CHINESE SUGAR CANE.-A circular has been
issued from the agricultural department of
the Patent Office in regard to the peculiarities
and manner ofculGvation ofthe so called Chi.
nese sugar cane,a plant which promises to be-
come an important addition TO the agriculture
al products of the country. 1t has been de-
monstrated that this plant may be cultivated
as far North as st. Paul, in Minnesota. When
cultivated on ordinary land in the United
States. it grows to height of from eight to
sixteen feet. Its stems are STRAIGHT ard
smooth, often covered with white bloom or
down, with leaves very similar in appearance
to those of Indian corn, but more elegant
When cultivated in hills containing eight or
ten stalks each, it puts forth at its top conf
cal panicle of dense flowers, green at first,
but changing into violet shades, and finally
INTO dark purple at maturity. The average
yield of seed to each panicle is at least gill.
1t IS believed that at the South, if the stalks
are protected during winter, they will produce
new plants the following spring. saaog
4his cane is of easy cultivation, being sim.
Lar to that of maize or broom corn, but will
flourish in much poorer soil. 1t does not
succeed so we'll, however. when Gown broad
cast, with view of producing fodder. as it
will not attain much more than half its usual
helght. ii the seeds are planted in Nav in
the Middle States, or earlier farther South.
two crops of fodder may be raised in one seas
on from the same roots. The first crop should
be cut before the panicles appear, and the sec
ond at the time or before the seed is fully
matured. One quart of seeds are sufficient
tor an acre. If the soil be Indifferent or poor,
they may be sown in rows or drills three feet
apart, with the plants from ten to twelve
inches asunder; but if the soil be rich, they
may be planted in hills, five or more seeds to
each HILL four or five feet apart in one direc-
ton, and three or four in the other. Hoe the
same as Indian corn, and remove suckers OF
superl1uous roots The seed should be har
vested before it acquires dark or black
hue. Should the plants lodge or fall to the
ground, during storms of wind or rain. be-
fore the seed natures, they may remain for
weeks without injury. If intended solely tor
fodder, it may be tied up in bundles, shocked
and cured, like the tops of Indian corn. The

said to be of extraordinary richness, with

COUNTY COURT:

Tho County Court met on Monday;
present, Justices Tough, president
Reed and Davis. There was not very
much business transacted on Monday.
On Tuesday tho celebrated "Buck-
horn" case came up and was disposed
Of. The case is about as follows: Mr..
Elisha w. Snider, who lives on the
Fairmont Pike, and who, it appears
frem the evidence, was rather good
Democrat, fastened fine pair of buck
horns on tree in the road near his
house, in order that the passers by
might know he was Buck and Brock
man. A few days afterwards, Mr..
Alstopheus Davis, who, with num-
Der Of his friends was returning from
the celebrated Know Nothing conven-
ton at Fairmont, climbed Mr.. Snider's
tree, took the buck horns down and
brought them home with him. Mr..
Snider feeling aggrievcd brought suit
against Mr.. Davis, before Justice Ma
<lera, for the horns, which Justice Ma
dera dismissed at plaintiffs cost. From
this judgment Mr.. Snider took an APP
peal, and the Court, after hearing the
evidence, reversed the decision of tho
justice and gave judgment against Da-
Wis for $3.50, for value of the buck
horns, and COSTS Virginia Star.
B~-As that article reads, it does
marked injustice to Esquire MADEIRA
When this case was b efore him, Mr..
Snidcr utterly failed to prove the own
,ership Of the "buck horns" or the val
no thereof, which, from the nature of
his suit was indispensable, according to
good Democratic counsel which he took
before making his decision; and the
Court with no more evidence before it
than was adduced before him, could not
have given Judgment against Mr.. Da-
Wis. We understand, however, that
new evidence was brought into court;
hence Judgment for plaintiff. We are
sorry the Star did not "tell the whole
truth Esquire MADEIRA is not the
man whose political prejudices would
influence his judicial decisions, and any
;intimations Of that kind do him injus-
ticc; hence we are disposed 20 correct
and repudiate them when they appear,
though in tho Democratic organ.

Kansas Affairs an Washington.-
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Daily Times says:
The President has received official
information from the Agent for the
Shawnee Indians, that as the members
of the tribe have nearly completed their
selection Of 100000 acres in their re-
serve, an extensive organization has
been formed by persons in Western
Missouri---reported from 800 to 500
families---to 60 upon said reserve on
the FIRST of February and make and oc-
cupy for themselves selections from
the surplus--about 100000 acres.--
The treaty prohibits whites from set
ling in the reserve until ninety days
after al the Indian selections arc made
and approved and thesurplus set apart
by the Presidents proclamation. The
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, by
direction of the President, has ordered
Col. Cummings, Superintendent at ST.
Louis, to 60 to the Shawnee reserve Il
stay there, and prevent whites from
occupying Shawnee, Miami, Kaw, or
any other Indian lands. acquisitions
for troops to support Col. Cummings
orders have been sent on by telegraph
and messenger.

HoV to make Niagara Falls useful
as well as BeautJuL--I lately heard
an idea suggested of such bold and
extraordinary a nature, that it struck
me with awe from its very magnitude.
Of course the originator is Yankee,
for no one but Yankee could elimin-
ate such gigantic idea. The propo-
sition is simply this: To construct an
immense water wheel at Niagara Falls
mot small temporary affair--but
one large and strong enough to use
the entire power Of the Falls. From
this with proper grading, he would lay
down a permanent shaft through the
State of New York, terminating at
Albany. Those in want ofpower CO.
then bolt on ad libitum, ad finitum.
What a splendid row of cities--manu-
featuring cities---would grow up along
the whole line Of the shaft. Steam
engines would then be nowhore---and
as for those paltry water powers called
privileges" they would be like chill
dren dismissed from school by an in
dulgent master, henceforth to play at
leisure, running through their Course
without Restraining dam. '---Apple-
