t orn Planting.
The popular time for beginning
to plant corn is the 10th of March.
1 the weather be cool the grain will
be a fortnight or more in shooting
in its little springs abovo the sur
face: and as its real peril from a
coll snap is between the Ist and
20th of April, it is probable there
is no material difference in the
risk of planting between the Ist
and 10th, Com is not often kill
ed outright by cold, but it frequen
tly gets a feeble and sickly start
from that cause.
The most fatal malpractice
in respect to corn in this region
comes frem shallow planting—not
shallow covering, which should be
carefully observed. But dropping
in furrows which are not usually
more than three and a half inches
deep as vou will find by examin
ing them carefully. You will be
ready to swear they are six inches
deep, until you brush aside the
loose soil thrown up by the plow
and measure them from the real
surface level, then you will find
they are only three inches deep,
an.d when the crop comes to feel
the May drouth, the heat of the
sun soon burns the roots of the
plant through the thin covering of
porous and sandy scyl.
If, on dry upland, the farmer
will furrow with a shovel plow,
getting a depth of six, soven or
eight inches, and then cover light
ly, the early rains will gradually
add earth to the corn and then, at
the proper time, siding deeply with
a long Bull-tongue or a Kentucky
subsoiler, he will hear or see little
about his corn “firing and it will
stand dry weather like a hero.
Corn is the hog among grains.
It is a gross feeder. It is hard
matter to fire it with manure,
when it has the proper debth of
root. In our opinion the loss of
the corn crop from drouth in Geor
gia is chargeable, as to fifty per
cent, of it. to shallow ploughing
and shallow furrows.

An aged resident of Hartford re
in," ho s (hat the winter ot 1829-80
.-urpuved this in mildness; fanners
plowed every month of the season, tin :
ilb snow full until February 2 The
winter was inliuwed. however, by n cold
backward spring, with a snow storm in
May, which killed the returning swal
lows. As an offset to the above story,
one of the oIJ residents of Derby tells
us the year 1816 is what is known as
(he “year without a summer.” Old
New England farmers refer to it as
■“eighteen hundred and starved to
death.” January was mild, as was al
so February, with the exception of a
few days. The greater part of March
was cold and boisterous. April open*
ed warm, but grew odder as it ad vane*
ed. ending wiih snow and ice. and win
ter cold.
In May ice formed half an inch
thick buds and flowers were frozen,
and corn was killed. Frost, ice, and
sni'W were common in June. Almost
every greea thing was killed, and fruit
was nearly all destroy and. Snow fell to
the dt of three inches in New Fork
aid Massachusetts, and ten inches in
Maine. July was accompanied with
frost and ice. On the sih ice was
formed of the thickness of window
glass in New York, New England and
-parts of Pennsylvania, and corn
was nearly all destroyed in certain sec
tions. In Auuwst ice formed half an
inch thick. Oora was so frozen that a
great deal was cut down and dried for
fodder Very little ripened in the New
England and Middle Slates. Farmers
were obliged to pay four and five dol
lars a bushel for eora of 1815 for seed
for the next spring’s plauting. The
first two weeks of September were mild;
the balance ef the month was cold,with
frost, and iee formed quarter ol an inch
thick October was more than usually
cold, with frost and ice. November
was old and Flustering, with isoow
enough for good sleighing. December
mas quite mild and conifcrtnblC.

The following painful occurrence
is related by the Paris corrrespon-.
dent of the “New York Times.”
Whatever may be the dangers at
tending the application of chloro
form, it has at least the vantage of
not being inflammable. A young
lady of eighteen, remarkably beau
tiful, belonging to a family o f rich
merchants of Lyons, had to under
go a surgical operation. The sur
geon said that it was necessary
to give her ether. The sack was
prepared, and the young lady had
Oeen inhaling it for a moment, when
a light * as brought near the patient,
In an instant the ether ignited, and
the sack exploded. The doctor was
himself seriously burned, but the
young lady was in a lamentable
condition. Her nose was taken off
completely, and one side of the tip
per jaw was laid bare. It. is need
less to say that she is horribly dis
figured for life. No one could de
scribe the despair of the family,
and perhaps it would have been
better had the poor girl died from
the effects of this dreadful wound.
It is rumored that the doctor has
committed euicidc.
College deviltry is too rampant,
and college riots are altogether too
frequput. Within a few months
there have been riotous disturban
ces in five different institutions,
those at Princeton and Dartmouth
imperilling the lives of the partici
pants Boys yet in their teens
have fired pistol bullets at one an
other and cracked one ano'her’s
noses and heads with clubs. The
President of Dartmouth College
congratulated the freshmen ou their
narrow escape from being murder
ers.
These rioters must not go un
punished because they happen to
be enrolled on the books of an ed
ucational institution. Outbreaks
like those of which they -are guilty
would not for an instant he toler
ated among other citizens. The
six students in Princeton and the
five in Hanover vtho are under ar
rest for pounding fellow students
are no less guilty than is the man
who knocks down his neighbor iu
our street.
These are eases for the Grand Ju
ry, uot for college faculties. JSciv

Two Pennsylvania ladies were
conversing in the gallery of the
United Ftaies Fenate, when one
of them asked the other if she
didn’t think Don Cameron a great
improvement on his father “No,”
was the answer, “ho can’t begin
to write stub Eve letters as the
old man.”
