SOMETHING OF Corn CRoP,-George w.
Wells ofMason county, KY, has twenty
acre field of corn which promises, from what
has been gathered, yield of one hundred and
eighty bushels (ears) per acre. But the funny
part of the story is that he did not intend to
make such crop. The first planting not COM
ing up we'll or looking promising, he replanted
between the rows, and afterward, not beingable
to decide which rows we re best or which to
plow up as he intended to do with the first
planting, he let both stand; the present great
cropis the result. 1t is needless to say that
the land is good.

Republican Editorial Convention.


The Fort Wayne Times takes the liberty
Of calling convention of the Republican edi-
tors of this State at indianapolis, Tuesday,
Dec. 18th. The Times appears to be self
constituted committee of guardianship over
Republican. editors. 1t no doubt means well
Althoughit appears to assume considerably. 1t
takes it for granted that all the Republican
editors in the State are in favor of its PROPOSE
ton for an editorial convention. Almost every
response we have seen, comedies with the views
to which we gave utterance, that while such
convention might be very proper, yet it were
better not to hold the Convention at SO early a
day. 1t might be preferable to hold it after
the adjournment of Congress, if at all. The
Times appears to think differently.
Perhaps, however, we have no right to con-
slider ourself included in a call to Republican
editors We were almost the only american
editor in the State of Indiana, who at the ad-
journment of the Philadelphia National Con-
vention, assumed with it an opposition to the
further agitation Of the slavery question We
considered that the slavery question should
not be permitted to interfere with the unity of
new party which was progressing with giant
strides, and which had National principles Of
its own paramount in importance to all sec
tional issues. At the same time, we pointed
to our past energetic labors with the Republi-
EN- party, and emphatically declared we were
o. strongly now as we were last year, opposed
to the Nebraska swindle, and to the Northern
doughaces who fixed it upon the country
Our views were the views of the American
party in this District as afterwards expressed
by their Delegate in a minority report before
the American State Convention of Indiana
1t remains for time to determine how far oul
sympathies may be extended to the Republi-
can party in this State. We hope, however
to see the American and Republican parties
acting together next year-for together they
are invincible in this State-separated, the Old
Line Democratic party, to whose foul spoils
principles we are both bitterly opposed, must
triumph.
We cannot act with convention of Repubii-
can editors to meet next month, to lay down
line of answering policy for next years ac-
tion-and we believe those who do bind them
selves to certain course, although they mus
next year fight for a particular code of princi-
pies, will find the policy of the fight somewhat
changed by the issues of next Congress. But
that is matter with themselves. We car
only wish them very happy time, being vel
assured of the fact, that no more intelligent
and patriotic body of men ever convennd al
the capitol. than will be present at thi.
Convention.

The New City Of Superior.

A correspondent of the Cleveland Express
writing from Ontonagon. makes some curious
statements relative to the present and pros
pective speculations at Superior City. Accord
Ing to this writer, this new settlement is a
scheme of numerous persons connected with
the National Administration, President Pierce
among them:
"The unexampled and magic-like growth OF
st. Paul in population and prosperity, suggest
ed the means, and men were sent to Fon du
Lac. Lake Superior, to make pre-emption
claims; company composed of thirteen mem
bers OF Congress, one member of the Cabinet
one Presidents private Secretary, one editor
OF the Washington Union. one President. one
president banker, and sundry outsiders have
been organized.
prescriptions were made for six thousand
acres of land at Fon du Lac, and thanks to the
administration influence, patents were almost
Immediately obtained, although thousands OF
other prescriptions made long before are vet
unattended to-"
This story that the President, or any member
OF the Cabinet, or the Presidents Private Sec.
rotary, or any editor of the Washington Union,
owns any interest in the new city of Superior
has run long enough be met with a fiat denial
Inc Union of late date gives the statement
such denial, and in manner that de6es con
tradiction.
Ihat injustice, and gross injustice, has beer
done to legitimate claimants at SUPERIOR. VIC
do not pretend to doubt or deny, but it wa.
not because any prominent member of the adj
mlnlstration was interested in the property.

Execution at Rock Island.

Rock ISLAND, July IL.
David Stcddard the murderer Of his wife.
was taken to the scaffold erected on the COM
mon south of this city to-day, at about IL
o'clock.
Appropriate and affecting addresses were
made. Stoddard spoke at some length, ac-
knowledging the murder for which he was about
to suffer, and warned those III his hearing to
beware of the wrath 10 come. and averring that
strong drink was the leading cause OF the muir
der.
At half past one the drop fell. After har G.
ing twenty-five minutes he was pronounced
dead. About 5000 persons witnessed the exc
cutiOn.
