Corn Raising.

corn In the Eastern States, they do no

Look at the following, and then say
which pays best. corn In Iowa at q

county, raised this year on 10 acres
and 81 perches Of land. l,OO5 bushels
Of corn, 20 lbs. of ear to to the bushel.

weighed in the ear, and single 10 lbs.
sheIled one bushel and two quarts.
Their treatment of the land was as
follows: They lime the field the year
before it is to be put in with corn,
about sixty bushels to the acre; during
the fall and winter previous 10 piow-
ing for corn, they give the field a
heavy coat of manure; the ground is
lowed in April and got ready for
planting by the first week in May.
They mark the field out four feet each
way; put compost in each hill aud
three grains of corn. In working the
corn, cultivator is used three or four
times, and then it is finished by going
over it both ways with double shovel
pillow. Ifany weeds appear in the
hills after this, they are removed by
hand. Last year they raised l,0l2l
bushels on lot acres, treated as above.
The Iatelsigencer says that "this crop,

Every year increases the populari-

can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard; ;

making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco

BY CELIA THAATER.

The barn was low and dim and old.
Broad on the floor the sunshine slept,
And through the windows and the doors
Swift in and out the swallows swept.
And breezes from the summer sea
Drew through, and stirred the fragrant hay
Down-dropping from the loft, wherein
A gray old idle fish net lay
Heaped in corner, and one loop
Hung loose the dry sweet grass among,
And hammOck-wise to all the winds
1t floated to and fro, and swung.
And there one day the children brought
The pet Of all the hose to play;
A baby boy of three years old,
And sweeer than the dawn OF day.
They laid him in the dropping loop,
And softly swung him. till at last
Over his beauty balmy sleep
Its delicate enchanIment cast.
And then they ran to call us all;
''Come, see where little Rob isl Guess!"
And brought us where the darling lay,
A heap of rosy loneliness.
Curled in the net the dim old place
He frightened. like a star he shone
Graded in air: we stood as once
The shepherds Of Judea had done.
And while adoring him we gazed,
With eyes that gathered tender dew,
Wrathful upon the gentle scene
His Celtic nurse indignant flew.
SIS this fit place for the child.'
And out of his delicious sleep
She clutched him, muttering. as she went,
Her scorn and wonder, low and deep.
His father smiled and drew aside,
A grave, sweet look was in his face;
"For One who in manger lay
1t was not found too poor a place"

fair which has for three years defed all
attempts at investigation, notwithstanding
the reward of $4,000 But this case is
deficient in very important point of inter
est, since there is no trace Of woman in
it. Mysteries re-appear in great city
with a periOdicity which may almost be
| calculated. II was felt that the time had
come for another demonstration of this
| character, and the calculation was veriii
ed IN the De Graw street tragedy, in
Brooklyn. This has happened at the period
when mystery was fairly due.
| On Friday morning, just at the time
| when Foster was eNpiating his crime at
the gallows, Goodrich was shot by wo-
man in the basement of one of his own
houses. l give the time agreeably to the
| best calculation, and that it was a woman's
work is apparent from the surroundings.
Like Mrs. Cunningham, she must have
| possessed unusual nerve. She fired three
| bullets into his head, with such detelmi;
nation of death that one was planted I'M
der each ear, while another entered the
forehead. Just as the unusual number OF
stabs in the Burdell case suggested the
| hand Of woman, SO the excessive shoot
ing in the Goodrich case bears the same
testimony. Goodrich, like Burdell, was
the victim of his own vices. He carried
on an intrigue until it became burden
some, and then tried to shuttle off the wo-
man whose affections he had won. As a
matter of course he reused all the pas
sions OF the victim of his lust, and as
Shakespeare says lin Antony and Cleopa-
tray "henceforth the white hand of lady
fever thee" The conclusion which such
a woman would reach would be that if
she, who had the best right to call him
husband was cast off, no other woman
should do so. The result is corpse with
three bullets in his brain left thus in death,
while has face IS washed-the last token of
returning affection and useless regret be-
fore she took eternal farewell of her victim

The deep mystery IN which the sus-
pected murder of Frederick G. Merrill. of
Goffstown, N. H., is involved, is not yet
unravelled AS already stated, his body
was found floating in the Merrimack river
on Tuesday, the whereabouts of the man
not having been known to his friends
since last November The body was found
to be horribly mutilated, and in such a
manner as to leave no doubt that he had
been the victim of violence. The throat
was cut to the bone and there were
several large wounds upon the scalp
The skull was badly fractured, and a lock
of hair was found driven through the
wound to the brain. 1t is believed that
the body ofthe murdered man was thrown
into the Piscataquog river near his resi-
dence, and that the thick ice which formed
soon atterword frustrated all the attempts
to find it. A large number Of the former
acquaintance and friends of the deceased
were summoned to testify before the
coroner's jury which was convened at
Manchester yesterday, but no further light
was thrown upon the tragedy. The MUIR
derer, whoever he was, evidentally took
great pains to prevent the body being
identified, it having been stripped of cloth
ing and the hair and whiskers closely
shaven. Previous to his disappearance
last tall, it is said that Merrill expressed
fears Of being murdered when in state
of intoxication. No arrests have yet been
made, though suspicion is directed toward
several parties, who are detained as wit
nesses
