recently discovered in Richlasd county.
1t was presented to DR.. Coblentz by Prot.
Wayne, OF Cincinnati, the author of an in
teresting account of its discovery. 1t has
the appearance of being genuine, but it has

glistens.
The corn crop in Claibourne and jack
son townships, with few exceptions, far
surpass the crops!in the vicinity of Marys-
Vile. In jackson township especially, the
crops look well, and we were informed BY
an old citizen there, that he would average
sixty bushels to the acre. The pasture
likewise looks well, and upon the whole
we have not seen as fruitful fields any
where in Union county as we have seen il
this township.
The corn crop looks bad ovel
the State. In Greene county tn,
KeniG Torchlight says: The pro
longed and torrid parchedness of tn,
weather hereabouts is shriveling to deatl
all vegetable life. The corn is suffering
fearfully. If the rain holds off much longer
there will be a great quantity of dried
roasting ears in this county. Since th,
above was put in type the blessed rain hai
come in Union county.
On the subject of marketing, and the low
price of provisions, the Zanescil1e Time
says that dollars worth of provisions
will go as far at the present rates as before
the war; we met lady yesterday morning
weighed down with corn, tomatoes and Gu
cumbers, who informed us this over flow
ing basket of vegetables was bought for
twenty-five cents. Meat has come down
alittie, butter brings fifteen cents and not
very plenty, but in the way of peaches,
plums, berries. apples, sweet potatoes, and
such luxuries, nothing could be finer and
upon more reasonable prices" That's a
cheap enough place to live in, sure.
