root cannot be too much recommended to
the notice Of mankind, as cheap and salub.
rious substitute for the now failing and dis
eased potatoe. Hitherto the red kind has
only been used in England as pickle. or as
garnish for salad even the few who dress
it generally boil it, by which process the rich
sacharine juice is in measure lost, and the
root consequently rendered less nutritious by
the quantity of water it imbibes, as well as
by parting with the native syrup, Of which it
is thus forcibly deprived; it is therefore
strongly recommended to bake instead of
boiling them, when they will be found to af.
ford delicious and wholesome food. This
is not an untried novelty, for both red and
white beet root are extensively used on the
continent; in Italy, particularly, they are
carried about hot from oven twicea day, and
sold publicly on the streets; thus they ate
purchased by all classes OF people, and give
to thousands, with bread salt, pepper and
butter, a satisfactory meal. There are few
purposes for which baked, or even roasted.
or fried beet root, would not be found prefer
able to boiled. If these roots were as univer-
sally cultivated in England for human food
as they are on the continent Of Europe, and
baked and sold as cheap as they might easily
be, many poor person would have heart
and good meal, who is often obliged to 90
without one; and now that the potato crop is
again failing, the above information cannot
but be of much service if generally known,
for there is good deal of beet in the coun-
try, although planted or sown for the use Of
cattle.

exception alluded to is that Of County Auditor,
Tor which position the fight was hotly contested,

some weeks previously. the personal and polit

with the view Of defeating his election. 1t was
not until the Saturday evening preceding the
election that he partially obtained the means Of
