MAD-DoGs.-A mad-dog was killed in
town last week or the week before. Poor
dog, We knew him we'll. He was gentle,
harmless pup, wishing no i'll to any one, and
thinking 40 harm in aught that he did. But
the hot sun Of July was too much for him; !;
he went mad, so mad that he had no method
in his madness, and it became necessary that
he should die. Requies dog in pace
Seriously we do not believe in msd-dogs,
does any one? But what We mean to say is
this, that We don't think there is much
danger in mad-dogs. We have lived,-well
i don't matter how many years-and great
many people have died since we were born;
we have seen cases Of smallpox, Of measles,
Of scarlet fever, of whoopipg-cough, Of
meningitis, and persons We have known have
died of all these diseases, and great many
whom we have not known have died Of
cholera and other sicknesses, but we have
never seen case of hydrophobia yet, that
is, case Of hydrophobia caused by the bite
of mad-dog. We think the Imagination
has q great deal to do in producing cases of
hyGrophobia. We once knew an old gen.
tlemar who came very nearly persu aiding
himself that he was about to be attacked
with dog madness from being slightly bitten
in the hand by his own dog. We hope
therefore that a panic will not be produced
by our having mentioned the death of one
poor little mad-dog.

EGYPTIAN CoRN.-Among the many nov
elites embraced in the wide range Of agricul-
tural products of the. State, one which bids
fair to assume prominence is the Egyptian
corn" which has already been raised in con-
siderable quantities in the vicinity of Sutter,
and is now being introduced extensively
about Vallejo. Its capabilities are not yet
fully understood, but as far as its growers
have got acquainted with it, it is found at
least to be an excellent food for poultry and
all kinds of stock-even preferable for these
use, to either wheat or barley. 1t
Yields as much as seventy bushels to the
acre and, it is believed, can be relied upon
for two crops per annum: The manner OF
planting it is similar to that employed with
broom.corn, which the stock somewhat re-
sembles, while the head in shape is more
like that ofthe sorghum or Asiatic sugar-cane.
Instead of growing straight up, as that does,
the egyptian corn always crooks at tho head
and turns down when maturing The grains
in shape and size bear some resemblance to
broom. corn seed, but OH crushing gram 1t
is found to be more of the nature OF Indian
corn than anything else. The seeds from
which this corn is grown we're taken from
the wrapping of Egyptian mummies; and
that they grew after beingthus laid away tor
two thousand years shows that this variety
Of cereal possesses wonderful power of repro
duction. 1t has been suggested that it
might be found to advantageously replace
barley for the use Of masters and brewers.
Doubtless the experiment will soon DO made.
