HISTs TO FARMERS. Early Potatoes Geo.
H. Nicholas, of West Amesbury, Mass, writes
TO the Pioughmdn.
Il saw you advised farmers in one of your
numbers last spring, to start their potatoes IN
horse manure. have followed it for seven
or eight years, and find it profitable in two
ways; firstly, you get clear Of the root; Sec
cndly, you get good price for your potatoes,
and your land is ready for crep of pickles
or turnips, Potatoes started in this way you
get three weeks earlier. A neighbor of ours
planted potatoes the fourth Of April He
came over to our house day or two after
aud said he should have potatoes in market
first Mine were then IN the hot bed, I be.
gan to take mine out of the hot bed on the
2sth of April, and finished planting the first

The Best Corn.

Mr. Editor-I would say that so far as my
knowledge extends, mixture of the Oregon
and Gourd seed, yields better crop than any
other kird ever SAW tried. The gourd- seed
is of a hard nature and weighs heavily, while
the Oregon is softer IL lighter. but measuring
more than enough over the varieties, to make
up the DEFICIENCIES in weight. BY making a
good mixture Of these two, we got kind a.
bout half way between them, which think is
much superior to either kind alone. 1t has
been four years since | adopted the above
plan, and fully believe can raise FIVE bush
els more to the acre than ever | could of the
gourd d-seed alone. If some Of our readers
would give it trial, think they would be
able TO communicate TO you accounts of hav-
ing raised larger crops of com than they can
at present
would also say little respecting early
plowng for corn. Thr later the ground is
left before broken up the better, as by so do
ing we get rid of much of the grass, which
would otherwise be in the corn, were We TO
plow earlier in the spring, or in the fall pre-
vous. One Of my neighbors a few years
since, plowed up his sod in the fall, and after
runneg over it with square harrow, he rolled
it. and left it thus, until spring, when he did
put double the work on it tina: the neighbors
did on theirs which was plowed later in the
spring. before he got it in order to plant biz
corn This corn required double the amoun
Of labor to tend it that it did the Others 1t wa
the most grassy piece of corn ever saw; a
one time it looked as If it would NOW goot
swath by harvest time, if left alone. neve
could see any difference between the injury
done by the worm on the piece, than on othe
pieces around il; | therefore come to the con
clusion that grass does not prevent the worn
from injuring the corn, at least, not as mucl
as it does to injury to it. When husking tim
came, the yield was not as good as had beeI
anticipated, and believe the experiment ha
fully satisfied him as to fall or early sprinl

Commissioners of Erie County VS.. ,Schoon-
er H. q. Merrick Error This was suit to
recover damages for injuries done to the
draw bridge across the Huron River, at HUI
ron, by running the vessel against it. The
Court held the bridge to be no obstruction 10
the navigation Of the river.-SanduSky Reg.
We have the most reliable information that
that Court decided no such thing The ques-
ton of obstruction to the navigation was not
made in the case, and therefore not decided.
We don't see what our neighbors expect to
gain by misrepresentng the Court on that
queston.-Fremom Journal
That's what we call swapping up people
rather short, neighbor. Since the Journal
Processes to have "reable information," which
as he would charitably make his readers be-
ieve, convicts us of "misrepresenting the
Court" we have to state, in se!f-defence, that
our report of the above, and other cases de-
termined by the District Court, was made out
from the notes of member of the Bar who
was present when the Court declared its de-
csions The high standing of that person as
a gentleman and an honorable man was, $50
we thought a sufficient guaranty that we and
our readers might rely upon his truthfulness
Several other gentlemen of the Bar, some oi
whom were counsel in the cause and present
when the Court delivered its opinion, sustain
the version given in the Register and further
state that the decision upon the point of sob
struction of navigation" was given at consider
able length and with much minuteness, by
Judge Starkweather.
Perhaps il the editor Of the Journal were
better acquainted with US, he would not be
quite SO ready to charge us with misrepresen
tation.
Will il comport with the Journals ideas o.
justice to retract?-Sandusky Register
Our Information, Mr.. Register, was deriv
ed from member of the Court which made
the decision, and, therefore we stated it to bC
the most reliable. 1t is no uncommon occur
renee, as you must know, for members Of the
Bar to mlsapprehend the decision of court
but it is an uncommon thing for a Court no
to apprehend its own decision; and hence
the Judges are, in the cause referred to, un
doubtedly the most reliable authority as tC
what the decision was. We are willing tC
corcede, Mr. Register. that you did not NEAR
to misrepresent 0R!fally, but we do insist up
on it, and will, until you shall have given Us
more light on the subject, that you did mis-
represent tie eoavi on that question
"Perhaps if the Editor of the" Sandusky
Commercial Register "were little better ac
quainted with us, he would nos be quite SC
ready to" ask us "to rttract"

Important RnIlroad Decision.

In the case Of SAMUEL WoRKs agaist the
Junction Rail Road Company and others
Judge McLEAE, this morning. granted an In
junction TO prevent said Company from bull
ding Bridge across the Sandusky Bay.
The Judge held that the Junction Railroad
Company was not authorized by its Charter
nor the amendments thereto, TO adopt the
route wich was selected, running across the
Bay, and that by building their bridge they
would enroach upon public nayigabe high
way.
The case was argued at Cincinnati by T.
EWING, GEo. E. PuaH, r p. BUcKLAND and
r. B. HAYES in favor of the injunction; and
by Judge LARE e. Son, Judge Andrews and
L.. ). BEEcHER againstit.
In the opinion delivered by Judge Mclean,
granting an injunction restraining the Junction
Rail Road Company from crossing The Sandus-
ky Bay, the learned Judge took occasion to
declare very explicitly his views Of the at
tempt which the Company has made to evade
the provisions Of its charter. He held that
the Company was bound to locate its road to
the Maumee River by the way Of Fremont
and that the present location was a palpable
violation of the plain provisions of its charter
The question now is whether the managers
of this Company will obey the law, or under
take to evade their charter by working under
the cover of some other act of incoporstion.-
We would suppose that the lesson taught them
en- recpntlv in the result of similar effort
made by the Mad River Company would de-
ter them from any such attempt.

WOman'S Love.

What is it that constitutes woman's love,
the pervading, governing principle of her soul
Why is it that woman's heart in its natural
and proper sphere, is the fountain of never
changing affection; "the we'll Of refreshment
in the desert; the rose that blooms unfading
under the sunshine of one beloved eye; the
voice that rises in continued strain of melo-
DIV, above the discord of the world; the bird
of beauty, whose faithful wing is never folded,
save in its own favored nest; the pure and
unsuied stream, offering sweetness and balm
on every bosom it meets but reserving the
full tide Of its gladness for one?" The NOR
al and social organs impart these holy impul-
ses. which nothing but defective education
and example can counteract

this manner by one or two applications when
they have been fairly alive with the vermin.
Such treatment is of especial advantage to
neglected maugy pigs in the spring of the
year. whether infested with vermin or not,

SroRM-Loss OF LIFE--RUsoR, 6,c.-One
Of the most terrific storms which it has been
our lot TO record, passed over this section of
our country on Friday night last Its effects
on the river were structive-causing fearful
loss of life and property. 1t is rumored here
that as couple of coal boats attempted to
land below town. they came together with
such violence, that both were sunk, and that
the entire crew OF one-amounting to eight
persons-and one Of the other, found watc-
ry grave. Some Of the survivors are now in
town, and truly do they tell melancholy sto-
ry. Il is also stated that some two or three
other boats, besides those mentioned above,
were sunk within mile or two of Wellsville
The Egyptian darkness of the night, and
the violence Of the storm, rendered it next to
an impossibility that single individual on
board the last mentioned boats could be sa-
we'd! For humanitys sake, we hope tire a.

The Dollar MARKS.

most likely to solve the difficulty. Here il is:

from an abreviation of representation Of the
pillars of Hercules, which are supposed TO be
represented upon the Spanish dollar Anoth-

those works This term, then, means nothing
more than dollar, or reals. When, there
fore, the dollar became generally used, the
figure was prefiSed to express dollars, and
IN the process Of time the has been changed
to the present mark 1t has been asserted,
but know not whether correctly or not, that
