A HINT TO FARMERS. The protracted and
general rains of the last two months render
long and severe drouth in the late Summer
or Fall highly probable-such a drouth as, in
large districts, consumed last Autumn much
of the cured fodder that was needed for Win
ter and Spring, and thus caused the starvation
of many cattle. Now is the time to divert
the disastrous effects of similar drouth this
season, by sowing Indian Corn. or some other
luxuriant and succulent plant for fall feeding
Two acres thus sown last June would have
carried through many herd that persisted or
was seriously injured by the famine of last
March and April
Let those who sow corn. drill it and give it
space. 1t is almost always sown too thick
on rich ground. And let those who can buy

TINS plant will supplant Indian Corn us fod-
aer crop; but let experience settle this point.
Hogs cat it greedily and thrive upon it and
nothing that will eat green cornstalks fails to
give Sorghum decided preference. There
has already been enough of it planted for
seed; let us now see what can be done with
it for Fodder alone.
And let no farmer who has neglected to get

NARROW EscAPE.-A young man named j.

escape from death, yesterday morning. He had

more than dozen pieces, the barrel splitting ex-
actly through the centre, for six inches from the

As our readers may imagine. fishing was
instantly forgotten by the happy couple, and
with eager energy they set to work to search
for more of the same sort. Wading into the
water up to their waists, utterly disregardng
broadcloth aud linen now kneeing in the
thick mud. and now grovelling in it with
their hands, they continued their explorations

turtles, and we are crcdibly informed that ev-
cry nth or sixth shell contained a pearl of
greater or less size. Indeed, by the time they
had rested from the search they had two or
three pockets full of the precious gems.
For six days the spot was visited by the
two friends, both of whom, to the wonder of
their families and employees-for both are
gentlemen engaged in business in this city
started off at an early hour IN company, and
returned late at night. At the end of that
time, and about one week since, one of the
parties started for New York with nearly
bushel of choice pearls in his possession. His
first application in the city was made to
celebrated firm in the jewelry business on
Broadway, and on examination OF the pearls,
they were pronounced to be of the first quail
ity and of large value. The firm Immediately
advanced $4,000 upon the gems, and took
them into their keeping, giving receipt for
them by the measure.
The owner of the pearls drew the money in
gold, and depositing it in his carpet bag, he
started fer home on the Hudson River Road.
AZ he landed on this side he was met BY an
old friend, who, slapping him on the back,
said in familiar tone, "Ah, old boy, how are
you p trGUeltng on gour muscle Ell - The
pearl started and turned pale Associ-
ating the remark at once with the discovery
of the muscles, and without moments
thought, he exclaimed, GOOD God how did
you find it it out? Does any one else know
abaut it but you J" "Why, no !" replied the
bewildered friend. "Then step in here to the
Stanwix,' was the rejoinder, "snd I'll make
1t worth your while to keep quiet"
Not knowing what to make out of such
strange conduct, and almost doubling the SAN
,ity of his friend, the person who had accosted
the fisherman went to the Stanwix, where,
In private room, he soon received an explain
alton, much TO his own satisfaction, and with
out letting out the fact of his own previous
ignorance of the discovery OF the pearls. This
third party has since been prosecuting the
search, and has obtained probably SIS, 900 to
$4,000 worth of the precious stones.-AI-

ANOTHER PEARL FISH SroRY.-There has
been considerable excitement in neighbor-
hood in the immediate vicinity of this city for
the past two weeks, although it has extended
at present but to a limited circle, in conse-
quence Of the discovery of large number Of
pearls, which in size, purity and value are
certainly uDequalled by any that have vet
been found in the different localities in which
they are said to abound, even supposing the
most extravagant newspaper descriptions to
fall short of the reality. 1t appears, so far as
we can at present ascertain the reliable facts
that about fourteen or fifteen DAYS since. two
gentlemen who were about f. proceed ON a
fishing excursion, were searching mud bot.
toned creek near the city for bait, when one
Of them found large sized ccumon muscle.
BY way of a joke, he called out to his com.
panion that he had picked up a valuable gem
and then, laughingly. produced the muscle
saying that the gem was inside in the shape
OF a priceless pearl. His friend smiled at the
"sell," and the muscle was actually thrown
aside without being opened.
Shortly afterward, however, the same gen.
tleman came across another muscle, smaller
than the first, but with a round. full SHE'LL

tie shells, and forced them apart. To his ut
ter astnnishment, he actually discovered n
small, but beautifully pure shell, perfect in
shape, and free from the slightest flaw. He
now shouted to his friend in earnest, and
when he returned, the two went back to the
spot where the first muscle found had been
cast, recovered and opened 1t, and discovered,

IHE NEW GRANADA DIFFICULTY- The
Troops for Utah. Washington, June 90
Dispatches were received today at the State
Department from Bogota. The imbroglio be-
tween the two governments is in tair way

fourth artillery, now at that post. all of which
will be prepared to march to and establish a
post at or near Salt Lake City and at the
earliest practicable day, he, Gen. Harvey,
will put the troops en- route : but will, until
that time, retain his present command of the
troops in Kanzas.
On the 9th OF January next, after the terri
tory of Utah shall have been entered by the
troops, it will constitute a new and separate
military department, to be styled the ''De.
partmeht OF Utah, to be commanded by Gen.
Harvey, or the senior officer present, who will

artillery, will be selected, and if necessary,

ed. and any other posts, not exceeding two,
in addition, that may be established in Utah,

The GREAT TRIAL OF MtrwERs AND REAP
ERs.-Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, President of
the United States Agricultural Society, re-
turned from Syracuse June Goth, where a
meeting was held to perfect the arrangement
for the great trial of mowers and reapers which
is to be held on the 18th OF July. Over eighty
machines have been entered, and the number
will probably be increased before the day OF
trial. The die of the gold medal which is to
be awarded to the successful competitors, has
been finished. 1t is very appropriate and
neat medal. On the face is Ceres goddess of
the harvest, patroness of agriculture) seated
upon throne. In her right hand which is
elevated and extended forward in an attitude
of invitation, she holds wreath of honor
in her left hand the sickle-emblem of agri-
cultural industry. In her lap are gathered
various fruits Her brow is crowned with the
star of empire, and her expressive counte-
nance manlfests her dignifed rank as the i'm
partial disposer of awards to the competitors.
Around the rim of the medal is the classic
wreath of laurel, and within this are the
words, in Roman letters: "UNITED STATES
AGRICULTURAL socIETY.-MDcccLu." The
reverse side is ornanented simply with a
/ wreath OF plants, the productions OF the grand
divisions Of the United States, embematic of
the national character of the Society. On one
S'No oiS sA'0 suSoL zane anu the cOttoh plant
on the other the Indian corn and wheat, and,
at the bottom, uniting the two, is grape vine
laden with fruit and leaves. Thus the great
staples of the South, North, West, and East,
are wreathed together, encircling a space ap.
propriated for inscrbing the name of the sue
cessful competitor. The medal will be cast
in gold, silver, and bronze. Ample arrange.
ments have been made to have this trial pass
of with success. The board OF Judges EN- :
braces some Of the most prominent egricul.
turists from all parts of the Union. The trial
will be one OF the most importrut ever held in
