Considerable interest attaches TO the
Stearns-Sampson case now on trial, on ac-
count Of the prominence and social position
of the parties and the novelty of the occur
renee upon which the plaintiffs found the
suit. The Court yesterday was well attended
by friends of both parties, who gave marked
attention to the proceedings. The case will
probably 60 to the jury to-day.
The dramatis persone are Mrs. Stearns,
fine looking lady of middle age, for whose
benefit the suit is brought; her eldest daugh-
ter, Mrs. Best, who is probably on the sun
niest side of 80, and who has with her an at
tractive little child, that engages much atten-
ton Mrs. Stearns' youngest daughter, Lille,
very progressing in appearance and un-
doubtedly highly accomplished a son, George
7. Stearns, Esq, of New York, gentleman
of distinguished appearance, who fills the of
fee of protector of his mother and sister, be-
ing the only male member of the family in
attendance, and who is undoubtedly the one
chiefly instrumental in supplying the counsel
with the data upon which they proceed. The
family is attended by Hallowell friends and
neighbors each day.
Mr.. Sampson, the defendant, is a young
man of enterprise, and high reputation as to
character, and has many friends in this Sec
ton, where he is well known. The allega-
ton that he was ever betrayed into commit
ting violent and inhuman acts is utterly in
consistent with his reputation for moderation,
justice and forbearance, and his friends at
least, are sanguine that his acts will stand the
closest inspection beneath the calcium light
that is being thrown upon them. As to the
merits of the case, however, we here volunteer
no opinion.

Conting for Outside Walls.

The following coating for rough brick
walls is used for painting lighthouses,
and it effectually prevents moisture from
striking through; Take of fresh Rosen-
dale cement three parts, and of clean,
fine sand one part mix with fresh water
thoroughly. This gives gray or granite
color, dark or light, according to the
color of the cement. If brick color is de-
sired, add enough venetian red to the
mixture to produce the color. fla very
light color is desired, lime may be used
with the cement and sand Care must
be taken to have all the ingredients well
mixed together. In applying the wash
the wall must be wet with clean fresh
water; then follow Immediately with the
cement wash. This prevents the bricks
from absorbing the water from the wash
too rapidly and gives time for the cement
to set. The wash must be we'll stirre d
during the application The mixture is
to be made as thick as can be applied
conveniently with whitewash brush 1t
is admirably suited for brickwork, fences,
ETC., but it cannot be used to advantage
over paint or whtewash.

How TO Raise Sweet Potatoes.

A correspondence of Hearthand Home
gives the following method of raising
these plants:
About the 10th of April, for the lati-
tude of Missouri procure as many bush
els Of the seed potatoes as you wish to
grow, and make hot-bed of fresh stable
manure, about three feet in depth, and
large enough to receive the potatoes.
Over this put four inches of rich soil
and sand, in about equal parts. Let it
remain few days until the first heat
passes off. Then place your potatoes on
the top, side and side, and cover them
with similar soil and sand two inches, and
in few days water gently. Keep some
plank convenient to lay over the bed at
night and during cool or rainy days. The
rain must not be permitted to fall on the
bed. After the plants show themselves
water (not cold) should be applied eUery
evening about sunset. Care must be ta-
ken not to let the hot manure burn the
potatoes which can be prevented by oc-
casionally running a stick down the bot
tom of the bed in several places, thus
permitting the accumulated heat to pass
of more readily When the plants are
large enough to " draw" water the bed
thoroughly. The operation is performed
by placing the fingers of one hand around
the plant you wish to remove, pressing
the earth down while you draw with the
thumb aud forefnger of the other hand.
This will keen the potato from coming uD
also, and the tuber will, in short time
furnish other plants equally as good as
the first, and so on "until the potato is
exhausted" Plant the slips as soon af-
ter drawing as convenient, and if the
ground is not wet, make it so by pouring
water into the hole you make for the
plant.
