 Dltton COra.-In our perambulations through the town of Sharon last week, hunting up something wherewth to satisfy the demands of our creditors, Gin which by the bye we were tolerably successfully we called upon Gen. c. F. SEDGwIcK where our eyes were regaled with sight as it was beautiful This was no other thana crib of about hundred bus- els of as fine bright ripe yellow corn of the growth of the present year, desire to witness It was of the Dutton species, planted about the usual time of planting other corn but being of an earlier kind - pened before the severe frost in the latter part of Sep tember.

However, by cum ming manoeuvre, the desired information was obtain the messenger of Wheeler. The horse was then de- iyered, but the boat was delayed according to the previous understanding, until the Coone! could find the Sheriff, which he was not long in doing They then crossed the rver and, after detainng the horse and rider, they set in pursuit of their game, when high bluff near by. the Colonel esped his man, and he immediately took one direction and the sheriff appeared as if little suspicious that he was wanted but not enough 90 to retreat The Sheriff at length approached within speaking distance and carelessly /" Why, Wheeler, is that you ?-where have you been these three years 2-do you work round here 9' Nc" said Wheeler.
