Tlie parcel waa of all sorts of grados, nd he paid 25 cents a pound for it. Twenty , liousand pounds are expected from Chicago vhere, a few years ago,there was neither wool lor any thing e!se. A Michigan farmer recenly sold his first year's clip in this market for hree thousand dollars cash. The expense for raHí-portation fiom Chicago is over three [uarters of a cent a pound. Our friends of he East must enlarge their home markets as npidly as posible, or the wool of the boundless est vvill break over restraint and force itself ff lo foreign markets.

The Temple, which is destined to be the most magnificent structure in the West, is progressing rapidly and wil! probably be comjleted in the course of the present and succeeding summer. lts style of architecture is entirely original - unlike anything in the world or in the history of the world - but is at the same time chaste and elegant. It is said to be the conception of the Prophet, Gen. Smith. It s being built by the voluntary labor of the members of the church, who de vote a certain numbcr of days ot the yeor to the work. If the labor and materials were eslimated at cash prices it is supposed that the building would cost somelhing Hke a núlion of dollars .Irish Repeal. - lts objecls.

'Thirdly - The improvemenl of the condition of all occupiers of land by a well considered plan of Jlvity of tenure, which while it would secure to the landlord a moderate and adequate rent forhis land, would at the same time, insure to the tenant all ihe benefit of his own labor and expenditures in permanent imjrovements.

"The Jlshland Farmer." - Does the Advertiscr mean to be understood as saying that Mr. Clay works in the field with his slaves? Wilh those fellows that he told Mr. Mendenhall werc sleeker, bptter fed.bettercloihed and had better mnnners than the Indiana abolitionists? We g uess that "my man Charles," who never wnrks on the farm, is the on!y ono of his shves that Mr. Clay oversees. - Free Press. An Englirhmnn has invcnted an adi'itional rein for horses which is connected with a spring strap. Cy a single action of the hand, this rein is drawu so close over the nostrüls as to stop breathino-, and in this way the most restless horse is "brought to his senses." The repenl ngitation has been completely annihilafed in the Southern States, and in the North, the political hacks who spouted so energetically in its support, have been frightened into silence, and are looking out for other fish to fry. Ireland, however will before very have large accessions made to her right?, in spite of all this. Yet not exactly in the way the repealert? contémplate. - JV. Y.Herald.
