| SEED D-CoRN---Now is the time to save it. Go
through the field before you harvest the CROP and
select the largest, best, most forward ears and as
far as practicable take the best of two from stalks
bearing duplicates. Braid the husks together Of
some II or 20 ears, and hang the bunch upon nails
OF ratters in dry loft-the garrett of farm house
is good place. No matter how dry and warm or
smoky. Seed corn kept in the loft Of a smoky log
cabin never fails to vegetate when planted in the
| spring. If seed-corn is left exposed to damp
weather and freezing the germ is often destroyed.
So, carefully save your seed-corn, and do it now
to-day.

LIBERIAN CoFFEE.-We have received from Mr..
Coppinger package of coffee, raised upon the
farm of President Benson, in Bassa county, Lii
IBERIA. The berry is uncommonly large and full
and light in color. The coffee raised in Liberia is
declared to be the best known, and commands a
much higher price than any other The remarka-
BILE prosperity of Liberia within the last five years,
in agricultural, commercial, educational and reli-
gous aspects, the increasing enterprise of her cit
new settlements, the growing disposition of the
coored people of this country to look toward their
ancestral land for the good which they seek al
most in vain on this continent, are ample tokens
that the time is rapidly approaching in which
the most ardent aspirations of Christians and phi
anthropists for Africas civilization and elevation
will be fully realized.-Phild. Ledger.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN QUEEN ANNE's CouNTY;-
Our usually quiet town startled and shocked by
the news on Tuesday evening last OF a distressing
accident which occurred at the residence OF Mr..
Whiting, few miles below Centrevile, by which
a very Interesting boy, Oscar, the son of Mr.. John
NJ Collins, lost his life. He was in room of Mr..
Writings house, and while playing with a son of
Mr.. ". gun in the hands of his playfellow, which
was thought to be unloaded, was accidentally
discharged, causing his instant death, the entire
load taking effect in his neck and head.-Cenre-

THE WONDERS TOLD OF AMERICA.

The reports of the gorgeousness displayed in your
city, especially your great dinners, have taken the
people by surprise and wonderment. Three dollars
for dinner was to them marvellous and fabulous
sum to pay, and they asserst it impossible to
the best style costs an itsabu. There were many
striking and wonderful sights which they saw, and
it was not long before the whole town made
aware of the most celebrated voyage the japanese
had ever undertaken together with all the incidents
connected Herewith. All excitement, however,
subsidized, and the japanese expressed a universal
desire to the return of their officers, and to
ceive from them report in full, with properly
authenticated accounts, to be published and spread
the empire, showing to the people how foreign
great nations looked upon japanese officials.
