Of dashing manners he endeavor-

the gentler sex. He avoided any
occupation, and when asked why
he didn't work, or how he could
get along (having been a poor
boy without means, he boasted
that he could get $50 per month
overseeing negroes south. After
remaining here a short time he
left, returning in the course of
timo with a fine horse. Officers
came in search of the young man
and horse, arrested Back and
lodged him in the Washington
county Jail at Salem. He has since
been removed to Greensburg, De-
catur, Ind, the county from which
he stole the horse. where he is now
awaiting his trial, though it is not
likely he will be troubled greatly
for this crime, as another and a
greater charge will be brought
against him. Yesterday evening the

meant business among US. One

Economy OF seed Inla PntIuE.

Experiments have recently tended
to prove that roots and grains by
being planted much further apart
than is usual, will actually yield
larger crops than are now to be OBJ
taIned. This has been shown to be
the case with potatoes, and more
recently with wheat, It is found
that the wheat plant increases above
the ground in proportion as its roots
have room to develop without any
interference with those OF its neigh
bors. In one experiment, wheat
thus treated, furnished ears contain
ing over one hundred and twenty
grains. II was found, in the course
Of the same experiments, that on
every fully developed cereal plant
there is one ear superior to the rest ;
and that each ear has one grain
which, when planted, will be more
productive than any other. BY So.
Letting therefore, the best grain Of
the best ear, and continuing to ex.
pertinent through several genera,
tons, point will be reached bey0
