A correspondent in Elkhart county, Indi-
ana, writes to the Philadelphia Sun, that he
and his neighbors planted an unusual guam
tity of potatoes this season, the result OF
which is that they DO not know what to do
with their heavy crops They are selling
there nomnally for fifteen cents per bushel
but they have no markets sufficient TO take
up one half the crop.
In regard to the Connecticut election, we
learn that in the 1853 towns heard from the
vote has resulted by a'large majority in fa-
vor of the KnowNothing proposition to
amend the constitution by requiring electors
hereafter to be able to read the constitution
and statutes. One hundred and twenty three
towns give an aggregate of Is, ,097 in favor to
lO,39I against. There are only l53 towns
in the State.

= One of the curiosities of Paris is the enor-
nous vine which ornaments the court Of the
house in the Rue des Maraisr st Gernainc
1t is said to have been planted by Racine,
and supposing that he did it in the last year
of his life, the vine must be now about 159
years of age, as that celebrated writer died
in 1899. 1t is this year in fourishing con-
dition, and covered with fruit.
The Lafayette Qa.) Courier says that con-
tracts have already been made for large
amounts Of corn to be delivered during the
winter, and previous to the opening OF the
canal in the spring, at taCenty cents bushct.

CURIOUS EFFECTS OF A BoMBARDMENT.-A
private letter, giving an account OF the re-
cent bombardment of Sweaborg, says that
the men employed on the gun, boats had, as
is usual their ears padded with cotton, and
few cases of deafness are reported, but all
employed experienced severe pain in the
chest, and in two days some of the men had
not recovered their voices. The mortar boats
threw 1000 tuns of shells

THE LATE CONVENTION ON KANSAS AFFAIRS
AT LEXINGTON, MIssoURI.--The address to
the people of the United States. from the
committee of the late convention at Lex
ington, Missouri, has been published. 1t is
quite lengthy, and is principally devoted to
a denuncation Of the emigration from Mass
achusetts and other states, under the man
agement of aid societies. whereby the Kan
sas. Nebraska law is rendered dead letter.
Such emigration is pronounced without pre-
cedent, dangerous in the extreme, calculated
TO circumscribe slavery to its present limits,
and defeat the true intent of the Nebraska
bill In conclusion, it declares that Missouri
takes the same position as the Lexington
convention, whence it will not recede. The
rejection of Kansas as slave state will be
regarded as gross insult to the SOUTH and
the declaration that slavery is Incompatible
with republican form of government, an
unequivocal step towards the dissolution OF
the Union The address is signed by J. A.
Napton, late supreme Judge; Sterling Price,
The present governor of Missouri; Mordecai
Oliver member of congress; and j.. Nj.
Woodson, ii prominent lawyer. Ex-Gov.
Austin A. King refused to sign it, for some
unknown reason.

YELLOW FEVER IN NORFOLK AND PoRTs-
MoUTH-The fever very sensibly abated in
both these places during the first week in
October, the deaths not exceeding five or SIX
per day, and the new cases but few. The
mortality has been terrible indeed. The vice
president of the Howard Association states
the number of deaths in Norfolk, during the
epidemic, at $500, and thinks the whole
number of deaths in Portsmouth and Cos
port amount to 900 The principal un-
llertaker in Portsmouth has buried over 760
persons. Before the fever, the first ward in
Norfolk contained 1000 inhabitants. Those
who could leave did so. A census taken on
the lst, showed that only 56S remained ont
of the 900, and Of that remnant only loO
have capped the fever. Human science and
skill were completely baffled by the destroyer,
and of the brave physicians who strove to ar
rest the progress of the fever, twenty two have
died Mrs Ferguson, wife of the late Pres
ident of the Howard Association, died on
the lst.

AMERICANS IN THE HOLY LAND.-About two
years ago (says the Philadelphia Daily SUM-
eight American Christians conceived and car
ried out the novel idea of planting an Ameri-
can colony in the Holy Land. They first To-
Gated near Jerusalem, but subsequently remov-
ed to place near Joppa, in the Plains Of Sha-
ron. Here they devoted themselves to the arts
of agriculture, and to the cultivation OFFEND
ly intercourse with the Arabs procured agri-
cultural implements, and now in their letters
home give the most glowing and attractive de-
scriptions of the fertility of the soil. They are
able to raise three crops in the year-two in
summer, by means of irrigation, and one in
winter, when they have the aid of the winter
rains. The crops grow luxuriantly, and yield
more abundantly than in the United States {;
and nearly every kind Of vegetable, fruit or
grain raised in this country, can be produced
in Palestine.

AN ANTEDILUvIAN MoNsTER.-In Marion Coun.
ty. Illinois, short time since, some men who
were digging deep pit, found at depth of six
feet from the surface, the partially decayed
skeleton of some wondrous beast, who had
walked the earth with mighty strides long be-
fore the advent of the human race. Among
the remains was a horn, nine feet in length,
and quite smooth, with the exception of about
three feet at the butt end, which was surround
ed with ridges similar to those of sheep. The
horn was two feet in circumference at the larg-
est part. A tooth was found which was five
inches in length and two inches in diameter,
having the appearance of a first jaw tooth. A
piece of bone, eleven feet in length, was also
found which was thought to have been a por-
ton of the jaw.

FIVE New WESTERN STATES Some atten
ton has been attracted by lecture delivered
by Col Benton at Baltimore, on the Physical
Geography of the country between Missouri
and California, with a view to show its adapta
ton to settlement and the construction of the
proposed great Pacific Railroad. Col. Benton
as we learn from the N. Y. Evening post. sets
out by showing that the country between Mis-.
scarf and California, in the latitude. or nearly
the latitude Of Maryland, is we'll adapted to
settlement and cultivation, and capable OF
forming five great States.
He takes for the first State the eastern mart
of the terretory Of Kansas. The second State
would be formed of the western half of Kansas.
in which lies the valley of the upper Arkansas.
These two States will each have territory OF
fly thousand square miles, and according to
Mr.. Benton they will probably be ready for
admission into the Union within ;the next two
years.
For the third State, Mr. Benton takes Sec
ton of the Rocky Mountains from the 37th de-
gree of north latitude to the 4lst, making an
area of sixty thousand square miles For the
fourth State he takes the valley of the Upper
Colorado this region forms part of the ter
ritory of Utah, and the process eff settling it
with white Inhabitants is already begun
The fifth State comprises the remainder of Ut
ali.
Col. Benton, having established his PROPOSE
ton, then maintained that the country sis per-
fectly adapted to the construction of q railroad
and OF all sorts Of roads traversable In all sea-
soDs."-B0ston Irav.
