The Central Park Commission, in answer to re-
quest, state that their Report will be ready about

Small Potatoes for Seed.

Mr.. c. 7. Alyord, Of WilImig gton, Yer
mont, says
"Solne eight years since at the time o
planting my potatoes, l came short Of seed
to plant. Previous to this time [ had used
large whole potatoes, or the seed ends cut
Of. for seed, and supposed tha: no ether
would answer. / resolved to try the ex'
pertinent Of planting small potatoes, the lar.
gest being about the size OF common plums
but the most of them being smaller
carried several bushels Of these little things
to the field and commenced planting them,
putting from tro 10 four in hill.
"The potatoes in the different parts of the
field came up at the same time, but the
ynes from the small potatoes were not as
large and as thrifty as those from the large
oncs. At the first hoeing there was some
difference in the tops, bat after that the
tops from the small potatoes looked as well
as any in the field, AMI continued SO through
The season. When l came to dig them
found the potatoes, where the small seed
was planted, to be as good, in every respect
ss those where the large potatoes we're plan
led. There were ss many in hill and the
potatoes we're as large, and with SIS few
small qaes, as those fFoaa the large seed.
MANY Of the farmers in this vicinity al,
ter seei.g the experiment fairly tried, are
using small potatoes for seed who inform
ME that the farmers whom they purchase
from are generally adopting the way o
using small potatoes for seed Country

-:O;---
dreamed dresm in the midst of my Elumbers,
And as fast as dreamed it was coined into numbers;
1t sppesred that law had lstey been made,
Thata tax on old bachelors, pa tes should be laiI;
And in order 20 make them all willing to marry,
The tax was as heavy as man could well carry.
But the bachelors grumbied, and said twas no use,
Twas mOnStroug injustice and hOrrid abuse,
And swore that 70 save their own hearts blood from
spiIliag,
On such vie tax they could ne'er pay shilling;
But the rulers determined their seal to pursue,
So they set all the bachelors up a! yendue.
A crier was sent through the town, to and fro,
To rattle his drum and his rumpet to blow,
And to cry cut to all that he me; In his way
nHo. forty old bach, lors sold here to day"
And presently all the old maids in the town,
Each in her bsst bonnet and gown,
From thirty to yikty, whits, red, fair and pale,
OF every description, all focked to the sale.
The uuctioneer then with hia abors began,
And rried ont aloul as he held up man,
Kew much for bachelor! who wants to buyl"
And the chorus Of maidens responded, II, II
And, in short, at 4 very extravagant price,
The bachelors all were sold of in triee.
And forty glad madens, some younger, some older
Each Iuggod an old bachelor home on her shoulder.
