EDIronIAL VIsIT-Our democratic friend,
HIckoK, of the Leuisburg Chronicle, invaded
our sanctum the other morning, and we exPec-
ted to hear of an editorial nose being pulled; but
having happily recovered from his cold, he was
in too good humor, and too freshly experienced
in the misesies attendant thereon, to make any
attempt on our nasal sppendage. Success, long
life. paying subscribers. patient creditors and
immunity fom colds, attend the Chronicle and
its EDITOR Lyeoming Gasehe.
You must have an extravagant opinion
of that nasal organ of yours, if you sup
pose we would think of molesting it, ex-
cept with pair Of t-t-tveezers. But as
your nose has happily recovered from its
fright, {" conscience doth make towards Of
us ALL" you know,) and our nose from its
cold, VIC suppose we can both breathe
frecr and DEEPER and the current Of our
mutual prosperity will flow on unrutfied
and serene; except when the voices of
the night receive sonorous aid and COM
fort from such melodies US sometimes
spring spontaneous from our visits into the
land Of dreams-and at such times, let all
who have an car for music, or faith i'll the
revelations of mesmerism, attend, and
they mag receive from the mysterious ora
Gle messages of ominous import, and dis
cover also, perhaps, that

Fattening Hogs.

Few persons are probably aware OF The
amount Of grain wasted by feeding it whole
and uncooked. Some OF the farmers in
the lower counties have adopted The plan
Of grinding and boiling all their grain fed
10 their cattle and hogs. One gentleman
who had made the experiment, informed US
short time since, that ten bushels Of corn
ground and boiled, was equal to fifteen fed
whole, in faiienins hogs. If such be the
fact, land there can lie no doubt what a
vast amount o grain is annually wasted in
feeding .Sunburv .Anerican.

Weare satisfied that the people Of Old Union
Qhe borough of Lewisburg perhaps e1cepted)
feel inclined to sustain the fugitive slave bill.
As matter Of compromise, being one Of the
peace measures, il ought to have fair trial.
Union Times.
An i'll advised exception, Mr.. Times
That bill is certainly and decidedly unpop-
ular here in some Of its features, but null
li6cation is not the order of the day with
us. There is little probability that we
will ever have occasion here to test
its efficacy; but obnoxious as it is, it will
be regarded as the law of the land, until
modified by the law making power which
gave it existence. Efforts to that end will
certainly be made by our citizens, in the
peaceful exercise Of their right Of petition,
and they will undoubtedly seek to give
their opinions, thus expressed, all possible
force. But the intimation that they are
unmindful, as citizens Of the Union, of
their legal and constitutional obligations,
is founded on misapprchcnsion of the
real state Of the case.

The Potato Rot,

The Bradford .Argus copies The re
marks of the Belefonte Wing and Of the
Lewisburg Chronicle in reference 10 this
disease. and adds The following rcmarks:]
The couse Of the potato rot is as import
ant, as il is Difficult, to ascertain. In our
opinion, the we, weather is no, the cause.
The first symptom Of 70, is universally in
the dying Of The tops. Fall rains naturally
tend to keep them alive and growing till
late in the season. They did not produce
such disastrous results in years past and
why should they now! Like causes will
produce like effects forever. Heavy Equi-
noctial rains are not "new things under The
sun'-whv should their effects be new I.
If moisture in the Garth is the cause, one
would suppose that when the potatoes were
dug and dry, the effect would cease. Blu;
facts are 10 the contrary. Hence our first
conclusion, that wet weather is not the
cause Of the Potatoe rot. We believe the
cause 10 be an injury produced through the
medium Of the stalks by some poisonous
insect. Potatoes that are planted early, or
upon dry and consequently early ground,
many times ripen and the tops wlher be
fore the insect commences his ravages.
They are therefore let alone, But plants
that remain green at certain season Of
tie year, are attacked and infused with
poison which soon destroys them. The
experiment Of moving OF tops has saved
the crop, and early planting and early dig
ging more frequently still. But nothing
,ha, has ever been put into the hill has 10
much extent protected them from the
disease. Potatoes mos, remote from the
stalks, and in the cxtremilies Of the hill,
are generally sound ones-ihe last 10 be
affected. Cause! The poison does no, as
readily work its way 10 the ex,remi,ies CT
the roots. Some kinds Of potaioes rot more
than others. Some tasie better than others,
and so do their stalks. Cattle will eat the
tops Of one kind, and refuse those Of anoih-
er. Why is not the insect elsewhere +!
Po'a'oes Of The best quality are most liable
to be affected, while those Of the poorer
qualify stand The we, weather remarkably.
Hence our second conclusion, that an insect
is the cause If the po,a,oe rot. We know no,
what insect i, is that commits such depre.
da,ions, any more ,lan we know the insect
lha, is destroying The cherry trees in this
country bu, !ha, i, is an insect in both
cases we firmly believe. And that the
'''tsiers, tops aud all" are badly and mos,
provokinsly destroyed Of late years, we
knor. Hence our third conclusion, lha,
we don't know what insect it is.

On Friday morning last, about 5 o'clock,
the frame stable on the premises of Col
Eli Slifer, in this place, was discovered to
be on fire, but the flames were fortunately
extinguished before any serious damage
was done. A minute more would have
ensured the destruction of the building.
On the same morning, at about the
same hour, barn on the Isle of Que,
near Selinsgrove, belonging to Mr.. John
Hartman, Jr., was entirely consumed, to-
gethcr with two hundred bushels of wheat,
which had been threshcd out but the day
before.

D~Considcrable damage is said to have
been done to timber by the fire on the
mountains last week in Buffaloc and White
Deer townships. Timber, and fences, also,
We believe, suffered much from the same
cause on Chestnut Ridge, near Shade
Mountain, in Perry township. At least
while going up the road from Freeburg to-
wards Richield, on last Wednesday after
noon, We observed the fire sweeping along
the Ridge with great rapidity and violence,
towards the farms in that vicinity; and
from our lodgings that night, some three
miles south of the line of the fire, We
heard the horns blowing for assistance,
shortly after dark, and the shouts Of those
engaged in battling with the destructive
element, did not die away till near mid
night. As our business led us in another
direction, we were not able to learn the
next day how much damage had been done,
but from the appearances the day before,
We thought some houses and barns, as well
as fences were in danger.
