lowed to snine on potatoes, and they should be put
INTO the cellar with as little exposure to dry air as
possible alter taken from the ground. We have OBJ
served that where potatoes were turned into the
cellar, and there was much earth among them,
which IN some cases was little moist, the potatoes
have kept in the best condition In the close pens
bins, cask or boxes. In cellar where there Is no
water they keep best on the ground in close bin.
and IT the cellar has much light in it, or is exposed
to the circulation of air. it would be best TO cover
the potatoes with sods or hemlock, spruce, pine or
other evergreen boughs. Many potatoes in the
market are much injured by exposure TO heat air
and light. Heavy rains will iniure potatoes in wet
lands.-BOstOn Cultic0t0r.

now in some parts Of the country, says -" we have
heard OF no complaints of this nature in this State
but all accounts represent the crop to be first rate
throughout. In this country, from what we can
learn, the crop is abundant, and of an excellent
quality. Our merchants have just commenced
shipping, and upward of 1000 bushels were taken
by the steamer Portland this morning."

Richly .Me'ited Pueishment.-During the last
week, Recorder Talmadge has sentenced three
men to the Penitentiary for illegal voting at the
last charter election he gave notice that in all
similar convictions hereafter, he should sentence
the offender TO the extreme term of punishment
fixed by law, instead of only three months. This
is as it should be; and doubt not but these ex-
amples, with full knowledge of the intentions of
the court in future, will prevent many fraudulent

The Tsolence of Party.-Party spirit is always
to be deprecated when it forgets or tramples on
the courtesies of life, and outrages the feelings
which belong to our common nature. Men may
differ in opinion without becoming enemies, and
we glad to see, that notwithstanding the eager
ness of the present campaign, so little violence is
committed. We are sorrow to see an account of
the following outrage, though we know not and do
not wish to knew which party was guilty oft.
