The Country Gentleman has the fol,

The operation here described refers to
the use Of the common harrow, which,
when passed over the plants in spring,
may do but little injury, II everything

for the same reason that the cultivation
OF corn increases the growth, BY breSkiDg

We have been for several years in the
practice OF narrowing corn In spring,
and always with successful results, BY
using the smoothing harrow, which has
some decided advantages over the COM
mon implements. II never uproots the
wheat ; 1t destroys all small weeds gives
a mellow surface to the earth, and the
operation may be repeated two or three
times at any time when the ground is
dry enough to bear the team, from the
period when the wheat begins to grow

1t has been maintained by a great
many persons living in our county,
that corn could not be raised in the
glades, owing to the frosts in the
spring and fall. This season, how
ever, has proved an exception, and
we have good fields Of corn in every
section of the county. Mr.. j. r..
Bishop this fall gathered one hun
dred bushels, of ears, from less than
one acre in Oakland. and the corn is
as good in quality as can be raised
anywhere. We also noticed at Nc
Henry, and near the centre of the
glade section, large fields of ripe
corn, which will yield from 30 to 80
bushels, sheiled, to the acre.

Our attention has been called to a
new article for the use of ladies the
invention of which has conferred an
everlasting blessing upon every lady.
We refer to the Queen City skirt
suspenders for supporting ladies'
skirts, the most desirable and bene-
fetal article ever invented for the re-
lief Of women, many of whom have
suffered years of miserable health
caused solely by carrying the weight
of number of heavy skirts, COM
pletely dragging them down. Some
thing to support ladies clothing is
absolutely necessary. These suspen-
ders are recommended by our leading
physicians to all ladies and young
girls. Every lady should have them.
They are sold only through lady
agents. A splendid opportunity is
offered to some reliable lady can

agency of a pleasant and profitable
business. For terms and territory

New YORK, October 2S.-A special
from Nashville, Tenn, says: The
three hundred illicit distillers who
have been before the United States
Cirtuit Court during last week have
been hopelcssly demoralized in con-
sequence Of the heavy penalties i'm
posed. Sixty of them have been
fined from 500 to 81 900 and sem
fenced to imprisonment from one to
six months in Jail. As they had
been allowed to do pretty much as
they pleased in their home institu-
tions for the confinement of criminals,
they have been sent this week to the
Nashville, Franklin and COLUMBIA
jails, where they will undergo close
confinement. One hundred and fifty
mOOnshinerS, in consequence of these
sentences, have fled to the mountains,
FORGETTING their bonds. twenty-five
have been discharged on promise
to never again practice illicit dis
tilling."
