The latter part of March and the month of April are of vital importance cxe to sheep-raisers. Upon the results of these CA' few weeks rests mat ters that concern the rest of the entire year. 1--- The majority of sheep In the United states and Canada come from the merino breed. Tile merino sheep had their origin In Spain. The exact date when II the breed was first known is not fixed, bat 114A a Is accepted by the best authorities as bethg about 2000 years ago, springing from a cross of AfriCan rams with native ewes.

In course of time the breed had such marked characteristics that It was distinct from all others. Different provinces had different All were good, but some were than others. There Were two divisions, one called, the Transhumantes, or traveling I flocks. and the. other the Estantes.

or stationary flocks. The first were considered the hest. They were owned by kings, nobles and ech priests, and had the best picking In the land. In the winter they were sent to the Southern plains, and in the spring and summer returned to the mountains, where fresh herbage was plenty. There were approach.

lug 5,000,000 sheep In the TranshumanteS class, and for tee cpnvenience of their migrations, roads not less than 90 feet wide, as well as cdmmons for feeding, hut to be left throughout the country, In an old Spanish memoir Is an extract that Says: Tbe corps of Junadi nes (proprietors of flocks) en- loy all enormous power. and have not only engrossed all the pastures of the kingdom, but have made rultivtors anamion thew moss fertile lands. Thus they have banished the estaines, ruined agriculture and depopulated the country. I The transhumantes were in flocks of cared for by fifty shepherds, each with a dog, and all directed by a chief. Of sheep Head of Merino ram were the strains known as Escurials, GuadaJunes, Pau tars, Infantados, Nagrettl and others, ad held high for various qualities.

Some of those names are familiar at the present time to American sheep-breeders. of the Estartes, they appear to have passed away, as nothing is heard of them. The Spanish sheep reached the highest excellence at the beginning or the present century, but the best flocks were soon after so decimated and neglected on account ot war that the value decidedly deteriorated. In fact, a New England breeder of merinos, who went to Spain late as 1851, wrote home that he could not end anything worth paying freight on to America, and he doubted if there were any there of pure blood. But In France there were some pure-blooded merinos that had been carefully and 3udiciously bred.

Lessithan a century ago the sheep Of the 'United States came from English breeds that were mixed and Intermixed, and were knOwn as "natives." They bad not bad much care, roughing it in winter In the shelter of fodder Stacks, and finding their summer fare In stray corners and poor pastures. In consequence they became hardy, and from running loose so much were as wild as deer. To herd a ffoCit for Shearing was half a day'S work for the whole family with the neighbors Called In. The wool was coarse, thin and short, and was usually worked up by hand-cards and family looms. As the country became settled, however, the cocks grew, and wool raising for the market became an Important Industry.

Then the merino blood crept in, and slowly the good effect of the cross could be seen. About 1810 a breed called "Smith's Island" sheep attracted considei'able attention. The Island on which they nourished Is off the coast of Virginia. The origin of the breed was never determined, but there are records speaking highly of the sheep, even calling them superior to the Spanish. Other writings say the wool is not as tine nor as soft as the merino.

At about this time the "Arlington" breed, now unheard of, were also In favor as long-wooled sheep. They were a cross between a Persian ram and Bakewell ewes, the originals being Imported, It is ciaimed, by Washington. The first importation of merino sheep on record is that of Wm. Foster, of Boston, In 1793. Ile brought over three from Spain and presented them to a friend.

who had them killed for mutton. in ISO' four ram lambs were sent over to this country from France. Leo Ling Over the Rams. Three died on the passage, but the survivor founded some good grade flocks later on in Delaware. The records refer to him as of fine forizi, weighing 138 pounds.

with a fleece of Ea, pounds. We form of those days was far below what is called so by breeders of to-say, and the wool was nardly more than one- quarter of many now clipped. In 1S02 Mr. Livingston, who wag th.e United States Minister. to France, sent home two pairs of merinos from the French Govern, ment flocks at Chalons, and soon after a ram from the Rambouillet flocks.

There Is handed down from the records taken in 1810 the effect of the cross with the common sheep. The average weight of the native fleece was 3 pounds 10 ounces; of the half-breed merino, 5 pound 1 ounce. In this same year Col. Humphreys, the United States Minister to Spain. sent over a selection from the infantado hock of twenty-one rams and seventy ewes; and Mr.

Jarvis, Alnerican Consul at Lisbon. bought nearly 4000 sheep of flocks confiscated from Spanish noblemen, that were sent to different American ports. Many Others began to awaken at this time to the value of the merino, and thousands of sheep were Imported- In 1609 an.d 1ts10 half-blood merino wool brought 75c a pound and full-blood $2. During the war of 1612 the latter was held at $2.50 a pound. 5Ierin3 ram lambs of American birth were sold at fancy prices during this year, some realizing $1e00 each.

The fever ran high for several years. but there was a rapid decline after the Peace of Ghent, and history tells of full-blooded sheep selling for $1 each. The-price of wool continued very low till 1624, and by that time the merino blood had grown poor from careless breeding. The enactment of a tariff encouraging the production of line wool then gave wool-raising a revival of Interest, Out It unfortunately led to the Introduction of the Saxon merino. The wool got by this breeding was superior, but the sheep were sacrificed for the fineness of the fleece.

the animal becoming small and weak, not weighing what the merino had and the fleece also of light weight, although 'line. The wool was short, besides, and the cross began to work a real Injury. But hot for nearly twenty years did the Saxon merino go entirely Out Of favor, when the Spanish merino came to the front again. Vermont now took to wool growing as a leading Industry. There were but few farmers who Old not have a flock, some numbering thousands, and the hills and valleys were I 1, i it.

The slave-hunters had left the Marshal, and 1 the warrant behind them when they went up to Oberlin, and they had been clearly guilty or kidnaping.

When he came to look Into the statues of the State he saw at once that, with the public sentiment then lent. the cases would stick and his clients were on the road to the Penitentiary. "Stanton was not long In informing WS clients that the best thing they could do was to make some arrangement to escape from their dilemma.

They hastened to send an emissary to the Cleveland Jail to ask on what terms we would consent to let them oir from the charge of kidnaping. We replied that we were not compromising With crime, and told their representative that his business was With the Attorney at f.lyria. The District Attorney had previously been posted as to the part he was to play. hen the slave-hunters appealed to him to know what could be done to save them from the Ohio Penitentiary, be told them that the only terms on which he would let them go were a none for each of the thirt3r.seven federal prisoners at Cleveland, and a promise never to come to North, ern Ohio again to hunt runaway slaves.

no easy job to catch the sheep as they should be caught, never taking hold of the wool, but putting the left arm underneath and grasping one bind leg wit the right band. To the boys fell the task of picking up 1 the stray locks, sorting out the dirty parts and sweeping the floors. There are no shearings now entered Into with such hearty enjoyment, although at the annual spring shearing at Caldwell. Wis. that lasts several days.

con- cluding with a 43ancluet and ball, something of the old spirit is manifested. shearing-time brought the wool-buyers, who scoured the country- and made bargains with the farmers. Small lots were taken In bulk to a central point and there packed for shipment. while the large clips were sacked on the owner's premises. The usual way was to hang the sack a hole of its own size and tread the wool down fleece by fleece until the sack was fun.

"Tag locks and pulled fragments were worked up at home and in small local factories for farmers' use. The men all wore "Vermont gray" then for outside clothing, and many a prosperous Western business man of the present will remember that he thought It good enough for a prince's wear when he was a boys The Green Mountain State became so famous as a wool-procincing section that English cutlers stamped their fine shears "True Vermonters." But the State did not remain at standstill with her reputation. Intelligent breeders devoted their efforts to Improving their flocks, and enally the size of sheep was notably Increased. they became More robust and the wool grew thicker and longer. The "merino fever" again began to rage.

Extravagant prices were paid for sheep, and to possess a flock or full bloods was the ciream of many a farmer's life. Growers began to go to the opposite extreme of the Saxon craze, sacrincing quality to quantity. The result was that Vermont wool lost Its good name, and came to be regarded as having more dirt and grease than virtue, and being too coarse for desirable uses. So the tide went out again. prices fell and Sneep farming seemed about dead.

But a few fine necks were kept up, and ilaally Western breeders Frightened1Sherp; began to look to Vermont for blood to keep up the starKlard. Buyers even visited the little New England State from Australia for rams, and the born-coroneted dons of the changed hands at prices once more seeming fabulous.

I Here was published the old Anti- Slavery Buete, whose motto was, "A Union with Slave-holders is a Compact with Ilene" and here also was held annually what was known as the Anti-Slavery Fair, the object of which was to raise money. to forward the anti-slavery cause. Tile town was originally settled by Quakers, and at the time I speak of was intensely abolition in sentiment, many of the most prosperoua citizens of the town and Surrounding country being members of the denomination known as Quakers. The old gentleman referred to by Mr.

Hunter as luterceding for EdWin Copplc wits "Uncle" Joshua Coppic, Edwin's Uncle, a I Quaker, and a well-to-do farmer living within a mile or two of Salem, and who was well known to the writer. The negro Green and Edwin Coppic at one time lived nesol Salem, but at the time of the id the latter balled from Iowa. I Bit. Hunter says that the body of Cop le was sent to Iowa, but this is a mistake, las Uncle Joshua brought the body direct to Salem and placed It in a side room of Our drug store, where it was kept three days awaiting preparations for a grand demonstration arid funeral. The body at night was watched by an armed guard, as it was ru.

mored that a party of men (which at a later day were known as copperheads) from New Lisbon, our county seat, intended to snake an effort te steal the body for the purpose of preventing the funeral. The night watch or guard "sat up" In the main room of the drug store the corpse being in an adjoining room, and the novelty of the occasion Induced the 1 writer to stay with them each night.
