From our Georgia Correspondent

| Editor of The Florida AggtcuttMTsst;
The news inthis section of country
| is particularly scarce. The farmers
are all busy gathering, housing and
| ginning their cotton, which same is
being sold at small price. The
crops have been unusually large. Had
it not been for the freshet, OF which I
spoke in my last, the farmers would
have done remarkably well. Not.
withstanding that terrible disaster I
observed that they are, as a general
thing, very gay and happy and accept
| it as possible blessing in disguise.
asked one of the young men who
| lost heavily by the freshet, what
would probably be the number OF
bushels of corn lost. He exclaimed
with an emphasis peculiarly his own:
"Not one nubbin less than 200, 600
bushels, not one single solitary nub>
bin !"
Col. Codrington has been all ex~
tensive traveller, and when it comes
to botanical subjects doubt if there
is better informed gentleman in the
south. 1t may be nothing new to
him while to his readers it certainly
will be, as it was TO me, TO know Of
tree in the virgin and perfumed
forests of Mayobamba, in Columbia,
which has been denominated by the
naturalists of that country, the "Rain
Tree" 1t is wonderful product OF
vegetation, reaches the height of sixty
feet and is three feet i'll diameter at
the base. 1t has the tacultyto absorb
and condense the dampness OF the
atmosphere. One can see the water
dropping continually from its trunk
and branches, and in such an abun-
dance that the ground surrounding is
completely muddy. 1t is remarkable
how this rain tree shows it's vitality,
especially in summer when the rivers
are low and the smaller streams dry
and when there is a general scarcity
of water.
From an Italian paper CLEAN the
following: "The Animales d'Hygieni
publique" refers that Americans, a
short time since, have commenced to
manufacture and export to Europe
new kind of cheese which is but a
mixture of sour milk, lard and mar
garine. This combination has the

needs before the Postmaster General,
has secured us money order Office, this
being the second in the county, and now
he is clamoring for daily mail for this
coming winter with a tair prospect of
success.
With our increasing population we find
that the two large schooners and sloop
cannot keep us supplied with provisions.
Now we are to have steamer to start
from New York on the 18th inst, direct
for Daytona, and hereafter will ply semi
weekly between here and Jacksonville.
There will also be two river steamers,
one to run Oh the Halifax and Hills
borough rivers and one on the Indian
river to connect at the Haulover, to re-
ceive freight and passengers for the out
side steamer. AS soon as the Disstcn
Canal is cut through from the Matanzas,
the steamer will run through to St.
Augustine.
We have promise of large immigra.
ton the coming winter some are already
here and others on the way, and with our
increased facilities of communication
we will probably have as many as we
can accommodate.
We have had an accession of forty or
fifty laborers IN our community during
the last few months, ane all have had
work. Much land is being cleared ard
in the low lands many bitches have
been dug to prepare for future orange
groves.
Mr.. Trainers new hotel has the frame
up and is being inclosed. Mr.. Trainer
also designs building number of cot
tages for families who take their meals
in the hotel. We learn that Messrs.
Bostwick and Marsh intend building q
number of tasty cottages on Silver Beach,
and will grade road from there to thu
ocean tor carriages.
Mr.. Vandorne's new house is being
enclosed and will soon be ready for
boarders.
DIR. Garrison, OF Lake Winnemissett,
was called here to treat DIR. Coleman
who has been very low, but is improv-
ing so he rides out occasionally. While
here Dr. Garrison has taken charge of
several cases OF chronic diseases, con-
tracted at the north and is helping them.
We hope he will remian till they
are cured, as he seems to understand
their treatment.
DIR Voorhis, of DeLand, has bought
him two lots on Ridgewood, on which
to erect him summer residence. We
don't want to rob DeLaud but would
like the DIR. to make his permanent home
with us.

is occasioned, and it is matter OF
vital Importance never to let the roots
be exposed to the atmosphere, but
have them we'll saturated during res
moval, as we'll as when set out in po'
sition. One or two hoelngs after
they are set out, toklll out weeds and
afford the necessary cultivation, will
be needed preparatory to mulching,
which should be about the Towering
period.
Vegetable seeds sown the two
previous months will now be making
progress. Those ready for transplant
ing, such as caulifower, tomatoes,
cabbage, onions, lettuce, ETC., should
be transplanted as occasion offers and
where these occur too thickly in their
seed bed, 1t will secure sturdiel
growth, if they are thinned out and
placed in other quarters pending res
moval to their final situation. The
spindIy growth characteristic Of
crowded seeding is almost certain to
be perpetuated throughout the cut'
tivation, and no amount of after care
can remedy defects that had their or
igin at the start, therefore, in seed
ing any ground, it is well to allow
for the development. Sow thinly
rather than thickly. AS to the dis
lance that transplanted vegetables
should be one from another, a great
diversity of opinion prevails. Among
cabbage and others, where the size
they attain varies, it is necessary TO
give greater space to the mammoth
varieties, while dwarf kinds will not
require so much. In most seed list,
directions are appended to the vari-
Gus varieties bearing on this subject.
1t tends to the succulence and fla>
vor of most vegetables to grow them
quickly, and where the ground is not
otherwise rich it should be made so
by proper manuring and where water
is abundant and can be applied, it is
an incentive of inestimable value.

The star Routes.

Washington, 21.-In the Star Route
trial this morning, hinkley, Of counsel
for the defense, proceeded with his srgu-
u ents.
The court inquired whether RinkIe
wac not little premature in making his
argument, no noLLe pros having been
entered as to Turner, DOR had the Jury
found 8 verdict scquittinR him.
Hinkle-"Mr. Merrick DISCHARGED him
from the case"
The Court-"No."
Mr.. Hinkle-"He said what is eqHiVA-
lent, that be would ask the Jury to return
no verdict against Turner"
The court Turner is entitled to have
a verdict from the jury. That verdict
has not yet been rendered and he l. still
On trial, and for aught the court can
know judicially, the jury may find him
guilty. Would not the proper time for
this argument be upon . motion for ar
rest Of judgment7" +.
Hinkle- Ny object now is to per-
suade tina court to Instruct the jury that
il they find Turner not guilty, they must
ind the others not guilty"
binkle argued that Turner Was IS
essential part of the scheme cf The In
dIetment 40 was Brady.
The court-I do not see that.
Hinkle said he did not contend thst The
indictment Right have been framed lesy-
Ing out Turner completely, but according
10 the pending indictment, whea the
COUNSEL for the government said "exit
Turner" the Law said ''exeHnt Ozsnes, 7"
HiHkle then began his address to the
jury. Before addressing the jury he
called the attention of the court TO the
scheme Of the indictment. The govern
meDt had conceded that the branch OF
the conspiracy which in The Indictment
had been attributed to Turner was not
sustained By proof, and he argued that
Turaer and Turner's performance we're .
necessary part of the scheme Of the In
dictment, and that if the case had failed
as to him it had failed as 10 all. Hs9Ave
notice that he would present prayer to
that effect.

SONERS.

The weather during the past week

Your correspondent is naturally of a
peaceful disposition, but would advise
farmers to get their clubs in readiness
In the event of their being called upon
by the Lightning Rod Fiend," who
has been operating in this town upon
several individuals. The mode of
business is about as follows: A man of
good address and an oily tongue agrees
to put up rods on all Mr.. Farmers
buildings for the sum of five dollars.
The farmer thinks this fine chance to
have the job done cheap, and signs an
agreement to have his buildings dec
GRATED with the useful appendages.
The next day the men are promptly on
hand and put up the rods without stint,
and begin to measure and figure and
present a bill for so many feet of rod
at SO much per foot, amounting to a
good many dollars. Farmer expostu-
lates, but is told that the agreement
was for the labor in putting up rods,
but does not include material, SO the
victim gets out of the scrape the best
way he can. One person paid thirty
seven dollars cash and gave a note for
two hundred more; another gave his
note for twenty dollars, which l hear
was afterwards raised to two hundred
dollars.
