Thg Yorktown Celebration.

We need scarcely say we heartily approve
the proposition which has been made to cele-
brate the anniye 7sary Of the equalization at
Yorktoan, on tie spot rendered memorable
by that groat event. We are generally in
favon of reviying the proud "reminiscences OF
past glory, as a means of stimulating the
patriotism of the living, and surely there is
not in onr history d day to which the eye
can be drawn that records an event more il
lusirious than that which took place on the
18th of October, ISL Not'a year passes
that the people Of Massachusetts, do not as
semble at Bunker Hill, on the Eth Of June
to commemorate the heorism Of these brave
men who first withstood the shock Of the
British army on that immortal height, and
it is almost certain, that had Yorktown
been in any other State than Virginia, a
lofty obelisk, rising over the mounds and
redoubts of the old fertilization, (Which are
still distinctly traceable, } would have salut-
ed the gaze of the visitor afar off, notifying
him that he was approaching one of the hal
lowed places of this Western Continent As
it is, Yorktown presents nothing to indicate
that any grand occurrence has ever taken
place there, and Octoburs have succeeded
Octobers, in all their golden sunshine and
mellow beatty Of atlnosphere for three quar-
tiers Of century, without gun to awaken
the echoey Of the spot. or flag to show how
many stars have been added to the welkin
Of the national ensign since it was first I'M
rolled to the breeze, As place Of pilgrim
age, we will undertake to say, that fewer
Americans visit Yorktown annually than
visit Waterloo, so little regard has been
shown by the citizens of Virginia for the
locality which is associated with the valol
of Hamilton the gallant nle,aory Of Lafay-
cite, and The undying fame Of Washington
The approaching celebration at Yorktown
ought to be no nero local affair, confined!
to the citizens of the vicinity of the battle

be arrangements made, w:ehout delay, for

Cutting Corn.

y writer suggests that, as II Is pr0Dauie
a large part of the growing Germ is too late
to fully mature. unless we have an unusual
warm September and October, circum-
stance hardly to be expected, therefore i,
will probably be the safer course for most far
mers to cut up and shock their corn as soor
as it will in any way answer-.hat is, if i,
can he :senc before receiving much injury
from frost; by se'deing they may save much
in the value Of fodder, and much corn would
ripen in the shock that would be nearly ruin
cd by the frost.
We have several times seen corn cut up,
and tied in moderately sized bundles and
slung across poles over the barn floor, where
il has dried perfectly. and the fodder was
much better than it would have been had il
been sAeekea in the field We have seen
varions methods Of shocking corn in til
field. Como put dozen large bundles il
a shock such large stacks do not dry we'll
Others cut and stand it round a hill pur-
poscly left uncut. We have seen corn very
safely shocked by using only FIVE bundles 10
the shock oae III the centre, and one on
each os the s,ar sides, a band OF rye straw
was tightly tied around the whole some foui
feet from the ground and the tops of the
stalks beat ovef eud ted lowa Such shosks

Of it viii probably be TIE cefning harvest. is
sometimes Injured when stored in large
quantities in the crib or the slated corn
house. If dry, windy weather follows after
the corn has been eribbed or housed, it gen.
crafty dries we'll, but IL lnng- continued damp
or rainy weather succeeds, the corn is very
Liable to heat and mould, &C., injuriug its
mealing qualities. To guard against such
a loss, We have known farmers TO have a
tight box stove III their corn houses, and
they kept brisk fire a portion of the time
during the damp weather., thereby drying
their corn very fast, and saving it from in
jury.
The labor Of manuriug. ploughing, plant;
ing and hoeing an acre of corn is no triiine
Job il many situations Of the country, and
it should be the aim OF TIE farmer to make
the most of this labor, and not cheat himself
out Of a portion Of his work By suffering his
corn Or fodder to be injured or wasted
through negligence or lack Of care on bis
part.
