Irish Potatoes.

Mn. EprroR: observed in the last
number an article on raising and keep
ing Irish potatoes. | last year raised
a line crop pretty much on Mr.. Mitch-
ellis plan, and kept them perfectly
sound through winter. Planted this
spring Of my own raising. Mode to
keep them: Dig the putatoes as soon
as they are matured-Idon't care il in
August. 1t is not so much the hot
weather that Injuries them, but remain
ing too long in the ground they become
watery. After they are dug, place
them on dry sand, in house Sufficient.
" aired and when dry, (which will be
in Dcsember,l put them in bills, as we
do the sweet potato-and | warrant he
who tries it, will ever after do it.
When drying they should be noticed,
and those decaying should be instantly
removed, for the disease is certainly
infectious, as you can rot sound po-
tato BY putting one touching it that is
decayed. Respectfully,
w. s. HILL.
n. B.--i am from Virginia, and grew
pasatoes there, and can safely say the
above method of keeping preserves
them better, and they actually keep
better here than there. w. S. IL.

HoLLowAY's NEWS RooM.-The following is
an extract of letter received by Prof. Hol-
loway from Thomas lie Gall, ESQ, Editor and
Proprietor Of the & Thursday Royal Gazette, y
dated at the Island of ST. Vincents, W. l., 24th
March, 1854.
:" To Professor Holloway-Dear Sir:-''With-
out intending any unmeaning compliment, can
assure you that your News Room will be of vast
Importance to the West India Colonies, and
lead to results of which you had no conception
when you established it, The state Of these
Colonies was, and still is, but imperfectly
known in the Mother Country, the most absurd
things are circulated respecting Society here
and nothing is talked of but the oppression Of
the blacks, whereas they are the only class that
are prospecting. The planters or owners of
estates, are all on the brink Of ruin: many
estates are about to be abandoned, even in this
Island, which is unauestionably one of the most
fertile and healthy Of all the British Settle
ments, and this is entirely owing to the mis-
government of the Home Authorities, and to the
false statements that continually appear in the
English papers. Now, I believe nay, | am
sure, that your News Room will be the means
of disabusing the public mind, because the Col
onial newspapers filed there will be more gen.
orally received, and consequently the subject
better understood, and auguT that your News
Room will be as celebrated as your Medicines, y
I remain, Dear Sir, your faithful and obliged
Servant, THOMAS LIE GALL.

FAnMERs.-An exchange thus dscourscs on
farmers:
Adam WAS farmer while vet in Paradise
and after his fall, commanded to earn his bread
by the sweat Of his brow. Job, the honest
upright and patient, was farmer and his en-
durance has passed into a proverb. Socrates
was a farmer, and welded to his calling the
glory of his immortal philosophy. St. Luke
was farmer, and divides with Prometheus the
honor of subjecting the OK to the use of man.
Cincinnatus was farmer, and noblest Roman
Of them all. Burns was farmer, and the muse
found him at the pillow and filled his soul with
poetry. Washington was q farmer, and retired
from the highest earthly station to enjoy the
quiet Of rural life, and presented to the world
spectacle of human greatness. To these may
be added a host of others who sought peace and
repose in the cultivation of their mother earth !;
the enthusiastic Lafayette, and the steadfast
Pickering, the scholastic Jefferson, aud the fiery
Randolph, all found an Ell Dorado of consolation
from LIES cares and troubles, in the green and
yerdant lawns that surrounded their homesteads.

/ GHApHAL1c PAPER.--It is said that the ex-
pertinent to make paper out Of an American
plant called "White- top" or q Immortelle,"
has been successful. The botanical name is
Gnaphaluno, and the paper is therefore called
s.Gnaphalic paper" The plant is very abundant
in Canada. The paper is glossy, smooth, and
thin, and evidently much stronger than that
kind IN the manufacture Of, which cotton is so
largely used. The stalk as well as the flower
Of the plant may be employed, but from the
white silky flowers alone finer and winter ar
ticie can Of course be produced. The manu-
facturers assert that, without taking into con-
sideraton the difference Of the cost Of materials,
paper may be made from this plant at 121 per
cent, less than rags. The adhesive qualities Of
the plant are such that in the manufacture Of
the paper no animal matter need be used, as
good surface can be obtained without sizing

GREEN Contour friend Fl. Fleming, of
Flemingdale, Terrebonne, has our thanks fol. a
lot of roasting ears and turnips, the productions
Of his model farm. It may sound strange to
our northern friends to hear talk of green corn
on the 18th Of November, but we can assure
them that this is no joke.

FRosT AND IcE.--We were visited by severe
frost, and ice nearly a quarter Of an inch in
thickness on Monday and Tuesday mornings,
last. Up to Sunday night last, this whole
extent of country presented more the aspect Of
mid summer than that Of. the last month of
FALL. But now, how changed the somewhere
green, the most enlivening and widely dfnsed
Of natures hues, predominated, :. scar and
yellow leafa has usurped supremacy The
cane fields have lost their lively green and now
present more the appearance Of those Of corn in
August than anything else to which we could
compare them. 1t is q matter of great doubt
among many whether or not the recent cold
days have not materially injured the cane.
Sickness it is almost needless to say-especially
yollow jack-has entirely left US. We have
heard of no new cases since our last publication
except one in the country. The air is now
pure and healthful, and the indications are that
we shall hear nothing further from the yellow
fever this season. Our country friends may
now visit town in perfect safety.
