tatoeS.

A Remedy for Rot and Blight in Po-
tatoes.
NEvAY, IND, July 12.-It is now
forty years since 1 discovered re-
medy for the rot and blight in pota-
toes. planted very early (say the
last of February or first Of March }
on well prepared rich and mellow
soil. ana then cultivated carefully,
being particular after each 1ain [ as
soon as the ground is dry to break
the crust; and so, all the time the
crop is growing, keep the surface Of
the soil loose and mellow. Proceed
ing in this manner the potatoes
(even Neshannocks will ripen the
last Of June, and be large and nice,
By planting later and cultivating
only in the ordinary manner, when
the crop is only partly grown, the
blight will attack the vines, and the
rains will wash the effects of the
blight down among the tubers, and
thus produce the rot. l have also
found that hoeing or working among
potatoes before sunrise, when the
dew is on, to be very beneficial to
the crop.-FRANCIs S. LINDSEY IN

perfectly ripe; take off those that are
bruised, leave the sound ones on the

the jar by placing a plate over it and
tying with a cloth. Then place the
jar in the ground, leaving two inches
above ground, Place a wide board,
and cover two feet earth. I have
thried this method and found it good

SALES DAY LAST,

At Sumter, was perfectly overshadowed, !,
n such, and the Sheriff, mounted on
mettled charger, with others, led tho
van Of the oolored hosts.
It was the Fourth, or fifteenth Cele-
bratiOn Day at Sumter. There was
firing ofcannon early in the morning,
and band of music was present
About IL o'clock, a company Of colored
militia, armed, headed by T. j. Coon.
Lam, Sheriff, T. B. JOHNSON, P. NJ,
and H. W. GARDNER, mounted, aud a
band Of music, and followed by several
divisions of tho Union League, marched
through Main Street to the Depot, to
receive Gov. SCOTT and other Radical
leaders.
ScoTr, and Attorney Gen. CHAM
BERIAIN. arrived at O'Clock, and a
procession was soon formed, and came
marching up Main Street.-The side.
walks, and, in truth, the whole street,
being filed with . moving mass Of
colored people, Of all ages and both
sexes.
LAS woil as recolleoted, the procession,
which moved in the centre of the street,
was in the following order:
Sheriff Coghlau, Post Master john
son, Senator johnson, (colored) 81. w.
Gardner, mounted, the band, the COM.
pany of colored militia, Governor Scot.
and General Moses, in buggy, On open
wagon containing several white officials,
divisions of the League, wagon drawn
by six horses, filed with small colored
girls (singing), other sections of the
League, wagon drawn by Elk mules,
filled with colorcd girls, (singiug) 9th
er sections of the League.
The procession moved to tho con.
venient oak grove near Judge GREENS,
residence. About the time of its arri.
val there, drenching rain fell, and the
speaking was interrupted. Of what was
further said and done, We arc without
report.
The day passed off quietly, and it is
but justice to say that good order pre-.
vailed, and that we saw but little
drunkenness, or disposition to distur-
bance.

THE ALLIGATOR HORSE.

The Augusta Chronicle d Sentinel
learns that a planter near Midway, in
South Carolina, about seventy miles
from Augusta, has cultivated his entire
farm this year, so far at least as plough-
ing is concerned, with an alligator The
animal is unusually large-weighs $50
pounds-and is pcrpectly docile and do
mcsticated. He is said to work splendidly
in plough harness, and is far superior to
mules or horses.
This must be ono of tho "half horse,
half alligator and touch Of the snap
pin turtle" kind.
