OREGON CoRy.-Through the politenessof
our neiehbor, Mr.. Robert Bryce. we have re-
ceived a small parcel of Oregon Corn, as com.
ing from our very respected friend, Mr.. Lemuef
Glymph, of Nrwberry, who imported a barrei
of it 10 plant IA an experiment. The grain
bears some resemblance to the yellow goird-
seed. Nis longer and fuller, however. andis-
said 10 contain fourth or a third more nutri.
men, than the gourd.seed. The cob is repre-
serted to be very small, and comes to maturity

to plan tit and should it ever mature, our friend
Glymph shall hear from us again through the

DEArAu OF THE Hon. CnARLs FIsHER.-
This communityis is again called upon TO mourn
the death of one of her oldest AMI most valued
citizens The Southern mail of Sabbath even.
ing last brought the painful intelligence Of the
death of the Hon. Charles Fisher He died
ON the evening of MonGay the 7th uli., at Hills.
borough, in the county of Scott in Mississippi.
His health. as we learn, having become un.
settled under an attack Of the lungs and liver,
he had undertaken the journey to his home in
this place. Reaching Ilill>bornugh, he was
down to die those who would have rendered,
with creates, tenderness, the mournful services
which his expiring nature require; yet, such
was the excellent character of the deceased,
that we doubt not his bed was surrounded by
many warm hearts, and sklltul hands. and that
he received all that attention his situation re-
cured. In the death of Mr.. Fisher il is not only
this community which have sustained aloss;
but the State and Nation. The great interest
of these, he was not less capable ol promoting,
than he was TO them zcalously devoted. In tho
councils of the former he served long IN the
Halls of the latter ably-in both efficiently, and
with great credit. And whilst we leave to an
ADLER pen the task of pronouncing fitting eu
logy on the character of the deceased, we were
untrue to ourselves and to his memory to say
less than we have ot1sred-an b,imble testino-
ny to great worth and eminent ability. asss
