EDS. JOURNAL I'm u recent issue Of the
JOURNAL WIS on extract from the Gallipolis
Journal purpor,insto show what tho bounty Of
substitute would be for one year, lie receiving
one grain Of wheat for the first week, two for
the next, and 70 on. The Gallipolis man has
made some mistake in his calculation, which
I beg leave to correct. In the first place the
number Of grains Of wheat due at the end Of
tho year would be 4,5o3,j 1852, 87O,4?1; also
the number in bushcl would Lc $4,000 in.
stead Of $4,000, allowing go grains to the
ounce; the number Of bushels in the above
would be 13,l03,57n,3l9i Which, at $500 a
bushel, amounts to SD, s07, ll0G3S; sum
differing materially from that given by the
Gallirolis paper. Yours Respectfully,
