HORTICULTURE.

The superior advantages Portsmouth, and its
vicinity, possesses. in raising early vegetables for
the Northern market, and the facility with which
they can be conveyed by steam boats, daily, to
meet the Rail Road at Baltimore, is becoming
yearly more perceptble. A few enterprisinq
men have availed themselves of these advantages.
and have been amply repaid for their trouble and
outlay. One gardener, we learn, raised this wear
few miles from town, eleven hundred barrels of
cucumbers alone. for which he received a clear
proht OF 10 cents per barrel, netting him 1925
from the culture of eight acres of land.-of n
quality that can be leased on the Western Branch
and SCOTS Creek, for two or three dollars per
acre-besides what he raised of other fruits and
vegetables, such as melons, peaches, tomatoes.
and potatoes. Another gardener raised and clear
ed this year on vegetables on thirteen acres,
$3.50, and others on Scou's Creek and Western
Branch have on small plots of ground, cleared
from to 600 dollars
These facts should be an inducement 70 others
TO embark in the business Of raising vegetables.
and fruit, for the Northern markets. where thew
can always get good price for their productions.
as 1t is well known fact, that our soil is at least
SIX weeks earlier than that of Philadelphia and
New York, and the vast quantities of vegetables
and fruits consumed in those cities, will always
insure safe and profitable market

CONTEMPLATE AND .HEARTLESS
TRICK

The Miners Journal of Saturday says " The
Hot Blast of the Valley Furnace has been rooted
III, and the whole works put in a foil state of
suspension. The roof is snrmounted with a bar
rel which is labelled, DalLass night cap"
We observe that the following paragraph is
travelling the rounds through the wing press, in
order to affect the coming elections in Pennsyva-
MIA This closing a Hot Blast Furnace is not
done without considerable expense, and when we
consider that its object is to starUe men into vot-
ing against their principles, we look upon it
with loathing and horror. These Iron Masters
under the Tariff of 1916, will receive when it
goes into operation protection of some FORTY
FIVE PER CENT, and yet they can stoop to such
heartless cruelty as is indicated above
srJeWe hope that liberal subscription will be
raised TO support every man who is thrown out of
employment, and will vote the Democratic ticket.
while that insult to Mr. Dallas, and the Democ.
Iacy, is suffered to cover that Furnace and that
the best and most powerful and popular speakers
will be sent into that neighborhood To sustain the
Democracy, and expose and denounce the infamv
of those &" Iron Masters"
