announced that the ancient seed Of -four, grain and
corn, which used during the time of the kings os
ancient Egypt, the Pharaohs, have been sown in the
garden Of farmer and produced several ears, which
offered new species entirely unknown to modern
agriculture. 1t appears that these grains of corn,
which have been taken out ola coffin from the Pyra-
nds offer the appearance of large ear in the CEN
ire, around which six seven smaller ears like
the branches of tree. The length Of the ear is
or fifteen centimetres, and its size the root
three or four centimetres. The leaves are bearded
and arger, we'll more rough, than those OF the
ordinary corn. Each ear contains from seventy to
ninety grains. No doubt this new will soon be
adopted all over Europe, for it produces three times
the number of grains Of the other kind of corn.
Every grain is nearly big as two Of the Others.

warm sea son. are producing much for their spec
tators, and do not pay the expenses made Tor new

At the Grand OPERA 9 Robert lie Diable'' and
LA Juive' have been produced with great easen-
be- and Guoymard, the fine tenor, has made deep
impression on his hearers. The ''Juf Errant, .
in which he also continued his triumphant career,
