Fire.— We regret to hay that the incendiaries are still at their devilish work in our .town.— On Saturday morning, last, between, two and three o’clock, the’large frame carpenter shop in Chapel Alley, owned and occupied by Mr. Henry Myers, was fired by some scoundrel Or scoundrels, and'totally destroyed, together with all Mr. Mtebs’ tools, seven sets of tools belonging to his journeymen, and also a large quantity oif lumber and ready-made work. It was raining at the time the fire’broke out, or a great amount of other property might have been destroyed. Our energetic firemen were promptly upon the ground, and, as usual, work ed manfully to save the adjoining properties.— Mr. Myers offers a reward of SlOO for the ap prehension and conviction of the incendiaries. Union Fire Company Fair. —By reference to their card in another column, it will be seen that the members of the Union Fire Company have concluded to hold a Fair in Rheem’s Hall, commencing on the 11th of October, and to con tinue for four days, the proceeds to bo applied to the-payment of the debt ontheir new Engine house. We hope to see the Fair liberally pa tronized by all our citizens. Miss Riohinqs’s Concert.—' That celebra ted and accomplished singer, Miss BwniNGS, will give a concert at Rueem’s Hall, on the eve ning of October 4. We are pleased to be able to state that Miss R. has entirely recovered ftova her recent illness, and sings with her usu al sweetness and spirit. She is accompanied by her father, Mr. Peter Richings, and by Prof. Jarvis, the popular pianist from Phila delphia. J&Soa king Rain.—lt commenced to rain in this vicinity early on Friday morning last, and continued moderately all day and night. On Saturday the rain descended in torrents, giving our streets the appearance of running rivers.— Sunday morning, however, was ushered in with bright sun shine, and a warm atmosphere.— We notice by our exchanges that the rain was general all over the country, east, west,.north, and south, and in some places it was accompa nied by terrific wind. . York;- County- Fair .—We acknowledge the receipt of a‘complimentary ticket of admission to the Annual Exhibition of the York County Agricultural Society, to be held at York, on the 4th, sth, 6th and 7th days of October. The Society, we are pleased to learn, is in a very flourishing condition. THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. Democrats, it is for you to say whether this ticket shall Bo elected or defeated. That the opposition are determined to inake a strong ef fort to elect their ticket is evident. They will nse every means in their power to accomplish their purposes. They hope, by circulating all sorts of stories, to excite Democrats to vote against some of our candidates. Democrats, will you not disappoint the expectations of your political enemies ? We feel confident you will. Stick to the' Democratic ticket, then —vote the ticket, and the whole ticket. This is tho only safe course. Suppose you did prefer other men to those nominated for tho different offices, what can you gain by making opposition now ? By opposing the ticket you assist the Black Repub licans to gain a victory—and can this afford any gratification to a true Democrat 1 There is nothing we dislike so much as to hear a De mocrat, after a ticket has been nominated, threaten to “bolt" from its support. Before the nominations have been made every one has a right to urge the claims of his friends, but af ter a ticket has been selected, it is incumbent upon every Democrat to forget all personal con siderations, and yield a willing support to the wishes of the majority. Then be up and doing, Democrats—frown upon the efforts making by the opposition to seduce you from duty. Stick to the ticket, we repeat; and-thns sustain-your characterfor Democracy. tCT* - We wish our Democratic friends to bear in-mind'that the Republicans 'are very confi dently boasting that they will carry their Gounty ticket this' fall—especially do they ap pear sanguine of electing three of their candi dates. And to effect this end they are directing all their energies, and using every means, fair as well as foul: Now, we have nothing to say against the Opposition candidates, except that they are Republicans, who are bitterly hostile to the Democratic party, and Occupying this position, they have no right to expect Demo crats to vote for them. The Democratic tick et, from top to bottom, is composed of capable and deserving men—men whoso qualifications, are admitted, and whose characters arer beyond -reproach. Let us then, one and' all, yield a hearty support to the whole ticket. This is the duty of the party, and, by discharging this duty fully and energetically, to the very letter, ■we-may, calculate with certainly, upon victory. “PRINCIPLES, NUT MEN,” This sentiment, worthy of all -ootamendatien, and desenring of everlasting remembrance, should bo “the beginning and end” of sound : Democratic action. In the early struggles of r our party, it was the prop of its organization— inspired it with an energy and a vitality it could derive from no other source, and crowned it wiili triumph and our country with unequal led blessings. Of late years, there has been a growing tendency to put up meii’in the place of principles— to trample down all organization, and erect in its place a standard of raan-wor ship, as demoralizing to Democratic sentiment as it is ruinous to Democratic success. We honor and encourage the attachments men form to each Other, within.the body of our organiza tion, and in conformily with its principles, but we deprecate and denounce that feeling which would cause professing Democrats to follow a wherever his vagaries and their personal attachment to him, might lead. Such a course is certain ruin to those who rebel, and to the party, if it permits it. If a Democrat differs from the vast majority of his party, upon any subordinate or even cardinal principle, that, in itself, is no cause for insubordination. He may retain liis opinion, and still keep within our organization—aye, by his warm and earnest support of the body of our faith, he may con tribute greatly to its triumph; -but when he sacrifices all else to his isolated opinion on a single point, and with insufferable arrogance calls on the great majority to fall down and worship him and his idolized notion, or he will pull down the pillars.of our temple, then a point is reached when the man should be rebuked, to save the principle. When this extremity is reached in a man's defection, the law of self preservation becomes doubly' natural, and the process of eradication commences. When the keenness of the knife Is felt at the scat of the disease , the disorganizer, aided by the combined opposition to the Democratic party, yell out most vociferously, “proscription, proscription.” Proscription, indeed 1 Would the board of health of any of our largo cities be cried down because they removed from the heart of a healthy population, by force of law, a mass of vegetable refuse, which was disseminating in? fection and death ? Should a healthy, Ijfe-giv ing political organization, whose principles and existence are the prop of the republic, aye, its very life, bo less exacting with a man whose teachings are at utter variance with its long and openly avowed opinions, sacredly cherished and earnestly maintained by ninety-nipe hum dreths of its members? Should it not rather say to such an one—“get you gone, and carry your vagaries with you—we want no treason in our ranks—we would rather lop off a right hand or pluck - out a right eye, than our whole body should become diseased.” Men may change, but principles are eternal. Out of (his foolish and suicidal effort to make a party with many and sound principles, suc cumb to a man with one idea and that hetero dox, has grown the dishonorable practice of re fusing support to a regularly nominated ticket, made hy a regularly called, elected and organ ized Convention ; and this too, when they indi rectly, by voting for the members that composed the Convention, or directly as Delegates in the Convention, assisted in framing the ticket. -For either of-those,, vetor or delegate, to refuse his support to a ticket made by his instramentajity, upon any other ground save the integrity of the nominee, is downright political and moral dis honesty. Wo speak plainly and mean what we say j wo know the great mass of the party in this county, and wq can say with equal confi dence, the democracy of the nation will endorse what wo say— it is downright dishonesty and un pardonable rebellion. No man or men, after taking part in our deliberations, ayo, after tra velling the county or country, and thrusting tho claims of their particular friends in the very nostrils of the voters, have tho right to plot the defeat oi-a candidate, for whose place on the ticket their friend was an aspirant. Such petty and miserable piques are unworthy of any man claiming to be a Democrat. Because their choice was defeated fairly, and in open Conven tion, should not cause disaffection—on the con trary, they should “ pull off their coats and roll up their sleeves” and go to work right manlully for the successful nominee. ’ln doing this, they would evince their gratitude to tho Convention for entertaining the name of their friend and their loyalty to our organization. We hare nothing but pity and scorn for those men who would check the onward march of our party, because their self-interest and self-importance was not consulted in the nomination of their own particular friend. If wo are compelled tospeak thus plainly of men who defy and would defeat the very organ ization that made them whaMhoy are—who owe all they possess of worldly goods or political status, to tho fostering caro of tho Democratic party—who like a thankless child, now that they are full, “ cram and blaspheme their feeder,” what shall wo say of that other class of tho dis affected, who submit their namesfor nomination, and because tho Convention (as their base con duct subsequently proves,) acted wisely in re fusing- them tho confidence of-tho nomination, wheel on ,their heels and refuse support to the action of tho very Convention before whom they were humble suppliants. Such men should bo pilloried for life, that tho world might see who are they who bring disgrace on politics. They compose tho traders in the spoils, who arc novel satisfied unless tho'bargain is all on their side. It is time the party everywhere, branded those men as the mere camp-followers of our orgaui. zation. If the triumph of principle is our object, then it can only bo achieved by persistently clinging to party organization, and leaving disaffected mon and their potty griefs to the charming com panionship of (heir “ own kidney.” *We earn estly urge a faithful support of our principles— our party organization and tho whole ticket.— This done, it will eventuate in a victory that will prove a stunning blow to those misguided tow who prefer men to principles. , Proclivities- op the Delegates. —Of the delegates to the Charleston Convention, chosen at Syracuse, 26 aro supposed to bp for Dickin son, 21 for Douglas, 8 for Seymour, 9 for Guth rie, 4 for Wise, T for Hunter, 1 for Cobb, 1 for -Holt, 2 for Buchaman; and 1 for Orr.

IJiJMIN’S LECTURES. ■PARK ir On last Thursday and Friday evenfngs we had tho ploa'suro of hearing tho two opening Lectures delivered.in Rheom’s new Hall, by Pauk BENiiknu, Esq., of Now York. Tbd large and intelligent audience assembled on tbo first was. sufficient evidence that tho fame of the Lecturer had preceded hiin. It was equally evident, from a similar attendance, (in spite of tho r.'dn on Friday night,) that a per sonal hearing only served to confirm the good report. After ft handsome compliment to the enter prise and public spirit of the proprietor of the new Hall, and the payment of his respects to ft certain Now York editor,'for ft late notice of himself, Mr. Benjamin commenced the dolivoiy of hisflrst lecture—a.Focmon “The Press.” It opened with some brilliant dashes at the weak points of tho Weeklies; went on to supply the Pictorials with A fresh stock of cuts; advanced to a consideration of the somewhat doubtful dignity of tho Dailies; and concluded with a series of Editorial Likenesses, in which the verbal portrait-painting was done with such skill as to need no formal labeling, for the identifica tion of tho originals. During tire presentation of this group, it seemed to ns, that in one in. stance the artist had adopted a novel instrument for the production of his msthotic effects, tho. colors appearing to have been laid, on with the raw hide rather than with tho pencil. It would bo foreign to the purpose of this brief notice, to inquire by what law of association, metaphy sical, or ((perhaps) simply historical, this de parture from tho ordinary implements and de vices of art, may have been suggested. - Tho second lecture, was upon “ Marriage;” a subject as popular in its theoretic consideration as'it is in its practical consequences! and unlike any other, doing double duty, not only by de lighting audiences, but also by furnishing audi ences to bo delightedi It was an entertaining compound of sound doctrine, impracticable ad vice, consolation to those already in “holy bonds,” and considerable stimulus to those who had not yet entered into the same. At tho end of this lecture, which was in prose, wo were unexpectedly treated to the reading, by request, of an amusing poem, entitled, we believe, “The History of Jacob Jones; or, Impossible to Fail.” Its recitation was frequently interrupted by out bursts of laughter and applause. It was alight and agreeable afterpiece, happily relieving the mind from the excitement and strain attendant upon tho prolonged contemplation of the pro ceeding knotty and hazardous topic. Mr. Benjamin’s delivery is. distinct; varied, and animated. Ho. sustains the matter of his lectures by an appropriate manner. Ho fdliy understands and uses the legitimate artifices, as well as the profonnder rules and .principles of his profession. After carrying us along for some time, from point, to point, in tho modern, mental great coach of tho lecture room, smooth ly, easily, rapidly, by a strict logical gradation, there is a. sudden change of highway, and our I ribs aro wholesomely shaken and jolted for a few minutes, over the abrupt transition of anec dote and witticism. In this manner ho fixes and holds the attention of his audience from start-, ing point to depot. It is easy- to she thaldre' possesses the elements of tho. populSrity which ho has so .distinctly achieved. Wo have no doubt that all who heard him on Thursday and Friday last, went away entertained and interest. „ed, and that not a few would bo happy to hear him again at no distant date. The notice of these lectures would be incom plete without'stating that they were enlivened by the music of tho Carlisle Brass Band. And , in conclusion, it may not bo out of place to say a word or two about tiio now Hal). .Wo repeat the good opinion which wo have formerly ex pressed. It is a valuable addjtion to fho im provements and conveniences of our borough. The citizens of Carlisle have long felt tho want of a Public Hall for lectures and popular enter tainments. Rueem’s Hall meets this want by all the desirable conditions of central situation, easy access, and neat and comfortable internal arrangements. Wo would suggest, however, that tho drop-curtain bo thickened in some way, unless it is intended that each entertainment shall bo preceded by a little amusing pantomime, not precisely laid down in the programme. It is our cordial wish .that the new Hall may prove, in every respect, as great a success to the pro prietor, as it is a convenience and ornament to our town. A, NOBLE SENTIMENT. “Lex us cling tothe Constitution as the Mariner clings to-the last plank when the, Night and Tempest close around him.” A noble thought, and npbly expressed by a great statesman, now deceased, but the sentiment should bo deeply engraven on the heart of eve ry patriot throughout the broad extent of tho Republic. The Constitution 'ol our common country is tho mighty yEgis behind which wo all take shelter, and to Whose protection wo are in debted tor tho blessings, civil religious and po liticalj wo enjoy. Let this shield be removed from us—let it bo battered and broken by the’ missiles of taction and tanalacism—and whore, then would bo our glorious Union ? The Re public would bo scattered to tho four winds of IloaVen, and wo would soon become a laughing stock and a derision amongst the nations of the earth. No—no. Let us cherish the Constitu tion as tho anchor of all our earthly hopes, and teach our children to' revere it,' Let us frown down tho first attempt to weaken its obligations, or to disregard the Injunctions it imposes. It was tho work of our Revolutionary fathers — formed by their wisdom under the guidance of Heaven—and should be kept sacred as a cher ished memento to their priceless toils and un sullied patriotism. Let us cling to it as the hope of the world, the beacon light to guide all nations in tho pathway of true freedom and na. lional liberty. Let us cling to it lor the regard we have for the memory of our fathers] let us cling to it for our own protection and tho inte rests of our children; let us cling to it as a price less boon ft-om high Heaven, and hand it down] unbroken and unsullied, from generation to gen eration, until the last day of earth shall have come and time itself be swallowed up in a nev er-ending eternity. fty Notwithstanding.thc storm on Saturday, the Webster statue was.inaugurated at Boston on that day. Addresses appropiipato to the occasion wero made by Governor Banks, Mayor Lincoln, and Professor Felton. Hon. Edward Everett delivered the oration, which is said to' have been a masterly effort. Discharged prom the Hanoverian Arm?. —The State Department at Washington has information from Mr. Wright, American Min ister at Berlin, that Christian Ernst, an Amer ican naturalised citizen, who had been com pelled by force to enter the Hanoverian army, has, upon the remonstrance of our Government, been discharged from tho service. 0“ There are only 207 revolutionary sol diers that receive pensions, left in the land. , v ,i, MEETING OP THE STANDING I ,COMMITTEE.

Kush Petrikeri, one of the Opposition candidates for the State Legislature in Lyco ming and Clinton counties, haying quarreled with some ot his late political associates, is ma king some revelations of the manner in which the State was swindled- out of her Canals by the Sunburyand ErieKailroad speculators,'that have taken these gentlemen all aback. Mr; Petriken was one pf the active managers in pro curing the passage of the Sunbary and Brie bill through the Legislature, and was, conse quently, cognisant’ of all the plots, bargains, wire-pullings and arrangements by which that scheme was accomplished. Whether moved by the pricirings of a troubled conscience, or aotu. ated by the less pure,; but more powerfulmo live of revenge at being deprived of his prom ; ised share of. the spoils, ha has turned around and become voliiolary “State’s evidence’ against bis formerpßsociates. Ho has publish ed a statement! revealing the dishonest' transac tions connected with, the sale and re-sale of the 'Canals; and proujises.further, that if elected, he will institute sueh inquiries as will establish the fact of the most astounding frauds in that affair. • . Among other charges, he says it can be made manifest, by proof, that the Canals were sold for $2,000,000 less than they could have been sold for, the kind ot payment being re ceived—that in each sale the Directors and Offi cers of the Railroad were parties purchasing— that all the sales were made in the short period of one month from the time tbecanals were con veyed to the railroad, in a secret manner, with out notice of when they would bo sold, or the kind of payment that . Would be received; and that notwithstanding this secret manner of sale, much larger sums were bid by other par ties, before the present possessors had consum-’ mated their pretended title under the law. On investigatiohihesays it can be proved that the West Branch and Susquehanna Canal was sold for $500,000, in promises payable twenty years hence; but before'tho sale was consum mated under the law, $750,000 were offered for that part between Northumberland and Dun can’s Island, (about one-half) —and such wit nesses as Judge Jordan and wm. I. Grcenough, Esq., of Sunbury, will prove it. Mr. Petrikon says the North Branch Canal was sold for $l,- 500,000 in promises payable in future, and that before the sale was consummated an offer was made by other parties of $2,000,000. The Delaware Division, a Canal which under State management cleared six percent, per annum on the sum of $4,000,000, was sold for $1,775,- 000575,000 in hand, $lOO,OOO in the stock of the Company, created, $400,000 in monthly instalments of $40,000, apd $1,200,000 in pro mises to pay twenty years off. Before this sale was made, other parties offered $2,000,000, and no doubt if the world had known the terms of payment, s3,ooo,ooo'could have been had. In-, qiiiry may prove, says Mr. Petriken, that two or throe persona in his,own district own more than one-half of this stock, for which they paid nothing but the guilt of the wrong lo the peo ple, and on which they realize at least $30,000 per annum 1 We have never doubted that the time would come, sooner or later, when the secret history of the passage of the Sunbury, and Erie bill would be made public, and we are,not likely to bo disappointed. The parties to that fraud are already quarreling over, the spoils, and in their eagerness to criminate one another, are making disclosures that will open the eyes of the people to the disreputable means by which the Com monwealth was plundered. Mr. Petriken’s con nection with this affair is not calculated to in spire confidence in' the sincerity of his motives; but with that the public have nothing to do, and if he ean and will expose the fraud by which a few men have been enriched at the expense of the State, he should ,by all means bo sent to Harrisburg. Bribery.—The Opposition candidates for the Legislature in Berks county, publicly offer $2OO each to the voters of that county if they will elect them. Never in the history of poli tics have we seen anything so barefaced. They propose to pay the tboney in this way: Failing to have the compensation of members reducec to $5OO, they will pay $2OO apieco'into the County Treasury. Perhaps the people of Berks county will not choose to be bribed for $OOO in the aggregate, which would amount to exactly 3i cents a voter, there being about 16,000 vo ters in Berks county, Messrs, Hottenstein, Elopp and Holloway must have rather a poor opinion of the value of votes in Berks county. ■ Lebanon Advertiser.

They have re tS'A; in mischief and grown hoarse with boastfr^' that their dis organizing schemes had destroyed the confi dence of'the party in the President and his Cabinet. Their inventions have proved flat anil. and their curses arc fast coming |iomo to roost. County after county in the ™blo Keystone State are enrolling themselves l&iavor of the prescient policy of her “favorite son.*’ The time is not far distant when the people of ■ the whole Union will acknowledge that the national honor ha/been degraded and outraged by the most contemptible and reckless assaults upon'the person of the highest officer of the nation, and this, too, aside from all ob ject of public good. Personal, selfish and re vengeful in their assumed causes for attack, bis enemies have sought to coerce the nation to their aid, forgetful and wholly regardless that ho was the chosen representative and custodian, before the world, of of this people. Could he : have served them and preserved the honor of the nation is the question which is now being answered. ’ - The Hahkisiuiiig Homicibe.—The l Harris burg Patriot says’; “We learn from a gentle man, who arrived here the other night from Ohambcrsburg, that a man by the name of George Cook, a drover", has been missing from that place since last April a year. Cook start ed away with', a drove of cattle, which he sold" somewhere in the neighborhood of Harrisburg. Part of the drove belonged to a gentleman of Ohambcrsburg. The money for that portion was duly forwarded to the owner, and since that lime Cook has not been heard of. It was at first supposed that he had gone to Califor nia, but as nothing has been heard of him in that quarter, and tho “mysterious murder” in this place having attracted the attention of "the people of Chambersburg, tho friends of the missing man are desirous of making further in quiries into the affair.” DCT” It has been already announced that the Masonic fraternity intend to erect a monument to that distinguished member of their order, the late Dr. Elisha Kent Kane. The Now York committee have reported on tho subject, and their report, having been adopted, has been distributed among the four hundred and fifty lodges in that jurisdiction. It is recommended by tho committee that each of these lodges con tribute the sum of five dollars ; and it Is confi dently believed that all will give so small asum towards an enterprise so deserving. This spec ial aid Is solicited in tho report, and, with the aid that will likely follow from other jurisdic tions, the Kano Monument Association hope to raise the sum of. $5,000 required to complete the modest monument proposed by them in honor of the late illustrious navigator, and in honor, too, of . the bond of brotherhood that prompts this ac t of affectionate remembrance. Riot at Manoiiesteii, N. H.—At the fire men's muster, held at Manchester, ,Ni H., on Thursday last, a serious riot occurred between the firemen and gamblers, Several buildings: were partially demolished, and other property, destroyed. The gamblers used their pistols, but were finally driven off. Two houses bn Elm street] occupied by them, were gutted. The mob next attacked the American House, and Museum building, breaking the windows. The riot had its origin in a number of the firemen being cheated of their money by the gamblers, in the houses first attacked. The mob were in the act of attacking other houses, not. occupied by the gamblers, when a speech from a fireman, in which he represented that they were destroying the property of those who were entirely guiltless of any offence, caused them to desist. Several persons were injured during the riot, but none fatally. Seventy five fire companies, accompanied by thirty bands of music, wero.in the city at theitime.. 12 op Dan Rfon’s nohs|S^^i|JjHißb.—A letter dated Easton, The staling attached to the ojtflht fire this morning. The stojhleroett oc cupied by the horses attached- to Dan Rice’s circus, and twelve of them were smothered.— .Those lost, however, were mostly team horses, and his loss will not exceed $5,000. The fire originated through the carelessness of a driver, who let a fluid lamp fall, causing it to burst and scatter the flames among the combustible contents of the stables. The damage to the hotel was trifling. The Value or a Lottery Prize.—A New Orleans letter in the Charleston, S. 0., Courier, relates an incident which illustrates in a strik ing manner the evil that , may be produced by one lottery ticket.’ A young man of good fam ily in. New Orleans, who is’passionately fond of gambling, wa’s playing cards with considerable ill-luck, and as a last throw, having lost all his money, staked a lottery ticket. He lost. After the game was over, the winner having no faith in lotteries, proposed to throw dice for it, at twenty-five cents a chance. A bystander, “a poor fellow who never owned a hundred dollars in his life,” accepted the offer and won the tick et. A few days afterwards the Havana steam er arrived, and lo 1 the ticket had drawn $25,- 000. The original owner, who had thus thrown away a fortune, on.hearing the news, was tak en with an attack of brain fever, and is even now in a sad condition ; it is feared he will re main an idiott The lucky drawer of the prize immediately invested a round sum in ah assort ment of flashy jewelry and garments, and has been leading ever since a life of continued revel ry ; he has become a fast man, and is following fast the road to ruin. The disbeliever in lotter ies cannot forgive himself, and whenever he meets a friend, stops him and tells him the Sto ry. It has become such a mania with him that his friends avoid him and turn the corner as soon as they sjj him coming. He has had sev eral quarrels at the gaming table, where the sight of the cards inevitably brings'the oft-told tale to his lips. - This one prize in a lottery has made one man an idiot, started another on the road to ruin, and crazed a third. A terrible price for one prize, certainly. . BC7“ Ice was formed at Somerset, Pa., one night last week, and the clothes hung out to dry were frozen quite stiff.

The Valley Spirit anticipates the objection that ho is from the sanie Statc with the present incum bent of the Chair Presidential in the following manner: “It may be objected that the present inoum-. bent of the Executive chair of the Nation is a Pennsylvanian, and that his successor ought to come from another State. There is no real force in the objealioU'. The best available man ought to be taken, taken, no matter where he comes from. In the early days of the Repub lic, which so many people delight to call its “best days,” it was the vian rather than his lo cation that was looked to. Virginia furnished the President for six terms in succession—six teen years longer than Pennsylvania Will have him if she is allowed the successor to Mr. Buch anan.. We have, therefore, abundant precedent for claiming the honors of the Chief Magistracy for another Pennsylvanian at the close of Mr. Buchanan’s term." Asa Pennsylvanian, we lake a just and en during pride in judge Black, and would be untrue to ourselves, did we not wish him further advancement. Large Yield.—The editor of the York coun ty Star says: “We planted in our garden, the past season, three large, sized potatoes, of the California mercers, from which we’ raised and took up a yield Of about 150 good sized pota toes, measuring nearly a bushel.
