1t is said that spirituaIism has given rise

fact certain, ignorant old women, have no
fear Of public censure, in putting out their
signs of fortune telling, which under news

has been thrown of, from the daily press
without puff, for some poisonous humbug

The Deacon and the Irishman.

Under this head we find the following ANU
sing story going the rounds: -
A few months ago as Deacon Ingalls,, of
Swampscott, r. l., was travelling through the
western part the State of New York he fell
in with an Irishman who had lately arrived in
this country, and who was in quest of broth
er who came before him and settled in some of
the diggins in that vicinity.
Pat was a strong athletic man, q true Catho-
8ic, and had never seen the interior ola Prot
estant Church. 1t was pleasant Sabbath
morning that brother Ingalls, met Pat, who
inquired the road to the nearest church
ingalls, was good and pious man. He
told Pat he was going to church himself and
invited his new made acquaintance to keep
him company thither, (his placeSof destination
by. There was great revival there at the
time, and one of the deacons (who, by the
way, was very small in stature, invited broth
er Ingalls, to take a seat in his pew. He accept
ed the invitation, and walked in, followed by
Pat who looked in vain to find the altar, &c.
After he was seated, he turned to brother In
gals, and in whisper which could be heard
all around, inquired:
"Sure an isn't this hiritic church,"
Hush" said Ingalls,, 'if you speak word
they will put you out"
"Divil word will 1 speak at all, at ALL"
replied Pat.
The meeting was opened with prayer by the
pastor. Pat was cycling him very closely, when
an old gentleman, who was standing in the
pew directly in front of Pat, shouted glory"
"Hist ye divil," rejoined Pat with his loud
whisper, which was plainly heard by the min
lister, ''be dacent, and don't make blakguard
of yourself"
The parson grew more and more more fer
vent in his devotions. Presently the deacon
uttered an audible groan. ''Hist. ye black
guard have you no dacency at all, at alp said
Pat, at the same moment giving the deacon a
punch in the ribs, which caused him nearly
TO lose his equilibrium. The minister stopped,
and extending his hand in supplicating man
ner said
Brethren, we cannot be disturbed in this
way. Will some one put that man out?
"Yes, your rvirince,'' shouted Pat, IL WILL
and suiting the action to the word, he collarod
the deacon, and to the utter horror and as
tonshment of the pastor, brother ingalls,, and
the whole congregation, he dragged him
through the aisle, and with a tremende9S Kick
he landed him in the vestibule of the church.

PorAToEs--BUTT ENDS VS.. SEED ~ENDs-
John Brown, of Long lslagds communicates
the following to the Granite Farmer Several
years ago | made some experiments to satisfy
myself concerning the disputed point as TO
which is the best portion of potato to plant in
order to obtain the largest AMI best yield
The exact result has been lost, and as l La7c
often since heard and read assertions directly
CONTRARY to the conclusions which | then de-
duced, | resolved to repeat the experiments.
Last spring planted four rows of equal length
side by side, with two varieties of potatoes
In one row planted none but seed ends, So
Icalled including about one-third of the pota-
toes, and in the next row planted the butt
ends of the same potatoes: | had one row Of
seed ends and one row of butt-ends of varie-
lty called Peach Blows The yield Of these
four rows was as follows:
Pink eyes, butt ends, 217 pounds
Do seed ends, 10 do
Peach blows, butt ends, 225 do
Do seed ends, l79 do.
/ The potatoes raised from the butt ends were
much larger than those from the seed ends,
and appeared to be from week to ten days
earlier This result corresponds with that of
my former experiment. Had the whole field
been planted with butt ends, the yield would
have been more than 500 bushels to the acre
also planted two rows next tothe above, in
one of which put only large potatoes, haIfa
tuter in each hill, cut 1engthwise so as to di-
vide the eyes equally, and in the other row l
dropped only small potatoes, one in each hill
From the former dug l81 pounds. and from
the latter 134 pounds. l should add that the
average yield Of the field was about $50 pounds
to the row; aud that large (not the very larg-
est) potatoes were used for seed cut length
wise with halfof tuber in each hilf''
