The County Commissioners have ordered
an election, TO decide whether Edwards

A gentleman who has kept memoranda
Of the changes of the weather for the past

weather for this winter. II Is to be hoped
that be is eminently correct.

DEPTH OF SOWING WHEAT.

Farmers who are wide awake and given
to investigation don't SOW % much wheat
per acre - they formerly did, and thew don't
row it 50 deep. The great heavy harrovso oil
ten or twenty years ago are not now en-
ployed by them in covering iced, and the
drill, which can be depended on better, 10
becoming universally popular. In broad
cast sowing, after the ground % thoroughly
prepared, the Thomas smoothing harro"
covers the seed deep enough. A Wisconsin
writer gives the result in an experiment in
planting at different dephts-on the surface
one-fourth inch, one-half inch, three-fourth
inch, and 20 ON to several inches. That on
the surface lay two week before sprouting;
that one-fourth to thrse-fourth inches deep
came up in four or i've days, and 90 on,
getting later as depth increased. The last
to come up was planted three and . half
inches deep and was fourteen days in reach
ing the surface. None planted deeper ever
reached the surface. At the end Of Elk weeks
that planted one. fourth to one-halfinch deep
stood far ahead Of the rest.

NATURES BAROMErKRs.-Aw writer says
certsin movements ON the part of the ami
NAL creation before change Of weather ap-
pear to indicate . reasoning faculty. Such
seems to be the case with the common gar
den spider, which on the approach Of rainy
or windy weather, will be found to shorten
and strengthen the guys Of his web, length
en- the same when the storm Is over. The
different tribes of wading birds always mi
crate before rain, likewise to hunt for food.
Many birds fore'ell rain BY warning cries
and uneasy actions, and swine will carry hay
and straw TO hiding.plsces. oxen will lick
themselves the wrong way Of the hair, sheep
will bleat and skip shout, hogs turned out
in the woods will come granting and squal-
ing; colts will rub their backs against the
ground; crows will gather in crowdf; crick-
ets will sing more loudly; flies come into the
honss; frogs croak aud change color to .
dingier hue; dogs eat grass, and rooks soar
like hawks. 1t is probable that many Of
these actions are due to actual uneasines,
similar to that which all who are troubled
with corns or rheumstism expsrissce before
storm, and are caused both By the varia-
ton 10 barometric pressure and the changes
in the electrical condition Of the atmosphere.
Gen. Hsnderson, Of Missouri, who was In
Washington last wesk, in conversation re-
garding the political outlook. said that he
vas convinced that the nomination Of Gen.
Grant is inc sitable; that he has travelled /.
great deal through the States of the Missis-
sippi Valley and was surprised to End no,
only in Missouri, but 10 Illinois, Kansas,
Arkansas, Iowa and Wisconsin, gentlemen
Of his acquaintance and of the same politi-
cal afinities Who heretofore have been Cd
posed to Gen. Grant, but are strongly urging
his nomination. That in talking with them
they assigned no particular reason for such
change beyond the fact that they believe
him to be the strongest man, and the only
one that can be elected; that be Represents
the interests of order and the sscurity of
property. In conversation with leading
Democratic member Of Cougres from Penn
sylvanis. Mr.. Henderson, informed him that
he believed that II Grant was nominated BE-
would carry Virxisis, North Carolisa, Lou
