The slang phrase ''not red cent"
must shortly become obsolete, for the new
cent is as white as silver 1t is made
chiefly from nickel, and is about equal in
circumference and weight to a two dollar
and half gold piece and is thicker than
that coin. 1t bears on its face fiyinp
eagle, with the date of its issue, and on
its diverse wreath of maize encirclinp
the words. 'One Cent" It has no ring,
and is great improvement on the pres
ent coin.

Thursday, 5: February 10, 1857
ROWDYISN.

A disgraceful row took place in our
streets on Tuesday afternoon, originating
in the antics of vicious looking individ
ual on horseback, who, in the exercise OF
the "largest liberty" probably quick
ened into activity by few potations of
the extract of corn-commenced abusing
several persons with whom he came in
contact, and for which he afterwards re-
ceived severe pummeling.
These street rows have become quite
too common in our village Of late. 1t is
time they were put stop to. Such row.
dyism is disgraceful to our town. What
opinion would a stranger naturally form
of the morals of our place, who should
chance to be here, and witness such dis
graceful exhibitions of rowdyism as that
which occurred on Tuesday, right in the
center of town? Would he be likely to
60 away and make favorable report OF
the n orality of Upper Sandusky? The
good name Of our town is something
which every citizen is interested in pre-
serving. 1t is easy to imagine what sort
of a reputation we shall have abroad, il
the lawless spirit that is rife in our midst,
is permitted to go on unchecked while
longer. We have laws to punish those
who wantonly engage in these street
brawls-laws which the violators of de-
cency, morality and public order should
be made to feel-and if those whose duty
it is to execute the laws are indisposed
to do SO, they should resign and give
place to more faithful public servants.
These disorderly proceedings may ap
pear to some of too little consequence t.
demand grave consideration. But what
we would ask, is the tendency of sucl
things, and what the effect, especial,
upon the youth of our place? Let en-
of these affrays occur in any part of th
village, and we see the youthful part @
community the first to assemble at th
scene OF action, anxious spectators of tn
combat, their minds becoming familiarize
with the most horrid oaths and obscen
expressions. What parent can contem
plate such a state Of things, without re
solving to lend helping hand toward
staying the progress Of the evil ? Let u
rerember that vice and crime general
have small beginnings-that the mo.
revolving deeds that have ever staine
the criminal calendar, have had their or
gin in trifing causes. Let US check th
evil while we may for as sure as effet
follows cause, if permitted to 60 on,
will eventuate in fruitful harvest of wo
and crime.
We make these remarks in no invidiou
spirit. nor with any design to refee
upon the conduct of particular individr
ais. They are of general application
We feel it to be our duty to thus brin
the subject plainly before our citizens
. Every one, we think, will acknowlede L
= that, for few months past, rowdyisn
has enjoyed too great a license in o,
i" midst. The question is, shall things
permitted to 60 on thus in the future?

TO Stop Potatoes ROtting.

An experienced agriculturist informs
us that about six years ago he applied
lime to potatoes that Immediately arrested
the decay. Potatoes that were partly
rotten when the lime was applied, contin-
'ued to rot andwere lost. Since then he
has made it common practice to apply
slaked lime to his potatoes as he takes
them up. He puts a thin layer of lime
upon the floor where the potatoes are to
be laid. and sprinkles some of it oyer the
potatoes about every ten inches,s AS they.
are put down. He considers this as per-
fectly protecting them from rotting, and
he has never had rotten potatoe since
he has practioed it; and he believes also
that potatoes thus used are rendered bet
ter by the action of time. We advise the
farmers to try this plan, as it can easily
be done by them all. a II 4.3isat

Use of Salt in Cooking veseta-

Here is something everybody ough
to have known long ago. and that every
body should now read and remelnber:-
RIfsone portion of vegetables be boiled in
pure distilled Or rain. water, and another
in water in which little salt has been
added, a decided difference is peerceptble
in the tenderness of the too. Vegetables
Hboiled ~ pure water reavastly inferior.
This interiority inaysgo SO far in the case
ofonions that theyare almost entirely desti-
/ tute of either taste or color, though'when
cooked in salt water, in addition to the
pleasant salt taste, they possess a peculiar
sweetness and a strong aroma. They
also contain more soluble matter than
when cooked in pure water. Water which
contains l-42Oth of its weight of salt, is
far better for cooking vegetables than
pure water, bvcause the salt hinders the
solutions Of the fiavoring principles of the
vegetables. Scientific American.
