MYSTERIOUS DEATH on CANAL-BOAT ATTRI'
BUTED TO NATURAL CAUSES--CORoNER'S IN
QUESTS-TWO SUDDEN AFFLICII0NS-THE
ADDRESS OF THE STATE CENTRAL COMMIT
TEE-WEATHER, &C.
TCorrespondence of the Richmond Dispaich.l
FEBRUARY 10, 1881.
Thursday night a negro boy, whose name
is not given, was found dead on Il plank
in the canal.bOat Ida, OF Cedar Point, which
was mOOred at the time in the upper basin.
The coroner, being notified, viewed the
body, but decided not TO hold an inquest.
1t appeared that the boy had been hired 10
woik on the boat by Captain johnson, and
that he complained the evening before his
death of pains in the chest. The coroner
thought that death resulted from pneumo-
mia, and decided that an inquest was not
necessary.
The coroner OF the city, Mr.. Jacob H..
Robinson, is. suppose, the only gentleman
not physician by profession who occupies
that position in the State. Mr.. Robinson Is
collector OF city taxes. At inqucstS, when
circumstances seem To justify il, medic ii
testimony is called in, though in most places
the preliminary opinion OF the coroner IS
already professional, that officer being him
self q physician.
Misfortunes never come single. Iester-
day respectable colored family named
Wbitow almost simultaneously received
two telegrapbic diSpaIches-tbe one sum
moning the head of the house TO his mo-
Their, who had been fatally burned in Dan
vile: the other urging another member OF
the family TO come TO the death-bed OF a
relative in another city. In each case the
SUmmODS WAS UnpXDpctpu,
The address OF the State Central Commit
tee is well spoken OF here, and 1t is hoped
that it will produce a favorable effect in
healing the breach in the party, and in solid
flying the votes OF the white people against
ali risk OF a Radical aud negro triumph.
The weather is really Summer-like this
morning. There was 4 heavy rain last
night, which restored some OF the mud,
which bad almost disappeared. | will not
risk another guess at the altitude OF the
mercury, but it is certainly nowhere in the
eghbOrhOod OF the freezing point.

Extension Of the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad.

According to the Philadelphia Iaquirer;
the preliminary work for the construction
of connection between the Shenandoah
Valley railroad aud the recentlS-purcbased
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad has
been put in shape, and that OF completing
the Valley road TO its southern terminus is
being rapidly pushed forward. 1t is under
stood that the company will at once build a
new road OF IFS own by which TO reach Har-
risburg from HagerstOwn, Md, the present
northern terminus of the road. The COM
pany now runs its cars to Harrisburg from
liagerslown via the Cumberland Valley
railroad, which is controlled by the Penn.

The Potatoes First Introduced in Eng
land were taken from Santa Fe. n NJ
New Mexico is probably much better en-
titled to the credit of being the home of
the potato than either Chill or Peru After
the potato became generally known in
Europe wild variety was found in the
mountains OF Chilli and Peru. but it is not
unlikely that the same might be found -
should q competent botanist make search
in New Mexico and Arizona; also pro-
badly. in this state and in parts of Utah
and Colorado. In Iowa. Illinois. and
some others of the western prairie states
as we learn by exchanges from those sec
tons. the potato crop was this year almost
failure in many places. The plant there
seems to have run out. and the tubers
produced are small and waxy when cook
ed. Let the people of those states seud
TO Nevada for seed potatoes. and next sea
son they will produce tubers the like OF
which they have not seen in many long
year. In Iowa and Illinois the varieties
of wheat were formerly wont to run out
occasionally. as their potatoes seem now
TO have done, when the remedy was to
send to the Red river of the North for
seed. All was then right for few years.
when 1t again became necessary Ia renew
the seed from that greatest natural wheat
country of the union. the Red river Of the
North.-Nerddd Paper.

Experimental Farming.

hope TO live to see the day when in
all our great states there shall be one
central experimental station, under the
charge of estate secretary, or farm sup
erintendent ut the agriculture college Of
the state, and then corresponding secre-
tary in each county of the state. and the
farm of this corresponding secretary
made subordinate experimental station,
10 carry out ut least one experiments each
year under the direction of the state sec
ret.ry. should insist that these cores
pondiug secretaries be paid fer their work
literally. if it was properly done. and it
only single experiment was attempted
ut each subordinate station. the expense
would be small. A farmer could afford
to carry out single experiment for S25 to
$50, and the amount might be taken off
the peed ring premiums-in most coun-
ties-and would hardly be noticed. In
time, as the subordinate stations gained
experience, there could more be attemp-
ted. These corresponding secretaries
should make monthly or semi-monthly
crop reports through the growing season,
and should make trip through their
counties when ordered to do so by the
secretary, and should be paid for this SER
vice fair per diem. If the secretary Of
any state board of agriculture had ii trusty
man in each county who was pledged to
obey his orders, and could send out these
men just before wheat harvest or corn
huskng, to ride through these counties
inspecting the crops and distributing
blanks. we should get from their reports
better ideas of the yield and condition of
crops than has vet been published. The
experiments carried out would cover
enough territory. and be repeated often
enough to be of great value.-Comnuni
cation in country Gentleman.
