small teats on the back of the bag in

think is sometimes termed the feather,

upper part of the bag, behind. twill
be noticed that some of our deepest
mixers have a, feather that is full
three inches wide, with a very large

Reader you may think this rather

should be in their new milk at two

HAzELToN, Gibson County-(Sec-
ond letter. August % Ed. p 60
When / wrote to you, two weeks ago,
the corn looked fattering In this
county; but it is now suffering for
want of rain It is firing as it is
called; partly owing to the dry wealth
er, and partly owing to the number of
plants in, hili. This is feature in
planting corn which has been over
/ looked by farmers generally. When
there is but one stalk in the hill no
ordinary dry Weather will FIRE" it,
Two stalks win do pretty well; but
when there are four or Eve, as is often
the case, dry weather, such as we now
have, proves srulnous. -se .s.5'. zE<
+ One important principle is to draw
the nouris hment as equally as possible
from the ground; hence the necessity
of having less plants in a hill, and the
rows nearer to each other, Ii the
ground were laid off two feet niue
inches each way, it would give thirty
six hills to the square rod, or $3.50
hills to the acre; so that, allowing one
stalk to each bill. and ono ear to each
stalk, and one hundred ears to make
a bushel of shelled corn. it would
make yield of 81 1875 bushels to the
acre. And then you may add to,this
smaller ear to each stalk, producing
half the quantity of the larger ear,
which would make the yield 81 15-25
bushels pei. acre. But, supposing the
hills are planted three feet apart, Civ
ing thirty six bills to the square of
eighteen feet, o,or $3.50 hills to the
acre, the yield would be, on the same
ratiog 70 81 100 \ bushels per acre;
whilst the ordinary way of planting
may not produce As bushels to the
acre. f.afa->..sqat ~ el'o1s

A JEWEL Losr.-Charley De Long
has lost one of the stones that belong 20
his pin. He thought when he first dis.
covered his loss that it had fallen out
when he was in the Court House, yes
terday morning. He looked for his
pin, when he saw one Of its stones were
gone, to the rug-carpet of the court
room, Immediately beneath him, and
there u piece of tin-foil which had come
from n tobacco paper, had been wedged
in one Of the crevices of the roughing,
and worn by treading that it glistened
like a diamond. Charley exclaimed to
himself: elbow lucky I am to find my
stone as quick as | loose it." But when
he stopped down, he found it was no
case of find, but a blind. The stone
was u real diamond, and not II bastard
stone, as might possibly be inferred
from the fact that a piece of tiu-foil re-
sembled it. A chunk Of tin-foil,
compacted and worn smooth shines
very brightly. Charley cannot i'm
agine how it was that the stone was
lost, as it was very firmly set, and the
grasping finger nails of the frame do not
appear to have been sprung. He says
it is possible that he may have lost it
while knocking some boxes to pieces,
yesterday morning, as he remembers
about his hammer catching in his watch
chain, and thinks the chain Topped up
over his pin. The diamond might have
been twitched out in that way. Almost
any one acquainted with De Long will
recollect what u magnificent pin he wore
on his shirt bosom. As he wore low
cut vests, his shirt bosom and pin al
ways protruded considerably, and he
has been warned several times by ladies,
who are much more accustomed to wear
ing jewelry than are the majority OF men,
that it was dangerous,-the way he
wore his pin that some day he would
rub ; ~ainst something and lose one
or more of his beautiful stones. As
soon rs the loss was announced, on yes
terday noon, there was a grand search
made on the Court room. floor, by law
yers, witnesses, jurors, and others.
Judge MARBLE went to the pawn-brokers
auu jewelers., Suu uotiucu tucui VI tHc
loss, and so put them on their guard
against purchasing. In the course Of
his notifications, he learned that Bob.
Graves had also, recently, lost one of
his stones,-a splendid diamond, Of the
first water. Charley says he might
have lost his, while fixing his hen coop,
yesterday morning, in which case one
Of his chickens may have picked it up
and guarded it,-as they say young
chickens will. But it is not likely that
it was lost and eat up in that way. We
hope we shall soon have the pleasure of
recording the fact Of the finding Of that
which has been lost by De Long and
Bob. Graves. Graves lost diamond
was worth $3.50 Charley De Longs
nearly or quite IS much. Any person
finding either will be suitably rewarded
by returning the same to the owners

INFORMATION ASKED.

The Pacific Railroad, running from Sacra-
men,o into the Sierras by way OF Dutch
Flat is called the "Cenlral Pacific" The
road from the East, which is being pushed
with such wonderful rapidity towards our
Eastern borders, is called the "Union Pacific"
The Government subsidies for this extends
all the way to our State line. There is un-
derstood to be no good feeling between the
two companies and the latter will not con-
!. nect with the former. but will seek to enter
California by some other route. Upon this
sulipct the Gold Hill Nes0s, some time since,
contained very significant article. We re
produce it here.
ut is reported that the Union Pacific
Railroad have got an injunction on the Gen.
tra Pacific Company restraining the latter
from laying rail ahead Of continuity from
tide water. The Company can grade as
much, within 800 miles Of continuous rail as
they may choose; but are not allowed to lay
track. Such is the report. The Union Pa
ciic is building road at the rate Of two miles
day; and themselves claim that they will
be at the Sierras with a locomotive. ten days
from New York, direct, during 1870. That
Company intend to make Crossing in this
State and over the mountains into California,
on their own responsibility. They will adopt
the Pacervle or Feather River route. If
the Placerville people get their road twenty
miles this side of their city by 1869, their
central transit will he accepted. Otherwise
the Feather River or Beckwith Pass route will
be adopted by tie Union Pacific"
Apropos of the Central Pacific, little
item has come to our knowledge, which
needs explanation. BY the act Of April, 1863,
among the conditions upon which the State
granted to that company subsidy of $lO,.
900 per mile, was one that the material for
the construction of the State Capitol should
be transported over it free of charge. The con-
tract and plans Of the building required it to
be built Of granite. which was conveyed on
this railroad. Recently, however, Governor
Low and other Black Republicans, who have
the superntendency of the work, changed
the plans aud adopted brick for granite.
This releases the railroad from thousands Of
tons Of transportation. Now, the question
here occurs, was the change made from gran
ite to brick made by the Commissioners, some
OF whom are interested in the railroad /,
prompted by desire to benefit the State, or
was it to benefit the Railroad Company. We
hope some of our Black Republican oontem-
poraries will give us some light on the sub
]cct.- Examiner.
