For the Lewisburg Chronicle.
The SiZe Of Potatoes for Planting

Ma EDIToR: have observed in the
Chronicle, several articles relative to the
size of the seed to be used in raising pota-
toes. Ny practice has been as follows:
Ny laryest potatoes reserve for family
use, as not only the beet, but also the least
troublesome to prepare for the table.
My mid5le-s'zed potatoes | choose for
planting, not only because they are of a
convenient form for uniform dropping, but
because they furnish sufficient nutrment
to the young plant to give it a good start
without wasting, (as healthy, well-fsd
mother imparts good constitution to the
child in embryo,) and also because they
are most apt to produce a medium-sized
potato, neither too large nor too small.
The smallest potatoes are the most diff
ficult to clean, and unhandy to plant. My
plan, therefore, is to feed out my smaller
potatoes to the cows and swine. These
animals are much benefited by potatoes,
and the smaller are easier cooked for the
swine. In the winter, the boys or others
have more time to wash and sort potatoes
than in the fall or spring.
Many farmers lose their potatoes BY the
frost This should never be, for little
caro- and labor can always preserve them.
And there is no greater folly than for
man to toll hard and then needlessly ly leave
the fruit Of bis labors to even the chance
of destruction.
1t appears to me that our farmers err
greatly in not planting more potatoes. l
believe that when you sum up expenses
and receipts, by and large, one year with
another, it is the most profitable crop We
raise. Look at the prices they bring and
have brung. Then plant many more, and
whether they rot or not, they will either
bring good market price, or furnish an
excellent article for "home consumption" +"

Presence of Mind.

The herdsman of farm in Scotland had
occasion, lately, to send his daughter for
the cattle under his charge. There were
about eighty of them, and among them
two bulls, one of which was occasionally y
in the habit of assaulting people. On the
day in question the damsel unwarily ap-
preached the bull too closely, when he
Immediately gave chase. On level field,
without dykes, bogs or any other place Of
refuge to resort to, what would the reader
have done-for, to run home, distance
of three quarters Of mile, was out of
the question. The girl, with great pre-
sence of mind, ran over to the other bull
a good naturned animal, and much strong
er than her assailant. Standing close by
bis side, and tapping him kindly on the
back, she drove him towards her fathers
house, followed by her enraged enemy,
who kept roaring and fuming all the way !;
but when he came too close her protector
turned round, and with shake and toss
of his head, kept the assailant a. bay. In
this manner the fugitive arrived safely at
home

The marriage of Jenny Lind has given
great satisfaction in Hamburg, in which
city the IamiIy of Mr.. Goldschmldt resides.
The news preceded the arrival Of his own
letters. and the report was treated as a
j Ike, until his parents received from Mr..
Go odschmid, him ;elf the tidings OF the
its truth.
Hon. Henry Clay first took his seat in

1t adds nothing to the timber, but destroys
the property in the sap Which constitutes
the element Of decay Many persons have
supposed that the body Of lhetree contain
less sap in winter tlal in summer-from
the Questionable supposition that the sap
in winter, in. tcad of passing down into
the roots, and remains there till spring.
But am persuaded that careful inves-
tigation will convince any unpreJudlced
person, that the sap in winter, instead OF
passing down into the roots, is deposited
in the middle or heart Of the tree. AT
least that is the opinion which have been
led to adopt, from a somewhat carefl
investigator # the .ulj c. And the
e'emcnt of decay being in the sap, We find
that the more of tie destroyer there is in
the heart, the sooner it will decay, and
con.eo uently that the winter season is the
wrong time for cutting. In the spring the
zap begins to start, and gradually passes
from the heart to the outside and e1tremi-
ties of the tree, and in the month of June
more sap is to be found on or near the
surface than at any other season Of the
ar. This fact being admitted, it follows
that the body or heart of the tree contains
less, and is thereby rendered much more
LISTING, for the rea. Oh that it contains less
Of the destroyer.
Irecol,ect having read, a yesr or two
ago, the result of an experiment made by
the English Academy of Science. In that
report the fact is established, by actual
experiment, that June is the month for
cutting snip timber; but they do not give
the reason why it is so. With no great
pretentions to science, have attempted
to give reason for the opinion advanced,
and if in error stand ready to be corrected.
Let those who are interes'el in such
matters try the following experiment-we
n-e sure that they will be anply rewarded
for their labor. Cut stick Of white oak
timber in February and let it lie till next
July or August. Then hew, and plane
smooth, and submit it to the oblique ray'
of the sun, and you will find that its pore!
eoIt7in something that sparkles in tL'
SUD, like SO many diamonds. This upor
close examination you will find to be Z
white mouhi and will convince you tha
the work Of decc mposition h;s alread
begun. Cut another stick next june, ,anc
after submitting it to the same experiment
my word for it, you will be perfectly sat
isfied with the result. Not only will tn,
timber be entirely free from mould O.
rust, but it will look much brighter ant
firmer than the other
Some eight years ago We be built brig
of timber cut in June, and then expressed
the opinion that she would be . goot
sound vessel while those Of half her year
built of tmb GU in the win'er season
would have gone to dec-y. Last summel
che met with an accident, and We wer'
able to test Cur theory. The examination
perfectly satisfied US that the previousl J
expressed opinion was literally correct.

on number of passengers, and then
pushed out and started on. Upon arriving
at Scott's landing, four miles above Car
rollton, at the foot of Craig's bar, she was
called in for passenger, the Rev. Perry
A. Scott, Baptist minister, formerly sta
toned in Covington, and recently in War
saw, XIV. Mr.. Scott had been on a visit to
his parents, and was returning to his charge.
His parents and three sisters accompanied
him to the landing to witness his depar-
ture, as the sequel proved, into the presence
of his God The Redstone showed out
and backed down from the landing about
one hundred yards. A strong wind was
Blowing in shore, and it was with difficulty
that she could back her way out. At the
second revolution she Dade to start forward
her three boilers exploded at the same
time, with tremendous noise, shattering
and tearing the boat literally to atoms.
She sunk in less than three minutes, in
twenty feet water. The ladies' cabin and
aft part of the boat, from the n-deck
up, in its shattered condition, took fire and
burned to the waters edge. In the explo-
sion her chimneys were blown nearly across
the river.
Between twenty and forty persons, it is
thought, were instantly killed. The river
was covered with small pieces of timber,
bedding, wearing apparel, while the trees
in the immediate vicinity, on the Kentucky
shore, were covered with clothing, bedding,
&c. Eleven were blown on slore, and
instantly killed. The first engineer, and
striker" were found nearly together, in
an open field, over one hundred yards from
the river. An opening near the top of 8
large OAK tree, over one hundred feet high
was male by the engineer, who passed
through, stripping him entirely of hi:
clothing, and tearing large pieces Of fesi
from his body. The second engineer wa
fund in a corn-fcld, all mangled and tori
opisces. The clerk was standing near th'
Office door when the explosion took place
He was thrown into the air a distance o
nearly two hundred feet, and fell into th'
river, but received no serious injury. II,
swan ashore, and seeing fellow beinl
struggling in the water, plunged in to hi
assistance, and succeeded in rescuing him
1t is supposed that FIVE cabin boys perishe,
il the flames. 4 small house on the hill
near the landing, was converted into a hos
pital. Beds were placed around on th'
floor, and many Of the dead and woundc'
were placed upon them. The floor N
bed-clothes were covered with blood. Th
suffering Of those wounded is represented
as being awful in the extreme.
