Buckner at Bowling Green. Among
the number was our present Auditor

of this place, and one Mr.. Bynn, of
Uniontown, were in the stable loft.
"a company of Yankees came up
and opened fire on them. Maj, Nor

held to their place and could not get
uway. For some time they fired with
vigor upon their assailants, but at last
seeing no other hope of escape they
leaped from their position to the
ground among the enemy, amid a
shower OF bullets, mading their escape
unhurt. DR.. Hite was afterward
caught, and after spending some time
in an old log Jail at Morgantown, was
carried to war prison, and spent the
remainder of the war there.
"The company proceeded along the
Bowling Green road some two miles

A Remarkable Discovery.

a discovery which, if verified, is H.,
most important OF this century, espo
cially TO the agricultural interests OF
the nation. Every farmer knows ID,

In 1854 Mr.. s,ewar, began sys-
TEN Of scientific experiments to de
cover Il any nutritivo value attached
to the stalks and blades Of the corn
plants. These experiments in his car
licr researches were not valuable in
general, but a chemical examination
Of the corn stalk al a certain period

prcseuoe of IL per cen, of cane sugar
The remarkable per centage OF sugar
Is present just when the grain in the
ear begins 10 harden, If the stalk il
left standing as usual the sucrose dis
appears entirely.
At this time. according 70 chemical
research, the ear Of corn has also
reached perfection from a nutritive
standpoint, and should be cribbed
withou, delay. These experiments
have been pcristenly followed by Mr.
Stewart through period Of years and
the results reached are - astounding
in importance that we can scarcely
believe them true. Instead OF one
crop We have two. The grain is much
improved in value and not diminished
in quantity. The cane, heretofore
worthless and considered an incum.
brance. become a fully developed su.
gar cane, highly impregnated with
cane sugar.

stocks in practical work are.near in
sweetness to the figures given, the
sugar 10 hc obtained will in dollars

This is not matter tor private invest
ment. 1t becomes the duty Of States
to begin practical examination and
demonstration how 20 best utilize the
discovery in n commercial way. Many
states have experimental agricultural
stations. These stations, at the ex-

viii Submit a Petition.

Since the separate coach law went
into effect passengers, regardless at
color, are prohibited riding freight
trains. Only II caboose is attached to
these trains and there being no parti'
tions in cabooses, passengers could not
be separated, hence the order. This
causes much inconvenience TO people
living north of this city, as they are
forced to TO spend the night in the
city and some times two nights in order
to transact any business and return
home on the cars. 1t is understood
that the people Of Croiton and other
points between that place and Earring
ton will petition the l. II N to attach
passenger coach to the local trelsn'
for their henehi, and thus obviate the
difficulty now experienced.
