State DELEGATIONS.

In view of the extreme probability
that the election of the next President
must be decided by an appeal to the
House Of Representatives, by reason Of
the failure Of any candidate to receive
a majority in the electoral college, the
complexion of the State delegations 10
the next House becomes of special in
terest. A we'll informed correspen.
dent Of the Cincinnati Gazette sets
down the prospects in substance rs
follows
In case the election is thrown into
the House the candidate who succeeds
must receive twenty votes, as there are
thirty.eight States and each State
casts one vote. From present indica-
,ious the following States may te set
down as having Republican delega-
tioas: Maine, New Hsmpshsre, Yer
mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Kansas, Nevada and Nebraska. Total
IS. The Democrats are sure Of the
following: Delaware, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina. South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri,
Arkansas, Texas, Oregon and West
Virginia. Total l6.
The following seven are debatatle
ground, and, go far as the question Of
electing the next President of the
House is concerned, they form the
battle ground Of the fall campaign !:
Connecticut. New York, New Jersey,
Ohio, Florida, California, aud Colorado
total Z. Of these latter the repub.
.icsns now hold New York by major
ity Of one in representation of thirty
three. Ohio by = majority Of four in
twenty. The Democrats hold Con-
necticut by majority Of two in four,
and New Jersey BY enc in seven, aud
have the only delegate from Colorsdo.
Florida and California are eveaiy divi.
ded, the FIRST having two aud the SEQ
ond four members. Of these seven
States the the Republicans must secure
Eve to be able to elect . President in
the House, while the Democrats t.
succeed have only to carry four, pro.
vided the main divisions first givea
are correct.-St. Paul Dispatch.

State Normal School,
MankatO Minnesota.

In consequence Of the promise Of an un.
usually early harvest, We have concluded
to.cpensthe Fall session of this institution
somewhat earlier than announced in the
catalogue. All, therefore, who contem-
plate attending during the next session,
will please note carefully the following
dates regardless of previous announce
ments:
Entrance Examination, Aug. 20 and q.
Recitations Commence, August ed.
Two courses of study, an Elementary
and an Advanced, are now open to pupils.
The eiemeutery is confined chiefly to the
common branches; the Advanced includes
in addition, Higher English and Latin.
The professional drill in both is the same.
and diploma will be granted upon the
completion Of either course.
We have thorough, efficient and exps.
risnced corps of teachers, and can on.r
rare facilities to all who desire to improve
themselves in the somewhat difficult art Of
teaching and governing schools.

animation, board rooms, &c., see Cata-

Cultivatfag Wheat.

Frequently we hear a discussion
about the utility Of cultivsting wheat
or other small grains; and the usual
is that while it may be
good thing to cultivate small grains,
our fathers and fcrefathers did not do
it, and 60 it is not necessary for the
sons to do 60. The following, from
correspondent to the Praire Farmer. Is
to the point: He says:
This writer sowed several acres oi
winter wheat in autumn, with drill.
leaving out every other tube. making
the rows fifteen inches apart, and only
using one peck Of seed wheat to the
acre, which was found to be ample.
The following March, as soon as the
ground was dry enough, a shovel plow
wide enough 70 stir up the entire width
between the rows was passed through
only once,-a very trifing task indeed
Yet that portion Of the field produced
thirty bushels to the acre; while that
purposely soved a. usual, With double
the quantity Of seed, and double the
number Of rows, yielded twelve bushels
to the acre.
'Such an experiment is certainly
deserving Of general repetition every.
where. A more perfect and oftener
repeated system Of culture would pro-
baby have been still more beneficial
and profitable"
This experiment confirms the state.
meot of Colorsdo's best farmers. Mr..
L. K. Perrin, who last year exper-
mented with a field of wheat in the
same manner that the above writer
did; and the results were about in the
same proportion. only Mr.. Perrin's
yield was fifty bushels to the acre.
When We saw the field, few days be-
fore is vas cut, We thaught we had
never disappointed when We heard Of
the yield
These experiments ought to satisfy
practical men Of the advantages Of cul.
tivating small grains.

BLUNT BUT TRUE.-There is said to

working his way up to handsome com.

But ever since the days of Adam and

to realize suf6cient sum Of money to
purchase, when they are dead aud gone,
their sons each q first class through

to be wondered at that SO many Of their

too many Of them often are, have no
higher ambition than to invest their

tation.

New York Herald: 1.-THE country is
really rich. It still feels poor, be.
cause a great many meo have lost
fortunes and good many more are in
debt. But the long and dreary period
of drepression has taught the whole
nation economy; and this, combined
with several years Of abundant crops,
tells surely and rapidly upon the gen
eral welfare. The readiness with
which the four per cent. bonds have
been taken up; the increase in the
savings banks deposits in many States
the revival Of building in many cities;
the considerable increase in the inter
nal revenue reeeipts-all show that We
have substantially recovered the losses
Of the war and the period Of depres
sion since"

The Guenon Theory.

The Governor of Pennsylvania has
appointed commission under the au-
spices of the Pennsylvania Board Of
Agriculture 70 determine by practical
test aud investigation the value of the
Guencn theory of Determining ia ad
vance by the escutcheon and by other
determin&tivc marks the value of the
COW and even the calf as prospective
mixers. This theory is nov many
years old, and to our own mind rela-
tivlycorrect. In France and other
European countries the theory is re-
ceived as correct, and the author of the
theory has received various honors in
France and Germany. The comm,s
sion will make critical tests, classifying
the facts obtained, and the records aud
statistics recorded will be sent to the
secretary of the board for comparison.
From the work already accomplished
Dinety-fve per cent of the opinions
formed by observations OF the escut
cheons of cows are said so far to have
proved correct.
