The proposition to raise five mill
tax for completing the Court House
was voted down almost unanimously,
the vote standing, Yes-ll; No-62s;
majority against the Court House
Fund, Gil.
Had the proposition been to raise a
moderate sum sufficient TO enclose the
building and save it from going to
ruin, it would have carried almost
without opposition. But the people
feel too poor to cxpcnd seven or eight
thousand dollars Just now or the Court
House, when much smaller sum will
answer the purpose. This heavy tax
was a proposition of Judge Ripley's,
unasked for by single petitioner.
The Sc inel shows that the people had
the intelligence and independence to
vote down the Judge and his Court
House Fund together.

SAVING SEED Cork. 1t will be
scarce and dear next Spring, neigh
Dor! Hadn't you better arrange for
your supply now If you would do
SO, and secure corn, every grain of
which will grow, visit your corn-field
this month Select good ears from
the earliest in the field If ripe
enough, pull and hang up in a dry,
cool place, (tying them together by
the husks.) Select all you need in
this way, and we will warrant you
good seed for next year.
We would suggest here, whether it
would not be well to introduce ii
quicker growing corn? Our seasons
seem to be less reliable than formerly,
this being the fourth year that we
have had frost in the early part of
September The gourd-seed varieties
are too slow growing for such seasons
as the present. Had we not better
get something little faster ?"-Ioua
Cay Republican.
In regard to planting seed corn, we
find in the New Hampshire Journal of
Agriculture the statement of an expe-
rienced farmer, who says that seed
from the butt end Of an ear of corn
will ripen its products all at the same
time, and nearly three weeks earlier
than seed from the small end of the
same ear. He also recommends for
farmers to break the ears in two in
the middle, and plant only the seed
from the butt end of the ear.

aid puts forth an account of the dealt,
of Harry Black of Newport, Penn,
who undertook to sever the head of a
hen. and was attacked by rooster
which spurred him on the hand into
an artery. About two weeks after
the accident he was attacked with an
intense pain and sickening sensation
of the heart, and his sutferings were
insupportable. At this date a re-
markable occurrence took place. He
drew his entire frame together as
though to gain strength for an act,
and his voice broke forth like the
growing of rooster. This was re-
peated from time to time, and such
was the similarity of their voices. that
the outside listeners asserted their be-
lief that it was a rooster After four
days of Undesirable suffering he died
and crowcd no more.

No man has hit upon so happy de-
scription Of the Douglas policy in ref
erence to the territories as that given
by Abe Lincoln in one of his Ohio
speeches, when he said that by it
" slavery may be legally excluded
from territory in which it may legal
ly remain !" No form of words can
more clearly bring out the contradic-
ton between belief in the bred Scott
decision, which legalizes slavery eve
ny where, and belief at the same
time, in unfriendly legislation" that
may every where forbid it. This con.
densed statement, embodying the facts
and logic Of an elaborate political the.
DRY, appeals so forcibly to popular
comprehension, that, as long as the
contest which gave rise to it, contin.
ues, it will not be forgotten.

Chinese Sugar Cane.

At the Illinois State Fair held at
Freeport meeting was held by the
farmers present and various matters
connected with agriculture were dis
cussed. From the report of Rural"
furnished the Chicago Tribune, we
CLEAN few items Of interest to our
readers.
CHINESE SUGAR CANE.-This produc-
ton being under discussion a farmer
explained the cause Of the burnt taste
to most samples of syrups to be al
lowing it to cool in quantity, or in
kegs, casks or kettles, when it forms
IL scum over it which arrests radiation
and the syrup is burned by its own
heat. Several other farmers coincid-
ed with him and they all recommend
ed cooling in shallow vessels. Mr..
Douglass, Of Ohio, said that sugar
could be made from unripc cane. His
doctrine is to boil rapidly, cool off and
rcboil and cool in shallow pans. He
says it will granulatc in two and a
half hours and in proof of his asscr
tions exhibited sample of the sugar
DR.. Ostrander, who took the premium
at the State Society last winter fol
the best fifty pounds of sugar from
this cane, said that he had steamed
the stalks before pressing and fount
no difficulty in making sugar withou
the least trouble, using no acids o
other DELEGATION. Another gentcme
had made the same experiment il
steaming and was we'll pleased wit
the result. He is now perfecting IN;
chinery for the purpose. Mr.. FoIsol
stated that he has one hundred an
fifty acres of Chinese cane, at Pans
and is grinding up from three to fou
acres per day. A careful account il
being kept, and Tie result will 500
be published. Mr.. Hedges said tina
Mr.. Bc,chcr, the sugar refiner, of st
Louis, stated to him that this can
was yet to supply the North with he
syrups, and that too of a superio
quality. Another gentleman state,
that he has made 81 gallons of syruI
from one acre of the cane. This was
by steaming. Steaming is to be tried
at Pana by Mr. Folsom. Several 9th
er gentlemen took part in the discus
sion, confrmatory Of the views pre-.
scented.
The subject of culture was discussed
and much difference of opinion mani
Tested, though it was generally conced.
ed that close planting is the best, say
three feet each way with two or three
seeds in hill, which would make
from eight to ten stalks. Small stalks
are the best No one present ap
peared to doubt the success of this
cane for syrup, and many were san
guine Of its great value for sugar.
The trials of Imphee have not resulted
80 Gvorably, as it is not SO good a
grower, though several have pro-
nounced it more hardy.

Americans do like money. But
they like it not for itself, but for what
it will bring them. They do not want
barren possessions, but fruitful. They
like to earn money-nobody better.
But they like to spend it, too; and
they do SO literally. Indeed, if they
were content with less luxury, and
without the qualification Of the tastes
which civilization imparts, and gene
raj education fits them for, the Ameri
cans would not seem, to superficial
observers, such inveterate money get
tiers. The almighty dollar" is an
object Of desire, but it is not the
round disk Of the stupid coin which
they worship, but the covetable things
which the money will procure.

The Election.

Election day has come aud gone,
and with it has passed the excitement
which it occasioncd. The Republi-
cans of Floyd county have held their
own and cast the same vote on the
State ticket that they did last year.
The Democrats have increased their
vote a trifc, and we suppose this may
be accounted for on the ground that
our population during the last year
has been somewhat nuctuating -some
have moved away and others have
moved in-and not that any Republi-
can has left his party and gone over
TO the Democracy. Possibly the Dem
ocrats were more vigilantin strength
ching the outposts" and in bringing
out their men 20 the polls Certain it
is that very many Republicans can be
counted up who did not go to the polls
at all. This must he chargablc to the
Incidence Of the Republican county
and town committces-m many of whom
gave no attention to the canvass, and
none of whom procured nor ordered to
be printed any votes for the election
a want of energy wholly incxcusable
in times like these. The Republicans
here were unfortunate in the I'M
popularity of some of their County
candidates, while the opposing candi-
dates on the Democratic ticket en-
joyed largely the confidence of the
people, and in two instances won the
election, viz The candidates for Coun-
ty Judge and for Sheriff. This result
must be q severe rebuke to those eau
Gus managers who sought to foist
upon the people nolens rolems men I'M
suited to the positions for which they
were nominated, and in one instance

You'd what they were able to bear.
Men Of all parties believe David
Wiltsc, (the newly elected County
Judge to be capable and an honest
man. That this is true, and that the
people did not have this opinion Of
