Pounds 20 the BuShel.

At this season Of the year We receive
numerous inquiries as to the number of
pounds to the bushei Of grains, seeds,
&c. During the last session of the Leg
islature al act vas passed amendatory
TO the law Of 1863, establishing stand
ard Of weights and measures. The only
change made was thenumber of pounds
to the bashel Of. oats. which had for q
numbere ef years been fixed at SO pounds
For the benefit OF our readers We repuh
lish the standard of weights as fixed by
the hw now In force, which it will be
worth while TO preserve Tor reference:
Wheat, so pounds rye,56; corn she'll
ed, SO; corn, in the car, 20 pounds, until
the lst al January OF each year next af
ter it Is raised. md after that day 6S
pounds: oats, SO: clover seed, 60; timo,
thy seed, As; hemp sced.44; millet seed
so; beans, so: peas, 60; hominy, 60
Irish potatoes. 53; sweet potatoes, 80 !;
dried peaches. SO: d,ied spples, 90 flax
seed, So !; barley, 4S; Hungarian grass
seed, so.
In the matter of weighing grain, &c /,
an exchange has the following which We
believe TO be the true plan; "lf people
would art sensibly, and weigh all grain
W the pound, ss they actually buy and
sell, this nonsense of weighing it and
then iranslating it into bushels. would
be got rid of. Why not sell oats at a
cent and quarter or cent and half a

or three cents pound--or corn at q

persons were buried beneath the ruins.
Mr.. Pond and three others were taken out
dead, aud nine Others were rescued more

man Of great promise, who had built
up a large trade and was well known
throughout the State. The wifc and two
children Of Stcigcr, a German school

We have never seen the necessity for
