II is stated, that the juice Of the cornstslk,
as tested by Beaume's saccharometer, has sac
charine matter equivalent to three times that
Of the beet. five times that of the maple, and is
fully equal to that Of the ordinary sugar-cane.
BY plucking off the ears of corn as they be-
gin to form, the juice is retained in the stalk.
and the quantity of juice greatly increased
One thousand pounds of sugar. it is believed,
can be easily produced from an acre of corn.
The manufacture of this juice is said 10 be
easier than that Of cane. Surprising that there
is no mistake in these facts, it seems 10 US.
the manufacture Of sugar from corn must be a
profitable business;-Cin. Chron.

late disclosures of Mormonism by Bennett,
had the effect of shaking the faith of his foil
overs, determined to set his brain to work to
invent a scheme how to recover the lost con-
fidence of his congregation, cost what II
might. For this purpose he procured a
dove, and taught the bird to fly to him and
eat out of his ears in which he placed the
grains that served for his daily food. Hav-
ing, as he thought, sufficiently trained the
bird, he gave out that on the next Sabbath,
he would prove by a miracle that he was

assertions, he, with loud voice, called on
Heaven to send down his Holy Spirit, in the
form of dove, as it appeared lowering over
our Savior when he was baptised in the riv-
err Jordon. A dread silence prevailed-with
each eve fixed and extended arms, ne loudly
called for the appearance ofthe Holy Ghost.
Again and again he called, but still no an
