86F A number of our farmers
agree with Mr. Coffee as to the
gender of pumpkins. Their ex
perience is that if yon plant all
the seed from one pumpkin there
will be plenty of vines and no
fruit.
Judge D. M. Byrd says that some
years since three volunteer vines
came up in his lot. From these
he made fifty-two pumpkins, and
upon examination it was ascer
tained that all of them grew on
one vine. This is an important
matter to the farmers, and ought
to be understood.

We hear it stated that Mr.
U. I. Kimball is in New Haven
I
Conn., quite sick—being eonfined
to his room and carefully nursed
by friends, who will not allow
any one to see him on business. —
This illness, it is said, is the re
sult of his losses and failure in
business.
The same persons who make
this repori about Mr. Kimball, says
that Rufus B. Bullock is staying
in Buffalo, New York, just on the
borders of the United States,
where he can quickly escape to
Canada, if he should be pursued.

Rev. M. D. Wood. —The an- j
nouncement that a new trial has
been granted to Rev. M. Wood j
has been received by the people;
generally with satisfaction. The
opinion is daily strengthening
that not only is he not guilty of
the crime of seduction, but of any
crime.

The Capitol.—Business at the
State House yesterday was veiy dull
indeed. The Senate did very little,
and what it did was of very little
public’ interest.
The House reconddered the vital
question of per diem. The action of
Friday, establishing six dollars a day
as the wages of a legislator, was re
considered for the purpose of redu
cing it to three dollars. Mr. Bacon
made the motion to reconsider, and
was in favor of three dollars. Mr.
Jarkson also favored three. Others
favored fire. The upshot of it all
was, seven dollars was agreed upo i,
being an advance of one dollar per
piem upon the estimate of Friday.—
The bill, as it passed the House, fixes
the pay of officers at ten dollars per
day, members at seven, and travel,
ing expenses at five dollars for each
twenty miles. Sun.
