o21 fir. THE PRICE ONE GENT. BALTIMOB.E, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1855. A Fine Yield of Corn. B.

II. Hare, Esqv residing at Ellicott's Mills, in Howard county, appears to have raised one of the finest crops of corn on his farm, adjoining that place, that was produced the past season in the State. We have seen a certificate signed by' Messrs. John R. D.

Thomas and George Bjrgess, stating that they had measured one thousand nine hundred and eight square feet of the ninety-five acre field of Mr. Hare, from which they saw the corn takenand measured, yielding nine barrels and one-tenth, or eighteen half barrels and one bushel of which is equal to twenty and eight-tenths barrels per acre. They state, also, that forty acres of the field contiguous to that which they measured was of the same character, in appearance. It Jappears that they had previously b9en in grass for tv0 years, after taking from it two successive wheat crops. It was ploughed and planted with corn last spring, but the cut worm had destroyed it by the 1st pf June that on the 3d of that month it had be reploughed and planted with a corn-drill following heavy shovel ploughs.

It was ploughed and harrowed again on the 20th June, and again after harvest. Under the circumstances, it must be admitted that Mr. Hare has gathered a very fine crop the reward of a perseverance which should encourage all agriculturists under like misfortunes in the outsa a season. The Visiting Finmtn. The American EnginG and Hose Company, of Lancaster, Penn'a, now on a visit to their brother firemen of this City, seem to be enjoying them-elves exceedingly tinder th care of a of the Friendship Fire Com-panv, whose guests they are.

143. THE SUN. THE AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION. Reported for the Baltimore Sun. Eighth Cattle Show and Agricultural and Horticultural Exhibition of the Maryland State Agricultural Society Fine Display of Implements--Live Stock--roultry Exciting Scenes in the Horse Track, The fair again opened yesterday with fine prospects for a large and general attendance of farmers and others interested, indeed the number in attendance has been variously estimated at from five to eight thousand, which is an unusually large attendance for the first public day.

The scenes presented by the grounds within the enclosure, as well as the line of road from the Monument to the Fair, were of the most attractive character, and gave an additional impetus to the spirit of agricultural interests. At an early hour in the morning the road was lined with vehicles of almost every conceivable description, the stately equippage of two and even four horses of the wealthy and more fashionable, and the fast nags of our young men, with lheir handsome buggies, contrasted very conspicuously with those of the more unpretending visitors who jogged along at a steady pace with their ponderous wagons and heavy draft animals, whilst lines of omnibuses, wrell filled inside and outside with passengers, and crowds of folks on foot, who preferred the healthful exercise of pedestrianism to horse-power, contributed to the life and interest of the view, all seeming eager to reach the entrance gates, provide themselves with tickets, and gratify the eye in beholding the thousand stalls of valuable animals, the beautiful products of the barn-yard, the industry and arts of men as developed in the many ingeniously contrived and valuable agricultural implements which add to the attractions of farm life, and serve more effect -ally to till the ground, enrich the soil and render it more productive. And surely no person who experiences the least interest for exhibitions of the sort can fail to be gratified, highly gratified with the exhibition. HOCSEHOID DEPARTMEST This department is contained in a large building, situated on a rising hill near the north -western limits of tbe enclosure, containing four wings, and and well lighted with spacious windows, it is a departmenfof the exhibition far superior to any previous display, both as regards the quantity and quality of articles deposited, and eminently deserving tbe attention of the curious visitor. Mr.

John east, the well-known florist, is in charge of this entertaining feature of the fair, assisted by Messrs. Thomas Tenant and Henry Whitaker. Tables extending nearly the entire length of each winj are well filled with curious and inojeaious articles, and fdil not to receive great attention, especially from the accomplished and beautiful ladies of the 'Monumental city. Among the attractive things to be seen, is a farm in miniature, designed and. "deposited by Mr.

William Kimberly. It is 6 fiet long, by 4 'in width, and represents a firm house of gothic architecture, swrounded by gardens, with walks, bowers, grottoes, lakes, There are also a stable, barn, dairy, with cattle browsing in the meadows and field, mill, wagons and horses, and all the usual appendages of a well-eonducted farm. Mr. James Taylor, of Philadelphia, contributes to this department in the way of a half dozen glass sho of stuffed birds, beasts, reptiles, fishes and inserts, which have been well preserved and mounted. One of these animals, a huge black beir, five feet in length, seems to amuse the rising vastly.

The northern wing of the building is brilliantly ill irninated by the 'Maryland Portable Gas Company cf Baltimore. This enterprising company, nnJer the direction of their superintendent, Mr. Janes A. Bruce, have erected a large gasometer in the rear of the building, and conducted their pipes underground to the apartment, about 13 feet distance, and, bv means of four large chandeliers, shed a powerful and clear light, which would be rendered more dazzling if the building could have been sutliciently darkened. The chandeliers are handso.ne and constructed by Messrs.

Dukehart fc Kaflinski, gas-litters. Part of the wing opposite the abive has been partitioned off, forming two additional apartments for the exclusive use of the lames wno nave Deen appointed to act as judges in the productions of cakes, wines, bounces, jellies, These rooms are admirably warmed by an apparatus put up at considerable care by Messrs. J. W. Geddes who have bricked up on the outside one of Kisterbocker's hot air furnaces, sulKcie.it to heat the entire building.

The same trm have also placed upon exhibition varieties of radiators, air-tight stoves, furnaces, ranges, and silver-pla'ed registers, some of which are pr'acti-callv useful to the oflicers of the exhibition, especially these who require warm lingers for writing. This new feature of the exhibition is worthy of praise. Alk Needles, of Philadelphia, exhibit improved super-phosphate of lime, end other fertilizers. P. S.

Chappell, of Baltimore, exhibits a substitute for guano, known as ammoniated dissolved bones Jean Blanc, a native of France, but now residing in Baltimore, exhibits thirty varieties of new wild flax, discovered and patented by him. .1. R. Ritner, of York, exhibits a number cf hand hommony millswhich are easily operated upon by children, and produce 10 bushel's of hommony per dav. They are in constant operation ia the household department.

Samuel Hunt, of Baltimore, exhibits one set of coach harness for two horses, embroidered with silver-plated mountings; also, one set of harness for single horse carriage; also, gentleman's riding saddle, made after an English pattern the whole attesting the excellenceof Baltimore workmanship. Myers, llitner ic Co. occupy, in part, the south wing cf the building in the exhibition of Stoddard's patent self-protecting beehive, combining many advantages in the management of bees, and capable of swarming bees from liive to hive at all times in bee season. These hives are in operation during the days of the exhibition, and are, as usual, surrounded by the farmers and their smiling wives and chi'dren. J.

F.Turner exhibit specimens of fertilizers known as De Burg's super phosphate of lime. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, PORTABLE MACHINERY IN MOTION, ETC. The most important feature of the entire show, especially so far as labor saving is concerned, is this department, where may be seen in operation every invention calculated for the use of the agriculturist, and designed to help the tiller of the soil in pro- uucing the necessities of this life in abundance and with but comparative slight labor. The grounds set apart for this purpose are south of the household building, and are not less than a thousand feet in lengtn. The first on the list are Charles II.

Drurv who have erected a large, elevated, covered plat form or portico, upon wiucii tne visitor may ascend and realize a fine picture of the grounds. "Beneath Is a substantial norse-power, vauauie in its application to the varied requirements cf husbandry. The same firm also exhibit article noticed previously. Adjoining is tne stana oi Messrs. uoouins Bibb, proprietors of the Baltimore Stove House, who have decorated their portion of the ground witn tiags very tasteiiiny.

rney exuiuit several of Scott's patent "Little Giant," or corn and cob mills, one oi which, propeneu dv a single norse is kept constantly in motion for the gratification of farmers, ine invention is a soutnern one, ana from its extreme simplicity of construction may be put into operation uy a cniia. it consists oi a hopper or mill in an upright position, which re ceives the corn and cobs. The power of leverage is applied, and causes a circular set of teeth or cob breakers to revolve, whilst at the same time falls from below the meal, some of whion was used yesterday. They also exhibit various sizes of McGregor's agricultural boilers, for farm purposes, the largest holding about 500 gallons. Sinclair as usual, occupy a prominent place in the display of agricultural implements, which are exhibited to great advantage in their commodious and handsome gothic building, with embattled towers and display of bunting.

They seem to nave every imng on nana in tne line, many of which have already been enumerated elsewhere. II. Whitman Co. have also an immense dis play of agricultural implements, consisting of horse-powers, plows of the various kinds, Eea vitt's latest improved portable mills for one and two horses, with many other valuable aids to the farmer. Had not their large structure been ae- stroedby fire they would have surpassed their former displays.

Mr. Shaw exhibits washing machine called the May Queen, which seems well adapted to its work. Ceorge A. Page Ic Co. have on exhibition a fire portable steam engine, which applies steam to a saw mill, cutting with ease the heaviest piece of timber of the forest, ana witn suen rapidity as to astonish the natives.

This machine fails not to attract large crowds around it. Obed Hussey also exhibits a portable steam engine, said to be susceptible of applying its power to operations of asriculture, heretofore impracti cable. Yesterdayit was in operation. The engineer nut tin steam, and. bv a little putting, it was not loiip- before he had an immense crowd watch ing his sino-ulnrlv looking locomotive.

Sir. B. M. Rhodes exhibits agricultural implements, from the manufactory of Messrs. Uuggles, Nourse, Mason also, one of McCimick's reapers and mowers: also, a new ranr ploush, in vented by Mr G.

W. Ilildreth, and manufactured by Marvain Honkins. The weight is carried on wmeels instead of being dragged upon the bottom of the furrow, thus. reducing the friction. It has a seeding apparatus attached.

Afkin's self-rakina: automaton reaper and mower is exhibited by the airents. Messrs. J. A. Brew ster and Geo.

E. Chenowith, and commands atten tion uvim vissteis.

To-day, the third of the exhibition, will doubtless witness the most attractive and interesting scenes ever beheld within the enclosure. The course for the trial of blooded and fast horses will be worth more than the price of admission, and some of the fleetest and most beautiful horses will be exhibited in the course of the day.

In this respect the Society never made a better, if as good a show. During the morning the splendid Light Artillery batteries from Fort McIIenry, under the command of Maj. W. H. French, will arrive and go through their drill within the race course.

It is supposed that the drill will commence about one o'clock, perhaps sooner. It is seldom that our friend from the country have an opportunity of witnessing the quicK movements oi i nuea estate lying Artillery, indeed it is a welcome sight to our city people. A telegraphic despatch received last evening by Col. George W. Hughes from Washington citv, states that Hon.

The Cultivation of Ice Nature is a sfep- mother to Massachusetts in the climate she given her; yet she has as many crops, and as late in the season, as any State in the L'nion. She is no sooner housed her corn and potatoes than-she commences the cultivation of her ice crop.

This aquaculture costs no manure, still the soil is not exhausted. Winter after winter she reaps abun dant harvests from the same spot without rotation, and frequently several in a season, as appears from the following paragraph: We learn from the the Bunker Hill Aurora that a new plan for procuring ice early, or when the season is too mild to freeze over the deep water of Fresn I'ond, Has feeen adopted by Tudor. This is bv making an artificial pond, dT an equal depth, and let ing the water into it as fast as it freezes. Workmen are now engaged in large numbers on the Fresh Pond Meadows in preparing such a pond. It will cover about twenty-five acres of land, with a clay bottom, and so much lower than Fresh Pond that the water of the pond may be let into it in any quantity desirable.

As this pond will be very shallow, it will freeze over readily, and it would seem must secure a crop of ice in the'mildest of our winters. Of course it may be jfropied as often as it can be frozen of sunicient fihickness. The making of the pond, it is calcu lated, ill cost about S25.000, or $1,000 per acre. and the ut cessary buildings for storing ice about as miicn more." The Wtife Burning Case.

Star, a Lt. General Scott's Salary. The Union of yesterday contains the official opinion of Attorney General Cushing, tinder which the President has allowed back-pay from May, 1847, to Lt. General Scott. The decision is to the effect that the 5th section of the act of 17 93, creating the grade of lieutenant general, had been effectually and finally repealed by the act of 1S21, so far as regards the title, but as to the salary it does not clearly appear that that portion of the act was also repealed.

The joint resolution of the last Congress having revived the grade, it is held that the statute provision as to pay and emoluments previously annexed to the grade or office is, by legal consequence, revived, whether that provision of the statute had or not been repealed. Under this decision, therefore, Lieutenant General Scott receives his backpay. The act of 17t allows the following pay and emoluments "Two hundred and fifty dollars monthly pay; fifty dollars monthly allowance for forage, (when the same shall not be provided bv the Lnited States.) and forty rations per day, or money in lieu thereof at the current price." The act further provides that the Lieut. General shall have authority to appoint, from time to time, such number of aids, not exceeding four, and secretaries, not exceeding two, as he may judge proper, each to have the rank, pay, and emoluments of a lieutenant colonel. The Bridge Across the Susquehanna.

According to the Lancaster Intelligencer, the con struction of this bridge is delayed by a dispute between the Railroad and the Tide Water Canal companies. The latter required that the former, at its own expense, should extend the tow path below the bridge. This was finally assented to by the railroad company, in order to avoid a lawsuit, but as some of the owners of property along the river subsequently demanded exorbitant sums for the right of way, the prosecution of the work was suspended for the present. In the meantime, the stone for the piers and abutments is being rapidly prepared: and as the new iron ferry boat erosse the river in nearly about the same time that the train could cross the bridge, travellers will meet with no inconvenience. Naturalized Voters.

It having been erro neously stated that Judge Madison Nelson, of Frederick, had given an opinion that naturalized citizens were not entitled to vote until twelve months after receiving their naturalization papers, he has furnished the Examiner with a cor-iect statement cf his opinion, in which he says: "After a foreigner has been naturalized he has all the privileges of the native citizen. To entitle a native citizen to vote in any county in Maryland he must have resided in the State one year and in the county six months next preceding the day of election. The same residence in the State and county is required of the naturalized citizen. Suppose a foreigner resides in Baltimore or any county In the State other than Frederick county, and be Vmj naturalized two days before tlie election, although he has residence in tbe State yet he cannot vote in Frederick county, because he has not resided in that county for 'six months. But if It? has resided in Maryland for twelve months and in Frederick county six months next preceding the day of election, then he would be entitled to vote in "Frederick county, if he were naturalized the day before er on the day of election."
