Planting Potatoes.

From different sources We gather the
experience Of farmers with reference to
the amount Of seed it is profitable to use
10 planting potatoes. Our readers should
mark this article, and refer 70 i, at plaut.
ing time.
johnson says: For the main crops
it is evident from experiment, that mod
crate sized whole potatoes are the best,
from which all but two eyes have been
removed; but especially having the crown,
which is congery Of small eyes first
removed for from these proceed little
srindled stalks, which are comparatively
worthless, and injure the main STEM
For the early crops almost the very
contrary to the above is the most advan-
tageous to be practiced. The set should
have the crown eye, which is one grow.
ing in the center Of the ccngery Of SMALL
ones above mentioned, preserved. Some
potatoes have two such eyes, but the
generality only one. This is always the
most prompt to vcgita.e, and if not known
by this description may be evinced by
placing two or three potatoes in pan Of
moist earth hear the FIRE. If the earth
is kept moist, the crown eye will be in a
state Of Vegetation in Eve or six days
To obtain early crops when tubcrs
are rapidly formed, large sets must be
employed. In these, one or two eyes at
most should be allowed to remain. II
the sets are placed with their leading
buds upwards, few and very strong ear
~ stems will be produced; but if the
position isreversel, many weak and later
shoots will arise, and not only the EARL
ness, but the quality of the produce be
deprecated"
Another writer urges that farmers do
not waste feed BY planting more than
one or two eyes in hill-unless it is
desired to spoil the crop. He succeeds
four fold better than upon the old pota-
to plan. Would advise three or four
eyes in bill i planted 2by feet apart
If in drills, six inches apart in row, one
or two eycs-fve'sxths Of the seed is
saved, and tho proportion Of large to
small potatoes. is increased three fold
over the old plan.
Since writing the foregoing, the Feb.
No. Of the Valley Farmer has come 10
hand in which Minnesota correspond,
ent gives the product Of three potatoes
to be ten bushels--from the larces: DO
tato he says he raised five bushels
planted one eye in each hill From the
two smaller potatoes he grew the other
i've bushels, planting two eyes in each
kill.
a recent writer in the New England
Farmer, says, where some hills Of corn
were missing, be planted sprouts or vines
picked from the potatoes in the cellar.
They were picked off with the fingers as
close to the potato as possible being 6 to
Is inches long, set out and grew, and
produced equally as we'll as the same va.
rieties did on the same ground year
previous. The varieties were the Coburg
and Sand Lake potato. He believes the
sprouts may be used and save the potato
obtaining an equal crop and saving all

SLEEp.-There is no fact m ore clearly

ergies and itself during the hours Of
wakefulness, and that these are recuper,
ate during sleep; if the rccuperation
poes not equal the expenditure, the brain
whithcrs-tbis is insanity. Thus it is
that, in early English history, persons
who were condemned to death by being
prevented from sleeping always die raving
maniac thus it is, also, that those who
are starved to death become insane; the
brain is not nourished and they can not

Railroad Movement.

A large and enthusiastic Railroad meet
ing was held at Harrisburg, on Wednesday
OF week before last, composed of delegates
from various parts Of the State
Chief Justice Lowrie, of the Supreme
Court, presided, and was assisted by a
number of Vice Presidents.
Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, Attorney Gen
eral Of the United States, together with
Col. Shrlver, of New York city, and nine
other prominent gentlemen, were appoin-
ted committee on resolutions, who re-
ported the following preamble and resolu-
ton, which were unanimously adopted,
viz:
WHEREAS, 1t has been made manifest to this
convention, upon the most conclusive evidence
that a railroad from the city of New York to
the ONO river, and the heart of the Great
W est may be made for less than eight millions
OF dollars, and twenty equated miles shorter
Ihdh Dy any other route now in existence
through Pennsylvania, and fifty actual miles
shorter than by any route through New York.
therefore be it
he'0tred, That committee of five persons
De appointed for the purpose of laying these
iacts before capitalists and other persons who
are interested in this great thoroughfara of
trade, and inviting aid to secure the speedy
completion of this important enterprizc.
The committee appointed, in compliance
with the resolution, were Messrs. Thomas
Shriver, Isaac Hughes, John Cessna, A
Z. Wilson and Nelson Reilly.

CHAPTER XIV.
Allegheny Township.

Allegheny township is bounded by
Blair county on the east, Washington town
ship on the South, Cambria and Carroll
townships on the west, and Clearfeld
township on the North, and contains about
80 square miles.
The eastern line of this township, in
common with the eastern line of the coun-
ty, is the summit Of the Allegheny
mountain. 1t occupies the western slope
of the mountain, and extends into the
plain at its base The township is hill
ly.
The head waters of Chest creek and
Clearfcd creek, tributaries of the West
Branch Of Susquehanna, flow through
this township; and the springs of the Ju-
niata aud Conemaugh also arise within It's
boundaries.
The soil, like the soil generally in the
neighborhood of the Allegheny, is better
adapted to pasturage than farming There
are, however, number of excellent farms
in this township. About two thirds of the
township is tillable.
Its minerals are bituminous coal, iron,
and limestone, all Of which are found in
the spurs of the Allegheny.
Its principle town is the Borough of Lo-
retto, of which | shall not speak now, but
leave for Il separate chapter.
The Pennsylvania Rail Road, enters
this township at the mouth of the Ale
gheny Tunnel, and cuts off small triangle,
before passing into Washington township
This tunnel is nearly mile in length,
and is one of the most stupenduous achiev-
ments known to the internal Improvement
system Of Pennsylvania. A tunnel is also
in progress for the new Portage, which
also passes through this township. A
plank road is also being made from
Loretto to Rhododendron, connecting
the former town with the Penn'a Rail
Road and an act of Assembly has
also been passed for Plank Road from
Lorretto to Carroltown, and another for
Plank Road from Loretto to Ebensburg.
The Dry Gap State road forms the boun-
dary Of this township, dividing it from
Clearfeld, for the distance of nine or ten
miles
In 1850 the population consisted of
169 white males, I'll white females, 6
free colored males, free colored females
total population 1,4SS The number
Of dwelling houses at the same time was
23S, the number of families, 244. Of this |!

EOCo-EOcO Consistency.

1t is a significant fact, that, until the
meeting of the Chicago Convention, nearly
all the Loco-Foco editors in the country
were engaged in the business of maligning q
and abusing Senator Seward For months
they pursued him with bitterness akin
to that which actuated the enemies of the
lamented Clay they garbled his speeches,
mIsrepresented his acts, impugned his mo
tiyes, and did everything which malice
could suggest to belittle that great man,
and render him odious in the estimation
OF the public. And why? The answer
is plain. 1t was supposed by these un-
scrupulous demagogues that Senator Sew
ard would be the nominee OF the Chicago
Convention; and wishing to take time by
the forelock, they resolved to begin early
that work Of vituperation which they ex-
pected to carry on against him throughout
the campaign.
But when the Chicago Convention has
done its work-presto what change
comes over the spirit of the dreams of
these our Loco-Foco editors. Instantly
they drop Senator Seward, and turn their
exclusive attention to Abraham Lincoln.
Before the nomination, Seward had all the
abuse, and Lincoln none now Seward
has none, and Lincoln has it all For
being the author of the ''irrepressible con-
tiiot' doctrine, Seward was assailed in the
coarsest style that his enemies could en-
ploy now they tell us that he is the great
est statesman living, and that not he, but
Abraham Lincoln, was the first to enun-
ciate that doctrine
This is one attempt to shift response
bllity. If the movers in it could succeed,
we should doubtless soon be informed that
Lincoln is also the author of the "higher
law doctrine. We must, of course, ex-
pect that Loco-F Focoism will do all in its
power to defeat our candidates but we
think that all the clap-trap and falsehood
they can bring into the campaign will not
accomplish that purpose. So, let them 90
on, if they think there's no -.
