Babhoo Keshub Chunder Sen, on his return to
Calcutta, organized an "Jndian reform associa-
tor" for the promotion of the following objects:
1. The advancement of woman. 9. General and
technical education 3. Cheap literature for the
poor. 4. Temperance. And 5. Charity. The
association publishes journal called the Sulad
Sumachar, or Cheap News, which is sold at less
than cent.
A free fight took place the other day among
the Shakers at Pleasant Hill, or Shakertown,
near Harrodsburg, KY, in which fists and stones
were freely used, and one of the pugnacious
broadbrms was stabbed with pocket knife by
another of the fraternity. Such an occurrence
would have seemed almost incredible had it been
located in any other state than Kentucky. No
arrests were made, as it was the first fight the
Shakers had INDUCED in for several years.
A remarkable story is told of lady in New
York, whose husband having died abroad, gave
orders for his body to he embalmed and sent
home, and in the interim was married again.
BY an unfortunate train OF circumstances the
mortal remains of her dear departed" were
brought by an express wagon to her door, ut
the very moment she was receiving the congrat-
ulations of her friends on her second marriage.
The first twenty days of the present month
give an export OF 81 ,6S7 bushels of corn, against
1926 in the same period last January. This is
a healthy indication, indicative of a good corn
trade the coming year. Should this anticipated
revival take place. the west will find market
for its surplus corn, and be by so much richer
ana more prosperous. Last year the corn semi
from Buffalo and OSwego by canal was 6,O0O,OO0
bushels, while this year the canal transporta-
ton is estimated as probably reaching nearly
five times as much, or 100000 bushels.

TERRIFIC COMBAT WITH A MAsTIFF-Mr
Timerman of Greene county, n. Y, was recently
the owner of mastiff, which he had raised
and which was about two years old, and the
largest dog in the county. On Friday afternoon
Mrs. Iimerman and lady neighbor, named
Mrs. Eliza Huff, returning home from a visit to
Catskill, found the dog occupied the gate and
would not let them pass. Mrs. Timerman or
dered him away, but the mastiff would not obey
until they both had thrown several stones at
him, when he took refuge under the kitchen, A
short time after Mrs. Huff, while assisting Mrs.
Iimerman in carrying some things from the
mouse TO the kitchen, saw that the dog with
stealthy steps was advancing slowly toward
her. She, seeing she could not stop the dog by
word or gesture, at once prepared to defend her
self, as flight was impossible. AS soon as the
dog was near he he rose on his hind feet, and
attempted to seize Mrs. Huff by the throat
Then ensued combat between the woman
and dog of about ten minutes duration and
which for its ferceness scarcely has parallel
in such encounters. Mrs. Huff first threw out
her left arm, which the dog bit fearfully near
the wrist, and with her right hand eau rht the
lniuriated brute by the throat, and as soon as
her left hand was released from the grip of the
dog she seized his under jaw with it, Knowing
from every circumstance that this combat would
be lengthy one, as soon as the excitement had
subsidized Mrs. Huff ordered the family 10 close
every door but one, towards which she gradu-
ally but slowly drew the dog. Before reaching
the steps in front of the open door, the dog had
for short time partially disengaged himself,
and bit Mrs. Huff severely on the left thigh.
By this time the heroic woman became calm
and collected, and again seized the dog by the
under jaw and throat, and then again began to
draw the brute toward the open door. Finally
she reached the door steps and began to walk
up them backwards, and when at the top she,
by summoning all her strength, and by one vio-
lent effort, threw the dog to the ground on his
back. Before the animal could recover his feet
and ascend the steps Mrs. Hoff had entered the
house and closed the door, and at once tainted.
Her wounds were examined and dressed by a
skiliful physician, who pronounced her case al
most hopeless. Her face, arms and limbs a
few hours after, had swollen to double their
natural size, the poison from the bite haviny, in
few hours, diffused itself throughout her whole

THE NEXT COTTON CRoP.-The course which
is to be pursued by the planters of the south
concerning the acreage to be put under cotton
this spring is matter of great interest at the
present time. The production of the staple has
reached that point where it is likely to bring
loss TO the planter, unless the natives of India,
Brazil and Egypt turn their attention to other
pursuits. Cotton can be produced as cheaply in
the southern states as in other quarters of the
globe The advantages of climate and soil are
so superior as to more than counterbalance the
high price of labor. But, in close contest, it
will be found that the cotton producers of India,
Egypt and Brazil are not to be easily forced to
abandon the culture of this staple. Their wants
are few, and they are content with extremely
small profits They will, in all probability, con-
tinue to produce just enough cotton to overstock
the world, when the American crop exceeds
$500 900 bales.
The losses sustained by the south on the in
coming crop of cotton have induced a general
belief that in 1871 small crop will be planted.
With cotton at present prices there Is little no
profit to the planter. He has labored during
the year for the public. The world is benefited
by cheap cotton, but he is not. 1t is reduced to
Ques ton of profit or loss, and if there is
general belief throughout the southern states
that current prices are normal, and not likely
to improve, less cotton will be produced, beyond
doubt. 1t is yet too early to state with exact
ness what is the intention of planters. We land
III law wv hIiOlC uOtsl tAPtCI W SCe a
great reduction in cotton acreage, but, as faith
full chronclers of facts, we must say that moth
ing has yet transpired to warrant the assertion
that such will really be the case.
From all parts of the south we hear of strong
demand for labor Planters are securing all the
available labor in their respective districts This
shows that the planters are far from being dis
couraged, and that the whole laboring force of
the south is likely to be fully employed during
the present season. While many planters are
holding out for reduction in wages, others are
paying last years rates. These facts do not
warrant the conclusion that large cotton crop
is in anticipation. We can only infer that as
much land as possible will be cultivated, and
that planters expect that a more prosperous
year is in store for them. The land will be put
under cotton, corn, and other staple as the PLAN
ter deems proper.
In our own state, which produces more cotton
to tne acre than any other, there will be great
increase in the production of sugar. The old
sugar planters are increasing the working force,
and those who have hitherto cultivated cotton
will turn their attention to the sweets-New
