How to raise onb hundred and !
nineteen bu8iiel3 of corn to the !
acre.?A correspondent of ihe Mi- i
chigan Farmer says: "Through the
medium of your valuable monthly ;
visitor, I will give the readers of the j
Farmer the method by which 1 raise
one hundred and nineteen bushels of
corn oil one aero ot ground. The
piece of land under consideration had
lain in meadow some twenty years;
it was ploughed in the fall, and planted
to corn the next spring; after the
crop was harvested, one acre was!
measured olf from one corner, and
some forty loads of manure drawn on
The following spring this was spreod
and ploughed in after the same method.
Just betore seed time, it was
furrowed five feet between the furrows.
These furrows were then
? - 1 '
men wiiu niHiiuit'1 unci !i lurrow
turned from each side, ou the manure
forming a ridge. On this ridge the
corn was planted in drills, two rows
on each ridge, about ten inches apart
and the drills (one kernel in each)
about the same distance. This was
the small eight rowed variety of corn
and five feet between the rows gave
a fine chance for light and solar neat;
eveay stock set for two ears, but a
severe drought came on just before
the car began to form, and a great
majority of the stocks only produced
one ear, The drought, doubtless, |
was more severe upon it by reason
of the great amount of manure. It
was the opinion of many good judges
that examined it before harvesting*
that, had it not been for the injury
sustained by the drought, it would
have yielded one hundred and fifty
bushels to the acre: as it was, I obtained
one hundred and nineteen
bushels and some quarts. The labor
of planting, (with the hoe,) hoeing
and harvesting, was about the same
as three acres raised in the ordinary
way; but then I had the r:;.n of ihrpo .
acres, and the other two left for some |
other use.
Should any object to this method !
as being too tedious, let him remember
that one hundred and nineteen
bushels cf corn cannot be raised
without some labor and expense.?

Mount Vernon.?Rev. Mr. Pyne, i
in his address at the funeral cf Gen. !
Taylor, suggested thai Mount Vernon
should be purchased by the Nation;
and made the burial place of all
the Presidents of the United States.
The Siamese Twins.?The report
that the Siamese twins are dead, is
contradicted. A letter from them
has been received in this city, dated
June if>th, at their residence in
North Carolina, which said that
they were both in good health and
spirits, each having received an ad
dition to his family,?Making Chang
the father of five children, and Eng
four.?Journal of Com.
Anecdote of Daniel Webster.?The
Louisville Journal tells the following
capital anecdote of Webster, in a letter
from Washington: The best
sport that has lately occurred here is
the great Dan's. Nobody, indeed,
unlesssometimcsCrittenden, is bright
more festive than grand Dan, when

l ie was in an excellent humor, not
lon^ since, at a party at Secretary
Ewing's and so, in sooth, were many
olhers. Well, you remember the derisive
name of^Solitude1' which Ewing
got, in former days, by one of
his speeches; when the company
was all in high glee, in the large saloon,
black Dan came slowly and
solemnly up to Ewing, where he
stood, conspicuous to every dody,
and addressed him most earnestly in
mese lines, which Uovvpcr puts into ;
the mouth of Alexander Selkirk:
"Oh, Solitude! where the charms
That sages have seen in thy face?11
A Beautiful Incident.?It is stated
that during the first days of the reign
of Queen Victoria, then a girl between
19 and 20 years of age, some
sentences for court-martail were presented
for signature. One was death

nothing to say in behalf of this man?1
'Nothing; he liaadeserted three times'
said the officer: 'Think again, my
lord,' was her reply. 'And,' said the
gallant veteran, as he related the
circumstances to Ins friends (tor it I
was none other than the Duke of I
Wellington) seeing her Majesty so
earnest, about it, I said, he is certainly
a bad soldier, but there was somebody
who spoke to his good character,
and he may bo a good man for
