ms town the past season. lie has 4505
bushels--a tritle over 10 bushels to the acre.
For some nights previously to its being
threshed, fifteen or twenty hogs had access
to the wheat; and Mr.. r. is of the opinion
that had II not been for that, the yield would
have averaged 80 bushels per acre. The
wheat was of the bearded red chaff variety.

town Chronicle.
Too Busy To VoTE.--In many of the
towns OF our territory, the vote poed at the
recent election has been very light. Our
correspondents all give, as the reason for
the deficiency the fact that the Farmers
were too busy, sowing and threshing, TO at
tend election. This is no doubt the truth:
and we hope that our Constitution makers
will bear it in mind, next winter, when they
try their hands again, at framing our iunda-
mental law. The first week in September
is the worst season, almost, in the whole
year to hold election. 1t should be deter
red till October certainly, and perhaps till
| November.--Mil. Sentinel,
STEAMBOAT ACCIDENTS ON THE HuDsoN.
in the last 20 years among the regular
steam packets, plying between Albany and
New York on the Hudson River, there have
been but four eXplosins, and only 10 lives
lest.
HOUSES WANTED.--There is a great and
growing demand for dwelling houses in this
city, and Notwithstanding the number of
buildings, of all kinds, now going up, the
/ demand seems to increase faster than the
supply. Rents, too, are very high and
likely to be higher. Few investments would
pay better than the building of a dozen or
two comfortable two story frame, or brick
houses Mil. Sentinel.
DANGEROUS FRAUD.-Ten dollar bills
from the genuine plate Of the Bank of New
Haven, CT. but with counterfeit signatures,
are ahoat.
THE ESCAPE OF PARADEs.-From Vera
Cruz we learn that Senior Atocha met Gen
Parades after the latter landed and recogniz-
ed HIM. Parades is understood to have sig
nifed to him by a sign to keep dark" and
the handsome senior did so for the space of
ian hour or mOre-at all events until the
distinguished Mexican had passed out of
the city's gates. We have seen these facts
written from Vera Cruz by gentleman of
sense and discretion. From him we learn,
too, that Senior Atocha held situation in
! the customs at Vera Cruz, from which he
has been promptly dismissed for conniving
at the escape of Parades.
We learn, too, that Captain Clark, the
port captain at Vera Cruz.has been dismiss
ed from his post for remissness in this al
fair of Parades. We mention this and what
we have said above of Atocha on the au-
thorily of private letter from Vera Cruz
from gentleman who would not m>lead
lis and who should be vcrv well informed.
1t is his opinion that the English have had
more direct agency in the business than
the facts yet developed show n. o. Pie.
We learn verbally says the Nachitoches
Chronicle of the 18th. that Mr.. Russell, edi-
tor of the Red Lander, was killed few
days ago i'll San Augustine, Texas by Mr..
Kendall of the San Augustine Shield. A
very bitter newspaper controversy had been
going on between the parties for several
weeks and finally led to the shedding of
blood. Report says that Mr.. Kendall and
Mr., Russell fired three shots at each other
without effect, and that in a day or two af-
ter they met again, when Mr.. Russell fell
MORALLY wounded.
TALL CoRN.-We were presented the
other day with stalk of corn, which grew

houses, received from the Great West via Pitts
bnrgh few days since, to be forwarded TO Air
Lawrence of Lowell, one million of pounds OF wool
This equals five hundred tons of the feeey article
and is the largest lot received at by any
house in Philadelphia
SELLING OUT THE CoaPoRATroS-A hard la
borer, ofour city, Jacob Miller. Esq was not paid
quite as promptly by our city corporation as ho
thought right for bis work; and so he GOT Judgment
and execution. And, at the proper time, he went
te selling. The Constable had sold the Mayors
chair, and was going ahead finely, when the sale
was stopped by the payment OF the debt.
We like to see such things begin in high places,
as it is time there a great reform in our people
in relation to their appreciation of their pecuniary
ligations.-[ Chic Dem
