THE FARM. Laying By Corn. The main point to ho soon red in the last working of eorn is to leave the crop as eleun of grass as possible. It is too late now to atone for early neglect of deep plowing. The soil is now full of t|io rootlets of the corn, and must not he ruthlessly or unnecessarily etit and mangled. Such injury, as the least of evils,is allowable at an early stage of growth,when the ] tin nit s life small and there is time within which to recover from the shook; hut after the tassels begin to appear the injury from plowing will he greater than the benefit. The laying by should he done \<ith very shallow runnifig sweeps or cultivator—barely skimming the soil. After a continued spell of seasonable rains and growing, weather, it is particularly hazar dous to plow after the period nam ed.

Plowing Cotton. The main point in cultivating cotton this month is to induce a vigorous growth of stalk, so as to have plenty of weed. If allowed to rcriinin too Jdhick in the drill and the roots to he partially suf focated by the presence of grass mid a too long formed crust on the surface of the soil, the growth will ho dwarfed; while at the sarrn^ time the plant will continue to sot fruit, until all the energies of the dwarfed plants will soon be direc ted towards maturing the young bolls, and growth will cease, It seems to be a law of the plant, that rapid growth and rapid fruit ing cannot occur at the same time It is well known that when a stalk becomes loaded with bolls it rarely makes any further available growth, and il this condition oc~ eiirs when the stalk is too small a full crop cannot he reasonably ex pected. These remarks are intended to apply to cotton on old land, and not to rich, fresh land or bottom, where the weed is generally ex eessively developed. by which the cotton plant could 1 induced to shed most of its squares her therefore, at from $25,000 to $50,000.

Among the paid hills and other ter, who was away at school, was a marriage certificate. That was the first news of her nuptials. llobinson Warren, of St. Claits- ville, O., had always been so sub missive under the domination of his wife, that when he finally nerv ed himself to protest against her clubbing their child, she furiously caught tip a handy revolver nnd killed him. Three blind girls went out for a walk, in St. Louis. They were fa miliar with the street, and made their way with ready confidence; but they knew nothing of a deep excavation lately made, and so walked into it. One was killed, and the others badly hurt. A ferocious bulldog broke his chain at W heeling, Vn., and at tacked a very old woman. She made all the defence she could, but ho threw her down, hit her with savage fury, and finally killed her. Her son, maddened by the sight, chopped the brute to pieces.
