A microscopic investigation of the Lead exhibited by Prof. Mapes, might perhaps reveal a deception, and it would not be the Crst time that fraud has been used to prove that wheat will turn to cheat. When I was in Washington nearly two years ago, Mr. Lcc, Jr., informed mc that some of the agricultural societies in 'York State had offered $100 to any person that would produce a stalk on which tho two kinds of grain were growing at the' same time. Two stalks were offered for the prize. One was found however to have a head of wheat glued upon a stalk of cheat at a nicely-Ctted joint, and a thread run through the head and stalk to the root, to bold it well together. The next speci men, however, was thought to be genuine: there was certainly wheat and cheat mixed on the same head, liut after a closer exa mination it was found that the chess was pasted in the wheat by a paste of the same color as the straw, and it was so well done , that it required the closest scrutiny with RruJttil, That the course panned by supposed to be in favor of re-bnilding at the Hon.

This evil has been felt in many parts of the State as well as in this county, snd bas been remedied by divisions and ' removals of county seats. Yonr superior knowledge of the Legislation of the State, will necessitate us to refer you to but one instance, that of the removal from Orwigs burg to Pottsville. The county is 32 miles North and South and 27 miles East and West, and if divided by the proposed line, would make two very couveniently situated counties. We take it that the smalloess of the proposed counties is no valid objection. The object , of all legislation should be the convenience cf the people, so that even if they should . be " two of the least counties in the State except Delaware aud Philadelphia," (which is not the fact, for there are other counties less in population and area) it would be no reason that wc should endure the griev ance a hen it can be so eas:!y remedied, and when those concerned think it would be to their advintag. Io pcpulati jn and wealth, each county would be superi or to any new couuty heretofore established, and oar prospects for increasing impor'anoe ttl strength, are bright u any.
