n Discovery ABOUT CoRN.-In
this thinking and ob5crvant age, new
ideas aud discoveries are constantly
being made known, many of which, il
true, are never after heard of, while
others pass into the treasu of cstab-
lished fact when their merit has been
proven. We copy the following from
an exchange:
An intelligent and reliable farmer,
who has for many years been making
experiments with corn, has discovered
an importance and value in rcplanted
corn which is quite novel and worthy
Of publication. We have always tho I
replantcd corn was of little conse-
quencc; he rcplants whether it is need
cd or motor rather he plants two or
three weeks after the crop is planted,
about every fifteenth row each way
He says if the weather be dry during
the filling time the silk and tassel both
becomes dry and dead. In this condi
tion, if it should become scasonablc,
the silk reviyes and renews, but the
tassCl does not recover. Thus for
want of pollen, the new silk is unable
to fill the office for which il was deSig-
mated. The pollen from the replanted
corn is then ready to supply the silk,
and the ill ng is completed lie says
nearly all the abortive ears, so com
mon in the corn crop, is caused by the
want of pollen, and he has known ears
to double their size in the second fill

The Coming Tobacco CroD.

a correspondent of the New Or
leans Times, writing from Henderson,
KY, has this to say about the prospect
of the next tobacco crop. The sue
cessive advances in the Western mar
kets have been chiefly due to the scar
city Of offerings, occasioned by an un-
usually long, cold, dry winter, and an
increased export demand arising in
Reggie and other contracts. The an
nouneement from New York and New
Orleans that the French contract had
been awarded for Virginia and Ken
lucky tobaccos, and the contractors
had entered both markets increased
the competition between buyers, and
prices have been forced much higher
than was anticipated.
A large quantity of tobacco through
out this district has been bought by
parties furnished with capital from
New Orleans, aud is daily shipped to
that market. Planters have realized
prices which far exceeded their most
sanguinc expectations, and small pur-
chasers have re-sold to these buyers
at profit. The preparations for the
coming crop are made on grand scale.
Plants are thrifty and abundant, and
it is probable the largest crop ever
planted in the West and Virginia will
soon be in the ground.
The make of strips has been sori-
ously curtailed by the excessive prices
which rule the market. Henderson,
so long noted as the leading point for
stemming tobacco, will not make more
than two-fiiths of her usual quantity
Of stri ps; the factories are filled with
leaf, which is priced as rapidly as it
can be got in good order. The esti-
mate Of strips for Virginia and the
West is about 6 800 hogsheads, scafce-
ly onc-third Of the quantity which
was shipped to Great Britain last year.

pointment of other officers.
John {. Brown was nominated by
acclamation as a candidate for re-clec-
ton as Governor.
The following resolutions were
adopted
First--Indorsing the administration
of Governor Brown.
Second-Providng for the appoint
ment of a State Executive Committee.
Third-Rccognizing as cardinal
points of Democratic faith, the follow
ing: The preservation of local State
governments against Federal cncroach-
mcnt and Capitalization ofpower; the
equality Of all men before the law, and
the equal participation of all citizens
in the rights and benefits Of the gov
crnment; the subordination of the
military to the civil authority; the in.
violability Of the right of the writ OF
hdbcdS cOrpuS; the publication Of the
corrupt service of the country, and a
faithful compliance with its obligations
! the preservation of the national honor
at home and abroad, and the Union OF
the States, with all the guarantees OF
the constitution respected.
To carry out these principles, VIC
are ready to cooperate with all good
citizens in the pending Presidential
contest, irrespective Of party.

A Merry Evening.

The Turner Sociable last night was grand
success. A goodly number of the members, es-
pecially the younger ones, were present, and
all enjoyed themselves to the utmost. Until
about nine clock greetings and social CONVEX
sation seemed to be the order, after which sew
eral- lively airs were performed by the Brass
Band, at the conclusion Of which Prof. Lowery
took command and the door was closed for a
social dance. Prof. Hodgson's string band fur
nished the music for the occasion which of itself
was enough to ensure pleasant evening.
About ten o'clock abundant refreshments were
furnished to all present, and was soon followed
up with another merry dance. The entire par
ty retired to their homes about midnight well
pleased with their first sociable of the season,
and no doubt thinking with fond anticipation d
the second. -ll-- -. . 49,

Considering the fiery ordeal at Chicago,
through which the Company has passed, it must
be gratifying to note that the cash and available
resources are now larger than ever before. Tho
securities of the Company speak for themselves.
This Company sustained no loss at the Boston
fire, and is prepared to take risks at former
ates. The Company bases its claims to pat
ronage: first on the desirable class of Its invest
ments; second, its large available resources, its
stock being held in small amounts and by the
most influential business men in the West !;
third, on its conservative management, which
of itself is sufficient guaranty of security. The
cash capital of the Company is 81, $50, coo.
