Tennessee Corn.

S. w. johnson, ofWilliamson county
returned last night from Washington
City, whittier he went, short time ago
to take the Egyptian prolific corn, here
tofore mentioned in the World. He
succeeded in selling the corn to DR..
Loring, commissioner of agriculture.
DR.. Loring said that it was the finest
corn that had ever been presented there,
and that it had brought the highest
price that had ever been paid in the
history Of the bureau. The corn was
raised in Robertson county. Only
seven or eight acres was planted, but
it yielded between 1000 and 1900
bushels. Mr.. Johnson said that all the
Tennessee congressman, and many
from otherstates had purchased samples

Tobacco Culture.

Numbers of gentlemen who are in
formed upon this subject, among them
the Hon. j. B, Killehrew, ex-commis.
sioner of agriculture of this State, have
pronounced the lands Of Warren coun-
ty, or at least large portions Of it, as
equal in adaptabllity to the growth of
tobacco to some of the best tobacco
producing sections OF this State and
Kentucky. This fact was demonstra-
ted by several farmers in this county
last year to a highly satisfactory de-
gree. DR.. Black distributed a number
Of small packages OF White Burlcy to-
baeco seed to farmers in different parts
Of the county last spring, and he has
now in his Office a number ofspecimeus
of tobacco raised from these seed.

covered an extensive error In the re.
cent coinage at the New Orleans mint
of $4,000 $40 gold pieces they were
found to be two and one.half mills on
the dollar below the standard. 1t is
known that $4,000 of these coins are
in circulation. The authorities are
endeavoring to withdraw them and
have the entire assure re-coined. The
mistake was occasioned by the mint
using faulty sample metal.

A correspondent of the Kansas Far
mer says he has been experimenting
with sorgum as fodder for farm stock,
and finds one acre of it equal to an acre
of corn. His cattle eat it readily, con-
Stunning stalk and all, and it makes them
as sleek and fat as corn.fed stock. He
plants in hills, about double the quanti-
ty he would use if he were culuvating
for syrup, and when the seed is ripe,
cuts, shocks, and cures, same as corn
fodder. If cut before frost, he says it
will keep its sweetness all winter.

HOLMES LINIMENT,
OR, THE
Mothers Friend +!

One of the greatest comforts to those ex
pecting to be confined is remedy upon
which implicit confidence can be placed
one that will produce a safe and quick de-
Everyone that will control pain and short
en- the duration of labor. Such is "THE
MOTHERS RELIEF" Try it and see what
A Blessing il is to Suffering Females.
This liniment, when used two or three
weeks before confinement, produces Won
derful effect, causing a very easy and quick
labor, with comparatively little pain, and
leaves the mother in condition to recover
quickly-or in other words to have a good
getting up. Under its use, labor will usual
ly occupy much less than the usual time,
aud the suffering be diminished beyond ex-
preston.
The condition for which this remedy is Of
fered is of such character as to forbid a
long array of certificates. Those interested
in its use are respectfully referred to the hun
dreds who have used it.

Naples for shade and ornament
should, like grape vines, be pruned in
the Fall. If they are left until spring
or near that time, they will, ifcut, bleed
considerably. While it does not des-
troy tree or vine to have it bleed, Or
to tap it for sap, it does in time weaken
it. We should, if we could, avoid cut
ting or pruning maple trees, except

i STRANGE AND STARTLING DREA1r!!
IsThere a Spirit World ?

A remarkable dream or preternatural vista
ton recently occurred in Louisville, Kentucky:
Mr.. V. E. Morera, gentleman well and favora-
bly, known about town, on retiring for the
night, feeling unwell and nervous, was very rest
less in his sleep, but seemed to himself to be
wide awake and in full control Of his senses. A
vision appeared in his dream showing him
large flaming number commanding him to OBJ
tain it from the lottery and then vanished The
dream was SO startling as to fully awaken him,
and although one who never believed in lottera
les or upheld them, yet try as he would he could
not shake off the vision or forget the numbers
which seemed to be burned in his brain Finally
he called at the Office of the Commonwealth Dis
tribution Co., and paying 81, asked for ticket
with the numbers of his dream on it. Fortunate
ly the number was unsold and his ticket given
him. The drawing was soon to come off and so
nervous and excited had he become that although
against his principles, he deter-Eiued to witness
it, and strangely enough he saw his number
drawn from the wheel and the handsome prize
of $4,000 was his. Was this simply a coinci-
dence? Who can tell? Next drawing takes
place in Louisville, Kentucky, May 81; 1850
