POTATOES.

From the Iclield Enquirer Aup g.
We were shown yesterday by a gentleman

worm was still at work it was about an inr,

of the stak-leavins its vounc, many Ct
which could be seen, to multiply bv the hun
dred. The vines in one particula. spot oniy
were found infested in this manner, but there
is no doubt bu, that the plague odd rapidly

In some parts of the State we learn the
rank growth OF the crop la, developed l,,.it
chiefly in the vines, which are luxuriant be-
