AGRICULTURAL COMPENSATION

AGRICULTURAL CONDENSATION,
Tie census Of 1850 shows that the laspes..
average crop per acre Of wheat Was In Massa-
chusetts, 16 bushels; the smallest in Geo,-
gia, bushels: Of Indian corr, largest, c NJ
necacut, 40 bushels smallest South Caroliua,
Ii bushels; Of rye, largest Ohio, Is bu.hsls;
smallest. Virginia, 5 bushels; Of oats, largest
Iowa, So bushels; smallest North Carolina,
10 buahels; Of Irish potatoes, la-gezt Texas,
so buetels; emallest Alabama, 60 bushels
Although wheat is the very first crop to e1.
haust land, Massachusetts, the Oldest aud
naturally the poorest State, produces The
heaviest crop per acre, exceedIng all the 81.
cal'ed wheat growing States. This clearly
slows That Massachusetts, stands IN the same
category with England and France, as q
stata where the soil Is constantly euriching
instead Of impoveristlng. She has her mar
ket at home. and every farmer In Massachn-
setts can, like the farmer In England, sell
his straw for more than the lows or Sclay-
epian farmer gets for his wheat. On the
other hand. Georgia, which puts be. wheat
Into cotton, can only afford to pay for 1t ont

In 1ndian com, Connecticut, naturally AZ
poor as Massachusetts, must evidently have
vastly improved on the quality Of her soil by
tnlage, to raise more per acre than We pro-

Hence her soll is enEiching. South Caro-

would piece of steel, only taking care to

THE PREsIDENT,s PLAN

We never had much faith in the Presi-
dents theory of reconstruction. In fact
we doubt if he had, as his practice has gem
orally been directly contrary. But we have
generally approved of his practice and we
ike the ring of the four points he has sub
mittee as sine qua non to the Southern
States. They run as follows:
l. The Lately revolted States to declare
their ordinances Of secession null and void.
2. Repudiate all debts contracted in be.
half of the rebellion.
8. Pass laws for the protection of the col
ored man rights as freeman. And,
4. Ratify the Amendment to the Consti-
tuition abolishing and forever prohibiting
slavery.
We have no doubt that more will be re-
quired and made known in good time either
by the President or Congress. Until then
these viii answer as good beginning and
will doubtless afford food for thought to
quite number of rebels North, as well as
South, especially when taken in connection
with the results Of the late elections.

Mysterious Disappearance of Hon Pres
ton King

TON 1AAHE
NEW YoRK, Nov ia.
A little boy and and girl saw a gentleman
answering the description Of Preston King
Pump overheard from one of the Hoboker
ferry boats on Monday morning. They
cave been sent for, and from them further
particulars may be learned. The hat brough
to the city has been recognized by Mr.. Thur
low Weed, Mr. King private secretary
and Mr. Usher, deputy naval officer.
Mr. King stated to a very intimate friend
on Monday night that he wsuld not see him
again. Knowing that Mr.. Cling had been
for some time laboring under a depression
of spirits, he took but little notice of the
matter. His health has been poor for some
and latterly had shown indications of a sof
tening Of the brain He had only returned
to the city last Saturday from visit to his
home in st Lawrence county. He went to
the Astor Pouse, and there remained with
his friend. On Monday morning he arose,
dressed himself and said to his relatives,
who slept in the same room with him, that
he wished to take a walk and preferred going
alone and about eight o'clock ne went up
town.
Since his return from the country, he had
suffered more than ever from depression OF
the mind
He was next heard of on board ferry
boat returning from Christopher street to
Hoboken.
1t was reported yesterday morning that a
man had jHflped overheard -Four of Mr..
Kings friends visited the boat to day, and
found that a gentleman answering the des-
criptioh Of Mr. King, had entered the boat
yesterday morning at nine O. clock had re-
r,tasrod an Tho .fovY, and and WI han tha bnaf
was midway In the stream, was seen by two
children, and the passengers on that end of
the boat to take off his hat and jump over
board The alarm was given and the boat
stopped but the body was not seen by any
one on board As the tide was falling at
the time, it is possible that the body was
washed out TO sea.
The men employed on the boat had seen
man answering Mr.. King description get
on board of the boat
All parts Of this story are strangely con-
frmed.
Mr.. King has been much perplexed ever
since his appointment over affairs at the Gus
tom House, which weighed heavily on his
mind and undoubtedly eliminated in his
DEATH
Those most intimate with him, have care
fully watched his falling health and recently
he has been attended by a companion, who
occupied room with him at the Astor
House, and watched his movements. Mr.
King was bachelor.

TROUBLE ON THE BORDER.

Fiolo the Hartford Colraat, NoC l3
We heard, through a semi official source
last evening, that trouble was brewing on
the Canada border, arising from the deser-
ton of British soldiers Our informant sta
ted that a Lieutenant in Her Majestys army
crossed with a company Of marines from
Canada into Maine for the purpose of arres-
ting several deserters. Upon their arrival
on neutral soil, " the marines would not
acknowledge the authority of their command
ing officer, declareing themselves free, and
refused to return with him. Application
was made to the United States authorities to
have the men given up, which was refused
and, it was stated that there was danger of
an outbreak The authorities at Washing
ton were advised, and Hancock S corps was
ordered to rendezvous in Maine. This is
substantially the statement made to us, that
there is movement of troops is certain.
The company attached to Hancock S corps
stationed in this city received orders yester-
day TO report at Augusta, Me. and seventy
two men, all of the company who were able
to start left here on the mail train last night.
From the Hartford Post, Noe 13.
The veteran Reserves, stationed in this
city, left for Augusta, Me-, on the train last
evening. 1t was rumored that it was either
to prevent the Fenians from invading Canada
or to prevent the British soldiers from cap
turing deserters from their army who have
fed to the United States
