UNCLE SANS OUTLAY FOR THE CABLE.-The
United States Government, it is said, will
have expended, by the time the Niagara is
once more fitted for war steamer, directly
and indirectly, in the cable business, the sum
Of fco hundred and fifty thousand dollars, at
least. This is a pretty generous contribution
to the cause of science, when 1t is considered
that the whole enterprise in the hands and un-
der the control of the British Government,
and that both ends of the line are upon Brit
ish soil. 1t shows that the old gentleman is
not selfish to say the least.

A gentleman who has two hundred acres of
corn in the Whitewater Valley, informs us
that the crop was never better. He estimates
the yield at eighty bushels per acre. About
sixty acres of this farm was overfowed seren
times during May and June. Forty acres in
the same neighborhood sold recently at thirty
dollars per acre. The corn in that section is
all very good, and the average yield is estima-
ted at from sixty to eighty bushels to the acre.
