The Corn Crops.

Mr.. NJ. III. Pierce, who returned from
up the road a few days ago, tells us he
could not purchase car load of corn
in kansas at any price. There Is no
old corn in that market, and the crop
this year will not average over fourth
of what 1t was in 1878. This is owing
to the protracted drouth. In southern
Missouri not over half as much Of this
staple will be harvested this year as
last. The result will be that the price
of corn in northern Texas Is bound to
go up this fall.
Farmers who are now selling new
corn in this market at seventy-iive and
eighty cents per bushel are making a
great mistake. By holding 1t a few
weeks they can realize ut least dollar
and twenty-five cents for 1t.
Mr.. Pierce received car load Of corn
Saturday, from st. Louis, which he i
selling at dollar and ten cents, which
allows but very small proht-lDeni'

The Dead Siamese Twins.

NEW YoRK, Jan. % A dispatch
from Mont Airy, y. c. says Dr. Will.
liam Holingsw orth, who attened the
Siamese Twins, is of the opinion that
the death of Eng was not caused by
any vital connection of an artery
passing from che t. the other through
The ligament that united them, and
believes there was no such vital con-
nection through the ligament, be.
cause he has attended the Twins
when one was sick and the other in
good health, and when there was as
much rs 90 beats to the minute diff
ference in their pulsa i'm. The
bodies, after being embaImed, were
placed in a coffin, and encased in a
large tin box, which was soIdered and
made air tight. All were then put
in q large wooden box and packed 10
charcoal and made secure, and placed
III the cellar of the house. 1t is re-
ported that the bodies will be d..
posed OF at an enormous price to
some museum or medical college, or
placed on exhibition. This is TO be
subject to the decision of the
members OF the family. The
charge is made that veil of mys-
terry has been thrown over the death
of the twins, and the real cause of
their deceaso suppressed, for the Pur-
pose of obtaining possession of the
bodies for the above stated object.
A dispatch from Greensboro says
that DR.. Joe HolIingswortb, brother
of the doctor who attended the twins,
while en- route for the North. stated
that his mission was to dispose OF the
dead bodies of the WINSTON the most
favorable terms be could negotiate.
The sum asked for the privilege of
post morteiQ examination l. stated at
$1,000 to $4,000.
