THE POTATOE ROT.

The editor of the Sandusky County Democrat
says: We hear almost general complaint among
the farmers of this county, of the potatoe crop be-
ing affected with the rot The crop has turned
out better than any one expected three months
ago. but since it has been gathered, and the exis.
tencc of the disease known, doubts are expressed
as to there being enough for home consumption for
the year to come. Some attribute the rot to the
drought; others, to a particular soil. We should
like to have the opinion of the editor of the Guilt
vator. or any of our experienced farmers upon this
subject"
REMARKs.-We are inclined to think that the
rot which our Sandusky neighbor speaks of, is not
of the same kind as that which has for the past two
years prevailed in of the eastern states and is
now exciting so much alarm in most parts of Eu-
rope This potatoe ch0lora as it is now often cal
led does not appear to have extended its ravages
in this country the past season, but on the contra
ry has done less injury in most parts than last year
- though in portions of Maine and Nova Scotia it
has been worse than ever before, is also the case
in Europe. In the north eastern counties of this
state, ana III WeStern FeHisyiVdIlid dnu I'VE" oIk,
where there were some appearances of the disease
last year, we hear of few complaints this season;
hence there is reason to hope that it will in short
time, disappear entirely, or be confined to cooler
and warmer climates than ours. Much discussion
has been had in regard to the nature Of this maady,
its cause remedies, &c, both in the papers of this
country and Europe, and much laborious research
has been bestowed upon the subject by men ofsci-
ence; but, although many plausible theories have
been advanced, nothing positive, or very conclu.
sive, has as yet been made known respecting H.
Another years experience will probably be neces-
sary to decide upon the merits of different theories
and the remedies proposed.

FRONTIER MATTERS.

A gentleman from Sekirk's settle
mcnt which is located about seven
hundred miles above st. Peters; ano
connected with the Hudson's Bay Com
pany furnishes the Galena, Illinois
Gazette with some interesting items
Of intelligence. A whole family Of
half breeds, named LIE Femboize, who
were hunting at the Turtle Mountains
have been killed by the Yenktons OF
the Missouri. A clerk of the Ameri-
can Fur Company, on Vermillion river.
has raised the Indians against the Nor
mons who were wintering there and
killed great number Of their cattle;
one of their party had started for Coun-
Gil Bluffs to complain. Two white
men while descending the Missouri
river in a canoe, were shot by the
Sioux. The Hudson's Bay Company
has arrogated itself the power Of life
and death, by the trial, and excursion
of Chippewa Indian for killing one
of the Sioux. The ChIppewas deter
mined to retaliate, and commenced
proceedings by shooting three or four
OF the cattle belonging to the Bishop,
and one or two horses of the hall
breeds, and it is thought much mischief
will insue.

THE TINE FOR CUTTING TIMBER.

THE TIME FOR CUTTING TIMBER.
Mr.. EpIroR-I am reader Of your paper, and
have observed nothing in its columns as yet res.
pectng the best time of cutting timber for durabil-
ity, or to hasten its decomposition. This is a sub.
ect Of interest TO every inquiring farmer; for it is
well known that the same kinds of timber are more
or less durable owing to the of the year in
which they were cut.
There appears to be variety Of opinions, how
ever among writers, to the best time for cutting
timber: 1t is stated in the Genesee Farmer, vol s,
p Al. that February is the best time to insure its
durability. In book, printed at Philadelphia,
soon after the revolutionary war, the author says:
" Long experience, think, hath sufficiently as
certalned, that timber cut down in the spring, Is
much more durable than when cut at any other
times" The New England Farmer says midsum-
mer, while, strange as it may appear, others say
fall. These opinions cannot all be right
have learned by observation that by cutting
timber in February, there will be but little differ
ence in the appearance of the white or sap wood
and red or outer heart, and both are more durable
than il cut in any other season of the year. Iftm'
Der be girdled in February, the bark will cleave tc

has refused to issue his warrant for the delivery OF
the Parkersburg kidnappers, on the requsition OF
Governor Barley Gov McDowellhas also sent
requisiton to Gov. BARLEY for the delivery of the
two Ohio citizens indicted in Wood county, for
assisting the escape of Howarth's slaves. Gov.

prisonment for debt, and capital pun

1t may be true, as the whig papers al
ledge, that democratic legislatures, in
some Of the States have heretofore
acted like fools in chartering aOildcat
banks, and in voting for improper laws.
but it is also true that the honest MEM
bers of those legislatures have seen
the error of their ways, and changed
their opinions, and that the others have
been driven over to the whig party.
Texas and Louisiana have provided

any body who looks carefully at the

Mississippi and Illinois will soon follow
