pany had for the safety of our President,
who at the Colonel's table deyoured such
quantities Of goose. that at times he be-
lieved himself to be one, and when We
approached water he was determined to
get into it, although very carefully not
to get much water into himself) In or.

company, we plucked a few feathers from
his wings, and at last delivered him safe
upon the Vermont side, where no doubt
he is at this time floating upon the waters
of the Connecticut, which flows past his
farm in Maidstone, seeking for cornpan-

THE PorATo Ror-A correspondent of
the Scientific Farmer has discovered signs
Of the rot among his potatoes-which he
defines TO be ga little parasitic plant Of
the Fungus order, which lives upon the
substance of the potato. 1t is first no.
ticed on the under side of the leaves. in
the form of light frost, rapidly spread
ing and turning the foliage brown as it
spreads through the plant. The threads
OF the little plant are sent stealing through
the tissue Of the leaf, afterwards passing
down the stems and finally reaching the
tubers. The frosty appearance Of the
affected leaves is due to a multitude of
threads which pass out the breathing
pores Of the leaves and then branch and
bear multitude Of spores. 1t is these
spores which rapidly propagate and spread
the disease when it has once made It's ap-
pearance in a potato field" He recon-
mends that as soon as the vines show this
frosty appearance, with a curling and
blackening of the foliage, the potatoes
should be dug and put in a dry, cool
place, thus removing the tubers before the
rot plant has reached them. The tops
and diseased tubers should be burned as
a precaution against next year.

THE George y. WRIGHT.

A dispatch from Victoria. British
columbia. seems to confirm former re-
ports relative to the murder of the
passengers of this Inflated steamer, by
Indians. The information is derived
from the officers of government YES
sci dispatched to the scene of the sup
posed murder. The officers learned
enough to convince them that several
of the shipwrecked persons got ashore
with papers aud large sums of money.
and bargained with the Indians, who
were going to Victoria, to take them.
The whites were without arms and at
might when they were asleep the In
'dians murdered them and divided the
money, which they spent upon reach
ing Victoria. The officers found no
property except portion of the wreck.
They demanded four men who were
suspected of completely in the murder.
The Indians refused to surrender them,
but the officers secured two of the sus-
pected savages and made tor their
boats. after which they shelled and
burned the Indian village.
