SENATE CHAMBER, AprifSTiTi, 18B2.

EDITORS JOURNAL.—The

near ap

proach of the time for planting corn induces me to make a suggestion to our agricultural friend* in regard to 9ted corn. am informed by one of the most Intelligent farmers in Wayiwf county that he has tried five different experiments, during the last four weeks to sprout corn, for the purpose of testing its vitality. In the We experiments he has made by planting in rich soil, in a box kept in a warm and light room, not one hair of rtt* forth sprouts. Us was induced to test the matter from the fact, that some thirty yean ago^af^r awry severe winter, similar to that r/cur last, large amount of corn planted in the White-water valley failed to come up, and the farmers were put to nsafch inconvenience for seed that would g^ow, and many of them sent to Kentucky for corn to plant. I am told by another gentleman that a similar effect folltow#! the cold winter of 1832 or 1833, in the section of $he State in which he resided.

This msy not be the case here and fto but I msh« the suggestion for the benefit of thos# StfierMted.ilif entertained are groundless, so much the but 4* wUl not bo TOUClUirouWft, to ten tho matter in tjflnflk .?m.

Excuse the apparent gratuity of the above suggestion. P. P. HOLLO WAY.

PREMATURE BURIAli. The Albany Register, in tho course of an article on ibis subject, relates the following

instance,

Some

YOEI,

May

TTA PWFL|TF «RIVM^ IJ. BEWU

of which the editor was

perfectly cog»*x®nt:

years ago, we were perfectly

cognizant to an occurrence of this kind, which was of the most heart-rending character, |The wife of a gentlemen was taken iuddenly ill in church, and was carried to her home in a

8ta,f

syncope. In a few hours she partially recovered, but immediately relapsed, and never again showed any signs of consciousness. She lay in this condition nearly two days, baffling the skill of the physicians, and then, as it was thought, and as there

almost every

reason to believe, died, No signs of breathing could be detected, the, limbs became rigid and cold, and the eyes remained open with the fixed and glassy stare of death

BUT

there was no change

in the color of the skin. This was the only reason in the world for supposing that dissolution had not taken place.— The poor bereaved husband, almost frantic at the loss of the young and be®"* tiful wife whom he almost idolzied, clung with desperation to the hope '"nned in her face, and long resisted the unanimous decision of the physicians, that sho was certainly dead. They told him. what is doubtless true, that it sometimes, though very rarely, happens that there is no discoloration for days and even weeks after dissolution has taken place. But still he resisted, and it was not until three days had passed without the faintest signal of change or sign of life, that he finally gave up and suffered the burial to take place. She was entombed in a vault. Months passed. A cemetery having been laid out, the husband* purchased and beautified a lot, erected an elegant monument in it, and when ail was ready, superintended the removal of the body of his wife from the vault to its final resting place.— When the vault was opened he remembered the circumstances of her death, above detailed, and a desire suddenly seized him to once more behold the corpse. By his direction the coffin lid was removed. The spectacle which presented itself was inconceivably horrible, for it showed that she had buried alive. She had turned quite over upon her side, she had clutched her nails itto the coffin until her fingers had bled, portions of her grave clothes were torn, and in her horrible struggles she had contrived to carry her hand to her head, and had plucked from it a mass of hair, with portions of the cap that covered it!

The poor man never recovered from the shock of that awful spectacle. He was borne away senseless, and for the rest of his weary lile was an utterly broken and miserable being.

Two Dromios in the Rhode Island Ijegislatnre. There are two brothers in the Rhode Island Legislature, named Christopher Columbus Potter and Americus Vespucius Potter, who are so much alike that It is doubled whether either knows himself from his brother. The Providence Journal says:

Christopher is a Whig, and Americus a Democrat and ihere will be a pretty muss when they get to Newport. Not a soul in the House can tell one from the other and the Democrats will be running to Christopher, and the Whigs to Americus, with all the secrets of their respective parties. We have ourselves sometimes commenced a political conversation with ihe Democratic brother, who always had the generosity to interrupt us before wo got upon dangerous ground. Now, when we meet either we say, as we take his hand, "is this you or your brother?" If it is Christopher, he says,"it is I," and we talk about politics if it be Americus, he says, "it is not I—it is my brother," and we talk about the weather. We should advise them to wear a badge around their hats, like the railroad conductors but then they would be cure to change hats, •ND TVTAT WWN iv

MR. CLAY'S HEALTH* On Wednesday last. Mr. Thomas Clay received a telegraph despatch from his father, requesting him to come on to Washington immediately. He left for Washington on the same day, under serious apprehensions as to the condition in which he might find his venerable fath* er on his arrival. The inlerence is, from the fact of Mr.Clay sending this despatch that he was himseif apprehensive that a crisis was approaching, though not one word was said ss to the actual condi tion of his health at the time.—Lexing kon (JTy.)

Jiejport of the Board of Examiners, May 20,1851. We,the undersigned,(byspecial request,)acting as the Board of Examiners of the Commercial Institute of Indianapolis, do certify that we have attended the examination of the present graduating class of said institution, and find said class as well acouainted with the elementary principles of Double Entry Book Keeping as could well be expected, their age and opportunities of actual practice considered? We believe them to have received from their present Instructor, a thorough drilling in this all important branch of Commercial Education, which, if steadily observed and properly practiced upon, will render them able accountants snd valuable citizens, and we would recommend that the following named members of the present elsss receive Diplomas, to wit:

James B. Weeks, John M. Dorsev, Hezekiah W. Roberts, Samuel J. Morris, Joseph R. Haugh, John T. Ferguson, George W. Dorsev, Nicholas McCarty, Jr., James T. Brown, and Tyra Montgomery.

Ana, in conclusion, we would congratulate the citizens of Indiana in now having it

in their

power

to patronize a Home Institution of Commercial Education whereas much information, in as short a time,and at far less expense and anxiety of mind on the part of parents and guardians, can, and we believe will be imparted, as at any other similar institution in the west.
