The Alabama Convention passed an
ordinance ratifying all marriages Of

CROPS IN iowa. IN 1864.-From ohicial
tables just received from the Agricultural
Department in Washington, it il shown
that Iowa is the fourth State in the Union
in the amount grown of the great staple Of
the West-Corn. The quantity returned
as raised in 1864 being 81, ,261, 90 bushels:
that being exceeded only by the older
States of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Iowa
excels either Of the above. named States in
the amount of yield per 6cre, tho average
yield in Iowa being 36S bushels per acre.
and being larger average yield per acre
the Union.
Iowa also excels in raising wheat. having
produced in 1864, 12,64807 bushels Of
wheat, aud producing d larger yield per
acre than Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, OF any
Western State, excepting the State Of Uli.
nois, and exceeding in yield per acre the
great wheat growing States of New York
and Pennsylvania. No Western State
equaled Iowa in 1864 in yield per acre Of
oats, her yield being 50 bushels per acre
over the entire State; no other Western
State yielding that average. This State pro.
ducing ia 1854 of this crop the amount of
9,31s. 800 bushels. Many other Of the pro-
ducts of Iowa compare favorabiy with any
OF her sister States, and, considering the
amount Of land Under cultivation, II is be.
leved that no State shows greater ann9-
al product, or offers 80 great Inducements
to emigrants and ethers desiring perma-
nent, Profitable and pleasant homes.

a little girl Of five or six years. It is made

Of eight or ten years old, is equally pretty.
It is of light blue eilk-scarfs Of the same

of canopy tops, made up in silks of every
color, with gilded STATS, is reviving. They
are offered at prices varying from Eve dol

flowers, spangled with gilt and jet beads
