FINE CANE AND CoRN.-Dr. Vaughn has
sent to cur office specimens of corn and
cane now growing on his plantation in
this parish. The cane has eight we'll
matured and coIoreJ joints, and is about
six feet long, This, he says, is about a
fair average specimen of his crop. Like
a sensible man, he eultivates no cotton
this year. He will make from thirty to
fifty hogsheads-alI be can afford to grind
this crop-but he determines to continue
the cultivation of cane hereafter so long
as labor can be procured. The corn sent
is of beautiful color, large ears with firm
and heavy grain. We have so seen no
superior corn this season and doubt much
il it car be excelIed. The only regret is
that his crops are not larger. in both ar

'Go on. Yes we shall. The doctor, he told
