PhIlopoiis, 9Th District.-Thc changes in
the weather within the past three weeks have
truly been great aud sudden. Al one time the
moot disagreeabie, windy and wintTy weather
with the mercury at u degrees below freezing
point, was experienced. and this followed by damp
and exceedingly sultry weather, which has had 4
damaging effect upon corn, both 10 the field and
crib. Some complaint about IL moulding has been
heard much 90 that corn gathered from the
shock Is said to be unit for seed planting Those
who gathered their corn during the warm, damp
weather and stored IL away in the husk are now
fearful Of IL damaging. and are having IL husked
20 prevent much loss. GENERALLY, corn had been
cut or In shocks 20 as 10 seed the ground, and
this is one advantage In cutting of. but IL must
be admitted that the corn does not dry we'll a.
when topped. Ono Of our oldest farmers has
always condemned the cutting OF plan because OF
moro injury and the slower way Of getting l,
housed and harder work In connection with IL.
lie says the that fret proposed 20 cut OF and
shock in the field ought TO have been tarrcd and
fcathered. II is a fact that where shocks were
made large and care not taken in putting up, corn
will spoil. One neighbor had 25 or more barrels
Of the best corn very much damaged. The brother
Of the ncighbor who condemned the cutting on
plan always advocated Il and has said he will
hereafter adopt the topping.

doubtless arrives at q certain number of in
teresting facts, but his prose is utterly IN
trustworthy aud too full of his own person
atty to be practical. The whole system Of
reporting and ne77s-gathering is trivial.

An Honest Girls Reward.
Texas Siftipgs.1

In the year 1869 there died in Paris q rich
old bachelor, who left bis entire fortune to a
poor girl, a seamstress, who was, moreover.
CID man ignoring his friends and relatives
puzzled everybody very much. The deceased
was what might be called an original. He
was quite eccentric. In order to test the
honesty of his fellow creatures he was in the
habit Of resOrting to many curious expert
ments, which as a general thing, did not i'm
prove the bad opinion he already had Of the
human race. One OF his plans to ascertain
how many honest people there We're travelling
in Onnibuses was to occupy The seat nearest
the conductor and hand the fare of passengers
to that official Instead Of handing the exact
fare TO the conductor he would give the con-
dUctor coin Of larger value. When the
passenger received back his excessive change,
in fifteen consecutive instances, he quietly
pocketed the money.
The sixteenth person who received back eX-
cassive change was a young, poorly dressed
girl who had pity for the poor conductor,
who only got three francs day, and would
lave to make good the loss. She Immediately
exclaimed: Conductor, you have given me
too much change" and returned him the sur
plus money. The eccentric was agreeably
surprised. When the girl left the bus, he
followed her, and having made further in
quiry about her, satisfied himself that she
was respectable. The small coin that the girl
returned to the conductor made her the
heIress of half million francs.
