EDITOR DEMOCRAT:-After my return
to Millersburg from Canton, in con-
versatiOn with friends, spoke of my
pleasant and enjoyable visit at the meet
ing of the Stark County horticultural
Society on the 9th ult. In speaking of
the many excellent and beautiful arti-
cles on exhibition, spoke of Mr.. Benz.
FultOn's early rose potatoes, and said Mr.
f. claimed there is a secret in prOduc-
ing them so early in the season in this
latitude, and which he was not at lib
erty to diVulge.
A farmer residing within mile and
a half of Millersburg, hearing the con-
YersatiOn, said: "FTOm the description
you give of Mr.. FultOn's potatoes,
believe l have plenty of them growing
in my patch, as large if not larger"
He said he knew of no secret about
growing early potatoes. He thought
any farmer, having an early sunny To-
cation, with dry, rich, sandy loan,
plant early varieties and plant them
shallow, give them frequent and good
cultivation, and keep off all bugs and
other injurious insects. To grow them
extra early, as soon as the planting is
finished, cover the hills or rows with a
little fresh, warm stable manure. This
keeps the ground from freezing should
cold weather set in, and when 1t be-
comes fine and settled, scratch off a
little of the manure and the potato tops
will soon make their appearance.
On Saturday, July 1st, the farmer
brought me half-peck basket of very
fine early rose potatoes, the majority OF
them being as large and fine as Mr..
FultOn's best specimens, and probably

amount of work done, is any the less
carefully finished, but there is blessed
relief from the heavy discussions, which
more remarkable for wind than brains,
have characterized former gatherings.
Some of the COuncilmen are in favor of
adjOurning for four weeks, during the
heated term, and taking a needed Vaca

any means.

Celebration and Surprise Near New Berlin

Celebration and Surprise Near New Berlin.
Mr.. EDIToR-Having had the pleasure
of spending the 4th of July at a birth
day festival among old friends, near
New Berlin, we give your readers the
particulars. We were invited by an old
and esteemed friend, Jesse Harter, to be
present at the birthday celebration of
his wife, DebOra, on the 4th of July. We
accepted the invitation, as New Berlin
had been the place of our residence for
13 years, from 1856 to 1869. Our old
friend Jesse had managed the whole
affair in such manner that his wife
knew nothing of what was going on un-
til the large procession of guests ap-
preached the residence. 1t was so ar
ranged that the guests met in the fore
noon in New Berlin. At IL o'clock the
procession, with Rev. Geo. Yung, of Canal
Fulton, at its head, started for the resi-
dence. Jesse had sent neighbOr ahead
to prevent DebOra from making a visit
to some of her neighbOrs. Mrs. Harter
seeing the procession come down the
road, remarked to her visitor that she
| thought that must be wedding process
sion, as preacher Yung was at the head
of it. Coming to the yard the gate was
opened and about go guests were in the
lady's presence cOngratulating her or
her 64th birthday.
At 1 o'clock two large tables were
loaded with a splendid repast. Among
the guests from a distance we're Jere
miah Harter and family from SUNNI
county, and Solomon Everhard and fami
ly and Geo. Shook and family from Me
dina county. Several hours in the after
noon were agreeably spent, and afte
Mrs. DebOra Harter had been presented
with number of fine presents the as
sembly dispersed.
Jesse Harter and his wife have live
together A years, and have 8 children
who are yet living, four in Stark county
one in Summit, one (Rev. Geo. HarteI
in Indiana, and two in Kansas. Ma
the prayer of our old friends cOntinu
to be that found in Ps. II, IS: "Now alsC
when 1 am old and gray-headed, o Goo
fOrsake me not; until L have Shove
thy strength unto this generation, an
thy power to every one that is to come.

Fred Link is a butcher and cattle
buyer living in the southern part of the
city, and part of his business is going
through the country picking up stock
for butchers. On the 1st of July he
went to the house of a Mr.. Johnson, Iiv-
ing few miles north of the city, and
bought calf, promising to call and pay
for it on the morning of the Sd, but he
did not go until the following day, July
4th, and when he arrived at JOhnsOn's
house, he found no one at home. So he
took the calf, put it into his wagon and
drove to ShTiveT's residence, a neighbOr
living close by. Here he found Mrs.
Elizabeth ShTiver
ALONE IN THE HOUSE,
to whom he explained that he had calf
from JOhnsOn's and wished to leave four
dollars to pay for the animal. The
woman states that Link caught hold of
her, threw her over on a bed and out
ragged her person, amid fruitless strug-
giles on her part for release. She is
about forty years old. Link was ar
rested on Monday night, and taken be-
fore Justice B. F. Faust, where he de-
MED the charge, saying that it was
nothing but case of blackmail. He
was bound over in the sum of $500,
with CharlesN. Frank as security, for a
hearing next Monday, July 18th.
