four persons in the "Croton Maid,'' boat pre-
pared for the purpose, gave evidence that no in
significant stream was flowing into the city. The
greatest interior width of the Aqucduct is feet
inches, and its greatest interior height feet 81
Inches. It's capable of discharging sixty million
gallons daily. The Croton lake covers an area Of
about four hundred acres, and contains five hun
dred million gallons The minimum flow of water
from the Croton is twenty. seven million gallons
daily, and with the aid of the lake would supply
in long continued drought thirty FIVE million gal
Ions daily, which would be more than sufficient for
twice,the present population of New York; and,
II 1t ever becomes necessary other reservoirs can
be constructed on the river that would furnish to
the aqueduct supply beyond its capacity for de-
livery, In magnitude of design. and solidity Of
construction, the Croton Aqueduct throws into the
shade all similar structures of modern times, and
even rivals the Aqua Marcia and the Anio Novus
of ancient Rome. AS an instance Of the libera-
ty and enterprise of a free people it stands pre-
emiNent 1t was constructed by a single city, du-
ring period Of great commercial embarrassment,
and in the face Of great natural difficulties, while
yet in the infancy of its growth. The citizens of
New York have not been satisfied with simply sup
plying their own wants at moderate cost but
have acted for the benefit CT future generations.
The successful accomplishment of this gigantic
undertaking, at an expense of nine million dollars
has afforded them more satisfaction than they
could have derived from any project, however
small the required expenditure, that would merely
have provided for the present the early future.
They are, however by no means insensible to the
great blessings Immediately conferred by this noble
work. Their experience has already shown them
that sobrcty and cleanliness have been promoted,
convenience and comfort enhanced, the power OF
disease lessened the facilities of mechanical ope-
rations increased, and protection agains the raw
ages of fire secured. But it is peculiarly for 9th
er times that the Croton rolls its waves into the
heart of populous city. When the whole island
Of New York shall be peopled with inhabitants.
and the experience of years, perhaps ages, shall
have discovered thousand new uses to which it
may be made subservient, then, and not till then,
the value of the Croton Aqueduct be duly ap-
preciated; and when, in ages still more remote,
other monuments OF art shall have crumbled into
dust, or present the mere traces Of their former
greatness, will the river sweep through its endu-
ring channels Of masonry, monument more en-
during than brass, of the glory of New York.

A Cure and Preventative for the POtatOe Rot
WESTERN SARATOGA
Union County, H., January IS, 1853.

WESTERN SARATOGA
Union County, H. January rs, 1858
Nessrs. Chambers d Knapp:
DEAR SIRs Permit me through your very ex-
cellent paper to make known to the farming part
of the community and others interested perfect
curd and preventative of the potatoe rot, having
tested 1t Thoroughly four years, with perfect
cess while others in the same field, who did not
use the preventative, lost their entire crop by the
rot. 1t not only prevents the rot but restores the
potatoe to its primitive vigor and the product is
not only sound, but double the SIZE consequently,
producing twice the quantity on the same ground,
and the vines grow much larger, and retain their
freshness and vitality until the frost kills them.
Aside from the cure of the rot, the farmers
would be more than doubly compensated for their
trouble and expense in the increase and quality of
the crop. 1t being of such vast importance for
the farming part of the community to know the
secret of the preventative in time to save the com
ing crop of potatoes hasten its publication, in
order to give them chance to try it, if they see
proper, the present season. trusting entirely to the
public gratitude to reward me, as they may see
proper, at their next Annual Fair for the discov-
cry, after they have tested the merits Of the pre-
tentative
The remedy or preventative of the potatoe rot,
is as follows:
Take one peck fine salt and mix it thoroughly with
half bushel of Novascotia plaster or Gypsum,
1.-THE plaster is the best, and Immediately after
hoeing the potatoes the second time, just as the
young potatoe begins to set, sprinkle on the main
vines next to the ground, table spoonful of the
above mixture to each hill, and be sure to get it
the main vines, as it is found that the rot pro-
ceedS from a sting of an insect in the vine, and
the mixture coming in contact with the vine, kills
the effect of it, before it reaches the potatoe-
Farmers would do nell to try it, as they would be
well paid for their trouble by the increase of their
crop we'll as the quality of the potatoe. Try ii
and see. / could, if necessary, furnish ample
certificates to establish the above, but deem it un
necessary, asst needs only trial to prove it.
Mr. Editor if you think the above worthy
place in your paper, you will please publish it fol
the benefit Of aaAers, and oblige yours.

Ma. ED1roR ;

The question has been frequently
asked, why is it, that certain visitors to public
grounds and gardens, in divers sections of our
country, are beset with remarkable penchant for
defacng the ornaments and embellishments pecu
liar and appropriate to such places We can &C
count for it only by ascribing to such persons an
utter ignorance of propriety, or total depravity
of taste. 1t was remarked by citizen Of our
town few days since, that it was not unusual for
some visitors to the. Odd Fellows burial ground,
to strip of the lots, Of the flowers and plants,
which the hand offriendship or affection may have
placed over the remains of friends or relatives
The decoration and Improvement of burial ground
which next to the sanctuary we hold most sa-
Cred indicates refined public feeling, and fur
nishes fit opportunity for the display of taste,
and the exercise of art in adornng all within its
precincts. Such was the object in locating and es-
tablishing the Odd Fellows Cemetary. Many
have accordingly selected their lots planted their
shrubs and taken unusual care in rearing their
flowers and evergreens, emblems of virtues they
were designed to commemorate. These should be
held almost as sacred, and as free from molesta-
ton, as the remains which reposc beneath them
They are at least unfit and inappropriate for
gays, and boquets for the idle and thoughtless-
It'll hoped by those who have an interest in the
Cemetary, that visitors will not profane their bu-
rial spots by trampng their lots, pucking then
flowers and plants-otherwse they will feel but
poorly encouraged in work, which claims their
active benificence, and which should enlist the
public spirit of our citizens.

"Time" has been denominated by some "money,"
