CuItiyafinC Wheat.

The results OF sowing wheat in drills
at such a distance apart that the crop
could receive cultivation with horse
hoe, have been very favorable. Sowed
at the rate OF three pecks per acre, in
drills twenty inches apart, through
which, in spring. garden harrow was
run, the crop amounted to twen;y.nine
bushels, while the remainder ofthe field,
sowed in nine-inch drills, not cultivated,
yielded only nine bushels per acre.
Numerous other experiments. both here
and in England. have bad similar
results. proving that cultivation tends
to increase the crop, and pays many
times over for the extra labor performed
10 England especially. where labor is
cheap enough to permit it, the wheat
crop receives a hand koeing and weed
ing, and the consequence is that the
average crops are forty bushels per acre,
while the grain often weighs sixty-six
pounds per bushel. We would sugges,
sowing one acre the present season in
wide drills, as an experiment.

New YORK, August l6.-The steamer
City OF Limerick has arrived here.
The Corean Officially.
Advices from Washington state that
no official dispatches have yet been re-
ceived concerning the Corean difficulty,
and that the accounts hitherto publish
ed are probably incorrect. The Chinese
eastern question may involve war by
the western nations with China, from
which our Government cannot escape.
Other nations are interested in the
Corean problem as well as ours, but
the United States will not be likely 10
make war against Corea without the
cooperation Of the other western pow
ers.
The Cholera I'm London and Paris.
Adyices from London state that fatal
cases of cholera had appeared on three
steamers from Cronstadt to Hull, but
the English authorities were taking
every means to prevent it's introduction.
The ships arrived at their ports ester
day.
Dispatches were received here to-
day announcing two fatal cases Of
cholera in Paris.
The members OF the Health Depart
ment of this city think there is little
probability Of the choleras visitation to
this country this year. One physician
saws he no longer considers the cholera
a natter OF American interest, as it has
been lnrkin, about Europe for years,
while we have escaped.
City Finances.
A committee appointed by the sign
ers of call for public meeting about
the alleged frauds Of the city accounts,
say that the absence from the city of so
many of the business men and leading
citizens has necessitated a delay IN
every direction Of the proposed meet
ing, but they promise to give public no
tice as soon as their preparations are
sufficiently matured.
Bismarck and the Papacy.
Advices from London state that Bis
marck has commenced vigorous cam
paign against the papacy, and as the
first blow, declared in Parliament and
his official gazettes that he regards the
Ultramontane Church as hostile TO the
Stale. He has broken off all relations
with it not purely political, and has dis
solved the Catholic Department OF Min
istry of Public Worship. He is In
tricuing for the establishment Of an
Orthodox Catholic party, which is the
name applied to the opponents of inial-
libility, and actively supporting DR..
Dollinger, of Munich, who, although
accommodated, has just been elected
by a vote of fiIty-four to six rector OF
University. 1t has been announced by
the Ultramontane organs that the State
will treat as Catholics those persoLs
who are inhibited for rejecting the in
fallibility dogma.
