The Weslcrn Corn CrOp.

throughout the West is having a
serious effect upon the young corn
crop. A correspondent writing from
Hannibal, Mo-, says, "That we are
about have d poor corn crop, the
coming scassn seems nov more
than probable, yet it is too early to
venture a positive opinion. That
there is a large contraction in the
area planted there is no doubt, and
every favoring circumstance from
this time forward to maturity will
be necessary for a good crop Mil
lions of acres of corn ground are even
now covered with water, Yesterday
Ipassed through four thunderstorms,
one of which was hail, that fell in
sufficient quantity to cover the
ground, and the feeling among farm
ers is certainly quite gloomy just
now" Equally unfavorable dis
patches are published in the Western
papers and in many cases II is re.
ported the farmers have abandoned
all hopes of u corn crop.

Tie snIt 81 the Earth,

The coal trade of the Kapawha has
over Swallowed the other Of its indus
tries so completely that many of our
people are not aware of the extent of
the manufacture of salt in the vicin-
ity of Charleston. An interesting
article appeared in the Charleston
Courier a short time ago on this sub
ject and from it we take our data:
The principal points where this in
dustry is carried on, are near Charles
ton on the kauawha river and from
West Columbia to Hartford City on
Ohio. Theother manufactoriesare the
Of less Importance. There are thir-
teen furnaces and about one hundred
and twenty wells in operation, and
their aggregate production is $780,.
900 bushelsof salt. The depth OF the
wells is from !, 100 to Il, 900 feet, and
they run from fifteen to fifty gallons
per minute each. The coal used in
making the salt is of excellent quail
ity and is very cheap, which is an
important item, as it takes bushel
of coal to manufacture n bushel OF
salt. The capacity Of the thirteen
furnaces alluded to is 3,700,0OO bush.
els but they do not make full work
For over forty years this business has
been carried on in this neighborhood
and the old furnaces which produced
from 1000 to 1000 bushels u month
have been improved sothat the Snow
Hill furnace has made Al ,000bushels
in the same period and has turned
out 100000 in a single year The
cost of erecting one of these furnaces
is from $4,000 to 100000, The

ply. the great western marketwithin
our reach, and that these materials
would be Of ahigher gradethan those
which are imported. The article in
the Courier says;
"The largest yield Of salt in any
year was in 1S47, being 3,224,7S6.-
The next largest, 1850, being 3,l42,-
900, showing for the later years a
gradual decrease in the business
The cause in part or all for this de-
crease were by over production, which
should not have effected us, as we had
water transportation to the heaviest
pork packing markets in the world,
whereas part Of our heaviest Compet-
itors had rail transportation into our
market proper. Considering the SUI
perior quality of our salt, it is sad to
record these facts.

A Serious Verdict Against the
Baltimore IL Ohio lsOad.

In the Circuit Court of Mineral
County, West Virginia, in the case
of the State, against the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Co., for Sabbath.
breaking, by running its trains on
Sunday, a verdict Of guilty was rem,
dered, and the fine assessed by the
jury at $3.50. Several cases invOlv-
ing the same charge are pending in
the same court.
We are at a loss tounderstand how
this verdict is to be regarded, If it
is understood to be one Of the many
that can and possibly will follow in
every county Of the State, then in
deed is it a most serious affair to the
railroad company. We do not sup.
pose, however, that the company will
acquiesce in such n verdict without
fight Of the most exhaustive char
acter, inasmuch as the enforcement
of it against them, when tho other
trunk lines are permitted to run on
Sunday, would be very damaging to
the value of their property. II was
long ago ruled by the Postollice De-
partment that the mails should be
carried on Sunday, when public CON
veyances were run on that day as in
the Stages on the National rold, and
we doubt not that in case any neces.
sity arose, Congress would legalize
the running of trains on Sunday by
virtue of the provision in the con-
stitution giving them the right to
regulate interstate commece.-ln-
telligcRcer.
