GuANo on THE FL )RInAi COAST. The Key
of the Gulf says: Several gentleman who
have been engaged during the greater part
of the present year in scientific and careful
examination of the Florida coasts and KEYS
with the view of discovering suano and kind
rcd fcrtlizing agents, have recently returned
north, prepared, as we learn, to remove large
quantities of the former to northern ATTITUDES.
Though the character of our climate prccludcs
the presumption that ammonia, so largely
pervadng the Ichabo and I.olos guano, can
be found to a valuable extent, minglnS with
the fcrtilzng agents of Our islands, we know
that the deposits of birds and the phosphate
of lime, in other forms, abound upon nearly
all the keys between the outer chain and the
main land"

the waist by a broad belt or band which also
Oswcrs the purpose Of a sword belt; a loose
open robe which falls nearly to the knees,
open in front and with large flowing sleeves
generally of black or dark color,d Grape
On the arms and back of it are embroidered
in white the wcarer's coat of arms. These
marks of hereditary rank, birth. ect., are
even in Japan, considered of such Importance
that books of hcraldy are published in which
all known distinctions are figured. Each
gentleman wears two Swords--one long, for
the service of the emperor; the other, IA short
one, to commit suicide when, by his acts, he
incurs the displcaSure of his sovereign. The
swords arc beautifully olnamentcd, having a
high polish, and are Of a temper uncqualcd
The sheath is Of wood beautifully lacqucrcd
The dress of a japanese lady consists Of
long, loose robe folded over the breast, and
an under pcttcoat, quite short, both fastened
round the waist by Il band tied in a square
knot behind. The hair is dressed very pref
ty and neat, and the bit Of rcd Grape with
winch it is ted is the only ornament used.
Neither of the sexes wear any ornaments
In this respect therefore, they bctray less of
the barbarian taste than many of the refined
inhabitants Of our Fifth lvcnne.

A PROLIFIC CoRN Mr. j. r. Thomas, of
| Wavcrly. Illinois, has communicated to the
Patent Office, the result Of some experiment
with an Indian corn, few grains of which
were procured for him from the Wyandot
Indians. The following are its peculari-
ties
''Frst it requires but one grain to be
planted in each hill; more than one is useless
Second, each grain yields from three to eight
fuli-grown stalks, equal in length and strength
being from nine to twelve feet high, and pro-
coed directly from the grain. Third, each
stalk bears from two to four cars of large
and beautiful rearlwhite corn, the meal of
which is equal in appearance to flour manu-
featured from wheat Each hill will yield
from eight TO twenty cars. From an equal
quantity of seed planted it will produce dou-
bic the quantity Of ears that can be raised
from any other kind of corn grown. The
quantity Of fodder which it bears is immense,
and for stock feeding 1t is superior to all other
varieties. The kernel is shaped similar to
the yellow flint, the grain soft, twclvc-rowcd
and small cob. Ear from twelve TO fifteen
inches long.
eff planted five feet apart each way land
which is near cnough) it will require about
$500 grains, or one quart of seed, per acre
Allowing each grain to produce but six ears,
land my yield for the present year, 1855 will
average ten cars to tic hill } and the produce
off, 800 hills is Is, GOO cars, and, allowing l2O
cars to the bushc of corn. Che result will be
l25 bushels per acre. by actual measure
ment it has been conclusively proven that
three of the average sized cars of the Wyan-
dot corn will make one quart, or ninctysix
ears to the bushcl, say one hundred ears, and
the result is changed from l25 to $50 bushels
per acre, the latter being nearest correct"

Editors Of ChrOnide,-An affray producing
considerable excitement, took place in our vii
lsge on Tuesday evening, the 18th inst, particu-
lars of which were nearly as follows A man
by the name of JoHS c.. BAeSALL, a roller, had
q dispute with Mr.. JAMES WARD, the principal
business man of the Rolling Mill, } concerning
wages, and after talking a short time, Mr.. W.
told BAGNALL to 90 home and come back in the
morning, when he would have his account all
properly made out. BAGSALL left, apparently
satisfied, but in a half an hour or 50 afterwards
anne back with an instrument or weapon called
q handy billy, a leaden ball about the size of a
hens egg, fastened to the end of a piece of gut
Ia percha about a foot long, which he had con-
cealed in his hand placed in his pocket. He
then commenced disputing with Mr.. W. again,
and after a very few words he struck Mr.. W.
two or three times about the head, when Mr.. W.
grappled with him as be arose from his chair,
and in the tussle they both fell on the floor, Mr..
W. upermost, who held him there whilst one of
the spectators took the handy billy from BAG
NALL when he began to call out murder" They
Z 1uCh l1ASCO- -A- W y as cSOA u AS was
enabled to do so, went to the Justice of the peace,
and had a warrant issued for BAGNALL. He was
brought before the justice, and after an examina-
ton was fully committed. The Justice was
writing out the commitment, and the Constable
procuring conveyance to take the prisoner to
Warren. He was permitted to go and see his
wife in charge of a deputy constable Sol. A.
BEANER, from whom he managed to escape, but
the head constable j. R. NOBLE, thought it would
never d6to give it up so, and rightly surprising
he, (B. would make an effort to reach the rail
road, he Immediately started for Salem and on
the way passed B. In Salem he got help and
awaited the arrival of the gentleman and took
him, brought him back, and lodged him in Jail.
Il appeared in the evidence before the justice,
that BAGNALL had made his boast that he was
going up into Mr.. VS. office, to throw him
the window, which he no doubt would
have done, had his handy billy performed right,
or he have been sufficiently powerful to do so.

Trial of Moving Machines.

Two weeks since Messrs. REEVES & ABEL,
agents for the sale of MANNr's Adjustable Reap.
ing & Moving Machines, proposed through our
columns, that the working of MANSr's and
KETcHUM's Machines would be exhibited on
Tuesday the 18th inst at the farm of JoHS
REEVES, Esq, in Rowland, and also requested
the owners of any other moving machines, to
bring them, and test the merits of the different
machines. Two only were on hand. The MAN
SYis Machine, of Messrs. REEVES d ABEL, and
BALL & AUETMAS's Ohio Mower, (of which CHAs.
MESSENGER, of this place is agent) The ma
chimes were first tried on an old meadow, which
was tolerably smooth, where the grass was not
very heavy. They were then taken to a clover
field, where the grass was heavy, and the sur
face quite rough. Some delay here occurred
owing to the breaking of the tongue of the NAN
nv Machine but another was soon substituted
Two pieces of meadow were measured off, and
the grass cut by the two machines, one after the
other. Both did the work well, cutting, las
nearly as we could calculate at the rate of an
acre or more of grass, per hour. The NANNY
Machine cut the widest swath, while it seemed
to US that the other was more easily managed.
Quite a number. of the substantial farmers of
the county were in attendance, and viewed the
performance with much interest. We have no
doubt but that a large number of mowers
will be sold this season, and that they will
soon be in general use by large farmers through
out the county. We saw two; one of each kind,
taken out of town on that day, by two farm
ems who had been present at the trial, and we
are informed by Mr.. MESSENGER that he sold 9th
ers on that day and three more during the week.
We have not heard from Messrs. REEVES d

Sad Accident.

SAMUEL PECK, a young lad about seven years
of age, son of Mr.. CALEB PECK of this place was
drowned in the canal, on Monday evening. He
was crossing the canal at the guard lock on the
balance beams, when a dog which was crossing
at the same time, ran against him, causing him to
loose his balance, and fall into the water. An
other small boy who was with him, ran to the
Gaskill House for help. GEORGE Hull, son of
WIZ. H. Hull, Esq, a noble little fellow of some
16 years of age, plunged in as soon as he reached
the canal, but the water being some fifteen feet
deep, above the lock gate, he could not dive to
the bottom. The paddle was then opened and
the body passed through into shallower water,
when young Hull again plunged in and brought
it to the surface. We are told that several men,
railroad hands, stood near at the time of the ac-
eident, but made no effort to save the drowning
boy. We hope for the honor of humanity, this
is untrue. The usual remedies of rubbing the
body with brandy and initiating the lungs were
resorted to without success. This was continued
for three hours, but to no effect. Alarge number
of persons excited by curiosity, crowded around
the body, while Doctors PAINE and DAVIS were
laboring over the deceased, thereby preventing
a free circulation of pure air; this should not
have been allowed.
