POTATO CULTURE.

A friend sends us the following, as what he
believes the best means yet known for avoid
ing the potatoe disease :
l. Be content with medium CROP, say 100
to $50 bushels to the acre, selecting land but
moderately rich, and using no stimulating
manure. The land should be a lightish loan,
easily permeablv by water; and it would be
we'll if it had been treated with no stimulant,
heterogeneous manure, the proceeding year.
q Let the land be brought into fine filth
by means Of the plough and harrow, to the
depth of five or six inches, as early as may
be in the spring. Furrow both ways, at a
distance of three feet, letting the plough in
cline to the mold-board side, so as to give a
broad, shallow furrow of about three inches
deep. .a..
3. As manure for one acre, take so bush
els of charcoal dust, or, if this is not at hand
80 bushels Of dry, well cured peat, or, If nell
Their of these is conveniently to be had, o0
bushels of turf, piled up the summer previous
and rotted down to fine powder, with lit
tie lime; bushels of oyster shell lime, Or
Or common Stacked lime, or leached ashes,
whichever can be obtained with the least trou-
BILE; bushels of plaster, l bushel OF bone
dust, and bushel of common salt; Mix the
whole thoroughly together, and throw it into
the crossings little less than pint into each,
in that careless sort of way which will cause
it to spread itself over at least square foot.
4. For seed, select sound potatoes Of medl.
UNI size or a little less and plant one in hill
and never more than one, if it be ever so
small, without cutting. Plant as early as can
be done with safety to the crop from spring
frosts. Should the weather be wet after
planting, shallow covering would be best. II
it should be dry, deep covering would be
more favorable. 1t would be perhaps the
safest, over such manure as | have prescribed,
to cover the seed nearly three inches deep,
which would bring the top Of the hill just
about even with the average level of the
field.
5. For the first hoeing, the harrow or cul-
tivator might be run through both ways. and
the plants should be weeded, but not hilIed or
at most but very little. Let the whole sur
face Of the field be left very nearly level.
6. For the second hoeing, which should be
very soon after the first, before the tops begin
to leaf similar course might be followed ,ex-
cept that broad. or rather low hills should be
formed.
An acre so planted would have 4, $40 hills
which would give, at only one quart to the
hill, 15l bushels, worth, at so cents the bush.
ell, $780,; at 40 cents, $70,40; at 30 cents
$3.50; at 20 cents. 5000, in which last
case, it would hardly be paying crop, but
would give profit, less or more, in each Of
the other cases. Country Gentleman.

A LIVE NoBLEMAN.-Weh heard an amusing
story told us concerning the last arrival ofthe
Mexico at Galveston. 1t appears that among
the list of passengers on the manifest the name
of the Earl of Durham was legibly recor-
ded. The news quickly spread, and was
promptly communicated to the English Con-
sui, who, in the generosity of his nature, at
once engaged two rooms for his distinguished
countryman at the fremont, and then pro-
ceeded with carriage to the steamer to con-
vey him to his quarters, when one gran
mistake" was discovered. The Earl of Dur
ham on the Mexico proved to be a large Dur
ham Bull from kentucky! The Consul was
doing we'll at last accounts.

FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF 4
FA MILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long. existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand and an extern
sive trial Of its virtues has concusivey shown with
what success it accompliShes the purpose designed
1t is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, Of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit tn
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto. that almost every purgatiye
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulsion in the system to more
than scunterbalnnce the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm arise from their use in any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are ap-
plicable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
Of Jaundice Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Ap-
petite, Listlessness, Irrtablity Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever aid Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins; for in truth, all these are but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperent they afford prompt and sure relief in Co.'S
tiveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
and every case where purgative is required.
They have also produced some sngularly sue
sessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, DroPsy, Gravel,
Erysipeas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year. to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change Of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action and restores the appe-
tite and vigor They purify the blood and by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physc is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of a
cathartic medicine. .

How THE FRESHMAN SAVED HIS Doc. The
Cambridge Chronicle tells good story of an
Irishman, at Somerville, who found piece of
poisoned meat in his yard, evidently intended
for his dog. To save the poor beast from de-
struction Pat threw the meat into the swill
pail. The consequence was, of course, the
death of his hog, of which the poor fellow
had not thought.

There Ia no God when everywhere,
In each created thing, We see III rrrl
A likeness Of the Deity'
How can he say that this drear life,
Replets with SO much care and strife,
Is all the life to mortals given,
And when it's Ger there is no heaven'
There Ia God we feel each hour
His wondrous, alternating power;
God who rules both wise and just
Giver Of life to earthly dust.

The workings Of His potency
The snow-capt mountains rising high,
As II the tempest to defy
The ocean pillows in their foam
The stars that deck the clear blue dome
The little ril that bounds along,
Aecordant with the warbler's song
The mighty waters as they leap
Down from the acme of some steep
These, these in their sublimity,
Are but the varied Deity
We hear His whisperings in the breeze
That rustes through the leafy trees
We hear them in the wintry blast,
That cold and chill goes sweeping past.
We know His awful presence nigh,
When thunders roll along the sky;
And when the vivid lightnings glare,
We Gee the 0mnrresent there.
Each one who seeks life above,
Receives the wise Creators love.
Each sinner feels His chast'ning rod
Then tell me not there Is no God.

THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its cures Of every variety Of pulmonary disease
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the ev
dences of its virtues in any community where IL
has been employed So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and so numerous the cases Of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known. who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine Of its kind is too appar
ent to escape observation, and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antdote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous affee-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the mider varieties
of COLDS, CoUGHs, HoARsENEss, &c.; and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasantcst and safest medicine
that can be obtained.

comments The abstainers are suspected Of being
Know Nothings-and forebore to take part, in order
to avoid any committal. lnnumerable surmises and
rumors aioat respecting this mysterious order
Some say they already number in the county full 900,
and are daily increasing. The names Of some Of the
most influential Democrats arc mentioned belong
ing to the Order. Even the worthy Chairman, and
the old wheel horse himself are suspected of know.
ing something and that the Chairman's saddle-bags
arc much fuller Of certificates Of membership for
"Know Nothings" than Of phials and pills But this
a'persion enabled tho authority Of several
letters to pronounce fouy calumnous sunless indeed
(says letter. it be part Of the policy of this mys-
FERROUS association for its leading members to de-
nounce all its own objects. Ii was busily whispered
about the court green, that an honorary member

which would privilege him to share all the honors,
without bearing any Of the burdens Of the Society.
This report believe to be as false and malicious as
the other"
The same letter informs us, that there are five or
six aspirants in Buckingham alone for Gov. Joe's
slippers and that they were merely knocking Wise
and Leake's heads together in the hope OF giving
themselves better chance. It didn't suit the policy
Of any Of them to pledge the vote Of the county, and
therefore, after making great show Of friendship
for Wise. by proposing to nominate him in coniunc
ton with their distinguished eountyman, Bocock,
they very adroty seized 1.-THE opportunity of killing
two birds with stone, and rejected the resolution
which recommended Wise and Bocock!
One would think that so deepa game that must
have originated in the brain Of some dark, intriguing
conclave-and it goes farther than anything have
heard to countenance the mputations of Know
Nothingism so freely scattered through the land
Well, all that we have to say is that il this secrets
