THE "USIoE" ABRoAD.-1he London Times
publishes communication from New Yorker,
showing that the predictions now SO common in
Europe, of an early dissolution Of the Union are
utter misrepresentation of American occurrences
and dispositions. Those opinions and views do
not coincide with the editorial expositons Of
the dissolution of the Union. The London Morn

able growth of corn few weeks ago, as raised
by Mr.. j. B. Yates of Falmouth. The estimate
LOT Mr.. Y. at that time was that he would gather
some Ave or six bushels from the half pint OF
seed planted, but from test made few DAYS
iSince Mr.. Y. thinks the yield from his half pint
of seed will scarcely be under ten bushels!
We doubt whether it will equal the corn OF
lordinarY growth for bread, but if it supply the
place for feeding stock, its extraordinary yield
will at once give it precedence We have never
seen grain equally prolific.
As before stated, the head containing the
grains of corn, remind US very much of the or
binary sumac, being pretty much in a cluster,
though much larger.-Fred. Herald.
