CANAAN, Oct. 28, 1882
 EDITOR OF NEWS II am glad "W.
 S." wrote that letter about his potatoe crop last week. I have had 8 notion for some time that potatoes might be made leading crop with us, and the letter of ''W. s. made me think that perhaps after all my notion was not practical. After little figuring find that am not coming out quite so well as I had anticipated on my two acres of potatoes My crop has cost me for labor and fertilizers about $12O.OO, and have dug from my two acres but tride over hundred d bushels-fully one-third of the crop having routed, and perhaps 8 tenth being too small for market. My surplus I have sold at sixty cents a bushel so it will readily be seen that even had I escaped the rot my crop could hardly be called success. These figures are no more encouraging to a young farmer, than to 'EW. S." but don't propose to give it up when know that four and five hundred bushels have been raised on an acre this season with in ten miles of my farm. I think the diff hcultY lies in our over-confdence in the productiveness of our farms. 'sW. S." thought four hundred pounds o1 phosphate was enough to make an acre and half of the s'best land on his farm produce a paying crop of potar toes" do not believe that the best land on the best farm in town would

-Dr. O. w. Camp alighted rather unceremoniously last Friday, while rid ing near 'sUnderwood's ditch" The Dr. $ horse, which is spirited one, be- came manageable in consequence of the breaking of one of the lines, and finding himself at liberty to go as he locity that caused the buggy to capsize, ed. Regardless of which side of the car riage was uppermost the flyer proceeded towards East Canaan, but before going far he evidently changed his mind and faced about, freeing himself from har- ness and carriage, leaving fragments along the way from ''the place of begin ming to stake and stone" on Dr. C.'s premises in this village.
 The lecture given Monday evening, at Village Improvement Hall, by Prof. Charles Northend, attracted an audience of about one hundred, who listened attentively to the very interest ing discourse on Lafayette. After 8 brief introductory address by Prof. Taft, MT. Northend was introduced, who immediately began his discourse, which was full of interesting informa- tion of the man, who in time of the col onist's greatest distress, aided them both financially and in person. After the lec- ture vote of thanks was rendered MT. Northend in appreciation of the interest he had taken in giving the society so able discourse.
 The autumn days have come-but not ''the saddest of the year, for seldom hoc, f,71 4ho, a4 present. A party who visited the sum- init of Canaan mountain last Friday, ex- press themselves as being almost en- chanted with the grand views around and below. The skilled artists brush may produce on canvass picture to be ad- mired, but can make no approach to the variegated autumn hues that adorn na- ture and the grand landscape views of the Housatonic valley. The absence of frost until quite recently has given foi- age an opportunity to ripen before fal- ling from the trees, making the forests a very picture of paradise, and stimulating the beholder with desire that the scene may never change.
 Our special reporter and musical critic, attended the concert last week, at Salisbury, by Prof Rocco Laraja and orchestra, of Pittsfeld. The principal attraction of the evening was "Roxy," as he is familiarly known at home, a young man of decidedly foreign cut of features, although of very pleasing appearance both on the stage and socially. This was his first appearance in this vicinity as soloist but his reputation had pre- ceeded him and full house greeted him. He Is certainly a violinist whose future career, judging from his rendi- tion of his solos, will place him in the front rank of masters of that most diff cult instrument. The only fault we have to mention is an error which a great majority of frst-class musicians fall into, in rendering class of music too deep in character to be appreciated by majority of listeners. Prof Lara ia was supported by first-class orches- tra and pianist.

respond freely to such a pittance. I used nine hundred pounds per acre, besides considerable ashes and plaster. Next year shall use at least twelve hundred pounds per acre. A tobacco grower would be fool to expect pay ing crop from an outlay of six dollars on an acre, for fertilizers. I don't know why we should expect impossibilities from the potatoe. The time is past when paying crops of corn, tobacco or pota- toes can be raised in New England, without manure. Let me do @ little figuring Four hundred bushels of potatoes at fifty cents would come to two hundred dollars supposing the cultivation, marketing &c., cost forty dollars, it can be done for less by the use of labor saving machines) supposing it takes ton of phosphate, costing forty-fve dollars, to grow this crop. On these suppositions one acre of potatoes nets us one hundred and fifteen dollars. Then if, after this ''W S." can't get catch of grass seed, he might well afford to put the odd fifteen dollars on his acre in the shape of a top dressing of six hundred lbs. phosphates. This looks all right on paper, but l am young and inexperienced. Will some old farmer please tell where the kink is Meanwhile shall lay my plans to prove my figures in the field next season.
