We subjoin the following letter, and express our regret 

 that it was a mojith in travelling from Pambroke to Bos- 

 ton, at least we infer so from the datc^ since it was not 

 received until the 20th ult The corn referred to has 

 not yet reached us. Certainly if we cannot have a rail- 

 road between this and Pembroke, we may at least rail 

 at the present road. H. C. 



Pembkoke, 26th of 2d mo,, 1840. 

 Respected Fbjend— I herewith send thee a few ears 

 sf flesh-colored corn, a variety which I have cultivated 

 ivith good success for several years, and which has been 

 ssteenied as ten days or two weeks earlier than the cora- 

 non white corn ; but as all corn lends to ripen a little 

 ater each year, farmers, have found it necessary tochange 

 heir seed in order to secure its perfection before our ear- 

 y fall frosts, and more especially for three or four years, 

 last, for which reasort I have mostly discominued culti- 

 fating this kind for two years past, although it ripened 

 veil the last season, and is remarkable for earing low 

 md full and filling over the end of the cob, as thou will 

 ibserve. The specimen here presented is remarkable 

 or nothing but its abundant increase, being the entire 

 )roduction of one kernel of corn only, and is the more 

 emarkable as it is well known that single blades of corn 

 landing remote from any others, (as was the case in this 

 nslance,) are seldom as productive of full sound ears as 

 hose standing in fields The history of this instance is, 

 hat a neighbor of mine, Capt. Joseph Cotes, found a 

 ingle blade of corn growing in his garden among his oth- 

 r vegetables, and observing it to he vigorous and strong, 

 ultivated it to its perfection.: it liad elevea beards fiir 

 ars, on all of which there were sound kernels : he has 

 ounted the whale, and states them to be 2134 kernels, 

 md I believe there is no doubt of the fact of this state- 

 nent, although I did not see the corn when growin" ;
