The attention of the agricultural readers oft_his

from Mr. Grant Tltorburn. We have examin-
ed some stalks of the corn of which he speaks

it will prove a valuable product in the husband-

to us correspond entirely with Mr. Thorburn's

preached such sound doctrine, he would have

a self-evident fact, what think you sltould bedone

three, and frequently four branches. in appear-
ance like a small tree, and produces an car at
the head of each branch, whereas the common

dance of fodder, is a large white flint 12 row
corn, and cars from 10 to 14 inches long.
I counted 660 grains on one ear; it was plant-
ed on the 10th of May, and had ears fit to boil
on the 10th of July. Its produce was much cur-
tailed by the long drought, but notwithstanding
I counted 2,120 grains, the productofone stalk;
being an increase of 2,000 from one. The Dut-
ton [which is an excellent com] planted on the
same day on the satne field. and receiving the
same quantity of manure, cross plowing and
hocing, did not produce one-half. The patch,
about 200 hills, was examined by many respect-
blc farmers, who pronounced it sonietltiug new,
something superior.
The corn may be had of G. C. Thorliurn. N.

11 Scene of Horror and Murder.—The editor
of this paper was summoned from bed on Fri-
day inoraittg last, at the dawn of day as a mem-
ber of an inquest to examine the case of a fe-
male, lying dead at a dwelling house about two
miles ottt of the village. at a place called Hayti.
supposed to have been murdered. On repairing
to the spot the board oljurors went into the house
and after being duly qtialified by the coroner,
Geri. Brown, proceeded to the examination and
inquiry. And stich a revolting scene of horror
and bloodshed is probably hardly without a pa-
rallel. From the testimony there sectned to be
no doubt resting on the minds of the jury, that
the deceased. Sophia Daman, came to her end
by being wilfully murdered by Henry Daman,
ltdr husband. by cutting her throat. This we be-
lieve was the substance ofthe verdict in the case.
Some of the testimony disclosed in the exa-
mination was tou revolting to relate in this pub-
lic manner. But we will attempt to give some
of the particulars.
The house was characterized as one of ill-
famc—had been visited that night by wretches
equally detestable in our view with some oftltose
who dwelt therein. btit not so well known—that
a controversy hatl taken place between the bus-
band. Daman, and his wife, the deceased. in rela-
tion to the visitors—and that in the alfray Da-
man procured a razor and while his wife was in
bed and cut her throat nearly from ear to ear.
severing the windpipe. and both the great arter-
ies nearly off. He then attempted to ctit his
own throat. but did no so effectually succeed as
to destroy life. He admitted that he killed his
wife and intended to destroy himself. not having
any desire to live longer. anti we sl:ouid sojudge
front his wretced appearance at that time. It
further appeared in evidence that those who vis-
ited the hotisc that night carried with them ajug
of rum. ortltat ajng of rum was brought into
the roomjust before the controversy—andthat
Daman drank of it two or tlireetirnes, that there
was auoilier man and his wife in another bed in
the rooiit on the floor when the dispute cutti-
menced between Daman and his wife—that this
man who belottgetl to the house, remained there
in betl when the murder was coinmitted—liis
wife being frightened had left the room and the
house-—the man in bed on the floor had a child
with him. left there by the rriotlier—and his loca-
tion was such. that his view of the transactions
ttii the other bed was chiefly obstructed, as there
was then no light in the room except what was
derived lrotn the moon through the windows-
there was a woman in another room in the house.
who related among other things that she was so
friglrened by the racket in and about the house
that she leaped frotii the window and ran to the
neighbors-—-did not seem to know what was,go-
ing on in the other part of the house.
It may seem to the reader from these facts
that Daman might be ledto commit this atrocious
deed on accotiut ofjealousy or in consequence of
discovering some criminal intercourse ofhis wife
with other male persons. But it was disclosed
in evidence. revolting and incredibleas it may
seem, that the husband. ifhe deserved the name.
sought out and invited this infamous employ-
ment for the sake of the gain thereby derived
from it! And it was “the wages" of'this worse
than brutal conduct that led to the revolting
scene above attempted to be described!
Damari's wound was dressed on the morning
that the above transaction took place. and in
the course of the day was committed to prison;
and on Saturday was taken beforejustice Brown
for examination. The evidence being very
similar, as we are informed, he was re-com-
mitted. .
Tlteinqtiiry now is. when will the criminal
be tried? By the preseitt laws organizing our
courts, withoiitsome special proceedings be cari-

however, that a special session will be called for

John M. Niles to his disciples. His letter upon
this subject, which was published, has been of
so much more advantage to the Whigs, than to
those for whose especial benefit it was designed,
that he has thought it necessary to try the effect
of a private correspondence with some of the
leading Locos. in different towns in the state.
Letters bearing his frank are no strangers in our

the probability is, that the entire \Vttig State

concetles that the \Vliig Congressional Ticket
is elected, and admits that the Whigs will have

Pit;:ti\'srr.v.aNiA.--Tlte result of the election
in this state is involved in so much doubt and
uitcertainty. that we hesitate about presenting to
our readers the imperfect returns which have
been received. Thecontest has beena very se-
vere one, and both parties are claiming the vic-
tory. In the city and county of Philadelphia,
the \Vhig Ticket received a majority of nearly
3,500. The Congresional_ delegation from this
state last year. was 10 Whigs aiid 18 Van Bu-
ren. Returns are in from 18 districts which
have elected 8 Whigs and 11 Van Buren. Thus
far, there is a Whig gain of 2 members. There
are, however, nine districts more to be heard
from. The probability is that PorIer,the Loco-
Foco candidate for Governor. is elected.
Joseph Ritncr. the present (Whig) Governor
of Pennsylvania, was elected by a plurality of
the votes of the state. The Tories ran two can-
didates, (\Volf and Mulilettbergh.) whose united
vote outnuinberctl Ritncr's more than 11.000.-
But inrismuelt as Ritner had more votes than si-
lhcr of them. he has ctttistitutionally elected.

ttia has never been a \Vliig State. we cannot be

liave gained over 11,000 votes.
It is true, however. that
we have not gtiinctl the state, though the result
of the election will show a great incrcrise of Whig
votes. The N. Y.Couricr aiitl Enquirer of Sa-
turday. places the matter in its true light:
It is now pretty generally coitcedctl in the best
sanguine was going in their fator. At the last
accounts, the result was very doubtful. It de-
pended upon the returns from one county, (Cape
May.) which, if she has done now, as well as
she did at the last election, has doubtless turned
the scale in our favor. Still, so unparalleled antl
desperate has been the conduct of Van Buren‘:
minions in this Suite, be well as that of Penn
sylvania, that we are prepared for the must no-
favorable intelligence. -
P. S. The latest accounts render it almost
certain that we have carried a part, if not the
wiiole of ourCongressional Ticket. At any rate
we have such a majority in the Legislattire us
will secure the clectiort of u \\-'ltig U. S. Sena-
tor, and a Whig Governor, who is chosen by the
Legislature.

Tun NEW-YORK CONSERVATIVES held a
Convention at Syracuse on the 3d inst. Thirty-
four counties were very ably represented—and
the strengthand spirit which this gallant party
exhibited on this occasion. most clearly evinced
that the Loco-Focos will find in them, what is
technically termed, “ ahard customer.” Gide-
on Lee. of N. York. was President. As they
adjourned without nominating a State Ticket-
bnt passed sundry resoltitions hurling defiance
in the very teeth of “New York’s favorite sort,”
Martin Van Buren. we take it for granted that
they intend to vote for the Ticket nominated by
the Whigs. As they have no ticliet of their
own, this is the only .consi§.§._cz2-t course that they
—the money-‘power with the govermnent. or the
money-powder with the people,” is the issue now
presented. The combat is between moral prin_-
ciple, and rnonied influence-gbetween the rights
and liberties of miilions of freemeu, and the des'-
potic sway of 200.000 oflice-holders.
We have all confidence in the Conservatives.
They have been on probation long enough to give
us a good opinion of their sincerity—-‘their patri-
otism. We doubt not that the Conservatives of
our own State, whether they adopt the same
course with their N. York brethren or not, will
take such measures as they deem most effectual
to restore the Constitution of our beloved Repub-
lic to its legitimate operation -—its pristine purity.

The South Caroliuians cannot forget what John
C. Calhoun once was; and still think that their
interests are identified with his political ascend-

and so thoroughly excited is their commercial ri-
valry, that they imagine the adoption of the
Sub-Treasury scheme will be of great lteiicfn to
them, simply because it is generally so unpopu-

MARYLAND 13LE.c'i'io1~r.
The actual majority for Graysou. the Van
Buren candidate for Governor is 250. The Whig
press generally, are endeavoring to reconcile
their readers to this unfortunate result, by ad-
ducing the causes which led to it. It is said that
Graysou was personally very popular. and was
in favor ofiuternal itnprovements. while Steele,
the VV'nig candidate, was very unpopular and
opposed io internal improvements; that his
nomination was an impolitic one, as it caused
divisions amongthe Wliigs—hundreds of wltom
voted for Graysou in preference to him; and
finally. that 1000 registered voters in Baltitiiore
were deterred from attending the polls by their
apprehensions of violence from the Loco-Fttco
mob. This is, doubtless. all true—but wltat
does it prove? Why that the V_V_higs pf Mary-
land have not done their duty. If Steele was so
unpopular, why was he noniinated? when
nominated, why was he not sustained in the
same manner with the rest of the Whig ticket,
which was elected} It is too bad, that in a
state so thoroughly VVhig as Maryland is con-
clusively proved to be by the rettiins for the
legislature; it is too bad welsay, that theindis-
cretion, disunion an_d inactivity of the Whigs
should have given their opponents ab opportuni-
ty to elect asingle officer of the state govegrnment.
We trust that it will be a lesson to our brethren;
in that state, which they will not forget. at any
rate, till after the next Presidential election.
We still believe that Maryland is \Vhig to the
back bone. and we doubt r.ot, rtotwjtlistaiiding‘
