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.

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. Sun. 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. I'M'l 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.
