Colonel George Hancock, of Jefferson
county, KY, is said to be in possession of an
original -letterof General Washington dated
March, 1857. In it he declines to attend a
political convention in Philadelphia in the
following May because he had previously
declined to attend . meeting at Cincinnati
at the same time and place.
A Cincinnati paper says woman in that
city is looking for her husband, whom she
has lost after three days of married bliss,
and whose name she has forgotten.

THE ELECTION,

At the opening Of the polls at this place at O.
clock on Tuesday morning, a considerable crowd OF
colored sovereigns were already on the ground in
waiting. The colored vote was principally polled
by ii O'Clock in the morning. The arrangements
made to take the votes of black and white separ
rately, operated we'll, and no doubt had the effect
of preventing confusion. -. ~ .oo. ..... o.e,i
The election at this place, and every other voting
precinct We have heard from, was conducted quiet.
y and without the slightest symptom Of disturb
ance Of any kind. Whatever may have been the
motives of persons in authority asserting to the
contrary, the people of York are noted for their
good behavior, and the results of Tuesday have
fully vindicated them from the slander. At the
hour of going to press, We are unable to present
returns from the several boxes in, York. The DEM

majority ranging between four, hundred and fifty
and Eve hundred votes ,f...,, =, r,:..s,,, MO

EGYPTIAN WHEAT.

Mr. Thomas A. Gwinn, Of this County, has left
at the ENQUIRER Office several heads Of what he
calls Egyptian Wheat" together with small
parcel of -four produced from the same variety.
The heads have general resemblance to punches
of sorghum seed The grains are nearly white, of
an oval form and quite firm. The sample of -four
has about the same appearance as seconds pro-
duced from the common wheat, and bread made
from it is represented to be as nutritious as any
other. For mullins, batter-cakes ETC., it is said to
be unequaled. - 5..-
The wheat is very prolific, it being estimated
that soil which will yield ten bushels of corn per
acre, will produce eighty bushels of this grain.
Persons who may wish to examine this new pro-
duction can do so by calling at the ENQUIRER Of
fee. An advertisement in another column viii
give information as to how small quantity Of the
wheat may be obtained. 1''

SORGHUM MOLASSES.

We are gratifed to find that all of our farmers
have not abandoned the cultivation of the Chinese
sugar cane and the manufacture of molasses. A
small quantity of molasses was recently left with
us by Mr. J" A. J. Graham, of this County, made
for home use, which, upon examination, we find
to be superior to the West India Molasses, and to
compare favorably with the best "New Orleans. +"
The demand for good article of homemade mo-
lasses is much in excess of the supply, and we are
surprised that our farmers do not pay more atten-
ton to this want Every dollar sent abroad for
food that can be produced at home, makes our
section Of country that much the poorer!

A STRANGE FREAK.

Some time ago, we copied paragraph from an
exchange giving an account of a cat having per-
mitted rat to take the place of litter of kittens
of. which. she had been deprived. Mr.. Samuel
Hemphill of this County, has related to us some
what similar freak on the part of fee bitch kept
on his premises This bitch brought forth a litter
of puppies which were taken away from her, when
kitten at once assumed their place. The bitch
continued to suckle the kitten until it reached the
proportions of cat she, in the meantime, exhib-
ting the same fondness for it if it was one of
her own offspring
