Of the eight aud twelve rowed varieties,

and is now grown eight. ten and twelve
rows of kernels upon the cobs, which

Tn conclusion, gentlemen, permit ne to

this crop for the last twenty-five years, |
cannot resist the conviction that with our

hundred bushels to the acre can possibly
be obtained. There is 10 better soil for
the production Of this valuable grain than
the alluvial bottom lands bordering upon
the Connecticut River, and yet when

hundred bushels TO the acre. This is a

sented applying for an injunction to re-
strain the Wheeling Bridge Company from
constructing the bridge over the Ohio riy-

alleging that it is the intention of the Com.
pany to use the two suspended cables, lef
by the storm, to construct new bridge a
the same height, and also alleging that the
navigation of the Ohio river would be
greatly obstructed thereby.
The bill was accompanied by affidavit.
setting forth these facts, and from its tenol
seems to be bill to execute the former de

to stay the construction of the bridge il
the meantime. The injunction acas grant

A Century of Russian Emperorg,

Such list as the following cannot be
prepared from the annals of any Euro
pean kingdom. and scarcely from an
Asiatic monarchy. Russia has been very
aptly described as an absolute monarchy
tempered by regicide:
1918. Alexis, son and heir of Peter
the Great. put to death by order of his
own father.
1880. Peter H., son of Alexis, sdied
suddenly, deposed and murdered;' with
him ended the male branch OF the house
of Romanof
l740. Ivan Antonovitch, an infant
| succeeded his aunt Anna in 174O. In q
year he was deposed by his cousin, the
Empress Elizabeth, who confined him
in various prisons. In l746 he was pri
vately put to death by Catharine H. during
an insurrection.
1862. Peter III. murdered by his wife
Catharine II.
1904. Paul, her son, murdered by g
conspiracy of his mobiles.
1925. Alexander. supposed TO have
been made away with by the conspiracy
which broke out on his death; later dis
coveries, from Russian sources however
throw doubts on this rumor.

sell readily at Norfolk at $4 per barrel,
and command handsome profit in the

says that Mr.. Munden raised from twenty.
five bushels of Irish potatoes, for which
he gave $1 so bushel, crop which sold
for $8o6. After paying all expenses, the
