To FARMERs.-We again ask that the
farming community will furnish Us With
well authenticated news in regard to their
mode Of tillage-the time of seeding. the
yield per acre, &C., &c.
JOSEPH ED1EBRocK-Has threshed bis
new wheat and oats, and informs US that
the former weighs IS and the latter AZ lbs
to the bushel. The wheat Is of the Club
variety.
HARVEST HoME.-In many Of the DID,
er States, the farming community after &C.
curing their crops, have general joliaca-
ton under the name of Harvest Home

for introducing the custom into Minnesota,
and we hope that our friends Of Maine

ample.
Mr.. PuTNAM-Of the adjoining Coun-
ty Of Sherburne, raised 20 bushels Of shell.
ed Dent corn from one acre, on the field
adjoining his Hotel, two years ago. The
same field has heavier crop upon it now.
We walked through it a few days since
and found it Q to 81 feet high, and it cer-
tainly promises Sciota Valley yield. He
will carefully measure the land and crop
and send the result to US for publication.
M1ss1Na.-Two keggs Of white lead
were taken from the Baptist Church. We
suppose they were borrowed and will be re-
turned. Our suspicious Of the direction
they have taken are pretty well confirmed
by what We know Of a previous loss, which
was not made public. 1t is painful to ex-
pose any citizen of whom We would be viii
ling to believe better things; but, if said
keggs are not returned, (and they may be
as privately as they were taken) We shall
be under the necessity Of making the indi-
vidual public example.
We welcome back our former towns.

enough to feed the negroes. Mr.. Jones is

tensivcly and says that he has never seen
such crops, both Of grain and vegetables,
as here since his return. He says this is
the place for people to come to that want
