TOBACCO FROM MINNEsorA.@A sample of tobacco
grown this season at Belle Plaine, Minnesota, has
oeen forwarded to the New York Herald. 1t was
raised by planter from Virginia, who has had
much experience in the cultivation of this crop,
ana entertains very sanguine hopes of profitable
yieid from his estate in the new State. His crop
this year, being an experimental ene was not very
extensive; But he looks on the return as over the
average OF Virginia. He will have from twelve to
htteen hundred pounds. The specimen shows that
the plant attained large size, the leaf is long
and very well matured; but the tobacco is only Of
"fair," not fine superior quality.
The Ypsilant (Mich.) Herald, heretofore Re-
Puoncan sheet, has become Democratic paper.
