SOCinI Negro ENunlifY.

The statement published in the En-
.Qnirer few days since, taken from a
Boston paper, that the marriage H.
ccnse recorded shows that within the
past year sixty negro men had been
married to white women in that city,
indicates the progress which the doc
trine Of negro equality IS making in N.
England, which has long been the
Republican headquarters. AS sure
as Gay is succeeded by night do the
principles of Black -Republcanism
lead ia social amalgamation and inter
marriage between the white and black
races. The AbolitionisC feels he is not
consistent until the political enfran-
chisement Of the negro is followed by
his social elevation. The negro has
been so eulogized and deified in Bos-
ton and its vicinity that it is no won.
der that many women, considering
him superior to the white, prefer him
for a husband. They adopt practically
the teachings of Parker, Garrison,
Phillips Banks, Wilson and other Alb
olitionists!-Cin. Eng.

The carriage stopped at the door,
and, in 8 few minutes, Margaret lIaIe
entered the apartment, where her bus
band sat, wholly absorbed in poriBg
over day.bookS and ledgers. M
"These tiresome accounts still" she
exclaimed. "Willyou ever find time

tone was unheeded, as she continued:
'sWe had such q charming evening

many interesting incidents ofhis res

famous young poet, read Maud . and
some of'the most beautiful passages

Thoughts on Duty"
She went hastily to her chamber for
the volume. When she returned, her
quiet entrance was unheard by her
husband, whose pen was rapidly NOV

of figures. With an expression OF
impatience, almost of scOrn, resting
On her face, she hastily turned away.
"And this is the end of all my
dreams of marriage" she said, as she
reachel her room.

have sacrificed every earthly good for
her happiness.
A sudden and severe sickness came
to her, while Ralph was in a distant

her in infancy, was sitting by her side,

view the grounds presented by pris?

points made by the prisoners counsel
in which the Judge recapitulated the
strong points Of evidence against the
prisoner and considered the weight of
new testimony in favor of Morgan as
presented by his couns el in Gpplica-

motion.
The Judge then asked the counsel
for the defence if they had anything
further to offer. Mr.. McCauslin sta,
ted that they took exceptions to the
overruiing of the Court, and would
apply to the Supreme Court for a writ
Of error. To morrow at 8 o'clock was
agreed upon for presenting a bill of

The Judge then told the prisoner to
standup: Morgan arose, and upon be-

po,oto planning.

Since our earliest recollection VIC have
been taught, that the surest remedy against
failure in producing good potatoes was un-
derdraining, planting in good season and
careful tending. In undrained land, which
is liable to hold surface water we would
plant in shallow furrows and hill up well.---
Some object to this method; but we have
Rlwaps practiscd it. aud shall next season
practice il again. We insist that stagnaut
water is one Of the greatest enemies Of the
potato. Let the ground be dry, or, if nat
urally wet, make it dry, and the rot, we be-
lieve, viii disappear. We have letter
from one of our subscribers, which may
stir up others to write on the subjects:
BARRINaToN, Ill, Jan. 2s,-One of your
correspondents--Mr Miller, of Greencastlr,
Indiana, ridicules us Iilinoians because we
donot use hoes in potato raising. Last
year gathered over 1900 bushels from
less than five acres. took piece of
ground which was plowed in the fall of 1856,
in the spring gave it narrowing, and then
plowed and narrowed il again. With n
shovel plow / marked rows two and half
feet apart, dropped the seed tho same dis
tance apart, and covered it with tho same
plow. Just as they were coming up,
smoothed the ground with harrow.
When they were six or ten inches high, |
took a double shovel plow, which was made
10 run clear Of the hills on each side, and
plowed once in each row, each way. When
they were high enough to hill up, ran a
single shovel plow once each way in each
row. l then took board twenty-five inches
long and six inches wide, fastened it to the
standard of my plow, just above the shovel,
and went through the potatoes, once in each
row both ways. l then carefully pulled out
all weeds and grass which could DO seen,
aud my work was done, without using a hoe.
