We learn from Western papers, and from tra-
vellers, that the corn is doing remarkably we'll.
The ground having dried so as to permit Sc
eond working, the roots now are striking deep
and spreading broad, while the dark green
blades are Ruttering in the breeze and shining in
the sun. Everywhere it is from two to three
weeks late The retarded germ presses forward
with vgor it would not have exhibited if plan
ting had been done in season In the Arctic
Zone, grass and flowers push through the mel
ting snow, and, before the icy cold rivulets flow
freely, tie forest and the glades are green The
travellers say that the corn laughs Everywhere,
the hot July lays the foundation, if no mshap
befall, of nm abundant harvest in September
The Importance of the Western corn crop was
never orer-estimated. Upon it rests prosperity
in trade and finance. 1t makes beef pork, nut.
tom and wool it gives heart to the dairy, mus
Gle to men, and it freights fleets. 1t is the spinal
column of American commerce. Few have an
idea of the vastness of our western corn-6eds.
They spread through the Scioto, Muskingum
and Miami bottoms, and interlcck for 800 miles
along the borders of Indiana and Ohio. They
are TO be found through the wide valleys of the
White River and the Wabash, and interspersed
with the oak timber to the verge of the Grand
Prairie. Almost equally extensive are they on
the beautiful praires of Northern Indiana and
Southern Michigan, completing region four hum
dred and fifty by two hundred and fifty miles.
If this lisa broad country Of corn, much broader is
that Of Illinois and Wisconsin for here the fields
extend $50 miles in one direction, and 200 in an
other. The soil has no superior on the globe,
for it is of an average depth of two feet, and as
favorable for corn as highly manfred garden
in New England valley Black and srongy,
the foot presses on it as ON q bed ofmoss. There,
in thousand localities, one may stand on ris-
ing grounds, and between him and the faint
horizon of timber, he will see nothing but corn
1t is true there are other crops, which elsewhere
would be called enormous, but, in comparison,
they are inse nifcant.
This is not ALL On his iron seat the Western
farmer drives, across his own land, the flashing,
red two-horse cultivator, 500 miles west of the
Mississippi to the banks of the Big Blue in Kan
SOS. lie is also seen driving across Iowa, and is
even following after track-layers of the Pacific
Railroad in Nebraska. You may see him, also,
crossing the fertile plateaus of Minnesota toward
the st. Peters and the villages of the Red River
of the North for here, the isothGrnnl line brings
warm air from the Southwest, permitting corn
to mature. 1t is true that on the extreme borders
and on much intervening ground, wide sections
remain to be cultivated still, tile pioneers are
there; Others will follow rapidly and fill all the
vacancies. lfall the Western corn-helds were
placed together, there would be solid block of
corn at least 200 miles square.--N y. Tribune.

A Man los Years Old.

Baltimore boasts Of one of the most remark
BILE cases OF longevity in the country. Persons
who are in the habit Of traversing Calvert street
may have frequently observed at the corner OF that
and Mulberry street very elderly gentleman, 9ui-
city seated on chair or leisurely promenadins in
the vicinity, regarding attentively every object
which passes him, and, though mostly retiCent
yet prompt to reply to any remarks addressed to
him. There he enjoys the quiet and repose of old
age, looking out upon the world more than u cen.
fury older than when be was first ushered into it.
Our ancient friends name is John kits. He was
born at Bloody Run, in Bedford county, Pa, in
1862, and is therefore, now in the l05th year Of
his age In l776, when Il years of age, he WAS
a member of the First Pennsylvania Regiment of
the Revolutionary War. He WAS in the battle
of Yorktown, and occupied at one time the posi-
ton of errand boy or messenger to Washington
and La Fayette. He retains II distinct recotlec-
ton of the personal manners and habits of those
llustrious heroes of our first struggle with Great
Britain. He was too old to be drafted In the War
Of 1912, but he entered the army, and remained
about year
He has no constitutional disease; of course
suffers somewhat with debility but no moves
about without assistance; has dark keer eye
is quick and appreciative in his responses to
queries hears remarkably well his eyesight is
good he never uses glasses. He has most ex-
cellent memory Like most very old people,
however, he remembers the events of bis earlier
years better than those of recent occurrence

HARVEST HoME.-There will be a Harvest
Home and Pic Mic, in the grove near the Wesley
an Chapel, commencing on Thursday, the first
day of August, and continuing Friday and Sat-
urday, the object of which is to assist in the
completion of the "Forest Institute" q building
intended for the purposes of education. 1t is
hoped by the managers that the turnout will be
large, and that none who can will refuse to aid
in this laudable undertaking. No pains will be
spared on their part TO make the affair entertain
ing and pleasant to all who may be present dur
ing its continuance. Several gentlemen have
consented to deliver addresses appropriate to the
occasion, among whom is the Rev. T. S. G.
Smith. Knowing the managers as we'll as we
do, and the praiseworthy object for which they
are exertng themselves, we feel called upon to
urge our friends TO favor them with their pres
ence, and to aid this undertaking in any other
way that may suggest itself

A Contrast.

In 1876, Fort Brown, on the west bank of the
Rio Grande, was invested by the Mexican forces.
Its immediate surrender was demanded, with u
threat of severe treatment in case of refusal 1t
was then subjected to bombardment of one hun
dred and sixty consecutive hours, in the course
of which Major Brown, its commander was kill
led, but it held out until relieved by General
Taylor.
Among the defenders of the fort was Captain
Braxton Bragg, of the United States artillery
Among the deserters was negro servant of
Captain Bragg, who made his escape to the Mex
lean lines This man was captured some fifteen
or sixteen months afterward, by the American
troops when they took possession of the City OF
Mexico. lie then stated that he bad been lieu
tenant in the Mexican service-a statement not
credited by our informant, though it was be-
leved that he had been in the service of the Mex
leans either as soldier, camp follower, or some
thing OF that sort.
Such is the account of the affair given us by
very good authority 1t may be inaccurate or
defective in some particulars, but we have rea-
son to believe it to besubstantially correct. The

CoNeaEss. extraordinary meeting Of the

CoNsaEss.-The extraordinary meeting of the
Forteth Congress adjourned, on Monday last, to
the 2lst day of November next. For all the
good they have done, or are likely to do, it
would have been blessing to the country if
they had adjourned forever, instead of till No
vember. No Congress which has ever convened
in this country ever met with 80 little hope or
prospect of good TO the public, MS the Fortie,h or
present Congress, nor has any previous Congress
ever been so determined upon evil, as that just
adjourned. 1t is difficult to find, from the COM
mencement of their career one single commend
able act accomplished by them. They seen to
forget that there are white people yet in the
country, whose servants they of right are; and
OF all their acts, little can be found which does
not look to the advancement of the negro and
the debasement and oppression of the white race.

House BREAKING On Thursday night of last
week, the warehouse of John L. Williams, at
Havre de Grace, was entered through one of the
windows. The instrument used for the purpose
of effecting an entrance was q small and hand
somely made crow-bar, evidently gotten up ex-
pressly for the use of the profession, and with
which the shutter was forced open. We pre-
sumo that these intruders had their trouble for
their pains, as our correspondent says nothing
about any loss being sustained by Mr. Williams.
The crowbar is in the possession of the proprie-
tor Of the warehouse, who we believe, proposes
10 deliver it to whomsoever comes forward and
proves property.
