n6>Paris has been very much astonished to learn that one of it's pet heroes, Ser geant HoH, was in reality Bavarian lieu tenant who was playing the part of spy. For long time Hoff was the object of universal admiration. Gen. Trochu con- ferred the Legion of Honor upon him for having slain over thirty Prussians. General Hehmitz gave him an official bulletin, and he was interviewed by journalists. Hoff gen. erally used to go out alone at night, and bring back helmets and muskets in proof of the amount of business he had perform. ed. On the 2d of December, ,Hoff, much to the grief of his comrades, disappeared, and the government was greatly blamed for having allowed such valuable man to Do into action like c common mortal. in some quarters it was considered that Hof1 should have replaced Trochu. When il was supposed that he had fallen, subscrip ton was raised for his disconsolate swid. ow," which was carried to that lady with the greatest respect, by four officers Ire minding one oneof Monsieur Malbrook' < fnneral).

Our late Companion not only served with gallantry and distinction dur ing the Rebellion, but also by his faithful attention to duty-being present with his regiment in every skirmish and battle in which it was engaged, from the beginning to the end of it's three years term of ser vice-has left record which reflects credit not only on himself and immediate associ- ates, but also on this Commandery, there fore be it
 Resolpsd, That while we sincerely deplore tue uoCSdSe OI tniS &allanG SOlu10r ana klnQ- ly gentleman, before he had attained the measure of years usually allotted to man, we nevertheless feel an honest pride in the bright example of soldierly faithfulness ex- hibited in his career.

 ResOlCed, That these resolutions be en- tered upon the Minutes of the Com mandery, and that copy, duly authentica- ted, be transmitted to the family of the de. ceased. and be published in the Army and NaVy JomraL

We gave it only ordinary cultivation.
There was vigorous growth of stake and

hundred and forty bushels per acre. We
are acquainted with gentleman who
raised about thirty-eight bushels from two
quarts of seed. Some of the ears meas

The cob is exceedingly snall, so that a

If the telegraphic agent of the AssocIa.

man himself, he is evidently in sympathy
with the order, for he made it convenient
In his report on Thursday morning to give
US about ten times as much Of Frank
Blair's report in favor Of the Ku-Klux as
he did of the report against that secret
league. And yet there is little cause of
complaint, for careful reading of what
the majority reported is sustained by the
minority protest. For instance, the ms-
jority declared that outrages existed and
ought to be suppressed. while the minor
ity declared that gross ontrages had been
committed, hut as they had been exager-
ated 1t was scarcely polite 10 be violent in
suppressing them. The majority inferred
that these outrages had been committed
for political purposes, and the minority
follows up with ITS suggestion to let the
outrages pass without action. which is to
say that, as this violence has been perpe.
trated to effect 8 political end, 1t would be
impolitic to arrest the effect by suppressing
the cause. Blair is great cow In his abil-
