A study of the potato plant teaches us that the best soil is a warm light loam that will not pack or cake around the tubers. The best manure is that which is soluble, we'll balanced, free from weed seeds and ferments. It should be placed all over the field so that the roots must stretch out for it. The best time to work the soil deeply is before planting. An extra blowing is better than three deep cultivations. If the ground could only be perfectly pull verized before planting, there wonld be no need of cultivating deeper than l 1-2 inches any time during the season and then only to kill weeds or to conserve moisture. The potato offers a fine chance for those who are willing to grow crops for their quality. Potatoes of good size and free from scab or other blemish, and which cook out dry and mealy, are products that any man can afford to build reputation on. It will pay any farmer to study out the variety, soil, fertilizer and culture that will yield him the best tubers.-[ Rural New York

BRIDGEPORT.

An entertainment was given in Grace Methodist church, Colorado avenue, on Thursday evening, March 3l, by Miss Adelaide Westcott representing a tour through Switzerland with an imaginary Aunt Jane and followed by an imaginary count whose attentions to Aunt Jane were very marked. The monologue was common place and uninteresting but was very well rendered. Her rendition of IA Naughty Girl in a Hotel' was excellent, as was also the Scottish ballad, ''Cuddle Doon."

 Rev Dr Fairbairn, the principal of Mansfield college, Oxford, England, a personal friend and guest of Rev Dr Charles Ray Palmer, occupied the pulpit of the North Congregational church, Sunday, April 3, both morning and even- ing, preaching to delighted audiences. In the evening, the church was crowded to it's utmost capacity, the congregations of the South Congregational and the Presbyterian churches of this city and the Stratford Congregational church, with their pastors, uniting in the service, the several pastors. occupying the plat form with Dr Palmer. Dr Fairbairn most eloquently portrayed the great ben ediction bestowed upon the world by the crucifixion of Christ. The self righteous Pharisee accused Christ of working his divine miracles by the power of Beelze- bub. The power of God conferred upon the universe. The chief priest, full of cunning, the negation of wisdom, declar- ed that it was expedient that one man should die for the good of the nation and that the man Christ Jesus should be the sacrifice. The cross, the symbol of shame, of ignominy, of obloquy, at the touch of Christ, became the symbol of all that was divinest and most helpful to man. In the worlds progress since Christ was crucified, the cross stands every where as the synonym of all that is pro- gressive, pure, elevating and holy.

Miss Irene is the eldest daughter of Senator
Everett of Hyde street. The family have
always held high position in society, and
the young girl with her dignity, gentle man

position wherever she may wander. That
she will be missed by her friends and ad
mirers here there is not doubt, and rumor
says that her departure has left void in a
certain young gentleman's heart Although
not a native of this State, Miss Everett has
spent most of her life here. She can claim
Japan as the place of her nativity, but was
brought TO this country when so young that
she knows but little of the Orient. She has
received splendid education, is well versed
in the literature of the day-speaks French,
Is a thorough musician and adores poetry.

to tell some delightful stories of the life
within his mothers house during that
winter, which was, by the way. marked by
the most terrific snOwstorms known in that
region in generation. Mrs. Washington

their best silks and ruffies they found her
dressed very plainly, with a speckled apron
on, and knitting industrously pair of
stockings for the general She kept on
knitting too, and her only apology was the
remark that she thought women of every
class in America ought to ply the needle,
the spinning wheel and the loom, in order
to acquire real indedendence of Great
Britain. Martha Washington knitting
stockings for her husband made the fine
ladies thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
Another little anecdote Is aproD0s. When
Washington entered the Ford house he had
an inventory made of the articles appropri-
ated for his own use, ana before he de-
parted he asked Mrs. Ford if everything
had been returned to her "All but one
