Good Ne'cs for he Hungry.- New

will give our readers some idea of the mex
haustiblc fertility of the Western conntrv :
Within six weeks, that is to say, by the
lst Of October, will be harvested one of the
largest corn crops ever produced in the Uni
ted States. Nothing can look more luxuri.
ant than the fields of growing corn that
coyer thousands Of acres in the valies of
the Ohio and Missouri Rivers, where one
half of the entire crop in the United States
is produced. a writer in one ofthe Yves.
tern papers calculates that, as bushcl of
corn contains sixty solid pounds of grain,
the crop of the current year, even if il
should not exceed 80,0000J0 bushels, will
amount to four thousand eight hundred
million (4,800,0DO, ,O0O) pounds of grain,
besides an equal weight in fodder. The
value to the country of such an aggregate
of agricultural wealth, springing from n
single crop, is not easily conceived. Though
wheat realizes higher price per bushol in
the market, its positive value rs life sus
tanning product is much inferior % that of
maize, since the former averages but little
more than onc-third rs much to the acres in
the quantity grown. The statistics of the
production ofcorn in the United States for

No wonder that the farmers of the West
exult in the prospects afforded by their
lnxuriant fields. They have surely been
disappointed, as no staple Of agriculture
seems so well adapted to resist the changes
of our climate. Taking the last twenty
years together, the average yield per acre
in the "Buckeye State" is not far from
thirty three bushels. Corn is commodny

The BLAoKBERRY--In the great profus-
ion of our products we have heretofore al
lowed this valuable fruit to blossom, mature
and wither upon the vine with contemptuous
indifference. Or at best we have only used
it for the manufacture of gallon or two of
wine or vinegar for domestic purposes In
point Of fact it has its commercial value, and
with the large surplus population we have
here, might be mada exceedingly valuable
Any enterprising man who will secure the
necessary labor can realize large sums upon
this fruit, by gathering the crop, and sending
it to market dried. or in the shape of black
berry wine, which possesses as we all know,
valuable medicinal properties. This attempt
on our part you'd not be mere experiment
The system of gathering and drying this fruit
which we recommend, is extensively prac-
ticed in western North Carolina, and the town
of Salem, in Forsythe county, annually ey-
ports large quantities. These pass through
our sister town from time to time on their
way to the Northern markets, where they al
ways command remunerative price, and any
parties who place the luxuriant crops of this
region under contribution will fnd it greatly
to their advantage
The lock Of every fence and the rugged
banks of every ditch, are full ofinvitations to
our people to collect and make available the
rich abundance Of the blackberry crop

worth, we have borne testimony from time

the city. Major Simms has peculiar claims
On our sympathy and respect. He belonged
to that class Of officers who abandoned large
pay, certain promotion, and recognized po-
stion. to link his fate with the doubtful for
tunes of the late Confederacy, and in his new
sphere of duty has worked with assiduity, in
season and out Of season to discharge his la
borous duties. If his pay is no more than
our contemporary estimates it to be, $50, per
month, we trust that the proper authorities
will do justice to his real merit and the repu-
tation of the town by bringing his compensa-
ton up to living standard

NovELs.-"Young ladies read novels in Or
der to learn philosophy" Dominion.
We fancy our contemporary is in error in
this novel opinion. The fair ladies who read
Scott, or Thackary, or Dickens, are students
OF life. They inform themselves, through the
pages OF these writer's of the realities of the
great world; and if they are deep in CONVEX
sation, it only shows that they have pro-
fitted by the experience of others. Whether
those Others be real or ideal people, matters
very little, SO the lessons taught are duly UNI
derstood. And who, pray, in view of the
harsh and bitter realities of life, would de-
prive them of the delight of wandering in
that enchanted land, opened to them by
great writer, Scott or a Sauine?
The ills they read of instruct without en-
differing their lives, and the pleasures they
derive are bent with wholesome reflections,
which cannot fail to produce some good eff
feet.
But, while we enter this plea in behalf of our
fair young townswomen, albeit, our hairs are
too grey for us to become a esquire of danes.
we may be permitted to whisper to them, that
they cannot be too cautious in the books they
read
Are we known by our companions, as
keen old Latin declares is the case? If 80,
what companions more dangerous than bad
books?
The healthy books are those which paint
US life and manners; the doubtful ones those
which attempt to teach ''philosophy" Dream,
then, over the first class, if you will, young
ladies, but pitch the latter out of doors.
