Potato Ret Among New v.r,sti...

1t seems that the growers of the new
varieties that bring such a high price
are tempted to kill the goose that lays
the golden egg. An exchange states
that some of the new varieties OF potates
have begun to rot, and attributes the
cause OF the disease 10 the Use of unnat-
ural means to obtain great grow:
The people were desirous of making
them yield as great crop as possible !;
consequently stimulating manures were
abundantly applied 10 the soil, aud in :
few instances diseased tubers were the
consequence. There were some who
were not satisfied with merely cutting
up the potatoes into pieces containing
only single eye; but they put them
into propagating house, and when the
tops were few inches long they were
cut off and forced to produce roots, and
this process was continued until late in
the season. We know of one instance
where two barrels Of potatoes were pro-
duced from one tuber; but nearly one
half rotted soon after they were dug,
and no wonder. after being subjected to
such steaming process. There are
several new varieties of potatoes in .l,e
market, some of them selling very read
lily at fifty dollars each; and it must be
expected that those who pay such prices
will do their best to increase the stock.
The sweating process has been applied
to the grape for several years past, and a
large portion of the. vines s0iI were
grown from green cuttings; and we all
known the result was thousands of poor,
weakly, diseased vines, which no
amount of care would restore to health.
If our potato growers wish to make an
already diseased vegetable still verse,
they have only to follow up the same
method of prspagati0n. ~ -.

iPhilos0phical Plan.

Railway.
Philosophical Plan.
In this Seminary we have been led to adopt
the Philosophic plan Of each Professor and his
class devoting their Mhole time and energies to
asingle study, until completed. We have been
disheartened, or rendered superficial, by being
required to carry forward three or four studies
Quired TO hear SO many recitations and the time
WAS so broken up that IL was out Of the question
70 give each subject and each pupil the required
pected to be able to make our classes much more
thorough and practical but not only are we
succeeding beyond our expectations IN this par
more in the same time, rs well ~ doing it much
better. In graduating, one-third OF the time
and expense il saved, matter Of great consider
alton TO every one. After thoroughly mastering
the Common Branches, students complete the
as heretofore required; devOting three months
to Algebra, two TO Geometry, and two to Chem
istry, and one month each TO all the other stud
time allotted to each study enable US To do vast
ly more with it than 10 usually done. We ex-
plain this on the principle, that men show the
greatest results In = given time. when they de-
vote their whole energies to one thing. II has
been claimed that students devoting their whole
find instead of this being true, that the student
having an opportunity to concentrate his whole
energies upon one subject, succeeds, and as a
result of his success, an enthusiasm is awaken
ed, before unknown in schools; the student be-
comes genuine Philosopher in search of truth.
New Studies are commenced monthly, at which
time students can enter and remain as long as
desired. Glasses for Fall and early Winter, will
be formed September 18th, October l2th, and
November 9Th. A class will commence Algebra,
November 9th, and go regularly through with
Mathematics. By our plan we propose 10 make
this more thorough class than any ever con-
Quoted on the old system. Those wishing to
enter il, would do well to engage rooms soon.-

The Ladies' Ornamental Course is short, but the

ORCHARD CATERPILLAR This insect
comes and goes; is abundant in son,e
years, and in others disappears. Where
the millers or moths have left their rings
or eggs on the shoots of trees now is the
time to destroy them. A practiced eye
will see almost at u single glance if there
are any on tree by the swelling or knob
which one gives to shoot. Select a
dark or cloudy day, or else when the
sky is entirely clear-avoid thin bright
clouds, which will dazzle and hurt the,
eyes-and cut every shoot which con-
tains the eggs, and commit them to the
fire. A single clip of the srcbard- shears
on a pole will prevent y destructive nest

QUARRELING.-If anything in this
world makes man feel badly, except
pinching his fingers in the crack of a
door, il is unquestionably aquarrel. No
man ever fails to think less of himself
than before. Ii degrades him in rhe
eyes of others, and what is worse, blunts
his sensibilitiesa OH one hand, and in
creases the power of passionate irritabil-
ity on the other. The truth is, the more
pea ceably and quiet We get Oh the better
it is for our neighbOrs. In nine cases
out of ten, the better course is, if a man
cheats you, cease to deal with him; if he
is abusive, quit his company; and if he
lies about you, so conduct yourself that
nobody will believe him. No matter
who he is, or how he misuses you, the
wises: way is to let HIM alone; for there
is nothing better than this cool, calm
and quiet way of dealing with the
wrongs we meet with. Return not
railing for railing"
