De- The Mew Lomlon Chronicle re-
cords the death of the venerable DR..
Samuel Mott, on the Goth ult., at his
residence in Franklin, CT. He was in
his 99th year. About week before
his dccease, his gown caught fire while
sitting alone in his room, and before it
was extinguished his hand was badly
burned. The injury and excitement
consequent upon this accident, probably
FASTENED his death. DR.. Mott had been
settled in the parish more than seventy
years, and was probably the oldest pas.
tor Of a parish in New England, or per-
haps in the United States. "

pH- Considerable excitement was
created last week, in Stonington, Ct.,
by the appearance of mad-dog, which
bit quite number of other dogs in diff
ferent parts of the town, and in the
Stonington part of this village, before
he was killed. 1t was reported that a
girl had been bitten and died in short
time, but we have not been able to learn
whether the report is true. Vigorous
measures are being taken by the town
authorities to prevent further mischief.
All dogs found at large in the town are
to be Immediately executed, without the
benefit of judge or jury. Two or three
dogs were seen on the other side of the
river this "Wednesday morning, which
were supposed to be rabid. 1t would
be well to use proper prccaution in this
matter. ua

HI- The Democratic Convention for
nominating presidential candidate, met
at Baltimore last week. After hard
struggle, in which sometimes Cass and
sometimes Buchanan were ahead, while
seven or eight others were canvassed for
Gen. Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire,
received, on the forty-ninth ballot, over
two hundred votes, thus nominating him
as the Democratic candidate for Presid-
ent. Gen. Pierce has been repeatedly
chosen to the New Hampshire Legisla-
ture, (House) of which he was finally
made Speaker. He was first elected to
Congress in 1888, March, took his
seat the following December, and served
through two terms, when he was chosen
into the Senate, where he served from
1887 to 1912, when he resigned.
The Convention then proceeded to
ballot for candidate for Vice President,
which resulted in the choice of William
r. King, Of Alabama.

Eas~ The steward on board United
States steamer, in the Gulf, has produc-
ed several crops of excellent potatoes by
the following mode of cultivation:
He procured common crockcry
crate bundle of straw, and few eyes
of the potato, and went to farming it on
board ship. The process for cultivating
them is this: Fill your crate with al
ternate layers of straw and eyes of the
potato, commencing at the bottom with
a layer of about six inches 10 depth Of
straw, and then layer of the eyes
the eyes being placed about two inches
apart over the surface of the straw
then another layer of straw on the top.
Keep the straw always moist, and in
about two months you will have about
$l4 worth of sound, good potatoes Of
the first water.'"
