Mr.. Fred Thames informs us that a cat

will take care of these kittens until they are
grown, he can easily realize seyera. hun
dred dollars for them from some museum.
One of the principal attractions last
Thursday at the Foreston picnic, was the
cornfeld of Capt. r. R. Hudgins, almost
adjoining the picnic ground. The corn is
planted thick enough to make 150 bushels
to the acre, and the stalks are large enough
for each TO support five or six ears Of corn.
The field itself looks, when one gets in ii
among the corn, like some vast prineval
forest. With good seasons the ten acres
vii yield probably a thousand bushels,
though Capt Hudgins says he win be sat,
isfed with eight hundred. Alr. A. j. Wal,
ter. who is one of the most successful corn
planters in the State, srperintends Mr.
Hudgins's farming Interests.
