A New CEREAL.-We saw a few days since. a
specimen Of Il new cereal grown in this county.
We could not get description OF the stalk, or
an account of its origin. and, with nothing to
guide us beside the rpened grain, we could not
class it, 1t appeared to be the fruit of rank
grass, stronger and larger than wheat. hut more
light and fragile than Indian corn. The ear or
cluster of grain formed on the summit of the
stalk, was about three and half inches in length.
about four inches in circumference, and OF an
irregular, oblong shape. The grains. OF which
there were several hundred in the cluster,
resembled in size and form the grain Of the com
mon broom corn. were compactly set, without
all outer general covering each grain having
delicate husk covering about half its bulk. The
grain was harder than wheat, rather brittle, and
when broken. gave a taste undi-t'nguirhabie
from Ind an corn. From the limited knowledge
of the nature and habits Of the plant to be gath
cred from cursOFy examination OF this isolated
specimen. we incline to the opinion that 1t may
become prolific and valuable article OF agrl-
cnlture. The "head" or cluster that we saw
will weld about az much in weight and volume
as fifteen or twenty ordinary heads OF wheat.
We shall learn more about this interesting speci-
