The New Attractions at Saratoga

The multiplying OF gaming houses
in Saratoga from season to season has
been marked, but never as much as
now. On the main street many of the
second floors are taken by those who
keep gaming tables. No pains are Ia,

the streets, from the piazzas of the no.

sundown till sunrise, Sunday bringing
no repose and no cessation, men can
be seen under the fascination Of the

Some well-to-do and well reputed men
from New York daily play, with fixed
rule only TO lose a certain sum. They
play while they win. But when for

they play. But with all this rivalry

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE AS was
seen here recently, a large number Of
sbarpers always accompany the circus
in its travels, to rope in the country
boys. The Repubiican tells how one Of
them was outdone by Kenton boy a
few days since One of the proprie.
tors of Il jewelry stand undertook to
get one of the quiet looking town boys
to act as stool pigeon for bin. The
arrangement was made that the boy
should go up to the stand and try his
luck, draw a good prize, and quietly
return it to the proprietor, and thus
induce others to invest in the swindle.
A crowd was gathered, the cards were
arranged, and prize consisting of a
silver watch and five dollar green
back was drawr. This was handed
over to the lucky boy, and the bystan-
ders were urged to try their chances
No sooner did hereCeive his prize than
he concluded thatit was time for him
to leave; and instead OF returning bis
watch to the swindler, he "lit OUT
satisfied with his day. work. Pursuit
was made by the victimized victim
but it wasofno use. Hereached home

Mixing Potatoes.

We met with a farmer last week
whom we know to be very successful
in his agricultural operations, but who
has some notions of his own about
farming Among other things, he
said that Ire always gets a better crop
of potatoes when he mixed together
several kinds. He says that if you take
the several Kinds and plant them sep
arately omdthe samo piece, and then
plant another similar with1hem mix.
ed the latter will be o larger CROP

to us. Can any of our potato -raisers

1t is of very great Importance in

rience is, that clover sod, together
with all the grass and weeds that will
grow on it, from the first Of July. till
the twentieth of August carefully
turned under, is the best green dress
ing for a crop of wheat, Other kinds,
as orchard grass, timothy, herd grass,

which, when plowed under, is equal to

the land is sowcd broadcast with any

in the past, and it may occur in the

meet together in Congress. There
will be no argument then in reference
to the civil rights Of the negro or the
civil rights of the white man, for it is
fixed by the Constitution. There will
be no discussion about the civil rights
to be accorded to the traitors, for that,
too will have to be fixed by the Con.

of the payment Of the rebel debt or
