Within a few ;' weeks past we hava had

improvements astonished usV They are

' We " regret the tone! of despondency
which pervades somanytbf our exchanges

Some are reducing their Sock, and others
are -selling, out entirely. A few, and
we think, (they, are the : wise . ones, are
taking, advantage of ; the low -price of
sheep to; increase their.. flocks, and be
ready for the rise which ;they think- is
sure to come., The temporary - depres
sion in the wool market should not lead
flock masters to abandon their plans, and
change their stock; if favorably situated
for sheep husabndry, hey should hold on
patiently, and wait for better times."
. .Notwithstanding the discouraging feat
ure in avooI growing at present, we are
far from losing confidence in it. W'e
differ with many sheep raisers, however,
as to the breed to be used. Experience
and observation both, warrant-the opin
ion that Long Wools are the most profit,
able in the Iccg run Cois wolds, Lei'ces-

long wools never . bring .as high prices as

opinion, far exceeds - in all. respects the
claims of. Short Wools.

Hog Cholera -Tab - as a Ccre.
Tar. has frequently been recommended
as a cufe for hog .'cholera,' which name
is probably given to 'two or more distinct

Between the Eastern and China Sea is
the jsland of Formosa, whicn is over two
hundred miles in length, and some sixty
in breadth.',It is. at present inhabited by
two distinct races Chinese and Indians
the former occupying the northern and
western coast, and the latter the southern
and eastern. These two races are separat
ed by a' range cf mountains running
lengthwise of the island, and ths two di
visions are as different as the people the
lands of.the Chinese being low, undulat
ing, and arable,-and those of the Indians
rugged, mountainous, and in some degree
sterile. The Chinese " are diminutive,
timid, and . industrious ; the Indians
athletic, fiery, and warlike.: The former
live by their herd, tillage, and peaceful
arts; the Jatter by robbing, plundering,
capturing and making slaves of their
more honest neighbors. A state cf con'.
slant hostility exists between the -two
nations. The Indians cross the mountains,
in formidable Lands, swoop down upon
the Chinese, pillage and burn houses
carry offtheir grass, drive of! their herd,
and make prisoners of as many, men.
woman, and, children as they can lay
their hands on. These human captives
serve the red men in a double capacity
first as slaves, and secondly as food; for
the Indians are cannibals, and often feast
on human flesh.. ;

came upon a tew enmese. latorers, at

and in a few minutes the whole towu".
was in a state of the wildest alarm,
horns blowing, tom-toms beating, and,
men, woman, and children running to

ped to let the excitement calm down, and
ware soon cautiously approached Ly- a

rows, spear3, match-Jocks, and knives.1
As they uarily drew near U3, we held up

red men of whom we hvi heard such ter ,
rible accounts.

bodies. Their skins were a bright copper
color, their hair Hack and lcmg, sweep- .
mg auwn in large masses around their
necks and shoulders. Their features I
did not like, the general expression being
too tierce and sensual. Their fnreheaJ
were narrow, their eyes black and snaky
their cheek-bones high ool sharp, thfir .
noses:large and arched, and ,theic
mouths and jaws hugh. and massive.'
