old adage to tbe cue
trary, ootwittu.aoding. "No mailer how cold
and wet wool is, it's always warm anddry "
A sheep, in tbe middle of winter, is three
days in geiung wet through tbe fleece, and
nearer fve iu drying and freezing. Is it
reasonable, then, to expect success wilh sheep
if treated in this bruial manner? If the
reader doubts lha elowuess of their wetting
and drying, let him examine, daily, for him
self, and he w.ll he thoroughly satisfied.
When 6rst jhorn tbey will run in the sheds,
uot so when the fleece is more than half
grown.
W bat bus been done by others, can be done
again. 1 fiud by reference to my "Time
Book," that from 34 sheep, many of.tbeui
cullitigs, tuo old, aud not worth keeping, we
sold oo the 13th of April, 1860, '260 pounds
of woul, at -10 cents per pounJ $"''. aud tbe
sheeo lo a drover l.,r I.Y Kr,,m ih. h-l.
auce of our flocks we had O'Jj pounds of wool ;
narj o lambs, raised tb ol Item one of the
lambs lost was killed ibe other two died
from unavoidable causes.
We have had 23 lambs this spring, from 20
owes, 22 of which are living aud duing well.
Eweg sbuulj uci.tr be allowed to have lambs
before Iwo years old.
Last spring 1 bought a small flock of 36
sh.-ep aud 6 lambs; they said "there was uo
profit in sheep, that Ihe lambs were" so bard
to raise, they lost 4 or 5 to one raisud."
Exposure, starving, aud no gain, 1 say, was
Ibe reasou of Ihe loss. At the same time,
from the above il is evident, that sheep well
led aud attended Id, you can r.i.e uearly all
the lambs. Il is also self-evident that iu
favorable .iljalici Ibev are lha most nr.,.
