PreyenIive of Polntoe Roi.

Mr. H. Peuoycr publishes letter in the St.
Louis Republican, making known a cure and
preventive Of the pOtaioe rot, which he says
himself and others have tried with complete
success, and found that it not only prevents the
rot, but restores tie potatOe to its pristine Wig
or, and increases the size and quantity Of the
product His remedy is as follows;
Take one peck Of fine salt and mix il tho
roughly with half bushel of Nova Scotia plas-
ter or gypsum, the plaster is the best and
Immediately after hOeng the potatoes the Sec
ond time, or just as the young potatoe begins
to set, sprinkle on the main vines next to the
ground a table spoonful of the above mixture
to each hill, and be sure to get it on the main
vines, as it is found that the rot proceeds from
a sting OF an insect in the vine, and the mix
ture coming in contact with the vine, kills the
effect Of it before it reaches the pOtatoe.

In al the different markets there appears to
be an unusual business in the transactions IN
wool. and at prices. too. which cannot fail 10
be remunerative 10 theprodueer, Unfortunate
ly, most Of this staple, last year, changed hands
before the rise had commenced, consequently
buyers and spectators shared most largely in
the profits There appears to be no danger Of
low prices for the coming clip, and farmers who
keep well posted, cannot fail to make good sales.
Our fears are that the price will be too high for
the permanent interest Of manufacturers, and
consequently for the interest of wool growers.
We subjoin the prices indicated by recent sales
in some Of the principal cities.
NEW York Wool MARKET.-There has been,
both for foreign and domestic, very active
demand. The following list of prices embrace
those which have been paid within the last SIX
days: American Saxony fleece, 56@62 cents

American and Merino 46@ Soc; American,
native and / MerinO 4l@46c. Superfne, pull
led Asa 59c No /, pulled 39@44c.
BosToS-Similar prices have been paid, with
an advance demand.
PHILADELPn1A.-The market has been more
active, the demand being principally to go East
anu the safes reach dOOub LOOtOON iDSs az Nci y
full, and in some instances, at unexpected rates
the frmness Of holders at the close having a
tendency to check sales. Among the transac'
tions we notice 100000 lbs. fine fleece at &C

half of the clip has been bought at from 80 t

ment, and contracts have been made to con
siderable extent for clips, at prices rangin!

tire interest in the bank bills thus seized, by
Mr.. j. G. Deshler produce dealer, Of Bufia-
10, New York. A sale was finally made, Mr.
Deshler paying in cash rs per cent on the en-
tire AMOUNT for the said interest.
Mr.. Deshler thereupon Immediately sued out
writ Of replevin from the United States Dis
trict Court Tor Ohio, and with the aid Of Dep
uty Marshal Smith took possession, about 10
O'Clock on Saturday evening, Of the bank bills
in question.
Thus the whole matter Of the tax law and
the crow bar Law goes al once before the Fed
eral Courts for adjudication and we are per-
suaded that the people Of Ohio will feel as
great confidence in the action Of Judges Nc
Lean and Leayitt in the premises, as could pos
sibly be reposed in that Of the judicial lumina-
ries Of our State Courts.
All this difficulty might have been obviated
had the Legislature added another section tC
It's law. defining and restricting the jurisdic
ton Of the United States Courts. This would
have displayed the same wisdom which charac
terizes other portions, and would have been as
binding.

The following is the account which the Cleve-
land Herald gives of the application of the
Crow-Bar Law to the Banks in that city:
Saturday last was the day fixed by the Coun
ty Treasurer for the attack upon the Cleveland
Banks in pursuance of the provisions of the
mob law recently enacted by the late Locofoco
General Assembly.
1t was the absorbing topic of the day. Some
of the more curious wondered il the banks
would not deem it prudent, SO soon as they
should find the Treasurer and his posse reso
lutte, to comply with the heavy exaction and
thereby avoid destruction to their property, and
tedious and troublesome resort to the dead
certainties Of our Locofoco Courts. Curiosi
ty was all day on tip-toe, and continuous buzz
filed the popular ear. AT length the tint
came, and the Treasurer presented himself will
proper force at the Commercial Branch Bank
and demanded the tax and penalties. 1t was
scene that would have done honor to the tax
gathering publicans in the days Of Plate anC
Antipas. The extortioners were present, ant
the vanquished tribute-payers were again !,
be reminded Of their degradation.
But the officers of the bank had concluded
on mature reflection, to avoid violence to thei
vaults, safes and other property, preferring L
surrender under proper protest the keys whel
demanded This was accordingly done, an,
the Treasurer proceeded to help himselfto $ll,
$50 in bank bills, no "gold, silver or coppe
coin or bullion" being visible to thenaked eye
A similar descent was made upon the Cit
Bank, the Merchants Branch Bank, and tn
Canal Bank with the following results

A cOnvspliOa was held At Wellssille ts.the
23l inst. for the purpose Of determining vheth-
eT the down-ryer continuation Of the G. 4 p.
Railroad should be made on the Ohio or Yir-
ginia side Of the river. Considerable anxiety
was manifested by delegates from Steubenyils
and Wheeling for opposite sides Of The river
The Pittsburgh Post saws that after hearing
both sides Of the question, the Directors unan-
imously agreed, and passed resolutions TO the
effect, that it was practicable to construct the
River Railroad on the Ohio side Of the river.
and impracticable 10 construct il on the Virgin
ia side. So that puts the question at rest.
As soon as the SUM Of $500. 600 is subscrb-
ed, and the right Of way obtained, this branch
of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad from
Wellsville to Bridgeport, win be put under con-
tract, We learn that about $500, 900 is al
ready subscribed, and the balance will be forth
coming in a short time. We believe the right
of way has also been obtained SO that there is
every prospect Of the "Circumbendibus" being
put under contract during the coming summer.

Mr.. EDIroR,-I am the owner Of rocking
chair, one Of the rockers of which has been,
by accident, broken off, When the Assessor
comes around, should | give in that chair for
taxation?
My wife, being very conscientious woman,
insists that it should be assessed, as it comes
within the general description of "animate or
inanimate." | insist, that inasmuch as it is Of
no use as a rocking chair, and does not serve
the purpose for which it was made, it is Of no
value whatever. She replies, that the other
rocker can be broken, and then it will answer
the purposes Of a common chair. My rejonder
10 this is, that am not bound to destroy my
property for the benefit Of the State.
Now, as we cannot agree about this matter,
and as it is a very important one, desire thai
you, Mr.. Editor, will advise me what it is best
to do in the premises. PETER SIMPLE.
Not being very familiar with the tax law, we
are unable to inform Mr. Simple what he should
do in the premises. We refer him to the au
thor Of the law, as it is presumed that he un
derstands its provisions better than any Othe
person. Ed.

In attempts to invent perpetual motions and
flying machines, men do not seem to be diseOur-
aged BY the repeated failures Of their Predeces-
sOrs. The following, which We clip rom The
Cleveland Herald, is an authority in point:
"Mr. Porter has been successfully exhibit

suspended saloon, containing small steam
engine, to move the screw prOpellers, which
operate between the float and the saloon. The
Eroport moved gracefully around The room. tC

states that Mr.. 2 has been for some months
past engaged in constructing an eroPOrt on
scale sufficiently large to carry passengers
This, when completed, will test the PRACTICABLE
ity Of the invention. By the way, can the Re
public tell what has become Of Prof Salomon'
gas engine. that was to drive steam of the tracl
entirely? Has the invention proved 70 be ga

More Gold.

A new gold region has been discovered, near
Maacca, in India, which promises a considera
bic increase of the precious metal as if Austria
liza and California were not enough TO supply
the wants of the world. 1t has long been
known as a gold producing locality, and at one
time was extensively worked by the Chinese
but for many years has been abandoned, owing
to the lawless conduct of the Malays, who, be-
ing too lazy themselves to work the minesy
plundered and murdered the Chinese to such
an extent that the latter were forced to quit the
spot. The party now at work consists of some
seven or eight Europeans, who have about 80
Chinese in their employ, and the quantity of
gold obtained by this party is said to be about
80 ounces a day, with every prospect Of an in
crease Chinese, to the number of $50, or
thereabouts, are also at work. The gold OBJ
tanned by the European party at present, rs
found in stream flowing from the mountain.

That Phenomenon.

The "fre and birthstone" which we spoke
Of as having fallen in and about our town on
last Saturday, one week ago, seems to have
visited all this section Of the State. Many su-
perfcial observers, withal little superstitiOus,
took the yellow substance for bona ide brm-
stone, and concluded that we we're to be visited
with the punishment Of SOdOm. But little
science makes the thing very plain. 1t seems
that the sulphur" was nothing more or less
than the pollen from the blossoms Of some trees,
that it had been borne in the atmosphere from
the south, and was brought down by the rain
The substance was examined chemically, and
ascertained to be as above stated.

1t is not attended so largely as the former one.
We are pleased however to see as much in
terest manifested as there is, but il seems to us
that very little enthusiasm prevades the assem-
bly,. 1t so far has looked more like dull
school in some out-of-the-way place than an
arena where talent meets talent and is sharp
ened by the conflict.
Our advice to those whose business it is to
teach, is to go right into the work as If you
were in earners. Make it your business to be
able to meet every emergency in this behalf
Use every opportunity to improve yourselves,
and as this Institute affords fine opportunity
for so doing, go right into it heart and SOUL

sible one. Much depends upon you. If YOU
are well qualified for your business you may
expect to reap honors in the prosecution there

which number of wealthy Calfornians have

the view to having them annexed to the United
