A Connecticut sOrgum grower made an
interesting experiment in growing the corn
lsst season. He planted nine rows with
the hills four feet apart each way, and nine
osher rows nine feet apart, and the hills
Two teet assunder in the row-thus giving
2 lsss number Of hills by the latter than ths
former plantingi and yet he got fifteen
gallons Of molasses from the former nd
forty gallons from the latter; and in sddi-
ton he raised row Of potatoes between
the rows Of The latter. The sorgum needs
light and hence the great gain in the wide
IoWE.

ARTICLES are going the round of the news
paper press to the effect that Horace Greeley
has ceased to have any control of the
Tribune, and some accounts go so far as to
state that he has no connection with that
journal. There is not word of truth in
these reports. Greeley is not only the edi.
tor-in-chef still, but he does not write less
than two columns for every issue of the
paper, unless he happens to be out of town.

the Tribune, his salary, to whose advance
he has always been opposed, was raised

On the trial of case of murder in this
city, in the District Court, on Saturday last,
it was stated by the District Attorney that
there had been, since the organization of
Boise county, some sixty deaths by violence
within its limits, and yet not single con-
vietion for murder in the first degree had
ever taken place. We doubt if the legal
annals of any country on the continent can
present parallel to this state of things.
People have ceased to feel that life is pro-
tected by the law; they have ceased to feel
that punishment follows crime; and hence,
good men, who would gladly let the law
take its course if it could be enforced, feel
that they must either protect themselves
without the forms of law, or they will be a
prey to legal lawlessness worse than mob
rule itself. We know that this is bad state
OF things. We can realize why men feel
driven to the desperate expedient of lynch
law, and while We do not approve, We feel
hardly able to denounce it.-Idaho States

he who contracts to pay gold must deliver
gold when the proper time arrives, and, if
