BEECHER FORETER.
Henry Ward Eeecher retains his
old power over an audience. A news
paper correspondent, who recently ct.
tended his church, says:

SEED CORN.
From all we can learn the question
Of Seed Corn for the coming season will
be very important one. The supply
is short in nearly all the Western
States and prices will probably range
high. For this section. there is an
other important question to meet, viz:
to secure seed adapted t" this latitude.
The Kansas and Nebraska seed used
last year, it seems, did not give salts
faction.
The B., e. r.. & n. Railroad freight
department has issued !, circular in
which it says:
native corn on the line Of the Chicago.
Rock Island Il Pacific railroad; reliable
advice is received that it is being Sc
cured by responsible grain men with a
view of supplying farmers. Il name
these dealers herewith, so that those
desiring to do so may fully Investigate:
Booman 4 Hard, Atlantic. Iowa;
John Findley, Marne, Iowa; j. Nc
Euchnm, Marne, Iowa; l. 4. Spangler,
Walnut, Iowa; Hancock & Co.. Avoca.
Iowa; &. l.. Roberts. Oakland. Iowa;
Harris & Meyers, Lewis, Iowa. 1t
might be well for each community
to send representative to this section
to fully consider and test the worth of
the seed referred to. We will furnish
cheap transportation for such purpose.
Give the substance of this circular All
the publicity possible; the dealers
should be particularly interested. This
company will haul consignments at
greatly reduced rates, and secure lib
eral figures from connecting lines. ii.
