Early Rose and Early Good.
Rich Potatoes.

We planted this season two rows
each Of Early Rose, Goodrich and
Shaw Potatoes, on the same day, side
by side. They were planted simply
as early potatoes, for our own table;
had no extra care or attention. AS to
the time Of being ready for use, the
Rose was about two weeks earlier than
either Of the others. The Goodrich
and Shaw came in about the same
time: if any difference, the Goodrich
aIttle ahead. We left sixteen feet Of
the row Of Rose forseed. On digging
them, we had ninety-eight pounds.
They were fine, large, well formed
tubers, about the size Of the largest
old fashioned Neshanock.
We. planted q few Goodrich at an
other time and place, as much for ex-
pertinent as anything else. Planted
single eyes, four in a hill. Atdigging
slime We dug and weighed twelve hills
separate. The average was a fraction
Over nine pounds 10 the hill. We are
aware this is not up to some Of the
fancy yields, yet we think itgOod, and
are satisfied with it.
In regard to the Early Rose, we
think It fully sustains all its most san
guine friends have said in its behalf.
It'll earlier than any other variety we
have tried. Yields well, and the tube
Is Of an excellent quality. We shall
use IL as the early potato, until some
thing better is produced.

To give an idea Of the extent Of fruit
tree planting in this section Of the
State, we mention the fact that the
representative Of one single nursery
establishment Of our acquaintance
sold for delivery the coming fall at
this point alone, over eight thousand
dollars worth Of fruit trees, evergreens
and towering shrubs. Some croakers
q ''We'n be over run with fruit d.
rectiy, and il viii be q drug on our
hands.n Who Is there, now grown,
who cannot look back and see In his
native State when he was a boy, when
apples were given awayfOr gathering
and watch along as population in
creased and additional orchards were
pIanted, and thousands Of trees addi-
tionaIIy grown in the same neighbOr-
hood, that the price Of fruit kept
going up, until to-day in that same
neighborhood fruit is worth as much
as IL Is here.
Don't be afraid Of planting OF grow
ing too much good fruit. In addition
to the natural increase of population,
the taste and desire for fruit is greater
every year, and the best evidence Is
the steady and even advancing price
for good fruit.
The Journal Of Horticulture, in
speaking on this subject says: "The
quantity Of Strawberries raised around
Boston Is variously estimated at from
ten to twenty times as many as were
grown twenty years ago, yetthe price
has advanced from fifty to one hun
dred per cent" And SO it may be
said Of all other varieties Of fruits.

Wearei indebted to CYRUS DOUaLAs,
ESQ, Secretary johnson County Ag-
ricuItural Society, fox the following
interesting communication, showing
the frut prospects ID that county.
TECUMsEH, JOHNSON Co, NEB.
August 18th, 1863. j
r.. ". Furn0ss
DEAR SIR-At the request Of Mr..
Ellsworth, President Of the johnson
County Agricultural Society, I send
you a few items In regard to different
varieties Of fruit raised in this county
in reply to yours Of July 18th.
Among the several fruit growers Of
this county, I think that Mr.. Corsen,
three miles south Of Tecumseh, has
been the most successful He has
seventy-fve apple trees in bearing,
and several hundred that are not yet.
Of the many varieties tested by him,
he thinks the Red Astrachan themost
reliable Of all; perfectly hardy, and
an average bearer. The fruit is excel
lent and Of good size. Early Harvest
very good apple, not SO hardy as
Astrachan. Smiths CideF-profuse
bearer; thinks that it win succeed
well here. Winter Rambo-perfectly
reliable. Rawle's Jannett viii do
pretty well. In addition to the varie-
ties mentioned, Nh. C. has the North
ern Spy, Cooper, Gravenstein, Maid
EMS Blush, Winter Pearmain, &C.
Pears do well in this section. NIr.
Cook, living near Helena in the coun-
ty, has a good many in bearing. Says
that the climate and soil is well adapt
ed to all the hardy varieties. do not
know the varieties that he has.
Cherries do well here. The Early
Richmond, May Duke, and others are
raised successfully; but the grape will
take the lead in this county among
fruits. Mr.. Corson, Mr.. Cook and
Mr.. Bell are theprincipal grape grow
ers in this county. OF the many va
rieties grown by them the Concord,
Clinton, Isabella and Catawba, are the
most reliable. 1 have the Concord
and Delaware in bearing. / think the
latter grape rather slow to fructuate,
but an average bearer.
There will be a small crop Of Peach
es this season, owing to most Of the
Peach orchards being planted on low
ground. They were killed BY the
severe winter-at least a great many
were. We need not expect to raise
peaches successfully until we place our
trees on high rolling land. All varie-
ties Of small fruits do well here.
In conclusion I can say that I think
the farmers Of this county are taking
a lively interest in raising fruit; at
least they are taking the pains to
plant out a great many fruit trees,
with the expectation of realizing some
good from them, and I hope they
will.
Hoping that these few hastily writ
ten lines will be Of some benefit to
you, I will close.

Rec. Sec. Johnson Oa. IA. Nee. &Dciar.

The BODY IN THE DoCK-CoRoNER's IN
ouEsT.-Pursuant to adjournment, the jury
of inquest summoned over the body of
Samuel J. Patterson, of Company "A,"
Eleventh United States infantry, met in
the Mayors courtroom yesterday morn
ing-Dr. Trent, acting coroner, presiding.
Mrs. Rosanna Ried, Misses Mary and Jo-
sephine Collins, and Charles French and
Michael Murphy UNITED States soldiers) /,
were sworn, and from their testimony the
following facts were elected:
The deceased was seen by several parties
with discharged soldier named Warden
on the evening before he was missing that
Of the 26th ultimo. The two left the
boarding house of Mrs. Collins, where
Warden boarded, at 9 O'Clock that night.
Patterson was perfectly sober, but Warden
had been drinking. Warden returned at
ii o'clock, and stated that he and Patterson
had gotten into difficulty with crowd of
negroes on Broad and Twelfth streets. he
(Warden) had been struck in the back with
brick, and he ran away, leaving Patter-
son with the negroes. He did not seem
much concerned, but merely expressed fear
that the negroes had killed Patterson.
In answer to inquiries made, Warden had
made similar statements in the presence Of
all the witnesses examined. When some
thing was said about his being arrested, he
said he didn't fear that, as he had done no.
thing. He remained in the city week or
ten days after the deceased was missing,
and he then went to Washington.
After hearing the testimony, the jury re-
turned verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased came to his death by violence in
some form unknown to the jury.

IMPORTANT ACTION OF THE CONSERVE
TIVE STATE CENTRAL CoMMITTEE.-At a
meeting of the resident members of the
State Central Committee Of the Conserya-
tive party Of Virginia, held on yesterday,
the following preamble and resolution we're
adopted:
"Whereas at meeting of the Conserva-
tive Executive Committee Of the State, in
December, 1868, it was resolved that it was
inexpedient to take any decided action un-
til Congress had fixed some day for an cleo
tion in Virginia, and the resident committee
in Richmond was directed to convene the
general committee at an early day after
such action by Congress; and whereas it is
the fixed purpose of this committee to call
such meeting in the event of such action
by Congress; therefore,
"Resolued, That it is the earnest request
Of this committee to the Conservative voters
of the State to adhere to the organization
and resolves heretofore established and
proclaimed
