A NEW ENTERPhfsE.-we have

A NEW ENTERPRISE. have
long had marine, life and accident
insurance companies, but there has
lately been established, and is now in
successful operation, in an eastern
city, an insurance company of an enc
tirely different character 1t is called
the "Beauty Insurance Company
or course it is solely for the benefit
of the fair sex, as there is not much
beauty to be found among the males;
the latter, on the contrary, claiming
tbs exclusive privilege ofugligness.-
The fundamental idea of this novel
institution is, that pretty maid or
good-looking matron can insure her.
self for any amount. So long as they
remain good looking, they receive
no pay or benefits; but so soon as they
loose their beauty, either from the ef-
fects of disease or the rayages of time,
the holder of a policy is entitled to
the full amount for which she is in
sured, provided she will appear before
the protocolist and make the follow
ing affidavit: ~ am no longer good
looking" Such a heroic declaration
from any woman is certainly desery-
of the highest reward. The afore-
said company is in q flourishing con-
dition, never having been called upon
to disburse in n single instance. We
withhold the name ofthe place where
the company is located for fear that
its officers will be overwhelmed with
applications for local agencies.

WHEAT CROPS.-On a recent visit,
TO the northeastern portion of this
county, we were much gratified to
find that the wheat crop was looking
remarkably well. From nearly all
parts of the county, we hear the same
cheering news.
We were shown by Mr.. T. ID.
Leonard, few days ago, n specimen
of his crop. The stalk was about
five feet five inches high, with a fine
head. This is good news to the poor
who have to pay such high prices for
flour Let the prices come down.

COMPLEMENTARY TO PRINTERS
A protected and heated discussion has
lately arisen in the New York Legis-
lature, now sitting at Albany, on the
subject OfintrOducing the art of print
ing into the State prison at Sing Sing.
An investigation, however, disclosed
thefact that the craft had only three
representatives in that institution,
and hence the exceeding folly of such
legislation. If our makers gem
orally Were possessed of one half the
brains represented by that unpretend-
ing class of artisans knownas printers,
we would have more Wholesome laws
and less wrangling, at the expense of
an impoverished taX-paying con-
stituency, over matters quite as
foolish and attempts equally as futile
rs that of the New York Legislature.

to the potatoes. I like best a wide plow,
cut off so 1t will not run much deeper
than a cultivator or a double-shovel. Do
not go closer than three or four inches to
the row, so as to leave ridge about six
inches wide, with small hollow in the
middle where the row is, so that the water
from the dews and light showers will run
down and wet the roots of the potatoes, but
go the water from heavy showers will break
the ridges and flow off into the furrows.-
Then about the time the vines begin to fall
down plow them the way they were
planted. st.
This is all they will require unless the
weeds appear. If so they must be de-
stroyed, as weeds or fox tail grass is ruin
Gus to potato crop.
1 have found it bad policy to raise many
varieties. Have tried some forty or fifty
kinds, for the purpose of showing at our
| fairs, but generally when I came to dig
them they were so mean was ashamed to
show more than eight or ten of the best
varieties. ~ r-ri5.'-..
On this subject I suppose 1t is useless to
say much; for mankind are much alike
each wishes to try for himself. Like the
pigs with the hot swil, one sticks his nose
| in and runs off squealing; still each one
must get his nose burnt before he will be
satisfied. ga
So with new beginners; they are slow
to take advice, each one preferring to get
| his fingers burned for himself. This is on
the same principle that every young man
wishes to SOW his own wild oats.
