RECEIVING their new goods We have glanced
in at them, aud were perfectly charmed with
the elegant stocks the-c young men have
brought 10 this market. Older heads than
thee can do no better. Mr.. y. II. Hayden,

Of goods that will please the most fastidious,
and with his reputation a. fair dealer, his
customers will go no further to supply their
wants. Jos. A. Miller Of the firm Of McAli.-
ter 4 Miller has, in the selection Of his hand
some stock, done credi, to his reputation a.

Spurious.

II NAV not he known to all OF our readers
who wish to plant potatoes this spring, that
there are two kinds Of Early Rose in the market
for sale; the one a genuine variety, the other
spurious and almost worthless, from the fact
that it rots badly, is not prolific, neither is it
good to eat Bc sure, therefore, that in buy
ing the Early Rose, you get the kind which is
Of a pinkish purple color, and much Of the
shape Of the old time Ncshanock, only it is a
smoother sort, and the eyes not so deeply
sunkcn as the Neshanock. There is no better
potato for early or late use than the Rose, aud
we advise our friends to plant this kind and
the Russct, entirely.

spring /. very late, this grass is sufficiently
high, Of the new crop, to keep stock up. But
for this, many of our farmers would be COM

Of having no feed. We heard one farmer say
that he had nearly one hundred head Of cattle,
with nothing to feed them on, and that he had
turned them out on his grass fields rs last ne

Up to the present week the spring has been
very backward. For the last few days, though,
the weather has been very pleasant, and our
gardeners and farmers have made the most Of
it. We sincerely hope that the lesson Of short
crops of all kinds during the last year, inclu-
ding fruit, vegetables and all kinds Of farm
produce, such as hay Sc, will spur them up
to doubling of their diligence, so that an
other year will find an abundance Of every
thing essential to the maintenance Of both man
and beast.

The Frankfort Commonwealth, one Of the

suspends publication to-day. So long as the
ests of the people of Kentucky, they gave it
a liberal and generous support. Falling into
tue hands of radicals, however, its teachings
were not such as our people admired; hence
its suspension. The Commonwealth has been
really politically dead for years, and it should,
long since, have crept into its grave like de-
