CORY AND Hoes. From carefully con.
Quoted experiments, BY different per-ons,
it has been ascertained that one bushel of
corn will make little over 10Y pourds Of
pork-gross. Taking the result ~ basis,
the following deductions are male, which
all our farmers would d. well to Law by
for convenient reference That,
When corn costs l2t cents per busheL,
pork costs t cents per pound.
When corn costs II cents per bushsl,
pork costs 2 ceats per pound.
When corn costs 25 cents per bushel.
pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costs 33 cents per bushel,
pork COSTS 4 cents per pound.
When eOru costs so cents per busheI,
pork 'sts cents per pound.
The following statement shows what the
farmer realizes for corn, when sold iu the
form Of pork:
When pork sells for cents per pound
it brings 80 cents per busheI in corn.
When pork sells for cents Per pound

ECKEL DISCHARGED.

The case of John ]. Eckel, accused Of
participation in the murder of Dr., Burdell,
came up in the New York Court of Oyer
aud Terminer on Monday, whec Mr.. Gra-
ham, counsel for Eckle, suggested that in,
asmuch as Mrs. Cunningham, who was
accused of having been principle in the
crime, has been acquitted by a jury Of her
countrymen, the prosecution should move
a nolie proSsegm. Mr.. Eckle since the
acquittal of Mrs. c., had 'been permitted
90 at large on his own recognizance un-
til the October term, but no action had
been taken at that time through inadver
tance. Mr.. SeJg1ick then moved nolle,
and the Court discharged the accusel.--
This is probably the last act in the drama
which absorbed public attention so long
and the murderer, whoever he or she may
be, will probably remain, except in the
conjectures of individual minds, unrecogni-
zed or will probably never be convicted.
The discharge of Mr.. EckIe under a
motion Of noIle pr0ssQui, does not bar any
future indictment for the same offence, as
the case has really not been tried.-Leader.

SMILES An anecdote is told of VIM.
Hutton, the great mathematician, which
aplly illustrates the beatifc influence of
smiles. A poor detected woman called
upon him one day, and told him she de-
sired his counsel in domestic difficulties
She had husband who was iu the habit
of absenting himself almost constantly
from his home, and seeking the society of
evil companions; that she had tried every
means that she could think of as likely to
give any chance of reel ,mstion; aud hear.
ing Of him as wise as we'll as kind man,
she had called in the hope that be could
suggest remedy,
"My remedy" said the philosopher, "is
so simple that | fear you will not have
faith enough to persevere 10 its use sutfi-
cieutly long for cure"
Upon the poor woman assuring him
that she would comply with bis recommen-
datious t. the letter, Hutton said: "The
remedy is simply smiles. When your hus-
band does come home to you, always meet
him With smile, whether you feel like
wearing it or not; and keep smiling all the
time during his stay"
The woman thanked him with curtsev.
and departed. Several months after, she
called again, bringing triAing present of
some kind. as token of her gratitude
This she begged him to accept, informing
him with smile, that his prescription had
been completely successful! Her counte-
nance gave evidence as she spoke, that now
it was habit with her to smile.
This anecdote but confirms the expert
ence OF all observers, and wonderful, in.
deed, is the influence, in all conditions of
life, Of what Milton describes as the .'sweet
influence of looks and smiles"

SELECT MIS- CELLAN Y
The New sugar Experiment.

The practicability of obtaining every de
sirable variety of sugar and nolasses from
the Sorghum Saccharatum, or Chinese
Sugar Cane, has been thoroughly tested
by Mr.. Joseph s. Lowering, sugar'refner,
of Philade phia. He has published a
pamphlet giving the results of his expert
ments, and describing the process both in
culture of the plant aud the making of the
sugar. We subjoin the conclusions at
which the writer arrives:
lst. That it is obvious that there is a
eliminating point in the development OF
the sugar in the cane, which is the best
time for making. This point or season |
consider to be, when most if not all the
seeds are ripe, and after several frost !,
say when the temperature falls to rs degs
or 80 F.
2d. That frost, or, even hard freezing,
does Hot iOjure the juice nor the sugar
but that warm Indian summer weather,af-
ter the frost and hard freezing, does injuTe
them very materially, and reduces both
quantity and quality.
Sd. That if the cane is cut and housed,
or shocked in the field when in its most
favorable condition, it will probably keep
unchanged for q long time.
4th. That when the juice is obtained
the process should proceed continuously
and without delay.
9TH. That the Qualification should be as
perfect as possible by the time the density
reaches fifteen deg. Became, the syrup
having the appearance Of good brandy.
9Th. That, although eggs were used in
these small experiments, on account OF
their convenience, bullock's blood, il to be
had, is equally good, and the milk Of
lime alone will answer the purposei in the
latter case, however, more constant and
prolonged skimming will be required 10
produce perfect Qualification, which is
highly important. ....
7th. That the concentration, Of boiling
down, after clari6cation, should be as rapid
as possible without scorching, shallow
evaporators being the best.
With these conditions secured, it is a.
bout as easy to make good sugar from
the Chinese sugar cane as to make pot
of good mush, and much easier than to
make kettle Of good apple butter.
