Ami Will Hang on the lOlh of February,
if e New Trial Is not Granted.
Thomas G. Wool folk, the Bibb conn- |
ty murderer, after a fair and impartial
trial, was found guilty on Friday last,
and sentenced to be hung ou the
of February next. At, effort fora new
trial will be made by bis attorney*. j
The verdict of the jury will stirpri-e

The evidence adduced
the trial was all cimimxtaniial, but
pointing strongly to the guilt of the ,
prisoner. From first t„ i , sl there lias ;

The murderer has bad a fair trial.—
He has been defended by able counsel.
Despite the excited state of the com¬

defendant was not even .menaced.— |
Quietly, decorously, and with even a
jealous regard for hi- rights, Hie court
proceeded day rfter day to investigate :
the question of bis guilt.

A BETTER pEW.
A great deal ffW&cn ■‘aid, bv way
of censure, about ilic failures outlie
farm : much of it may hAjtut, the great
or part of it is undue. A certain
amount ot failure is expected and sure \
to c* mo in every pursuit and every ;
profession. We do not believe farmers,
as a rule, are the least successful as
compared to all other classes of busi- j
ness men. It must be remembered that ;
lifty-ono per cent, of our people areen
gaged in agriculture, and whilst the
actual number of l ail it res may be
greater than in oilier pursuits, it is
mujb let*. as compared with any otli
cr one business, and actually icss a* i
compared to all other pur-t.it- com
billed. The ratio of failures, then, is ;
apparent than real. Farmers
must iiefes-arily I'urni-h food supplies
f„r themselves and the thirty millions 1
ot people who are not farmers. If this I
were all. their business might be made I
prosperous in receiving the value of
their eiop*Jn the markets, but a large i
class of non-producers not only dr.tw i
their sustenance from farmer bu I
-peculate upon their ignorance and
lack of business iutoi maiiou by cheap
eti ing the proiluets of the farm''ami in- ;
creasing the price of its purchases.

TUB BEST HOGS PJR fj
A correspondent of the Ru^nl Men
soager says the southern farmer must
find his hogs among the black dr at least
breeds. Of the blacks the Essex
is the prettiest hog of them all—a mod.
el of grntlene-s and quictue-s, always
fat, no matter how kept, and his intlu
euce on the progeny of the common
sow is unequaled by anY other male,
But the breed is rather small, and the
pure breed pigs do not stai'l very well.
The Berkshire is well known. His
blood courses in the veins of thousands j
of good hogs all over the land. Any-j
where can Im* heard the remark, “part \
Berkshire,” as ample proof that a hog |
is n good one. But with his many good i
points — not forgetting that most ex-1
‘‘client meat—be is loo much inclined
to be mischievous and even vicious.
ai,, l * s “°t to he tolerated where ranges j
ami fences arc not first-class, and where j
they cannot be kept from tin: stock. “ i
The Poland Chinas arc not generally 1
known. It is a spotted hog, and is
somewhat coarser than the entire
blacks, but has all their good points,
and a*?aiti-t is free the from other the breeds. objections They that are lie j j
lai 'g“, .'ft. as the E*sex, almost any
sort of fence will control them The
sows arc most excellent mothers. The
1'*^ *‘ art '»ff promptly, grow well and I

VARIETIES OF CORN.
Some writers insist that maize, or i
Indian corn, was known in the early
history of the world to the Chinese
founding their theory on drawings of
a similar grain in ancient Chinese
manuscript. If this were true, the
culture of grain was wholly lost in I
later years. There has been much
discussion on the subject. The valua

,
Plants,” says: “Maize is of American
origin, ami was not in trod need into;
the old world until alter the discovery
ot Hie new. It was found bv the
tirst ,. , explorers , ot .... the western , ,* henns-1 .
pbere to be in cultivation by the na-'
Jives from New England to Chili but
it ,s thought to have originated in the ns) .
highlands of Peru and Bolivia,
traces of it have been found there in I
ancient tombs and geological deposits
will* the earliest traces of man in that!
As to the present existing . . j
varieties of corn, it may be noted that
the maize plant is affected in a re- j
markable degree by el.mate and soil,!
and a local variety can be established j
at any time by the selection and con
timious sowing lor a few years, of
seed showing any striking peciilarity.
All of the varieties in cultivation in
the United .States, front Hie smallest
pop corn to the enormous specimens
of maize grown in the western and
southern states are but one specie* 1 ! 1
ami owe tlrcir difference to pucnlari- . .
tics of climate and soil and to contin¬
ued selection in cultivation.
