''THE GR,FTrNa OF PoTAroEs "A
correspondent OF the RarH New
Iorker writes, ''has recently been
recommended to be introduced for
the eventuality and purpose of COM
bining the good qualities of two diff.
ferent sorts into one Select Of the
potatoes which has your preference
the very best andsoundest specimens;
cut out in careful way, with pen
knife, the buds or eyes cut them out
about one inch deep and one half to
three-quarters of an inch in diameter
in the form of a pyramid, i. e., that
the hole in theAotato runs in to n
point on the end or inside; then take
of the other potato a piece, if pos
sible, with from one to three buds or
eyes; fit it in as good and tight as
you possibly can and tie up with a
(bass) string in the quickest possible
manner. To fasten the inserted piece
more effectually, a hair pin may be
put in on each side. Potatoes grated
in this manner should be, rs soon as
this operation is perfected, placed in
damp ground and well covered up.
If the cut grows out--that is, if the
two different pieces join--the opera-
ton is success"

BOGUS MoLAssEs. s.--Scientific au-
thorities have of late directed atten-
ton to the fact that large quantities
of bogus and adulterated syrups are
being sold for genuine molasses.
These nostrums are said to be large
ly composed of sawdust. paper, rags,
and starch, chemically treated with
poisonous acids. 1t is we'll known to
chemists that sulphuric acid has q
magical effect upon woody fibre, such
as found in flax and cotton. There
fore linen and cotton rags furnish the
most productive source OF the princi
pal ingredient of the manufactured
syrup. Rags suitable for the pur
pose can be bought at from four to
six cents per pound, and muriatic
acid is cheap chemical; 30 the
manufacturing of these articles into
marketable syrup cannot fail to be
very profitable enterprise. The
.delectable compound is made in two
large establishments in New York,
and also to a great extent in Chicago,
Boston and New Orleans.
To detect the bogus syrup it is
only necessary to use tannin as n
test; andas there is considerable tan
min in ordinary table tea, make q
strong cup of green or black tea, and
pour into q teaspoonful Of the suspect
ed molasses. The muriatic acid, il
there be any in the molasses, will at
once unite with the tannin and turn
the tea into a black, dirty-looking
liquid that no ono would like TO drink
even II it were wholesome. II will
Of course be rejected when il is known
to DO poisonous, a. il must needs be
when muriatic or snlphuriatic acid
are used in its manufacture.
The public is also swindled in an
article Of artificial honey, made Of
cotton and linen rags, chemically
treated with sulphuric acid and thick
ened With corn starch. II is also
said that sugar made by boiling down
the bogus sugar syrup IL extensively
used in the manufacture OF coniec-
tionery, and the little children are
poisoned with the oil Of vitriol at the
time when their delicate syatcsns can
" sustain IL deliterious sdscla

SERIOUS ACCIDENT On Saturday
last, number of marksmen assem-
bled in Centre township for the pur-
pose of a shooting-match and target
practice. As we are informed man
named Kalpetzer was placing in po-
sition the target for his fellow
marksman to shoot at who was at
rest. when the gun, in the hands of
the latter was accidentally discharg-
cd. The contents of the rifle took
effect in one of the legs of Mr.. Kalpet-
ger, shattering both bones, causing a
severe wound also making q flesh
wound in the other. Physicians were
immediately summoned, and after
consultations and at the request of
the injured man amputation was post
poned. Those present attach no
blame to anyone. Both have our
sympathies.
