OF laughing) go to the Varieties tonight.

FALL POTATOES. Keep these clean rom
grass and weeds. If you have not already
done so, give them a top dressing Of a mixture
comprised at the rate per acre, Of bushels
of unlcachcd ashes, | buslel Of salt, and
hushe Of plaster. We do not recommend
this application with the view Of Finding IN it
n specific or preventive against the rot for
we have but little faith in nosirums: but for
the more rational purpose Of supplying the
potatoes with elements which we consider
essential to their healthful growth, and which
are always found by every well conducted
analysis, in their tubcrs and tops; and hence
we infer that it is always the part of pr,,-
dence TO supply them, lest they may be
absent from the soil. and as consequence
that tho plants would suffer for want of
them; for VIC take it to be n legitimate
deduction from the premises, that, If the
substances named were not essential to the
growth and maturation of the potato, their
presence would not lie so invariably found in
their ashes when submitted to the tests of
analysis. -, B.. " ~ sE-E

believed he intended committing suicide. 1t
is the conviction of his widow that for some
time he purposed killing her and then dis
troying himself. The blood of this man
