The schooner Ida Smith, Captain
Masters, was beached twelve miles
north of St. Augustine, on the morn
ing of the 2Sth ult. She sprung
leak after crossing the St. Johns bar,
and the Captain, finding that the
water was gaining on the pumps, ran
her on the beach. Our informant
saws that she will be nearly total
loss. Her cargo, valued at $1,000,
was mostly consigned to r. S. Shell
don, of this place, and Charles Foz-
gard, of Port Orange. There was no
insurance on the vessel orcargo.-

teed a fund OF $4,000 to secure it tor
that city, and correspondent OF the

90 $1,000 better and guarantee fund
Of $4,000, to have it at Tallahassee.
1t would be very convenient to have,
the State Fair at the Capital, but if
it is to be secured only at the cost OF
$4,000, we are inclined to think it
would be an expensive luxury

CORN RooTs.-CarGful farmers for
years have avoided, rs much rs possible,
cutting the roots OF corn at the last
plOwing. The effects OF such root
pruning have been seen the same day
in the curling Of the leaves and with
erlng oil the corn. And many contcud
the amount ana quality is seriously in
jurcd by the plow cutting and tearing
the roots. Good farmers have been in
turing for . Dlow which will better
throw the soil 10 the corn, cut the weeds
but at the same time not reach the roots.
But there are some men who are ex-
tremely wise, and prefer exploding all
the cherished notions of the past and
present Mr.. Sturdeyant, 4 noted agri-
cultural critic, has made u new discOy-
cry in cultivating corn and he urges
his theory on the world in energy of
pure English. la well written ar
ticle in the Country GeatltmeH he states
his positions. Is well as the result OF
his experiments, which are well wOr-
thy OF notice, as well rs further demon
stratiOn. He says lie planted grains Of
corn in bottles Cf water, and in lOw-
er pots, cutting the roots of as they
appeared, and observing the results
with microscope. In every case,
breaking the IoOJs of caused = great
multiplication Of smaller roots and
spongioles to appear, the area Of which
was several hundred per cent. greater
than that of original roots, and whose
powers of absorption and assimilation
were increased IN proportion. Carry
ing his practice into the field, Mr..
Sturdeyant declares that by repeatedly
cultivating up the soil close up 10 the
corn or maize plants, going over ttte
ground in this way at least once week
until the Iassel appeared, he had, in
several instances, increased the number
of ears upon single stock to twenty
TWO and twcnJy-three, much larger
aud containing Il greater number OF
grains OF corn TO the ear than the usu-
al average. The yield is so excessive
as TO very properly excite doubts
among old corn growers.
