PorAro RoT.-We notice in our ex-
changes throughout the country that the
Potato Rot is beginning to prevail. The
editor of the Greensburg (Pa.) Herald says
that Potatoes ought to be dug nosU in Or
der to prevent the rot. 1t says:
"If left in the ground now till the time
at which they are generally lifted, rot will
most likely ensue. To save them, then,
adopt the following course:
Whenever the tops show any sign OF
whitening or turning yellow it is an evi-
dence that the healthy growth of the pota-
to is about at an end. Select day and
raise your potatoes-leaving them lie on
the top of the ground, exposed to the sun
long enough to dry off and free themselves
from particles of earth; then take and
house them in dry, moderately cool, and
dark place till the weather will require them
to be buried, or put into the cellar

The Chilicothe Failures.

The failure Of Mr.. A. Fraser, the great
starch and whisky manufacturer in Chilli
cothe, is serious one. Mr.. Z. assigned to
Mr.. Enos Prather, of Bonneville, who had
endorsed his paper to large amount
The Gazette states that Mr.. F. has been
employing an immense capital, and his liza
bilities are reported to be over half a mil
lion of dollars. The excess of liabilities
over assets will hardly be less than $780,
600.
The excitement was further increased by
the assignment of the Mr.. Prather, one of
the heaviest land owners in the Scioto Val
ley, who had an almost unlimited credit.
His liabilities, exclusive of his endorsements
for Fraser, the Gazette puts at about $780,
600 above his assets. 1t says "the whole
affair is a very unfortunate one, and will
seriously affect some ofthe best and most
substantial citizens of this and neighbcr.ng
counties" and adds:
By the suspension of Mr.. Fraser's works
hundreds of poor latorers, who, depended
upon their daily labor for the support of
themselves and families, arc thrown out of
employment. About two hundred of those,
to whom Mr.. Fraser is indebted, have taken
possession of the establishment to-day, and
express themselves determined 10 fight to
the last, rather than see single article taken
away until they are paid. We understood
that sn arrangement was being made to pay
them off this afternoon, but whether it was
done we have not learned at the time this
is written.

A Big Days Harvesting.

One day last week, Michael Cramer, OF
Mercersburg, Franklin county, Pa, cut in
ten consecutive hours, ten acres Of wheat
in thoroughly workmanlike manner. 1t
turned ont two hundred and ffty-two
shocks or three thousand and twenty -four
sheaves-being nearly three hundred and
three sheaves per hour, and over five per
minuet during the whole time of cutting.
This is, perhaps, the most extraordinary
,cradling ever done in this country. In
amount it is considerably beyond the aver.
age of reaping machines. At the close Of
the performance, Mr.. Cramer did not ap.
pear to be much fatigued, and expressed
his ability and READINGS to undertake The
cutting Of an adjoining lot of seven acres
on the following day.

SoRGHo SUcsE.-The Manchester. n.
H., American SAYS that the Chinese sugar
Cane, small patches of which have been
planted all through the State, proves to be
an entire failure so far rs regards the pro
duction of sugar. In size it compares IA
worldly with Idian corn, and will probably
be su perb fodder for fall and winter use
The season has been unfavorbly by its un-
usually cool temperate. This statement
will probably apply to oall New England. =
Farther south, however, better success has
attended its cultivation.
EMERSON ETER1DGE.-Late NJ. C. from
Tennessee has been run out by barely 157
majority of a poll Of some 10000 votes.-
He was an able, honest independent mem
Der, and lost his seat by 5oting against the
Nebraska Bill. Of the Southern members
who voted against that bill, not one will
serve in the next House. Col. Benton,
Louisiana, Hurt, Tennessee Cullom, DC,
and the rest, with Gen. Houston, have now
followed them.
DR.. Johnson. at Lord Mayors dinner,
committed the scandalous impropriety of
talking wit and wisdom to an alderman by
his side, who desired to concentrate his
whole energies on the turtle. "Sir," said
the alderman, in tone and with look
of awful rebuke, Sin attempting to listen to
your long sentences and give you short
answer, | have swallowed two pieces Of
green fat without tasting the flavor. l beg
you TO let Inc enjoy my present happiness
in peace"
P. T. BARNUM.-This gentleman is now
on a visit to this city from London. We
are told that having perfected the evidence
necessary for him TO obtain the benefit of
the English bankruptcy law, he will return
to England in the Arabia, on the I'd of
September. He joins his family, now in
London, where he intends henceforth reside.
He will, probably, never pay another visit
to his native land.-N 7. Times.
FIournoy of Virginia said in the south
ern commercial convention that "he hated
the North for stealing the negroes of the
South, and then for lying about it after
wards; and he hated everybody that did
not hate them" Such comprehensive
spite has not been displayed since Mis-,
Squeers of Dotheboy's hall declared she
SLATED everybody" "-Springfeld Repu6

SILLy-The Philadelphia Press tells a
silly story, derived from a Texan, about
Senator Rusk committing suicide because
Houston voted against the Nebraska bill.
1t saws:
at is said, that while occupying bis seat
in the Senate, during the pendency of the
debate on the Kansas Nebraska bill, he had
made an agreement with his colleague,
General Sam Houston, by which it was
agreed that both Houston and himself
should vote for the bill. Notwithstanding
this positive agreement Gen. Houston vo-
ted AGAINST the bill.
In the recent gubernatorial contest in
Texas, General Houston being the opposi-
ton candidate, both political parties COM
menced questioning General Rusk SO close
ly that he felt it was impossible longer to
resist the public exposure of Gen. Houston.
For many years General Houston had been
his friend and companion--his old comrade
in arms during the bitter trials of the war
of Indipendeace-they had served togeth-
er in the United States Senate and he be-
came haunted with the idea that to live
longer would occasion him. dishonor. He
became the victim to the impression that,
under the circumstances, his death was a
measure of overruling necessity
This is so supremely childish that we
marvel to find it in such paper as the
Press.
