About three miles east of Elizabethtown,
Pa. on Wednesday, 10th inst, during a
terrific thundergust the lightning struck a
vhite-5ak tree, shattering it in remark
able manner. The tree was about thirty
inches in diameter and twenty feet clear to
the first limb. The lightning struck the
tree about the lower limb, tearing the en-
tire solid tough oak butt into shreds like
braom-corn, tearing it completely out of the
r'ors. and ploughing on the ground for a
distance Of sixteen feet around the tree.
The top Of the tree was intact, and contains
about Two cords Of wood, and fell directly
nro the hole where the stump stood The
ILnters and debris were scattered around,
covering the ground for a distance of fifty
Yards. The most singular part is that the
to3 should fall directly where the stump
had been in such position as if planted
there One part Of the trunk, weighing
about two hundred and fifty pounds, was
thrown distance Of seventy-fve yards from
the scene Of operations, Many people visi-
teI the spot from all around the country

IN reason that the State only needs rail
roads and industrial capital to insure its
rroper devlopment. Pennsylvania has
been in the past lavish of her capital and
enterprise for the benefit Of other States,
from Maine to Texas Had she been as
selfish as has been alleged, she would have
ar7lied her wealth to the development of
her own internal resources, and the re-
suits would have far transcended any that

It Is now time to turn our attention to
the Development Of our own, internal re-
sources: to multiplication of railways in
Pennsylvania herself; to the realization of
chal mighty future Of which our people
have so long dreamed. Whatever other
States may choose to do in the way of
waiting for better times and a more con-
yanient season, it behooves Pennsylvania
to spring into the opening and 90 ahead at
once in her own improvement. She can
employ proftably at home every dollar of
surplus capital and every idle hand.

The Champion Corn Crop of Nebraska.


The soil and climate of Nebraska
are most favorable for farming
Indian corn grows luxuriantly, and
the smaller cereals also thrive. The
productions of Nebraska do not ap-
pear in the U. S. census reports be-
fore 1860; and then the whole corn
production of the Territory-which
was much larger than the State, its
western limit being the summit of
the Rocky Mountains-was only l.
4S2,0SO bushels. In 1870 the corn
crop of the State of Nebraska-the
western limit of which is the base of
the Rocky Mountains-was 1885,
TO bushels; and the Agricultural
returns of the Department at Wash
ington for 1873, give the corn for
that year, which. was a bad year for
Indian corn, at q, ,0OO, 600 bushels.
These figures exhibit the rapid pro-
gress of agriculture in Nebraska, for
what may be said of corn is equally
true of other productions. In the
fertile soil and genial climate of the
State, corn yields abundantly, and is
a safe crop. There are broken lands
where year after year, the produce
has averaged 80 bushels to the acre;
but this isoutdone by the champion
corn crop Of 1873.
oThe afidavits on which the $50
premium for 1873 was awarded,
has Just been published by the State
Board of Agriculture. The owner
was Magnus NJ. Nelson, of Cass
County!sl His champion crop was
grown on field of thirty FIVE acres
-the second crop on the same ground
which was prairie broken in 1871.
The plowing cost Sl.25 per acre; the
planting 45 cents; the cultivating
$1.8O; the harvesting $l.25-the to-
tai expense per acre $4.75. The
yield was an average of 914 bushels
per acre, which was certainly worth
not less than 40. cents per bushel on
the farm. i The variety of the corn
was Mahogany; and the weight 63
lbs. to the bushel. .rsw m
