DIFFICULTY WITH SwrrzERLAND.--The New
York correspondent of the National Intelligen-
Ger refers to the difficulty with Switzerland in
the following terms:
"l referred recently toa case in which Dir.
Fay, our Minister to Switzerland, had called
upon the Council of that Confederation for their
reason in refusing to allow an adopted citizen of
the United States TO reside at Basle, and We
have now their partial answer to the inquiry.
They say that the individual in question having
been exiled OIL account Of certain political crimes,
the Government approves the conduct OF the
police, because. "by his becoming citizen of
the United States, he has not lost his quality of
fugitive in regard to bis former fatherland, and
hence the former resolutions of the Government
still apply to him." They also say that the
acquisition Of n new citizenship is used by many
fugitives, not as an end, but merely as means
of re.entering their former position under The
protection of new government and continuing
their former intrigues. Therefore. taking this
view of the matter, The "Bundersath" has deter
mined first to inquire more particularly into the
personal qualities and relations of the obnoxious
person, and reserve its final decision for the
result Of these inquiries. In conclusion, they
observe that the American Minister having con-
fined himself solely 10 the desire to learn the
motives of the proceedings in the case, there
cannot, consequently, in the most remote man.

SOMETHING OF Corn CEop.-George w.
Wells of Mason county, KY. has twenty acre
field. of corn which promises, from what has
been gathered, yield of one hundred and eigh-
ty bushels (ears) per acre. But the funny part
of the story ia that he did not intend to make
such crop. The first planting not coming up
well or looking promising, he replanted between
the rows, and afterward, not being able TO de-
eide which rows were best or which to plow up,
as he intended TO do With the first Planting, he
let both stand; the .presen. great crop is the
result. 1t is NEEDLESS TO say that the land is
good. -.
