PorAToE JuBlLEE-UsE OF Potato

PoTAToE JuBlLEE-Usx OF PorAToE
Tops.-lt the potatoe loving people OF
New England ever bad occasion to hold a
potato jubilee, they have now. During
the severity Of the drouth III June aud
part Of July, it seemed that the potato
crop would never grow again, and it was
the general opinion that what had been
planted would not be worth digging
The rains which came SO providentially,
and followed SO timely all along until
now, began to revive them, and they
pushed along in double quick tirno.-the
tops fourshing and the tubers swelling.
1t seems Ike old times to roll out such
noble aud sound patxtoes as are found in
almost every field. pNe have not seen or
heard Of rotten one u all ou: walks
The drouth, probably used that disease
up, and goodbye to it. It'i, thought by
some that there will be million more
~ers Dassi1 last ys Ws do o not r know ' how it
will be, bu. this is certain, what have been
dug thus far are OF the best quality.
While talking about potatoes, 1t may
not be amiss to give suggestion made 10y
a friend the other day riding along the
road He recommended to place them
around apple trees, where they would act,
not only as a mulch at first, but after
wards as they decay, as a fertilizer. We
know by actual analysis, that the potato
vine contains large percentage Of pot
ash, and this ingredient alone may be, and
undoubtedly is valuable as a fertilizer for
all trees, iuasmuch az the wood must be
made up in part Of this a'kali. 1t is an
experiment easily tried, and we hope that
the hint may be acted upon aud the re-
suits on the trees carefully noted and re-
ported.--Nc. Farmer.

PERSONAL.

Mr.. Hiatt of Mound City, upon the ar.
rival of worn out militia. at ter a forced
march Of forty eight hours without sleep CT
anything to eat, rolled in barrels of fl III
and set a half dozAn cooks to work, an fed
every man that he could force into eat, he
did not wait for 10 be called Cd. but went
into the streets and hailed all TO come and
eat. His conduct shovel him to be man
of the right stripe willing to do his duty,
as good citizen, and practical christian
and patriot.
This march was made to Mound City. in
order to protect it from the threatened de-
struction Of Prices marauliDg land pirates,
and undoubtedly saved the town from being
destroyed, and Ibe citizsns are under the
strongest obligations to Col Moonlight and
and the militia for the timely protection
given.
We do not claim that Mr.. Hiatt done
anything more than his duty, but he never
fails to do that, it is a characteristic that
belongs TO the name. We know them OF
old. While speaking of that case as com.
mendable. We do not wish to disparage the
citizens generally. But there was one case
SO striking in contrast, of unmitigated mean
ness that we believe it is due 10 the commu
nifty that it should be made public, and we
are sorry to say that this nondescr;pt once
was a citizen of Lyon County, and moved
from here there, be is professed follower
OF the meek and lowly Jesus, and tries to
expound the Gospel of Christ; yet his con
duct on that occasion ehowrd that be was
unwilling to feed the hungry
We have citizen here who used 10 visit
and was on most intimate terms with the
family while living here, who called upon
his old fr;eni on that occasion. H told
them of the hard march they had perform
ed to save Mound City. and that he had had
nothing to eat for the last forty eight hours.
and strange to say. the old man and family
were seated aroud table supplied plenti-
fully with the bounties of heaven. the old
man nor family had not the common polite
ness or goodness of heart to invite him Il
his dinner.
Our friend being very Independent man,
sought his dinner elsewhere. Such men
-hould be known. They will ssrve as a
standard of meaness. TO enable US TO JUICE
and appreciate the good qualities of honest
patriotic men by.
We wish this pntEie 6enefactOr had been
within reach of Prices Asnkers. Proba
bly, justice would have been done.
