of the United States is of more val.
ue than any other agricultural pro-
duction, not even excepting cotton
The culture of corn has wonderfully
increased of late years-its ratio oil
increase being far greater than any
other product. From 1889 to 1S49,
as per. census returns, the increase
was 30 per cent. Wool is the next
highest, its increase being so per-
cent; Cotton "a; Oats 20; and Wheat
l6, The cotton crop of 1851 was
92,000.000 of pounds. valued at
$4,000, 900, while the corn crop
of 1850 was $4,000, 600 of bushels,
which at the lowest possible price at
which it can be estimated. is Of far
greater value than the cotton crop.

An exchange relates remarkable


An exchange relates a remarkable
dog case thus:
Charles Houston, a man we'll known
on the Alabama river, but the last
few years a resident of California,
was killed by the explosion Of a steam
boat near San Francisco few months
since. A noble Newfoundland dog,
owned by him, escaped injury, and
dragged the body of his master to
the shore. The dog was sent home
to the mother of ths deceased. re siding
in Perry county, Alabama. On being
shown the daguerreotype of his lost
master, the dog Immediately recog-
nized it, and commenced licking it,
sending up the most piteous bowls;
since that time he has refused all
food, and means almost constantly,
When last heard from he was in a dy-
ing condition. and is probably dead
by this time. Where in human
history, can be found such an instance
of devoted love, and intense grief at
the loss of loved one.

A California Wife.

State of California, was member
oflhe Stale Legislature, Mrs. B., his
wife, absolutely washed the clothes

OF his election Bigler was very poor,
and his per diem was hardly enough
for himseIf and wife to live on in

Where's the Winter!-

All aske | this question awhile ago.
We began to suspect that he did not
intend to greet US again with his shiv-
ering appearance. OF course we were
mistaken. In the midst of our doubts
we rose last Sunday morning, rather
early, to reconnoitre. We had
hardly opened the front-6oor before
we felt our nose seized so rudely as
to leave us in no mistrust as to the
offender. The window-panes opposite
told us, too, a corroborative story
Winter had suddenly arrived the night
before, with his whole fur wrapped
and snow-mantled rftinue of attend
ants. He had not even forgotten that
rare old artist, Jack Frost, whose PEN
Gil had already embellished every Wis
ible pane of glass with the most deli-
cate and picturesque racing--whose
taste had adorned every tiny tree
branch with an edging of shining sill
Yer, and playfully condescended to
conceal even the dirty water in the
street-gutters. by covering it with a
gorgeous surf,ce of glittering light
So Winter has really come, and he
looks quite as well as ever. His hair
is just as white as Of yore, notwith-
standing that fashionable dyes are
both cheap and abundant, and that al
most every hair that pretends to go
Into society, nowadays, has gone into
black as the color for the season.
Winter, however, has always been &C.
centric. We think we may even call
him, without improperly, an odd fel-
low. He has his signs and his grip
"a severe grip it is, too, sometimes
with which we may recognise him
at any moment. Yet, with all his
roughness, many admire the hearty
old fellow. We could not very well
d. without him. So, as he is
here, let us give him hearty vel
