 King Cotton.-The Greenville Advocate says: MT T. Steen of Monterey sent us couple of stalks of cotton last Monday that were over feet high, well devel- oped and filled with squares. On each stalk there were three or four blooms. The sample must have come from pet patch, as it is far ahead of the general crop.

Many curious eggs have been seen, but none like this one has ever been dis played in this city before. It was not quite so large as an average hen egg, and it's pecullarity consisted of it being in two parts, or nearly so, joined by very small neck. It was covered with a hard shell, a portion of which formed the neck which connected the two globular parts. We have seen miniature eggs, and we have seen monster eggs, but we have never before seen twin eggs joined to- gether in this manner.
