4 POWERFUL SERMoN.-"I felt yours
to be very powerful Sermon" said 1 to a
clergyman of a village church in Devonshire,
as | walked homeward with him. "Did
you?" he replied, and added after pause,
sand I too have had a powerful sermon" !"
As looked for an explanation, the clergy
man said, "There was an old man accompa-
MED by his grandchild among the consrega-
tion How earnest was the mans attention
as he stood up and listened to the sermon"
81 observed both him and his happy looking
ohild," replied. "That man was once the
greatest drunkard in the village shame
and pest to the place. The sudden death
of the beer shop keeper, who dropped down
with an oath upon his lips, first arrested the
thoughts of the aged drunkard a Jealous
member of the temperance society followed
up the first conviction by words of kind ad-
vice, and old Martin became a reformed man.
AS soon as his brain was clear from the fumes
of drink, he began to feel that he had q soul,
and to attend the house of God and now
he is among the most regular and devout at
tendants on public worship! As | see him
leading in his grandchild and bepding his
hoary head in worship, it is a powerful ser
mon to me to "sow beside all waters. -

REPORT OF JOHN T. MCAFEE ON
THE YIELD OF HIS CROP CORN.

THE YIELD OF HIS CROP CORN.
The undersigned bcgs leave to report to
the State Agricultural Society Of So. Ca, a
crop of fifty acres of corn, grown on bottom
land on Little Sandy River in Chester Dis
trct The variety of corn planted is what
is called with US the Walker corn, and has
been cultivated by Messrs Walker living
within three miles of Chester Court House
for over forty years The first 5 acres meas
ured, yielding on an average IS bushels per
acre. Twenty-nine acres, including the five
measured, sixty-one bushels per acre; and
the fifty acres, including the above, meas
ured fifty bushels per acre, or two thousand
five hundred bushels in ALL There were but
three acres of the above manured, and that
was with cotton seed; the cotton was PIT on
the corn when first planted.
I beg also to report two acres bottom land
on the same river; one acre measured one
hundred and five bushels, the other acre
niuety-fve bushels, making two hundred
bushels in all, no manure used; planted
with the same kind of corn as the above.
The land was broken up with long narrow
grabs-distance between rows in best land,
three feet; in land not so rich, three feet six
inches; all planted in drill, ,and when brought
to stsnd, IS inches apart. Commence plant
ing goth March; when the corn well up,
run around with narrow grabs, close and very
deep, followed in few days and chopped
out in 10 or II days, returned, and with
straight shovel, edged first furrow; in y
days returned, and put one furrow with
large straight shovel in the middle; in Is
days put four burrows to low, followed with
hoes and brought to stand in about two
weeks, broke out middles, and laid by about
the last of June.
My whole crop, $50 acres, averaged 343
bushels to the acre. The crop was not cul-
tivatcd with the expectation Of reporting it
to the Society, or l should have been more
particular in the exact days it was worked
There is one bushcl of the kind of corn |
plant, and 35 years, on exhibition.
Respectfully, yours,

R@ The Spirit ofthe Times furnishes the
following tom story: A farmer, way out
West, was greatly annoyed by the scratching
of his chickensin his garden, and concluded
to experiment little with them. He procur-
ed the services of a Shanghai rooster, and
the result cf the cross was a brood of chick
ems with each one long and one short leg.
When they stood on the long leg and under
took to scratch with the other they couldn't
touch bottom; on reversing the order of
things, as digging with the long leg while
the short one supported the body, the first
stroke would result in grand series of somer-
setts The consequence was that the hens
soon became 'a-weary' of that fun and left
the garden, and the farmers good wife re-
joiced greatly thereat'
