One of our readers, " no has had great
deal of experience in the cultivation OF potA-
tees, as well other crops, requests US to
publish the article below, as be knows the
same TO be correct in many respects. The arti-
Gle was first published in some of the Eastern
Shore papers, having been written by DR.. J.
lack Taylor, a well-known physician and
agriculturist Of that section. He says:
s.Tbe time has arrived to warn the whole
people against buying Irish or round potatoes
that are green in color, either for planting or
eating purposes. Examine your potatoes, and
if YOU find dark or green spots thrust your
finger nail INFO it and remove part OF the skin
and YOU will find the potato is green. This is
caused by the use of Paris Green and other
preparatioDs of arsenic upon the vines TO Kill
the potato bug. The great bulk of green pota-
toes are evidently poisonous and not fit TO be
eaten by man or beast; and man might as
well saw that external applications cannot affect
the internal organs of the body, as to say Paris
Green applied to vines cannot and will not af-
feet the root OF course, certain percentage
of the article is appropriated by atmospheric
changes; but i, must not be forgotten that the
earth is a great absorbent, and from repeated
applications during the growing season,
enough would be taken into the potato TO pro-
duce the banefu effect described How shall
we get rid of these poisonous potatoes? Don't
buy them either as food or seed. How shall
we prevent the using of Paris Green and other
arsenical compounds upon potato vines LEG
isate against it. What shall we use as sub
situte for'Paris Green and other deadly prepar-
atoms to kill the potato bug? The following
is a sovereign remedy besides it is good ferti-
izer to both the plant and the soil Unslaked
lime, l peck water, 10 gallons mix and stir
until slaked, then add 10 pounds of sulphur /;
set this Oh the fire and let it boil an hour or so,
them remove from the fire. This is called liquid
su lphde of lime, which will kill rose bugs,
peach horers and other parasites. Next take
10 pounds snuff dust refuse (found at the fac
tories or 20 pounds tobacco refuse, (snufi
dust preferred,) and pour ten gallons boiling
water upon it, and let it stand half day
Then mix the sulphur lime with the snuff dus,
mixture together, set on the FIRE and let it come
to a boil stirring all the time, and set aside to
cool. Then after stirring the MIXTURE sprinkle
as much as is necessary on the vines contain.
ing the potato bug, and the result will be
gratifying indeed. Persons with small patches
of potatoes need only make portion of this
! mixture at time

How TO Exterminale Sorrel.

Many farmers are greatly troubled With a
growth of sorrel upon their lands which is an
indication Of neglect and exhausted fertility
The weed, however, appears upon land in
good tilth in seasons when extreme drought
prevails, or upon siicous dry ridges. The
test way to exterminate the pest is to sow bone
dust mixed with ashes and plaster. One bar
re of raw bone dust, with Two of ashes and
half barrel of plaster will serve TO drive out
the sorrel on quarter of an acre of ground, if
applied after deep ploughing.

The Claims Of the Reg

The Baltimore Sans Annapolis correspon-

to the claims of the registration officers for
additional compensation, upon which the
Court of Appeals passed in recent decision
The money due the registers of voters in
accordance with the late decision of Court OF
Appeals has not yet been paid, as there seems
to be difference of opinion as to the meaning
of the courts opinion. Comptroller Heating
and Messrs Revell and Ireland, counsel for
the registers, intend asking the Court of APP
peas on Thursday for supplemental opinion
defining more clearly what the registers are
entitled to under the decision and the character
of the proof necessary to verify the claim. In
the meanw lille, many ANXIOUS inquiries are be-
ing made of the comptroller by the registers,
allhous most of them are adopting III" method
of getting their money by sending orders to
the counsel to collect ii of the comptroller. A.
there are nearly three hund ed registers EMIT
led TO the extra salary" under the decision, and
as the amounts claimed vary i'll many cases,
the task Of the comptroller in adjusting these
claims is quite aboriouS one. Comptroller
Heating will be in Annapolis Thursday in
reference 10 the matter.

Closing Exercises at Charlotte Hall.

The closing exercises of Charlotte Hall
Academy which occurred on Thursday, the
18th inst, are said to have been the most sue
cessful and brilliant of the kind that the
institution has held for many years. AS we
ANTICIPATED last week, IA very large crowd as
sembled from this and the adjoining counties,
many of them friends and relatives of the
students, and still great many more, remem-
bering past experiences of the kind, went to
enjoy the exhibition and ball. number of
the old graduates of the school Of many years
ago were also present, and seemed to recall
with pleasure the Iecollections Of their school
boy days in this old institution. Nine young
gentlemen composed the graduating class and
received their diplomas as follows: G. d.
Lancaster, Warning Thomas, J. F. Shemwell,
Theodore Smoot, VIM. Penn Compton, Frank
keech, W. S. Brown, T. NJ. Carpenter and J.
NJ. Henry.
One of the most attractive features of the
CONNIE ncement exercises was the competitive
drill! between the two complains, A and B. Both
had been splendidly trained under the COM
mand of Captain Sylvester, a graduate Of Lex
ington Military Institute, and it was difficult
for the committee, composed of General James
r. Herbert, Captain W. NJ. Muschette and
Captain Henry Thomas, to decide which e1-
called in military precision and soldierly bear
ing. 1t was at length concluded that company
B, Captain Bowen, was entitled to the gold
medal, and it was awarded TO that company
Tho l.vipr of tho CORNERSTONE IF tho Nemar;.l
Church was another attractive feature of the
exercises. Hatch Dent, Esq, who died some
years ago in Georgetown, d. c., before his
death requested his children 10 erect church
to the memory of his father, who had been the
first principal of Charlotte Hail. The church
is built of Cheat river stone at cost of Sll, 000
and the cornerstone was inserted Thursday OF
last week. The edi6ce is nearly completed
The windows are mostly memorials of the Dent
family. 1t will be fitted up with ash pews,
Surrounding the chapel are the graves of many
o the family, whose names ii is built in men,
DRY OF, among them being the Rev. Henry Dent,
the first principal Of Charlotte Hall School " no
filled that position flem 1896 TO 1899.
Colonel John W. Southron delivered the
diplomas TO the graduating class and Dr. z.
W. Hawkins, in his usual happy and edifying
delivered the closing address to the
students. The exercises closed with q grand
ball at night, at which We5ers band, from
Baltimore, furnished the music. 1t was very
handsome affair, there being present many
of the bellies of this and the adjoining counties
a nd from Washington and Georgetown. Dane
ing was kept up uhril an early hour.

Wednesday last was the 10th anniversary
Of the birth of this nation and is celebrated
throughout this county us a national holiday
and day of recreation. In the ancient village
OF Port Tobacco the day was quietly We may
say lonesomely spent, by the few citizens who re-
manned at home, most of our people and many
from the surrounding country no might other
wise have come here, going 10 other place.
where greater attractions and more varied
amusemen,s were offered. The residents in
the lower section Of the county we're the mos,
fortunate ones in the sources of amusement
offered for their pleasure, and We learn thai
all who could possibly spare the time from
their crops avai!ed themselves of The opporiu-
nifty of enjoying the pleasures offered by Count
Milkewicz At Lancaster's Wharf or By Henry
Bros a, Lower Cedar Point. At Lancasier's
the crowd Was not as large expected but
those that assembled enjoyed themselves With
the ADJUSTMENTS the Court offered. Or. F. VI.
Lancaster made one of his happy and pleasant
little speeches and Nr S. E. Mudd delivered an
Grafton. The Loaf race came Of and was won
by the Cord Thompson, sailed by Capt.
Gibson. AT Lower Cedar Point the
steamer Armenia brought down very
large crowd from Washington and these with
the couply Ieorle no had assembled swelled
the crowd 10 goodly proportions. Dancing
was one Of the great attractions at this place,
and the young people especially INDUCED il
this amusement 10 their hearts ,onientas they
always consider that this is the best way OF
enjo! ing or celebrating any occasion. There
was a large exclusion at both Marshall Hall and
Glymon, but, We learn, that few Of our citizens
took part in either and the day was quietly
spent by the city folks who sought day Of
recreation at these pleasant resorts. The de-
batting club OF Pomonkey gave an entertain
MEET at that place which was largely attended
and greatly enjoyed.
