1t in wild state, and sent it TO Europe sup
posing like the potato, thar the tubers would
be good food for man. In its native state ib
~ lowiy plant, producing a very simple
and unshowy flower, it is said Ii has risen
to ITS present size and splendor as flower
ing plant by cultivation. 1t is fine autumn
flower, constituting to bloom until the hard
frosts kill it. We see that in many OF the
yards in this village, the Dahlia is at this
late day, looking as Furnishing as in August.
The large number of shades produces fine
effect, and it may be continued indefinitely,
We noticed a statement in New York pa
per last week, that one gentleman, at Hor-
ticultural Exhibition in Brooklyn had eighty
varieties. We learn that some ladies in this
county have rs many as fifty. a perfect
blue Dahlia has neyer been produced, but
standings from white TO the deepest purple
arc to be seen in many aow,r g,rlans.

Thursday was a raw windy day, not stormy
but disAcrccahle. The stock was about ali
gone. The only attraction for the day, was
the horse racing, the balloon ascension, and

We venture tn remark, that it Is the qaie.-

The large display Of house plants, added
very much to the Exhibition. rs usual, the
