M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1856-05-01

A correspondent advises farmers to
look we'll to their seed corn. He says
the excessive freezing will destroy the
vitality of the terminating principle
He finished husking short time
since, and took ten grains from each
of the best looking ears he could evel
find in the lot. He then went to
neighbor who had just finished husk
ing; there he took the same number
of seeds from as many ears. HC
then selected an equal number o
grains from corn laid away last fall
put on a loft. Next, these three
seperate parcels were soaked. No
a single one in the first lot sprouted,
of the second lot two only sprouted,
whilst ninety-one of the third loI
sprouted.

Plant Corn [!

The questions Of cheap bread for
the working men and whether there
will be a good supply Of beef depends
upon how the people plant corn.
Ifpork next Fall is scarce and high,
those who have it to sell may think il
is a prosperous time for them, but
it will be more so if the people gener-
ally have planted corn. 1t is no true
argument that if all did so the price
would be "ruinously low" No couI
try ever was ruined by cheap bread.
We adjuro you therefore, every mar
of you that owns an acre of soil, TO
plant corn--in the English acception
of the. word, anything that will make
bread-but more partiularly we en-
treat you to plant maize or Indian
corn. We ask it now, because now
is the time to prepare for it. W.
ask it for the good of the country-fol
the benefit of the farmer.

description of it may prove Of interest
to our lady readers, we give one we
find in the Home Journal. That
paper says
A promenade over-dress-being a
close fitting coatlike the New York
surtout worn by gentlemen--only not
so long. tits the rage at present in
Paris, and pearl drab cachemere or
pelisse cloth arc the goods preferred.
The cut is double breasted, with four
pearl or pasSementerie buttons on each
Side of the lapels, and two buttons al
the waist behind, at the junction o.
the box plaits and the side seams
The collar is quite small. The sleeves
are cut in the pagoda style-that is
with very little fulness at the arm
hole, and formed to fit the arm nearly
to the elbow, from whence they wider
SO as to become very large and flow
ing at the wrist, where they are turn
cd over to form a round cuff OF thre,
inches in depth. For waist Sixteel
inches in length, the skirts should b
about eighteen inches long, and Gu
in regular circle, to sew without full
ness to the bodice and still tall grace
fully over a hooped skirt of moderat
amplitude. The edges are bound wit
fine galloon. There are two diagonf
pockets in the skirts. This carmen
should be cut and made by q tailo
who possesses some knowledge Of til
ornamental art, when it becomes tn
most attractive and comfortable ga
ment for promenade that was eve

to provide by ordinance for the election ol
that officer, but comforting no power to ap'
point him. Knowing nothing of the mat
