On the occasion to which we refer,
there was at once sent up to the desk
quite pile of little slips Of paper,
with the name in whose behalf he was

stalwart man of six feet and half II

and confirmed wag to boot, rose II

and smiles of the auditory, said:
"Mr. Buckhard, want you to pra.

Potato Seed.

A quantity of potato seed has
lately been procured, by the agricnl'
tural branch, Of the Patent Office,
from Germany, with the Wow OF ex-
perimenting in the United States
with different varieties Of This 80 i'm
portant agricultural staple.
A curious fact, not generally
known, connected with the produc'
tion of potatoes from the seed balls
il, that no two stems will produce
precisely the same qualities, yet
many of the tubers will appear so
much alike that when mixed they
cannot be distinguished by the eye,
though it may happen that one va.
riety will be four times as prolific as
the other; or may be much better in
other respects. The tubers raised
from the seeds Of the same balls are
also prodigiously diversified in regard
to color, being black, red, white,
green, yellow, pink, etc.; and as to
shapa, are round, nebbed and varied
in all proportions; as TO size, some o.
them being no larger the first yeal
than peas, while others exceed the
size of pullets' eggs; as to the Gear
liness," some Of them completing
their growth in July, while Others
will not put forth their blossoms until
October; as to produetiveness. some
yield more than two hundred to one
while others will give back only three
or four fold; as to spreading under
ground, some running out 70 great
distance, others growing quite neal
10 the stem, some descending deep
into the earth, while others will rise
to the surface; as to quality, some
being tough and watery, some dry
and mealy, some very pleasing to
the taste, while others will not be AT
all palatable; as to stems, some will
carry a single stalk rod, others an
immense profusion of them, some
being very luxurious, others extreme
ly dwarfish. In short, as is very re
markable, no sort of connection viii
be found to exist between any OF the
peouliarities of the two specimens
