MAGNIFICENT HORTICULTURE
received yesterday, through the attention
OF Messrs. r. G. Craig & Co, Of the Ag-
ricultursl Warehouse, two lots Of pots
toes-the produce Of two hills-of the
Early Goodrich variety, cultivated by
our friend Geo. w. Gift, Esq., who has
given such close and intelligent Observ-
anoe to agricultural pursuits, and who is
contributing mOpntain OF labor TO the
advancement Of the science as well as
praetical improvement of agriculture, Of
which we shall let him speak in brief
communication, In our next. The speci-
mems fully warrants all the encomiums
passed upon the variety Of potato, both
for fecundity and quality. Messrs. Craig
a Co. also presented US with q specimen
of the Weatherford onion, weighing a
pound and half, and measuring fifteen
and a half inches in circumference.
grown from the seed this year, sold 6v
them, conclusively showing that this soil
and climate, with fair cultivation, cannot
be surpassed in the production OF this
rather fragrant but deservedly popular
esculent. It is proof conclusive that the
seed cold BY Msssrs. Craig & Co. is OF the
most approved aud certain character.

FURIOUS DRIvING.-We are requested
by an old citizen to cali the attention Of
the authorities to the manner ia which
the engines are driven through the

Yesterday morning the engine WAS
driven at the full speed Of two horses
through Adams street, between Third
and Fourth, ct the imminent peril of all
passengers and wayfarers. While we
recognise the necessity of haste in such
matters, we must deprecste everything
that looks like reeklessness, aud hope
that our gallant hre-boys viii try and
be more careful in future.

The following fact came into our pos

the wellknown fact that hordes oi
negroes have been drilling nightly in

a shape and Importance not only start

without reproach as such, living on
Market street between Church and the

there are organizations already perfect

Can't Sleep with the Whole Party.

We heard the following good joke re-
lated of member of the Pendleton Club,
of Cincinnati, at the New York Conven-
ton. 1t appears that he could not go
with the club when it started, but fol.
lowed it day or two afterward. Reach
ing the city in the night, and preferring
to go to a hotel rather than hunt up the
headquarters of the club at that late
hour, he made his way to an uptown
hotel. Of course, ii was crowded. But
what seemed wonder, there was one
room unoccupied. To that the tired
Cincinnatian was assigned, and was soon
marshaled away thither by a bell boy.
He was net little dismsyed to find the
room TO be about eight by ten feet, with a
small window fronting on an unfathoma'
BILE alley, its depths made vocal by bat
talon Of tom cats, and redolent with un.
numbered smells. He at once objected
to such quarters, and dispatched the bell
boy after the clerk, who soon made his
appearances.
"See here" said the Ciucinnatian,
"do you expect me to stay in this place
ell nightY"
The clerk assured him that in conse-
queuce of crowded condition of the ho-
tel, no better accommodation could be
afforded him, although it would be great
pleasure on his part to give him the best
room in the house. And" added the
clerk, BY way of a clinching argument,
"Gen. Grant slept in this room once
when be visited the city"
The gentleman from Porkopolis said
be didn't care a continental as to that,
hut If Gen. Grant could stand il be sup
posed that he could.
The clerk retired to the Office. compli-
menting himself upon his strategy. The
guest retired to bed, aud in FIVE minutes
was attacked By countless hosts of bed
bugs. Fndiug it useless TO contend
against such overwhelming numbers, be
hastily attired himself aud sought the
Office. "Why," said the astonished
clerk, 81 thought you were satisfied 70
stay in the room all night" p" Nov, look
here" said the Cincinnaiian, I've got
pluck enough 10 sleep where Gen. Grant
has slept. but III be eiernAlly cursed Il
can make up my mind TO sleep with the
whole Radical party. "-Cin. Enquirer.
