LARGE EARS OF CORN.

As sample of what can be produced in York
County, Mr.. John Walker has sent US an ear Of
corn raised on his farm. The cob. measures four
teen inches in length and bears nearly nine hun
dred unusually large and plump grains. 1t is of
the ''Walker" variety, which has attained quite a
local reputation. " '.-. '-"
Unwilling to acknowledge the corn," Mr. A.
j. Daviney, has left with us an ear Of the ''gourd
seed" variety, the cob of which has upon it near
twelve hundred grains Both are fine specimens,
and we hope that each Of our friends have sufh-
cheney of the article for their own use and some
to spare to their neghhors, who may not be so well
favored ---. - ----
