ercnce to the action Of the Iowa Mutual
Insurance Co. This is not the first time
we have noticed the promptness and
fairness Of this Company in adjusting
losses:
Ed. Advertiser:-In speaking Of my
loss by fire recently, you stated correctly,
that had an insurance of $3.50 on my
houses and furniture. And now, with
your permission, would like to inform
the public through the medium of your
paper of the treatment | have received
from the Iowa Mutual Insurance Compa-
ny and their agent, j. +. L. Carey, with
regard to the matter of this insurance.
On the day after the fire occurred their
agent voluntarily called and rendered me
essential service in preparing my claim,
in aiding me to make an inventory of my
personally lost, and arranging proper
vouchers. As soon as practicable my
claim with the requisite inventory and
vouchers were presented to the Compa-
ny, at their Office, when it was allowed
without equivocation and promptly paid.
cheerfully commend the Company for
their fairness in adjusting and prompt
ness in paying my demand, aud acknow-
edge my obligations to their age' for
his courtesy, and would advise my friends
to insure in responsible home Company,
especially when their rates are lower
than foreign ones.

II egro Stampede.

Wills, the people Of our county. and
particularly Of this locality, have, hereto
fore, congratulated themselves uron the
loyalty Of the slave c!emcmt ainongs, u,
they must now admit, thai here, as else
where, the negrp is incapable Of avoiding
the shaft of corruption, that has been level

solatcl and occasional case Of slrkiu. the
reel procal obligation that the slave is un-
der to his master. but has become the
wholesale, preincdilatcd and organized
business of this branch of our population.
On Saturday night last, about fifty negro
men left their homes in this vicinity and
have not since been heard from. Since
then. We daily hear Of Others that arc mis-

Government connives at this certain dcs.
truction of our interests, or the statements
OF Mr. Revcrdy johnson and Others, to the
contrary are correct, We know not; but We
know h!s.-tlcsc negroes find shelter and
protection somewhere, ami the laws Of the
State are powcrlcss 10 reach them. The
question We learn. is soon to be brought
before the authorities. in legal shape. and
We presume, it will then be discovered
whether the Government really seeks the
abduction Of our slaves, or they arc be-

SELECTING SEED CORN.

y correspondent of the Boston Guilt
vator offers the following suggestions res
pccting the proper selection Of corn for
planting:
/. Pick the ears that set nearest the
ground
>. Those cars having short foot stalk
). FROM stalks having the most ears
Generally but one ear on stalk is proper
for seed. and that usually the second ear
If the first ear is as good take that.
1. Never take from stalk having but
one ear, if stalks can be found having two
or more ears.
5. Always take ears that nrc filed out
up to the end, and tina, run beyond the
hnsk, it such can I've had
d Lay up four or five times as much as
will probably be wanted.
+. :. When YOU come TO plant, before
Smelling. break every ear and see If the
pith of the cob is dried up and hollow. for
If il is not the com is not fully ripe. Then
hell off the butt aud tip till you come 10
the long grains.

the crops may be greatly Increased. Great
crops can never be raised from stalks hay
ing but one ear The carrlcssneSs e
farmers in selecting seed corn is one great
cause why corn crops are generally of So
little profit, So far as know, the general
practice Of farmers in selecting seed corn.
is to take the best and fairest ears in the
pile, without knowing il there were o:'e or
NOR. cars on stalk. aud u,ost likely there
