busy one in this city, business in the orphans

Much INQUIRY has been made concerning
the profit IN growing vegetables for canning
establishments, and a gentleman who has
been in the business for number Of years
gives US the following facts:
An acre Of sugar corn. planted three feet
apart, viii contain 4Sl0 hills; three and a
half feet apart 1856 hills. and four feet apart
2722 hills The first plan IS IN common use,
and It is a fair average TO say that there will
be two ears to the hill, which, at FIVE GEMS
per dozen, will yield S40.30 per acre. Extra
early peas will yield go bushels per acre and
generally sell at 81 per bushel. Marrow-iat
peas will yield $50 bushels per acre, worth %
cents per bushel. Tomatoes will yield from
IL to Is tons per acre, and readily sell al %
cents per bushel, or from So TO 81 per ton.
Il seems 10 us that at these prices eultlva-
ting vegetables will pay q larger profit than
growing wheat or corr, especially to those
who own small farms. 1t is becoming more
and more apparent to the careful observer
that eastern farmers cannot compete with the
wheat growers Of the great west. Our euiti-
walton must become more diversified In order
to make it profitable, and the sooner our Peo-
pie realize that fact the better it sill be for
them. The farmers of Carroll would do we'll
to give this branch Of agriculture mere atten
ton. Let them begin at once, as they Will
find ready market for all that they produce

Prof los NJ NewSon-D Dear Sir:-Having received
notice that our much esteemed friend, Mr.. John c.
Nutting, intended to hold public oral examination
of his school on Friday last, we determined TO pay
him visit. The day was a fine one for such an oc-
casion. and as we entered the room we were kindly
received bv the veteran and found him surrounded
by his pupils and Il large number of parents and
friends of the school. The examination in its en-
tretv demonstrated only the fact that the pupils
rossessed an unusual amount OF natural ability, but
that this ability and talent being guided and d
rectol by a master hand and was being moulded and
shaped to meet the true ends sought by public school
education and discipline. At the close Of the exer
cses spccehes were made by Mr.. Francis Herring, of
the Board Of school Commissioners and others com
plimenting both teacher and pupils on the success
fu issue Of the years work all expressing complete
satisfaction in having been so fortunate as to secure
the services OF such an efficient and experienced
teacher TWAS evident that the patrons were trying
touphold their teacher and had entire confidence
in him. We went away feeling well repaid for our
visit Respectfully, d. l. FARRAE.

A despatch dated York, Pa, April s, says;
4 plot to destroy the ife OF Peter Trimmer
a resident OF Manchester Borough. ih.s conn
IN. was discovered 30 day before the coasplra-
tors had accomplished their purpose. a
bottle labeled Whisky for Peter Trimmer
was placed 10 a feed ches, in q barn where
Mr. Trimmer usually goes tirst 10 she mora
Tag TO feed stock, and which It was supposed
he would drink. Fortunately a daughter OF
Mr. Trimmer went FIRST 10 the barn oa Non
day morning and discovered the secreied bot
tie, and suspecting some crooked business
took the bottle to physician, who aaaiyzei
its contents and fdand that ID contained q
quantity Of poison
Mr. Irimmeris what addicted To- drink
ing, whien the parties evidently kuew. and
set this deadly dFausht where he would be al
most certain TO fad IT, As 10 who the per
petrators of this plot are there IS no clue, bat
there is a general idea existing thal il was
done for the purpose of realizing % heavy
amount OF insurance which is held upon BIS
life. Mr.. Trimmer Is ahoat 20 years Of age.
His lie Is insured IA various speculative com
panies for upward of twenty thousand dollars
the policies being held by a number OF differ
ent parties. He was assured some time ago
and IS considered, on account OF his age aud
Incorporate habits, q good subject for specu
latiou. The fact of his living longer than was
anticipated and being a heavy cost to those
carrying his policies, suggested this conspiracy
to poison him, which is indicated by the facts
and circumstances now made known. The
case will be thoroughly Investigated by the
companies, and every effort viii be made 10
apprehend the guilty parties. Nearly every
day develops crooked proceedings among
speculative insurance pollcy-hOlders, but this
is one of the most serious things thai has been
brought TO light in a good while.
