the dogs in this country may be set down

Heavy Ir0n 0f COrn.

DIR. Nichols, the editor of the Boston
Journal of Chemistry, in the last number
of that paper, gives an account OF his
experiment in raising corn, which shows a
remarkable degree of success. The crop
and field were both carefully measured and
the result shows that ttoo hundred and nine
bushels of ears have been produced to the
acre, and the corn is of the best quality,
and the field was not touched but once,
with either cultivator or hoe from the time
OF planting.
The field was a green sward turned over
in the autumn of 1868, occupying posi-
tion midway between hills and lowland. In
the spring, upon the furrows were spread
four cords of barnyard manure to the acre,
and this was narrowed In and the soil fne-
ly pulverized with Geddes harrow The
hills were three feet apart, and into them at
planting vas placed a handful of ''bone
and ashes mixture; this was covered with
film of earth, and upon it five kernels of
corn we're dropped.
We attribute the success of the crop to
fall plowing manure which held the liquid
excrement of the animals through spring
pulverization of the soil, applying the ma
nure to the surface, and to the use of bone
and ash mixture. We believe the infiu-
ence of this fertilizer was very essential in
the production OF the crop. The cost of
the corn per bushel, including in the esti-
mate one-half of the cost of the fertilizers,
is As cents. This does not take into ac-
count the fodder. which, in our view, has
O high va ne. The market price of corn of
this quality Is now 81, % per bushel

BUcKwHEAT CAKES IN SARATOGA STYLE.
This is the season for buckwheat cakes, and
| 1T may be news to some of onr readers to
tell them that the Saratoga mineral waters
are largely used in winter for mixing them.
The combination of salt and soda in the
waters renders them complete substitute
for all other preparations. All that is me-
cessary is to beat the -four into the water
so as to form q batter, and the cakes are
ready to bake at once, or they can be mix

A Mysterious Tragedy in New York.

Anew York dispatch of the Sd, gives, in
brief. the particulars of terrible tragedy,
recalling. in some Of its features. the fa-
nous Helen Jewett murder, and invested,
in addition, with the shadows of dark n:ys-
terry, occurred at Ne. 60 Elizabeth street.
last evening, house of assignation, kept
by Mrs. Beck. Among the visitors to and
occupants of back room every Sabbath
afternoon for the past five months, have
been an unknown gentleman and closely
veiled lady. Nothing was known of the
parties by Mrs. Beck, except that the man
engaged the room every previous Saturday;
that the mysterious woman, whose face she
had nsver seen, met him at the usual time
last evening.
At $50 o'clock pistol shots were heard in
the chamber. Mrs. Beck and policeman
hastily broke in the door, and found the
nan lying on the floor insensible,. with q
pistol shot in the right temple, and his
companion, handsome, and apparently
refined, intelligent lady. lying near him
with CHASTITY wound in the left temple.
The lovers were taken to Belvidere Hos
pital, where they died shortly after aniv-
ing, and without speaking word to clear
ap the mystery. From papers found in
their pockets it is believed that the name of
he man is Geo. Bowman, and that of the
woman Annie Mcnamara; and TIA. they
