History OF tic Mercer potatoe.

The Hon. Elisha Whittlesey, of Ohio late
Sixth Auditor, in letter 10 the Hon. John s.
Skinner, Assistant Postmaster General, gives
the following history Of the Mercer potatoe
which We arc sure will be interesting to our a.
erculural readers.
"My Dear Sr--I have succeeded, by the
aid of Mr.. McLain, p. NJ. ut Warren, and Mr.
Gallony, p. NJ, Wilmington, Mercer county,
Pa in obtaining the history Of the Neshanoc
or Mercer Potatoe. 1t is furnished by james
Gllkey, the brother of John Gilkey, who produ.
ccd it from the seed. /, appears from James
Gilkey's letter, that an article was published in
the Mercer Lnminary, on the 9th of June, 1880,
which was copied from paper at Easton, Pa,
pretending to give an account of the origin Of
the said potatoc, in which the writer, as Mr..
James Gi'kcy says, was mistaken in some par.
ticulars of the biography of his brother, which
he wishes corrected shall copy that part of
his letter, according to his request.
"John Gilkcy and James Gikey moved from
Westnureland county, Pa. in the month of No.
vember, 1877, and settled on tract OF land in
what is now Slippery Rock township Mercer
county, Pa ,abont twenty miles east of Ncsha-
noe creek. In the fall ofthe year 1900 or 1901,
John Gilkcy collected the balls or apples from
his potatoes, which were of the varieties Of red,
! blue and white In the spring he planted the
balls or apples in bed in his garden. The
seeds produced small potatoes, some of them
not larger than peas, md of fercnt colors. On
being cultivated the second and third year, the
potatoe arrived at its tull size. How John Gill
key selected from the first production, James
Gilkey does not know Mr. Bevan Pearson
first cultivated the po'atoe in the vicinity Of Phi
ladelphia, from seed obtained in Mercer county,
and thence named it after the county where It
was first produced Mr.. lohn GIlkey named it
Neshanoc, after creek from which the settle.
nent i. named John Gkey is dead, and his
surviving brother is the only person from whom
! correct information can be obtained His state
ment may be implicitly relied on.
"The history ofthis excellent potatoe is pro.
badly as ample as you desire, and it is certainly
as full as can at this day be obtained"

O-y~ We refer our readers TO the letter of Gen.
Cass, on the annexation of Texas. Gen. Cass,
it will be seen, comes out explicitly in favor OF
the measure, This alone would give him more
strength than any other candidate now in the
of annexation. Either of these distinguished
men would be warmly supported by the demo-
cracy of the Union, and we are confident that
one or the other will be nominated by the Balti-
more Convention. Gen Cass, it is said, is high
" popular in the South, even with Mr. Van Blu.
