The Sorehum Interest.

Prof. Peter Collier lectured in the Hall of Representatives in Hartford last evening on Sorghum Culture" He is of the Agricul- tural department at Washington, and has been for many years experimenting on this sorghum question; and he says he has certain ly found out where the difficulty lay, in the occasional failures of the crop, here in New England, in the days when our farmers were hopefully trying it, and before they finally gave it up. According to Professor Collier their error was this: they naturally thought the time to cut the cane was when it was full est of juice. This was a mistake. They should have left it till the juice ripened-no matter if the quantity seemed to diminish and then they could have obtained sugar, every time.

A Severe Misfortune.

Charles K. Averill, jr., who assists the treas urer of the Housatonic Railroad Company, had the misfortune to lose the sight of his right eye Monday afternoon. The Bridge port Standard says: He was handling rife cartridge about half-past 2, supposing the cap had been exploded, when the cap was discharged. His face was bent over the cap at the moment, and 8 large wound was in- hicted by the flying fragments. The wound bled so profusely as to weaken him greatly. Dr. Wilson was called, but was unable to find the fragments of the exploded cap and came to the conclusion that they must be embedded in the eye. The sight is destroyed and the useless eye will have to be removed in order to save the other. Had he been able he would have gone to New York yesterday to have the injured eye removed, but as it was not considered prudent for him to make the trip, Doctors Hubbard, Porter and Wilson and New York oculist held 8 consultation in the afternoon and decided what waa hast t0 he done
