From the Country Gentleman
Planting Sweet Potatoes.

In common with thousands of others
in the Southern States, have been a
reader of the Country Gentleman, and l
have frequently observed that we of the
extreme south less frequently find
articles therein adapted TO our section,
than we would if we were only further
north. 1t is with a view of making one
number worth all the years subscrip-
tion-and to many twenty times as
much-to those living in the sweet pota-
to region that / write this:
First, select only the very largest po-
tatoes for seed; on the same day Cor be-
fore weeld be best get a barrel, box or
tank of sSme sort that will hold water;
an it with corn cchs,. add liquid manure
water alone will do-until all the cobs
are covered; now keep il that way until
yeu are ready to plant, by which time
the col will be rotten, but yet holding
together. Wrap your potato set, plant
or vine around cob, once or so; then
bury it in your ridges, Loving an end OF
the vine out to grow. In this way you
w Ill make big Eaters and lets of 'em in
the hill, and that, toe, almost regardless
of soil. THEo. NOEL.

nlnnure md its Use.

Eds. Country GeRttemdn:-After con
timed experience in the use Of manure,
solid and Notwithstanding many kinds
of artificial mauures, have arrived at
the following conclusions:
First, that well made, well kept farm.
yard manure, is the back bone of good
agriculture and horticultural mean
manure from well fed animals, the rain
kept off and the urine kept in the ma.
nure by absorbents; second, that urine
ought never to be allowed to run from
the manure, even if it be caught in
tanks, for it is just as easy TO apply the
solid manure when it contains the liquid
portion as without it, beside being less
waste; third, that much of the slops
called liquid manure, does not pay n
fraction of the expense of saving and
applying when any considerable expense
has been incurred; and, lastly, that the
most elaborate experiments with which
| am acquainted, are of only campara-
tive value, and that every intelligent
cultivator must and will experiment for
himself, taking the best experiments of
others as basis for his own.

Pennsylvania Pigs.

The Ffllaqe Record, West Chester, Pa,
thinks that the Chester county pigs are
still ahead. Mr.. Jefferson Shaner is the
champion. About the middle of Feb
ruary he brought his claims to the test
by killing q pig of which a good deal
had already been said, so that the neigh
borhood was qaite alive to watch and
record the result. 1t was one of his
own raising 2 years and ) months old,
and weighed when dressed, lO4O pounds
1t measured 81 inches from the root OF
the tail 10 bctween the ears; q inches
in girth just behind the fore legs, and "
inches around the middle-its head
alone weighed "a pounds. 1t was al
ways a good feeder, and was rs lively
Oh its feet and could travel around as
well as a pig of three hundred pounds.
One Cur!ous fact is,that il did not touch
drop of water for the last four months.
Its flesh was very solid, as is shown by
the way its weight exceeded the esti.
mates Of the best judges. MI. Sbaner
had the weight and measurements OF q
number of large pigs killed for some
time past, by which he found they would
average Usually about nineteen pounds
TO the square foot. According to these
precedents this pig should have weighed
go pounds, but it weighed two or three
pounds more to the square foot 1t was
sold to Conner Il Martin of West Ches-
ter, at Sl2 hundred.
The highest figure known to have
been made in Chester county before, Is
the weight of pig killed in 1913 by
Mr.. JOS Morgan, which reached 1858
pounds but Mr.. Sbaner's pig dressed in
the same way, it is said, would have
been recorded at 1864 pounds, or IL
pounds heavier.

Ina recent Issue the New York Tribune
inscleutly asked the people of Connect
icut, some of whom object to having
negro suffrage forced upon them, "Well,
what are you going to do about it''
To this question Hartford Republican
thus pointedly replies:
But in view of the fact that we are 20
have negro suffrage forced upon us, by
such means as VIC have seen used in
Georgia, aud some otEer States, l for
one say to the TriJune's taunt, mean
to rote this spring, and, if am not mis-
taken, my r0te shall be against those who
hare done this job. A REPUBLICAN.
HARTFORD, March g. 1870.
If we are not greatly mistaken, there
are hundreds of Republicans in this
State whose feelings are akin to those
of the writer of this note. A great Oh
lection with them is the manner in
which this "job" has been done. Had
the people of West Virginia, by fair
expression at the ballot-box, declared
in favor of negro suffrage, there would
have been general acquiescence from
both sides and TO dessTtions from the Re-
publican party. But everybody knows
that our people were never allowed a
chance to pass upon this question, and
that if they had been permitted to do
so, West Virginia's vote would never
have been recorded for the amendment.
Our Constitution having been altered
without the consent of the people, there
ia bound to be dissatisfaction and the
Republican party will suffer thereftom.
The manner of ratification, alone, will
cost that party two votes in this State
where the amendment will gain them

Railroad smash Up in mound.,ilIO

Railroad smash Up in mOundsVilIO.
About half past seven O'Clock on Tues.
day evening last, the 29th inst, shock
ing railroad accident took place on the
Baltimore ana Ohio, within the cOrpo-
rate limits of MoundsvillC. Tho Fast
Line going East, to which the accident
happened, was going through the town
at a most rapid pace, withoutstOpping.
When passing the switch nea- the depot
it ran of the track fintO the embank.
ment alongside. The cause of the acci-
| dent was a misplaced switch-it not
being put back into its place, thus
running the train Off the track
completely. The locomotive, tender,
baggage car and one passenger car
had passed entirely OFF the main
track before the wheels of tho first
had ceased to revoive. The engineer,
upon perceiving that his locomotive
was upon the ground, Immediately re-
veIsed his engine and opened the valves,
and attempted to escape by jumping
from the disabled train, but was pre-
vented by the close contact with the
side of the hill. Luckily no could not
for he thus escaped horrible death.
The baggage car and tender were badly
damaged, the trucks of each being
twisted and brokou up badly. The loco
motive was No. 239, and was the same
one that was in the recent collision at
Burton.
1t was indeed q very narrow escape
from great loss Of life. The only per-
sen hurt was fireman, who was bruised
slightly by Jumps of coal falling upon
him. Several Of the lady passengers
were greatly frightened aud stunned by
tue sudden stop and uneven travelling.
The baggage master was badly handled
by the .jOlting of his car, and was fouGd
insensible, but not hurt. The loss to the
railroad company is pretty severe. a
telegraph dispatch was Immediately sont
to Wheeling for assistance, and new
locomotive with tender, &c, to take
the place of the injured part of the
train, soon appeared and took the un-
injured passenger cars Oh 10 their
place of destination, after n delay Of
about an hour and half. A regulator
also came down from Wheeling, with
Col. K. T. Devries, and a number of
workmen to place the broken cars and
locomotive again upon the track. They
were busily engaged all that night and
nearly all day Wednesday, before the
work was completed. While the men
were at work replacing the engine on
the track, one of them was accidentally
struck on the head with q pick and
severely hurt. The switch was seen by
the regular watchRan to De in its proper
place at o'clock, and for this reason he
is clear of blame. The displacement Of
the switch, it is supposed, was cansed
by some malicious person or persons,
by whom it Was -NoHRdscijie
