covered with game, while the waters OF th.

amusing discussion took place at the
breakfast table in which Patsy Clark as.
serted that there vas no such thing as the
irish potato; that they first grew in Ameri.
ca and were therefore American potatoes
and not Irish. Major J.. M. Burke. j. S.
Dickerson and Others took part in the dis
cussion and were OF the opinion that the
i,otato was Irish and first of Ir sh growth.
It was finally agreed to leave it TO Prof.
Clayton, who was better posted in potato
history, and he decided the question by
that potatoes were first grown 10
South America, were transplanted to Ire
land and afterwards to Virginia, much to
the dlscomforture OF Major Burke, who is a
OF Virginia and not often downed on
any subject. So Mr.. Clark carried the day
and settled the potato question to his en-

whose wild beauty the traveller can

notably important feature of this town. for
it is Que of the prettiest posts in the West.
There are five companies here-one caval-

The two priests who ~superintended the build

sort OF terrace lat the foot of high cliffs
lverhanging the limpid waters OF the lake,
which the hawthorn and wild

makes this trip should fail TO take a walk
