y GRANNIE’S TEST. i BY ETHEL LYNN, : B Deat Grannie is with us no longer. Her hair that was white as the snow - Was parted one niorning for ever, ‘ " On her head lying softly and low; + Her hands left the Bible wide open,, To tell us the road she had trod, - With waymarks like footsteps to tetlus The path sbe\had gone up to God. . g o “ ; £y No wonderful-learning had Grannie, . She knew not the path of the stars, Nor aught of the comet’s wide cycle, . «Nor Nebula’s dim cloudy bars, ) But she knew how the wise men adoring | ° ‘Saw a star in the East long ago, - . Bhe knew how the first Christmas dnthem Came down to the shepherds below. -She never had heard of Hagh Miller, 3 .. Nor knew what philosophers'said; The birthday of each was a prgblem - - Which never disturbed her old head, : About the Pre-Adamite fossilsi - * No mental disturbance she knew. Holding fast to ber faith,pure and holy, . " That ber God given Bible was true. She had her own test, I remember— For people, whoe’er they might be, When we spoke of the strangers about us, - . But lately come over the sea ; 't /Ot “Laura,”” and “'Lizzie,” and ‘“‘Jamie,”’ ' - And stately old ““‘Essellby Oaks,” S 0 She listened and whispered it softly—! “My dear, are these friends meel in’-folks?"’ When.our John went away to the city 2*° ~ With patrons, whom all the world knew ~ To be sober and honest, great merchants, - . For Grannie this all would not do Till she pulled at John’s sleeve'in the twilight To be certain, before he had gone; .=~ - And he smiled as he keard the.old question—‘“Are ye'sure they aré mectin’ folks, John?” When Minnie-came home from the city, ' 'And left hedrt and happicess there, - Fgaw her close kneeling by Graunie, i “With the dear wrinkled hand§ c¢n her hair; And amid the low sobs of the maiden,’ . Came softly the tremulous tone—_ ‘‘He wasn’t like meetiny-folks, Minnie; -~ Dear child, you are better alone.” And now from the.corner we miss her, .. We hear that reminder no more; " Bat still, unforgotten, the echo o ~ Comes back from that far-away shore, i Till Sophistry slinks in the corner,” | - Tho’ Charity sweet has her|due, i Yet we feel, if we wan't to meet Grannie, 'Twere best to be meetin’-folks, too.:

< Advice to old Men by a Boy. . - (From the Cincinnati'Times.). " I cannot pick up a newspaper without ‘Advice to Boys’ stares me in the face. Old men write it, I s’pose. Nobody else is capable of giving any advice to boys; of course not! They know all about us, they do, ’cause they have been there. Advice is.a good thing to have, no doubt, and no fam'ly should be without it, but a feller don’t want to be crammed with it all the time to the exclusion of all other diet. Now, old men néed advice oceasionally, but in looking through the newspers I don’t see as they get it. So I thought I would just write a little Advice to Old Men myself, if T am not presuming too much, (as Aunt Chloe says) and I presume I am.

‘ln the first place, you'old chaps ought to get over telling how much smarter boys were when yo}x’s were Jyoung, than boys are now. You believe it yourselves, of course, ’cause you've told it so many times, but we boys can’t see it. We have a notion that boys are boys pretty much (éxcept some that are girls) the- world over, and onegeneration of them don’t lay over another generation to any alarming extent, :

~ Only let you tell it and you conld “out-jump, ouZwr,est]‘e and out anything ‘else of the rising generation of to-day ‘when’ you was a boy.” Grandfather, who.has got the gouf, and a half a ~dozen different kinds'of theumatism, ie always_saying that.’ I heard him -singing the other day, ‘T would I were & boy again.” I would he were. Ifl -couldn’t beat, him running, and flop ‘him on his back side holts, I don’t -want a cent. | .

I would go eo far as to say ‘Parents, obey your children, butl would sugﬁest ‘to fathers to give us children a earing occasionally, on matters in which we are the ones interested.— Don’t make us go and slide down hill when we want to skate, and don’t try to make preachers of us when we quuch prefer to run a saw mill. This is figurative, but I guess you know what I mean. A

- After giving us boys sage advice about our conduct, and how to behave, you old men ought to be careful how you get relating your boyish scrapes to each other and laughing over them before we are out of earshot. The other day grandfather read me a long lecture about the rights ,of property, temperance and Sabbath breakings That night an old crony of his’n come to visit him, and they had a glass of punch together. They thought I was asleep on the sofa, and the way they run-on about the fun they had when they were boys together! They told all about robbing Captain Lyman’s melon patch, and it turned out it was on a Sundey night too ! ' When I went to bed they were taking their third glass of punch, and I don’t know how many they had affer that. I know grandfather’s rtheumatism was'a great deal worse the next day, and he complained about hig liver. Old men ought to be careful about taking too much yeneh, .. b

" 1 have noticed old men hate to give up that they can’t stand as much as ‘they used to, or as younger men can. They get mad if a feller like me hints that they can’t. ~But what’s the use of fooling yourselves? ‘We've all got to play out some day, and when a man feels he is losing his grip, why not come down. gracefully amf acknowledgothaeamt . Now, in'the above remarks, I don’t mean any disrespect. I like old men in- their place, but don’t want so much of their advice. Give the boys a chance. e

1 > MAxY persons say that they have tried almost every remigtllat has. been recommended for humorsPand they are no better now than when they ‘commenced them, and they have no confidence in anything that is advertised to .cure Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, an\d all gimilar humors. We would say to 'these that there is now a remedy that as yet hag' never failed of curing those diseases. It acts upon an entirely different principle from anything ‘ever offered for them ; it throws humor out of the blood through the skin, when the system can be entirely freed from them. If you will try it, you will not say of this as you bave by the others, for it will cure you. We refer to Dr. Weaver’s Salt Rheum Syrup. : , For sale by all Druggists, feb. Im.

Adulteration of Tea, Coffee, Tobaceo, ' SpicesTahd Four, : ) (From-the New York Globe.) The old adage, ‘that we “must all eat a peck of dirt before we die,” seems to be literally true.—or less than fact —as we examine into the magter. [Tt is gafe to say that no article that enters into the market pure, ‘goes out unadulterated, and usually two or three classes of dealers successively take | ‘their turn in the adulterations. A great many goods and ¢ommodities | are mixed with the more spurious quality in process of manufacture.— ' Nearly verything is subject to this debasement.” Unquestionably such business is reprehensible, if not indecd ] criminal, and from first to last nearly every one is more or less involved, »I either in the mixing, selling or using. Thbé chronic excuse that everybody does it, and the market cannot bear pure goods, soothes the general mind . —as well ag the declaration that “the | ] adulterations themselves are harm- | less, and in some cases positively ben- | | dgficial.” The wrong of cheating, how- | | ever, is not ameliorated junder the dis-' | guise of of any other title. A : { Of late years there has been a won-' '~ derful increage in this business. Spec- " ulative dealers in various articles have extensive manufactories, and employ “alarge capital, immense stock, and ma--ny hands in the work ; nota pound of -their goods is sold in a pure state. Tea - coffée, tobacco, and spices especially -are subject to such manipulation, as “will be seen at a glance at the vast disproportion in prices between the arti~cle at wholesale in their pure statevy—; i and; the pac.kiages or qua.nt.‘tles put up, ‘ or “fixed,” in bulk at retail. . . i : { TEA S | .18 adulterated to an almost incredible ‘ “extent. Many persons suppose that ‘they use the leaves of the tea plant, | just as they were plucked and dried in the Orient, when very likely they. are uging a most base quack com_pound of ‘part tea.and: part other herds leaves doctored up into a “elever” imitation. = Most of the better quality, finer and fresher erops, and choice selections of tea; are used in Europe.— The very best varieties are not to any extent sold for consumption without the Chinese .Empire. These Orientals retain the 'best for their own use, and dispose of the lesser. grades to the “outside barbarians,” among whom they rate the Americans. : All this is in the ‘main good, although lately it is said they save the ‘best leaveés from the drainings of their inns and houses, ré-dry, -color and chest them for export. The Chinese - immigrants in Massachusetts and New Jersey, will not 'use even the best two-doilar tea found in* our -shops, but send for sup“plies - directly to their own country: ‘men’s warehouses in San Francisco. We have a number of “tea milljonaries,” at the head and front of whom is Mr. A. A. Low, the great ship owner.and importer. "His wealth is vast, | “and all has been honestly and honorably made in the genuine tea business. Theré are also a number of tea nabobs who “roll in -gold” coined from the tea adulterating business. A cup of the nicely drawn, pure, fresh article, possesses a most delicious, solacing, stimulant, and a sedative effect, without any deleterious drawback on upon the human system. Adulferated teas do no immediaté injury, the effect is to clog and embarrass the stomach, ‘and ultimately damage the- whole di‘gestive system. Lo It is said that tons of leaves picked from! a plant grown by gardners in’ New Jarsey, are used to mix in with cheap' ‘teas. The compound is then colored, flavored ' and put up for market, Among the many tricks of the | trade are the use of paper wrapping in ‘ flaming colors, and with imitation Chinege letters upon the packages and chests. T : . COFFEE . ; is well known to be extensively adulterated. Universally the very best is mixed with' the poorer, then ground and' sold at ‘the highest price. Usually there is a large admixture of chickory.: Sometimes table beans are burnt and added ; or burnt sugar, dried bread &c. During the war an immense trade was transacted in prepare coffee, of which there were innumerable varieties. - A great deal of this “package’ stuff finds ready sale in the market at the present time. : - it " TOBACCO. 1 There is scarcely a limit to the extravagance of the tobacco adulteration. The good and poor kinds are mixed together, which is more particularly the case with cigars, The poorest of the leaves are rolled up in' the centre, and finished off with a better leaf as a wrapper. Most of the “imported Ha‘vana cigars,” so temptingly advertised * by signs, placards and statues, are ‘made under the same roof that ghel- | | ters the store. A little real Cuban tobacco is used, but qnqgi of the cigars are made up of Connécticut Valley leaves. A liquid sassafrass, or some other: decoction; is prinkled over cigars and tobaceo to ﬂ[;.vor them. Certain varieties of ' forest leaves are extensively used with the poorer tobacco plants. A strong fluid extract fluid extract made from the more rank stems is used to saturate the mass and Froduce a proper degree of color and ragrance.

Prof. 0. S. Fowler’s Lecture on Lovey ~ Courtship, Selection and Marriage. :. (From the Louisville vConrier.) . . Weisiger hall was filled almost entirely last night with an audience of fair ladies and gallant men, whose faces were lighted up in eager anticipation of what Prof. Fowler had to say of love courtship and marriage. The lecture was: of - great length, and we are unable to give more than'a brief abstract of it. After referring to the sbject of love, at some length, and its various inﬂuences,'he!cama to the eonsideration of the selection of conjugal companions, and said, in substance : The true basis of love and selection is similarity. - Nature must keep her genera and species apart. If the lion and{; the lamb were, to amalgamate, their species would be spoiled. You never- knew much happiness-to exist between -a white man and an Indian gquaw, because their tastes are so different. The savage man shonld marry the savage woman, the Turk ghould marry a Turk, the Christian, a Christian, &c. Not only so, but the same kind of Christain, the Baptist a Baptist, the: Campbellite a . Campbellite, and the Know-Nothing a Know-Noth-ing. [Laughter.] I appeal to you to know if, when youdove, you do not love some one in gympathy with you? ‘There are, of course, some exceptions. You gometimes sce a long, lean, lank, Mr. Stork married to a heavy, plump Mrs. Partridge. Then you find the heavy, coarge-grained elephant married to the fine, nervous and susceptible angel.— This is well, because her over-vitality’ is ‘exhausted by his animal nature, and their offspring are better than they. This is a point well worth your consideration, for no sin is g 0 great as that of cursing .your children with poor bodies by an ill-advised marriage.— Wherein you are medium in any regpect you marry medium, but wherein you are extreme in any temperament or predisposition, marry your opposite. If your hair is a bright red, marry a black haired woman. If it is medium, you may marry a shade darker, but if your hair curls, don’t marry a lady who has curls unless they'can be ‘easily taken. off. [Laughter.] I think I have made this so plain who 18, and who is not adapted to you, and this is the most important problem of your life. ; * Men are always the poorest judges ot themselves. The conceited man is the last to find out’ his conceit, and the humble man the last to . realize his humility. o

““Oh, wad some power the gi‘ﬁie gieus ‘ To see oursel’s as ithers see us.’’ | Phrenology teaches this:' there is nothing more valuable than a knowledge of one’s. gelf. " : "Po you; young men, I would say, ascartain whether or not your lady love can make good bread,for if she can’t you will have to eat a great deal of dough; and if so, it will be no'matter, for it will only be dough-heads eating dough. [Laughter.] The plain faet is thatibread has to be baked, and you can draw your inference. Then, again, seeto it that your lady love is healthy. There are two causes of the female weaknesee% of ‘to-day. First, fashionakle habits”; 'and here I would say, girls, be healthy first, and then just as fashionable as yoa please. Arit other is female boarding schools. They take our daughtera and pack them between brick and mortar walls, and tell thein- they must not romp or take exercise, because : it.is not ladylike, and many of them are literallv educated to death. The great want of American society is robust, healthy mothers, and the longer you live the truer you will ' find this remark. The first element of a husband is manliness. With them, you have all ; without them you.have nothing. Young ladies, you may take it as a fixed fact that if your beau is capable of mistreating his washerwoman, he will treat you the same way. In courtship, the first great error of young folks is that they court by the quarter. They love here a little and there a little, whereas the ldw of true love is permanency. A man may love his wife ever so much, but if he dallies with other women it will kill his love for the wife, or her love will kill the other; it is impossible for a man to love two women at the same time.— Now, when you whispered love to your sweetheart, was it not an exclusive love? Suppose a lover says, Kate, I love you for this, that.or the other, but I love Lotta for something else; what does Kate say ? Why, she tells him, ““‘Away with your love; I don’t want it.” Be careful when you begin to love, and unless marriage is your object, do not continue it. Young man, don’t dare to call out the affections of a young lady unless you can make her your wife. Her love is her life and you have no business with it, unless she is your prospective wife. It is a dangerous thing to trifle with a girl’s affections, and there is not so much fiction about broken hearts as you may imagine. A lady, Mrs. Ayers, had two ‘pigeons which she kept in one cage with only bars between them, and when one of them was taken away the other -flew about in prison in great distress, and finally fell down dead, and a subsequent examination showed that its heart was aetually burst in twain. So of a young lady who was disappointed in love. She refused to marry, and lived a life of devotion to her first love, though she was years in recovering' from the shock of her disappointment. At her death she requested that a post mortem examination be made, and that post mortem showed that there had been an actual sunderring of the heart. I tell you that broken hearts are not entirely figurative, but if they were, you should not trifle with the affections of any one, and thus do them a wrong which néver can be remedied. But you say, Professor, I cannot be decently polite to the ladies without being involved in a love affair. Well, I tell you, no young lady under twenty.one ever gave her love unsolicited ; and here I will tell you a story : A young Hoosier once said to a Hoos: ieress, '%al, is there anybody courtin’ you now !’ meahing thereby to inquire whether or not his addresses were acceptable. ' And Sal replied, Well, Sam, there is one fellow sorter courfin’ and

gorter not; but I reckon it iz more sorter not than sorter’—as much as to say, come on if you like.. 'Let me advize yon not to do your couxtihg"kihder sorter” Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Again, if you have to marry the whole family in order to get your sweetheart, let me tell you that the old folks will interfere, and let me advige you.tor open -the doors and windows and tell them that their room i better than'their company. By all means stick to your wife. If, as is often the case, thereis a sister, who is jealous of the _attentions which are given to the wife, instead of the.sister, and she interferes by pointing out what she considers a fault, and gays, your wife is noty guch a pink of perf%ction after all, that sister deserves pitching. out of a second story window, head first. . _ —— 4 — . JFirst Railroad in the United States, - The Harrisburg State Journdl, in an article [on public improvements in Pennsylvania, has the following: - - It is. generlly supposed that the Tramway railroad, from Quincy gran. ite quarries to Boston, was the first railway'in America. . Delaware county antedates this efiort by 20 years. The Tramway at Leiper’s stone quar-! ry, in that county, was conbktructed in 1806, and that at the Quincy quarries in 1826. The first railroad, however, that approximated in mode of construction to those now in use, was.that laid -down from Mauch Chunk to the mines of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company in 1827. In 1837 the Legislature passed a.bil authorizing the Lehigh Company to connect the navigation on the iehigh with the canal on the Susquehannah at Wilkesbarre by a railroad. Under this act the Lehigh and Susquehannah Railroad was. completed in 1843, and in 1867 it was extended down the Lehigh to Easton. In this same wonderful and marvelously rich valley, and, historically, one of the most interesting parts of the State, iz the Lehigh, Valley Railroad, begun in 1850 and completed in 1856, mainly through the efforts of Asa Packer. By the consolidation of several interior lines, this company now affords a continuous route through the Lehigh coal regions to New York State line. As’ early, therefore, as 1840, Pennsylvania had a total length of 1,280 miles. of canal, of which 433 miles were owned by private corporationg, and 795 miles. of rail, 118 miles of which were owned by the commonwealth. . o .

The Wooster Route. T - The Wayne county Democrat makes the following important announcement: © “Hon. Geo.. Rex has returned from Baltimore, whither he -had gone with Harvey Howard, Esq., and other gentlemen to have an interview with Mr, Garrett touching the location of the pro-posed-Baltimore, Pittsburg & Chicago Railroad through this city. The result of that interview was not encouraging ; and the reason it was not encouraging was that our citizens had not subserib‘ed stock to the proposed road on the scale that Mr, Garrett had been led to believe they would. "Instead of an-av-erage of ten thousand dollars to the mile having been subsecribed through this country, there has not been subscribed an average of six thousand dollars to the mile ; and the Wooster sub. scription did not carry with it the impression that the city had either wealth or enterprise, Under these circumstances it is not to be expected that ‘the Baltimore and Ohio. Railroad will take hold and build a road through this section. The people along other routes will do better—will do- all they are asked to do. The question has not been - decided, and probably. will not be decided for three or four weeks: but as mattérs now stand, there is 7o hope Jor Wooster. : ' A New Vice. ‘ A writer in the Chicago Republican gives warning against the terrilile consequences of a too frequent or injudicious use of chloral, the newly invented anwsthetic.— Hegays:v - ‘ - “T have of late observed that its usc 1s quite common among men and women of nervous temperament, for the relief of pain and sleeplessness. But there is a danger attending its indiscriminate use, ‘and of this'danger the public ought to be warned. © !

‘“As'we haveopium-eaters, hashish-eat-ers, etc., we hava now chloral-eaters. No less than a dozen came under my own observation. One prominént clergyman of this city related his experience to me, and as it coincides with that of others, it is Fren as an exdmple. - “For a f¢gw nights it was taken for sieeplessneg§—its effects were very pleas ant\, then/came on a peculiar dimness, or weakmess of sight ; he had to read with one §ye 4t the time—for a minute or two with eéach.

The tongue had apeculiar appearance, a black streak, like that caused by ink—extended the whole length of the tongue, in its centre.” The symptom of diagnostic or: chloral-eating, and I have always observed it in those who have taken the drug any length of time, or a few.days, or a few weeks.” . ————l]- E——— . Revivals. ‘ ) For the last two or more wecks revivals have been in progress in several of our churches, and the accessions that have been gainéd thereby are said to be numer:ous and of a reliable class. On the subject of revivals we find an article in & city paper, from the pen of a gentleman whose déclining health admonished him to leave ‘the pulpit, wbich so exactly accords with our views that we cannot resist giving it place. The writer says: “ Our judgment is that there are two kinds of revivals—one of the deep thought and convictian,and one of noise and transient excitement. The first is the result of intelligent and permanent instruction, -while the other is .brought about by the superior tact and excitable hLarangues of an impulsive preacher., The one converts men to the broad platform of a liberal charity, and the other manipulates its subjects into cgotistical dogmas and sectarian proscriptionism, totally inconsistent with any true conceptions of a grand humanity. Ore of the special purposes of Christianity is to suppress bigotry and intolerance, and therefore whatever causes produce littleness or narrow-mindedness is incompatible with the Divine intelligence of Cbrigtinntrutl’p. These are our views, and if any differ with us, they have free permission to do so.”— Huntington Democrat.

| A .Card From Senator Elliott. ' . To the Editor of the Sentinel: In the organization of the Senate I acted independently ofparty, at a time when ‘my i vote. could benefit some friends and could ' not have-brought svccess to the Republi- | can party. Since then, in all test quesi tions, I have voted with the Republican’ party, until this evening, when 1 ‘was surprised’and mortified to find the party | voting to sanction the monstrous violation ot the Constitution of the United States in" compelling four Southern States: to ratify the fifteenth amendment at the the dictation of Congress. -~ 4 In the meantime, I have been so grossly -abused by Republican newspapers and ' self-constituted leaders, charged with trea- - som, bribery, etc., that self-respect forbids - me longer to acknowledge myself 4 nieml ber of that party, or'tojact with'it, | The responsibility must rest with those | who have persecuted me. I will mect | them before the people at the proper time. ’ lenceforth I shall act independently of ‘ all party dictation from the men who | have sought to ruin me ana blacken my | character. Besides, on the greatdcading issues—tariff and taxation—l have been in theory,and shall hereafter be in practice, a friend of the people. o JaMES ELLIOTT. Indianapolis, January 39, 1871, In thus giving publicity, to the sentiments of Senator Elliott, we deem it l proper to annex thercunto the remarks of | the Cobnersville Ezaminer, a democratic’ i paper published at-his own home. Rer plying to a criticism. of Mr. Elliott’s con- | duct by the republican paper of the same | 'place, the Eraminer gives utterances to | thie following sensible and well-considered | remarks: = - 1 | “Men should be what they seem. SenL ator Elliott held office as we have said before, for cight ~ years, giving . entirc satistaction te his party. So well pleased with him were his friends, that they re- | warded him with the seat he now holds. | Up to the day on which he voted twith i the Democrats, he was called honest. We { call that an honest act. But if Senator | Elliott was.led to do so by an offer of 4* money, we would call that dishonest. "If | Senator Elliott was offered fifteen thou- { sand .dollars for three votes, and expressed a willingness to accept the offer, he ought to resign. - Nay, more, if Senator Elliott wanted, or even asked for extra compensation for voting with his party, he ought to resign, and repent in sackcloth and ‘ashies.” i -

We must confess that there is something very peculiar about Mr. Elliott’s card.— It was published after currercy had been given to a statement that Senator Elliott had boasted of baving been offered §15,000 to cast certain votes on three distinct propositions that were to be brought be fore' the Seu'ate.‘. It occars to u:;é‘tllat, if Mr. Elliott be on honest man, his. first object should have been fo-give an authoritative denial to so damaging a chni‘gc ;—not a mere. contradiction, but nost pos}'_tc've proof of his innocence: - In thus referring to Mr. Elliott, we have no other desirethan to obtain a correct, knowledge of his honesty of purpose. If his present position is the result of mature reflection and the honest promptingsofhis heart,we feel like extending him the hand of fcllows{)ip and bidding bim welcome-into the "democratic houschold. But, on the other hand, if he abandoned his party by reason of corrupt overtures, and pursues .the course indicated in consideration 'of having been bought, we would spurn_fgis association and turn him over to the tender mercies of an ontraged qonstjtucxjéy. * We can applaud no decd, no action, political or otherwise, that savors of base, villainy and downright rascality. < Men guilty of such‘ practices arc a curse to any party, and we for one turn our face in disgust from such exhibitions of a petfidious natuare.. The Democratic party can not be benefited by drawing to its. support the purchaseable material of the opposition ; yes, its future prospects would be blasted by thus countenancing the most shameless villainy of ‘which depraved humanity can be guilty.

' i, For the Banner. ) Value of Marsh Land. | The opinion has prevailed to some-ex-tent that our marsh land was of little value, except for the hay that is made from them. This hay, for the most part, is much inferiér to tame hay grown on upland. But these marshes, when thorougkly renovated, will doubtless prove to be the most valuable lands in the country. - Some facts go strongly to prove . this. Some marsk lands in the State of New Jersey, that were considered warthless, it ig said now produce four tons of timothy bhay per acre. Heads a foot 1n length. ‘A neighbor of mine states that a large marsh in Holmes county, Ohio, was' drained ‘some years ago, and for 15 years or more has produced, annually, heavy crops of corn.. The land is worth $125 per acre, while improved upland in that vicinity is worth only about -half that sum. William Beall, of Sparta, No: ble county, Ind.,informs me that he raised last séason 75 bushels'of shelled corn on one and one-fourth acres of ‘marsh land. This piece, Mr. B. remarked, was but partially hoed, and produced alsoa heavy crop of'weeds, Onanother piece of marsh, estimated at scven square rods, Mr. B. states that he measured - nearly 15 rounded half bushels of ears, which, as corn is usually measured, would make about 114 bushels of shelled corn per acre. Sonic ears measured 11 inches in length, seven inches in cir‘éumferencve. and weighed,at this date,;about one pound. These marshes, when ‘well drained, Mr. B. says, will, in & very few years, become sufficiently. compactifor‘farming purposes.. They will yield large crops of grass, peppermint, and grain of-all kinds, except wheat, and lamtold thatin one or more intances wheat has been successfull y raised on marsh land. Such lands reduire no manure, but afford large quantities of manure forupland. ~ T. Hupsen, SEN.
