After some local business was difpofled of,
Mr. Coit from the commiitee appointed
to prepare and report a bill for the relief of
such officers and soldiers as served -during
the war, and died between March and No
vember, 1793, made a report, which was
twice read and commiited for Monday.
On motion, the House again resolved it
{elf into a committee of the “whole, Mr.
Kittera in the chair, on the bill prescribing
the mode, of taking evidence in cases of
contested ele@ions, and after a desultory
d(;bate, and agreeing to several amendments,
the committee tofe, and reported ;the bill
with the amendments. The House took
them up, and after agréeing to them, and
making some others, the bill was re-com
mitted to the fele@ committee, who report
edat,:
The Speaker informed the House, that
he had reccived a letter which he was re
quefled to lay before the Houle ; heaccor
dingly handed it 1o the Clerk to be read.
It was from Tench Coxe, stating that ' the
President of the United States had difchar
‘ged him from his office, as Commissioner
of theé Revenue. In doing this, heallowed
he had exercised a power committed to him
by law. He had no desire of coming be
fore the House by way of complaint ; but
he wished, if any arrangement could be de
vised for the purpose, that his condu® as
Commissioner of the Revenue might under
go a review, if it could be dene, he should
at any time, be ready to enter upon the en
quiry. Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Livingston, from the committee to
whom was referred the petition of the daugh
ters of the'late Count de Grafle, made a re
port, which stated, that the sum heretofore
allowed by Congress was intended only asa
temporary ‘provifion until the events of the
‘war fhiould permit them to take pofleffion
of an estate in St. Domingo ; that the fadls
formerly slated, thewed, that the most im
portant {eryices were rendered to the Uni.
‘ted States by their father, from motives the
moft'honorable, under the greatest relpon
fibility, and ata rilk the most hazardous
that could be encountered by an -officer of
rank and reputation ; that with a recollgc
tion of these services, it would consist nei
ther with the honor nor justice of the Uni
ted States to refule an adequate provision
dor the orphan children of the man who
rendered them : The committee, therefore, |
recommended that a certain sum should be
‘granted to each of them, annnally, for their
lives. The report was twice read and com- -
mitted for Monday. . - :
- Mr. Livingston also reported a bill for
the relief of refugees from the British. pro- ;
vinces of Canada and Novalcotia, which
was twice read, and committed for Tuesday.

‘ ty of New-York.
A FEW days ago 1 saw publiflicd in the
- mews-papers of this city, an extra® from
a Jerley paper, giving an account of the
- great fecundity of the foil in the neighbor
- hood cf Elizabeth Town ; 155 bushels of
- Indian corn in the ears, had been produced
from an acre of land. This is certainly a
~great'crop ; but this falls vastly short of
- what may be gotten off an equal quantity of
~ ground. As an incitement to the {pirit of
~ emulation and ‘induftry among farmers in
the United States, I shall now lay before
them a short account of the result of two
crops of 3 acres cach, which were planted
in the neighbourhood of this city, in confe
?ucncc of a wager of 30 guineas. In pur
uance of the term of this bet, which were
reduced to writing, the ground in which
the crop flood,. belonging to each party,
was accurately measured ; and when gath
ered, each crop was measured by a person
sent by the adverse party for the express
purpose. ~ From the nature of the case, it
1s evident, that the reflults of these crops of
corn would not fail of being ascertained
with the utmost attention to accuracy, One
common mealure was made by both par
tics, and gpon shelling out the ears con
tained in this mealure, the produce of each
crop was as follows :
The produce of the crop raised by Mr.
John Stevens, of Hoboeken—Sum total of
meafares full of corn in the ear, ¢33 2-3
—A mealure full contained one bushel and
a half and one pint of shelled corn ; 233 2-3
gives consequently 354 buthels and 6 quarts,
or 118 bushels and two quarts per acre.
The produce of the crop raised by Mr.
Daniel Ludlow, of Wefichefter, is as fol
lows, Total—lßl measures of corn in the
ear.—Shelled comin a measure full, one
bushel and a half and four quarts—which in
182 gives 193 bufbels and 12 quarts, or 68
buthels 14 quarts per acre. i 1
As each of the gentlemen have in their
mode of culture deviated from the common
rotine of praftical farmers, a short account
of the process adopted by each, capnot fail
of proving ufeful & inftruftive to the mem
bers of the society, and to every American
Farmer. : : ,
I baye not had an opportunity of obtaine
ing any minutes from Mr. L. bimfelf re
dpe&ting his crop ; but am informed - that ;
he planted his corn in continaed rows at
about four feet asunder, and about eight
inches from flalk to flalk in the row ; and
that he manured his ground with 160 horse
cart loads of street dirt.- : Nio
Mr, S. informs me, that he gave bis
ground thgee plowings before planting, and
before: the‘iaﬁ. plowing put on 7006 horfe
cart loads of fireet manure—that he planted
in double rows at 5 1-2 feet asunder—that
be was at the pains- of dibbling in each
grain. To do which with expedition and
accuracy, he bored two rows of holes in a
piece of board of about 4 feet lang, so asto
form eqailateral triangles, the sides of
which were {even inchesas thus - - = &
S S Y *.= -+ Inoto thele
holes he drove pegs of about g 1-g inches
long. As the corn was dropped into these
holes, miade with this machine, 2 man fol
lowed with a basket of rotten dung, with
which he filled them up. Then came on
the carts out of which the rows were {prink
led with a coat of fireet manure.—During
the season the crop was suckered three
times. The intervals were repeatedly
plowed, and the rows lsg,ggf gerfe%}y clean
