D9rThe IMAonian says, awe hear
good deal of complaint Of the potato rot
among our farmers" That's sad thing
to get "amOng the farmers" bad enough
when it is confined to the potatoes. We
have heard there is some rot among the
potatoes on this side of the river, especially
among those potatoes not "raised' until
after the equinoctial storm. Considerable
Clover Seed was injured by the same storm.
1G-The Governor has pardoned young
Divine, imprisoned for larceny in Lewis

the case was one suited to the exercise of
the Governors clemency; and We trust
the lad will get into some employment
which will remove him from temptation.

Domestic Instructions

Are among the most appalling calamities
that. befal any community. When "a
mans foes are those Of his own household"
it is truly awful. Hence it is, that where
ever Slavery exists, the people are always
reposlng as upon volcano-iu constant
dread-and occasional outbreaks are most
alarming and bloody. The history of
Southern States, for $50 years, is full of
these plots aud outbursts of bondmen. Nat
Turner was but specimen of many.
Our history also reveals many instances
OF insurrection among the whites, in the
Revolution, and since-of which Shay's
Rebellion, the Whiskey Insurrection, and
Mobilization, are prominent
The fool-hardy operation at Harpe,'s
Ferry-commenced on Sunday evening
last, aud promptly suppressed within forty
eight hOurs-was doubtless the conception
of madman. In our paper, six months
ago, We gave, as general opinion, that
tbe murder Of his son, AID other personal
sutferlugs, unpunished, in Kansas, had
made OLD BRowN q mouomaniac-as
much SO as our Capt. BRADY, and other
sufferers from savages, who would kill any
Indian they could dud, to their last day
and if the leader at Ilarper's Ferry be
Old Brown, his conduc, justifes ,ha, oPiu-
ion. For 30 or % men, in dense popu-
latiOn among railroads and telegraphs, to
attempt to raise an insurrection aud estab.
lish Provisional q government for the L.
s, was as crazy q notion as ever added a
poor mortal's brain.
Everybody rejoices that the mad effort
was suppressed with so little loss of life.
But very few all-souled politicians can
be found to attempt to make political cap
ital out Of 1T. Already, however, We see
Seward" and "Grecley" accused Of caus-
ing it. Aud We would not wonder If the
Argus and the Times should attribute to
"thc Chronicle clique hand IN 1t.
None abhOr blootshed and outrage-whe.
ther by individuals or Government, in
Kansas or at Harper's Fcrry-more than
the Republicans. We trust all sane oper-
ators in this outbreak will be punished,
even though worse ou,rages in Kansas
passed unuo,iced. We would prevent the
spread of the evil aud wrong of Slavery
over Free Soil, but resist aud oppose any
effort to abolish Slavery by force in the
States which choose to keep and nurse
that sensitive aud dangerous institution.

Preparing Fruit for Market.

Most fruit need no preparation beside what
nature gives them; they are beautiful beyond
the reach of art But there are some sorts
certain kinds of pears, for example, whose an
pearance may be much improved by little care
The Bartlett pear, for instance, is often ripe
enough for market before it has taken on that
golden and slightly ruddy hue which marks its
complete maturity. BY gathering it four or
i've days before marketing, the skin being vet
green, and the packing it in boxes about two
let square and eight inches Deep using some
SOFT wooden substance at the bottom of the box
and between the layers the fruit goes through
sweating process which hastens maturity and
gives it rich yellow color which makes it very
attractive to purchasers.
We know of several markets where pears so
treated command almost any price the fruit
raiser chooses to ask. We have seen baskets
oil Bartletts offered, equally as large and as
good IN every respect as these, but being green
colored, they brought only half the price.
Cotton batting, for some reason, does not
seem to be as good packing material as some
wooden substance it does not ripen the fruit
as quick, nor gives as fine blush to the skin
