A, Pickering, of Portsmouth, founda kernel of maize in an old earthen ves- sel which must have been buried for at least two centuries. That spring he planted the old seed by itself und before the wane of au- tumn had the satisfaction of behold- ing a strange stalk of vigorous growth, which, as the season advanc- ed, bore two ears of large sweet corn ofa variety not before seen even by the proverbial “oldest inhabitant.” Some of the seed was saved and has prospered beyond all expected measure, and this year he has a small garden planted with the seed, as thecorn is very sweet and luscious. Corn is said to have retained its vitality for over 2,000 years.—Vick’s Magazine.
