Yellowstone Journul: We have just heard of a band of sheep in this country that clipped forty-two pounds to the head last spring. Although the yield is truly phenomenal, the owner of the band made no boast of it, being of a inudeet and turasetniiiiig nature. The facts were gotten at by a coruhination of circumstances, the chiefiat of which were the owner's return of sheep to the assessor and the railread company's record of the wool shipped. The former a as, for example, Lew head, while, the latter showed a shipment of 42,000 pounds. Of course the e hole number of sheep divided into the gross clip gave the clip per head.

One of the most reinareable works of the kind constructed in in -,'tern times is the wilted:let bridge of Mainteno, erected for the purpese of conveying water from the river Eureto Versailles. It consists of the three rows of arches, one above an- other and is 21:e feet high by five -sixths of mile in length. The conduit that sup- plies Marseilles with the water of the Durance is about sixty miles in length, and one of its apueduct bridges is 262 feet high. The leueth of the conduit which brings water from Kaiserbrunn to Vienna is fifty-six and a half iiio, hot the tallest of its apueduct bridges is only about 943 feet.

This is by miles the nearest point to thee. mines and is the eatural eueply point, but it is quite certain that this trade will not remain here unless our citizens do something to (quick it. But, asks en*, 'how can that be brought about ?\ Oh, that is an easy thing to du. All that is necessary is to construct a good wagon road to each mine, and offer the miners goods at reasonable rates. Good roads is a hat is needed, for without them it is treeless to expect an increase of Lusineer. While it is true that all nierchants of Townsend are doing well, it is not a good reason why they should make no etl'ett to retain what they have or even to in- crease it.
