New Thing in Wheat Raising.

John Dalsiel and James Sanderson
brought Us last week some beautiful
specimen heads Of wheat grown from
seed sown in 1876, on Adam TAFT. .
farm, in the town of Harrison. The
hoppers harvested the crop the first
season, and the next spring the land
was plowed aud sown to oats. The
'hoppers again appeared, but did not
do quite ~ much damage on this field
As the previous year, and the oats we're
harvested by Mr.. TAFT, yielding about
six bushels to the acre. This year the
land has not been plowed or disturbed
and crop Of wheat is growing on it,
which promises . yield Of twelve to
fifteen bushels to the acre. Several
farmers in Harrison and adjacent towns
will harvest fair crop, it is said,
which has sprung from seed sown the
same year (1876) There may be
nothing singular about this, but We
presume that if We had owned = farm
last spring and plenty Of seed wheat.
We should have followed the old style
Of seeding the land, without ever
dreaming that an improved method Of
wheat raising could be developed so
easily.-( WiIlmar Republican. Gazette.

WEBSTER AND BENTON.

Daniel Webster and Thomas ii.
Benton sat for many years in the
United States Senate together, with
out speaking to or noticing each 9TH
er in any way. Webster WAS a lead
er of the Wings, and Benton of the
Democrats and to their political
rivalry WAS added a strong mutual
personal hostility. A very striking
event, which happened to Benton,
suddenly changed their relations to
each other. In the year 184l, n
newly invented gun was to be tes Ell
on the national steamer, Princeton,
on the Potomac river, not far from
Washington. The President and his
cabinet went on board, and many of
the most distinguished statesmen of
the time were present, curious to see
the experiment tried.
Just before the gun was touched
off, crowd of Cabinet officers, Sena-
tors, and other notable men, gather
ed around it, to observe the effect
from near point of view. Among
these was Col. Benton. s'.h
Just before the gur. was fired, some
one touched him on the shoulder, and
requested to speak with him for a
moment. Benton left his place in the
group, which was taken by Mr.. Gil
mer the Secretary of the Navy. The
gun was touched off, burst and killed
number Of persons, among whom
was Mr.. Gilmer; while Benton, who
had Withdrawn from its close vicini-
ty, was but slightly injured.
This narrow escape affected the
great Missourian most profoundly
1t seemed to me he said afterwards
as if that touch on my shoulder wal
the hand Of the Almighty, stretched
down there, drawing me away from
instantaneous death.
From that time he was q changes
man. He resolved to become recon
ciled to his old enemies; and one @
the first things he did was to go t
Webster and ask him to bury tn
: hatchet and be good friends agair
e Webster gladly and warmly graspe
3 his hands; and from that hour Ii
Webster's death, there were no tw
r Senators more cordially devoted
s each other than he and Benton.

HENRY ON HE'LL.
MIR. BEECHER CLAIMS THAT lie WAS
AIssREPREsENTED By THE REPORTERS
IN HIS RECENT sERMON--HIs CoNFI-
DENCE II ORTHODOXY IS UNsHAKEN.

New York, Jan. 12.-Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher has been moved by
the unexpected annoyance his recent
remark on the subject of hell has
given him, to write a letter as follows
to the Rev. Mr.. Morrison, editor Of
the Baltimore Presbyterian Weekly:
BROOKLYN, January 8,
My Dear Mr.. Morrison:-I is in
| conceivable to me how rational men
should allow themselves 10 be excited
by the periodical misreports of the re-
porters, and the Associated Press
based upon them, in regard to my
sentiments. Week after week ny
sermons are reported by Mr.. Ellen
wood, and no man need be at O loss
to know my religious sentiments. For
twenty-five years, in the printed vol
umes as we'll as from the pulpit, L
have printed and preached in every
conceivable form the truth of the in
spiration of the sacred scriptures, the
existence and government of God,
the doctrine Of the Trinity and the
divinity of Christ as the son Of God,
the universal sinfulness of man, the
atonement of Christ, the doctrine OF
change of heart, the efficacious in
fluence of the Holy Spirit in regene-
ration, and the doctrine Of retri-
button here and hereafter. 1t
is true that the question of the nature
Of the suffering, the object OF the PEN
atty, and the question of its duration,
/ have discussed with such lights as l
have had; denying thatall of the light
had broken out Of the holy scriptures
on the points that it contained. The
charges of atheism, infidelity, Uni
versalism, and theism, are made by
men who know nothing and who take
no pains to know anything. Eyes
have they" etc. My working sym
pathics 60 with the Evangelical Or
thodox ministry. 1 refuse to be held
to consistency with any pogmatic sys-
tenn of the past. l am with Calvin ;
and / am against Calvin. am with
Armenius, aud against Armenius. |
am with Episcopacy, and against
Episcppacy. lam with the Roman
Church, and against Tiny object
being not to build up or defend any
sy stem of theology or government,
but to bring men near to God, and to
build them up in the holiness of life
