NEW York, Nov. 1.-The trial of
florence Quinn, charged with illegal
registration. commenced to day before
Judge Woodruff. a motion was
made by his counsel to quash the in
dictment, on the ground of an error
in empannelling a jury. The motion
was oveTruled. The counsel then en-
tered a geaeral demurrer on the
ground that an act OF Congress was
invalid ana imperative, and also that
the indictment did not contain any
fact constituted IN the offense against
that law The counsel argued that
there was actually no law of Congress
against fraudulent registration, and
that a person could not be proceeded
against in a United States Court on
that charge. The District Attorney
will reply.

A late number of the Country Gen. tlemdn has an article on the import ance of more general cultivation of corn. He says there are more reasons for growing corn on large scale, and in all parts of the country, than any other farm crop-even in those locali- ties that are especially adapted to wheat. It says that in all wheat coun' tries rotation is necessary, and corn is found to be one of the most essen tial crops in rotation. The grain is needed for the team and stock, and to help in making pork, while the fodder is a great help in wintering stock.

generation of proud American citizens,
will mantle with the blush of shame, as
they read the Congressional Globe con

into history The inexorable hand Of
the reporter has written them down, and
they belong to the world at large. The
indications are now, that the vindictive
spirit that prompted these, is dying out,
and the day is rapidly approaching when
the authors of some of these bitter
speeches, will beseech the historian to
blot them from the pages upon which
they stand, crying shame upon the

The Farmer says Messrs. c. & E. Milliken
of this city, have made purchase of land
embracing the old Shepards and Steamboat
Wharves in HalowelI, for the purpose Of
erecting steam mills thereon for the manufac-
ture of lumber. Their purchase is admirably
adapted to the business, giving them a water
front Of more than = thousand feet, where
vessels can lie at any stage Of water in the
river, and load from the mills. Having bought
the large floating planning mill at Bath, they had
it brought to Hallowell, lifted upon Steamboat
Wharf, and fitted up as the foundation for
mill, which is now in process of completion,
and will in few days be ready for use. The
building is 32x92 feet, and is to contain cir
cular, planer and clapboard, lath and shingle
machines to be driven by an engine OF 70
horse power. An engine and boiler house
has also been erected in connection with the
mill. Everything done by them is Of sub

mill upon which they are now engaged is COM
pleted and in running order, it is understood
that they intend the erection Of large steam

Fodder Corn.


Some people choose to give their fodder
corn to their cattle whilst the plants are young
and before the stalks become hard. This is
not the best practice. When the corn stalks
are spindled, they contain the full amount of
saccharine or nutritive matter, that is reardy
to pass into the car and make the corn. If
harvested at that time and cut up into small
pieces the cattle will eat the stocks as greedi-
ly as the leaves, and thus derive the largest
amount of support from the fodder.
