LARGE VEGETABLEs-Mr. Samuel 7.
Love, who lives in the neighborhood of Dub
lin, has sent us a mammoth sweet potato,
raised by him. 1t is in shape not unlike an
egg plant, girths around 10 inches each way,
and weighs four pounds. Mr.. Love lbs been
remarkably successful in the culture of the
sweet potato and raises every year large guam
titles of this delicious csculcnt Old Dublin
will wear the laurel this year in the sweet
potato line, or we are much mistaken.
Mr.. James Harry has also left at our Office
huge beet, which beats the great beet men
toned few weeks ago. 1t is two feet long
exclusive of top, weighs over six pounds, and
judging from the small piece of tap root left
on it, it would be rather difficult TO tell to
what depth in the ground it penetrated.
RESIGNATION OF A MINISTER REV. 8. w.
Champion, for many years rector of Spesutia
Episcopal Church, in this county, has resign
ed his rcctorship and accepted the chaplaincy
of the Patapsco Female Institute, Ellicott
City, Md Mr. Champion is an earnest and
faithful minister, and during his long pastor
ate at Spcsutia has so won the regard and
esteem of his people, as to cause them to part
from him with regret.
Mr.. Isaac Scarborough, ut Prospect, few
days ago killed very fine little calf about
six months old, which weighed, when dress
cd and cut up 253 lbs. IT was considered
very heavy for its age.
