There are several modes sby which
sweet potatoes can be kept through
winter and spring; the main thing
being to keep them dry and free
from frost. They may be kept
sound on shelves in the cupboard
and kitchen, if not allowed to get
frosted they may be kept on shelves
in a dry cellar, where it never gets
cold enough to freeze. R1s@ pA&
Larger quantities may be kept In
barrels or boxes with old papers be-
tween the layers Of potatoes, if not
allowed to freeze SO, layers ofpota-
toes with dry sand between them

get frosted. Keeping them moder-
ately warm and dry=-not too much

A pra2tical farmer Of this section
has just discovered a method by
which sweet potatoes can be kept
the Whole year round aud he as
good as when taken from the ground.
The method is very simple assfol-

from the ground, transfer them to

of wheat or ehaff, and keep them in

LETTER FROM KNOXVILLE.
THE CONSTITUTION TO BE YIN
Dictated.
KNoxvILLE, Dec. 4, 1S76.

KNoxyILLE, Dec. A, 1876
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette
The republic of the United States is
in the last gasp: this Centennial year
may witness its destruction. A military
despot sets at defiance the win of the
people. He surrounds himself with bad
men, the Catalines of America, and by
military force destroys free government
For less than what he has done, Charles
the First, of England, lost his head. The
conspiracy has but just begun to show
its proportions. They intend to push it
at Washington with all the zeal of des-
peradoes. They know that to fail, is TO
jeopardise their neeks. They are guilty
of the worst of treason. With false re-
turns, they intend to deny the right of
either House of Congress to go behind
the returns and by displacing Ferry and
substituting jim Blaine, they expect to
bluff the Democrats and ratify their
scheme of villainy. They deny the au-
thority of Congress to go behind broad
seals and all that kind of thing, with
which they will clothe their false returns
and back themselves with Sherman and
his army. Congress once looked behind
the broad seals of Gov. Pennington, of
New Jersey, and seated the members,
who were duly:eIected. Old Thad Ste
vens and c. b. Penrose failed in Penn
sylvania to carry out similar fraud
The Philadelphia district elected Dem
ocrat to Congress and corrupt board of
examiners gave the certificate to Naylor,
bat the House of Representatives thwart-
ed the conspirators. Grant and his hench-
men viii yet be consigned to infamy.
If we all keep cool we shall see the con-
stitntion vindicatod and the severest as
sau1t ever made upon it defeated.

DR.. Franklin's Toast.

Long after the Victoriesaof Wash
mgton over the French and English
had made his. name familiar to all
Europe, DIR. Franklin, Glanced to
dine with the English and French
Ambassadors, when. as nearly as
the precise words cansbe re collected,
the following toasts were drank:
''England-The Sun, whose bright
beams enlighten and fructify the
remotest corners Of the earth. .Ho4aa
The French Ambassador filed
with national pride, and being too
polite to dispute the previous toast,
drank the following:
'France-Tne Moon, whose mild.
steady and cheering rays are the
delight of all nations. eonsoling them
in darkness beautifully.'ilg F1av ad
DR.. Franklin then rose, and with
his usual dignified. simplicity. said:
George Washington The Joshua
who commanded the Sun and Moon
to stand still and theyaobeyed."

EDIroRs CLARION As an additional an
swcr to numerous inquiries about our State
University, permit me briefly to state
through your columns:
That the University will open October

. partmeHtO OF the University IL well organized
and well differed. The Preparatory De
partment of the University under Professor
l.. 4. Fiizhugh, assisted by Mr.. Ino. w.
johnson affords superior advantages for pre-
pairing Young men. who are not sufficiently
advanced, for the higher departments OF the
University. The buildings are all in good
repair. the campus beautiful, the location
healthy, churches aud Sunday schools
abundant, and society in Oxford where
the Institution is located, is refined and ele-
CANT. Therc is a local law iorbidding the
retailing OF liquor within five miles of the
University. Therefore she morals OF the
community are unusually good. Tu-
itiou IS free to candidates for the
ministry, and is only SIS per session
for others. Board can be had for from $40
to SIS ermonth washing, $3.50 per month

dent does not room IN the dormitories, SIS:
if he does a damage fee of - per session is
charged, but is returned If no damages are
committed An initiation characterization
fee Of 50 is charged. but only once for the
whole college course. Lodging ia the
University buildings is free. You per
ceive that whilst we have one O
the best Universities in the Union, we alsC
have one Of the very cheapest. l am reliably
Informed hat some of the best students W
have ever had, have got along at the Uni
versity on $500 per session, Of ten months
comfortable and respectfully.
TIE expenses OF obtaining an education
at the University have been reduced t,
correspond with the impoverished condi
tion OF our people. The press of the Stat
have come up handsomely to the assistance
Of the Institution, and \ bright future an
increasing patronage IS confidently ex
pected. Let pareRts reflect that cheir son
