singular curiosity in tho shape of bone and
potato. The potato is attached to a two
inch Rawed section of the lumbar vertebrae
or back bone, either of a beef or hog. The
potato when it first began to form would
appear to have been in the cavity of the bone
which contained the spinal cord, and then
to have developed both ways, one half of the
potato being on each end of bone. The po
tato is strongly pressed against the bone, and
is about one and a half inches in diameter at
each end of said bene.

The Supreme Court of New York has
at last baliied the efforts of Tweed to escape
from legal responsibility for stealing $6,
000,000 from the city treasury. The Court
directs that a trial on the merits of the ease
shall take place immediately, and gives
Tweed seven days to file his answer.
Tweed has been using for his own protection
the proceeds of his crimes, but there is at
last a prospect that the plundered city will
rocovei something.
The Philadelphta Evening JLrald, Oc
tober 2, says: "On car No. 110 on the
Market street passenger railroad yesterday,
a young woman got on the car carrying an
infant in her arms and inquired of the con
ductor if his car ran near the almshouse. She
was then asked by the genial conductor if
.she contemplated leaving the child there,
to which she replied in the affirmative. A
lady in the car looked at the child and said,
'Oh ! give it to me,' and the mothf? deli
berately handed over the child as uncon
cernedly as possible, and left the car.
After All, New York justice, at least
as applied to Boss Tweed, does not appear
to be such a very bad article. It is true
that Judge Donohue, in decreeing that the
Commonwealth's counsel should furnish a
bill of particulars, when such a bill was im
possible, because Tweed had had the vouch
ers stolen and destroyed, went as far as he
could go to make justice a farce, but the
Supreme Court has overruled Judge
Donohue. and also decided that the $2,000,
000 bail demanded by the Commonwealth
was not excessive, the court holding that,
although such a bail bond was without pre
cedent, so was Tweed's erime of stealing
$6,000,000 without precedent. Altogether,
Wednesday was a rather bad day for the
'Boss," and the prospect of remaining in
Lublow street jail for a long time to come
13 all the comfort he ha.s from the Supreme
Court, unless it be tho other prospect of
having to disgorge his ill-gotten gains. It
is some satisfaction to know that even iu
New York, where the courts are not pre
cisely all they should be, the greatest thief
of the age, and the richest, can be com
pelled to pay the penalty of his crime. The
Court of Appeah has yet to review the
work cf the Supreme Court ; but that
Tweed will end his miserable life m jail,
fighting for his liberty, is altogether a rea
sonable supposition.
The Authors of the "Spelling Mania,"
And now it is said that the publishers of
Webster 'e Dictionaries are responsible for
the recent .pelliKg Bee" excitement.
Whether this it true or tot, the spelling
mania was a good thitg, and it undoubted
ly had a very excellent influence. Of all
educational accomplishments, a proper
knowledge of the orthography of our own
language is certainly the most desirable, and
of all tho deficiencies in our educational
methods, that relating to this study is the
most marked. And we were therefore go
ng to say that whether the spelling excite
ixent came about through the advertising
efforts of the Webster publishers or not,
one thicg is quite clear, and that is that
has helped to stimulate the wide-spread in
terest in the subject, or that is so nearly a
Speller's Vack Afecum as Wedster's Pocket
Dictionary, sold for One Dollar, and to be
had of almost any dealer in books. It is a
marvel -of -conapactEcss, containing about
three hundred illustrations, over eighteen
thousand words, brief but comprehensive
rules for spelling, a large .number of words
from Foreign languages, phrases, proverbs,
etc. in common use. It 5b neatly bound in
Mor6cco, with tucks aud gilt edges. If
not otherwise obtainable it may be had by
mail from the publishers, Messrs. Ivisou,
Blakeimui, Taylor. & Co., 138 and .140
Grand Street, New York, by enclosing to
them the pri--e, one dollar.
SEED POTATOES
From B. K. Bliss d; Sons' Potato Catalogue.
OOMPTON'S SUEPEISE.
This wonderful Potato, wonderful for its fine quality and productiveness, is a seedling of the
Prince Albert, fertilized with the pollen of the Long Pinkeye. The first year from seed there
were four Potatoes weighing one-half pound. The following Spring these were cut lo single
eyes, and planted on poor soil. The product of the half pound was three hundred and ninety
one pounds, sixty-two pounds of beautiful tubers being picked from the surface of a measured
rod, as it is a peculiarity of this Potato that they often mature a crop on the surface under the
foliage. The next season they were planted in soil from which a poor crop had been taken
the previous year, and, although the season was very unfavorable, this seedling yielded six
limes more than the Hose and other old sorts planted by it, and remained found, while the old
varieties rotted badly. These Potatoes are invariably pound to the center, a hollow one
having never yet been found. It is a late variety, ripening with the Peachblow. Its shape
is oval-oblong, eyes sunken, brow prominent, skin smooth, color reddish-purple, flesh white;
grows to a large size. It is believed to be much the most abundant in starch of any variety
extant. It retains its quality perfectly throughout the year, appearing on the table like a ball
of flour. The high quality of this Potato late in Spring may, perhaps, be owing to its tardi
ness in sprouting, remaining plump and free from sprouts when kept until June, and never
having that wilted appearance common to early sorts.
The following extract from the report of the Committee awarding the premiums offered iu
1S73, confirms all that was claimed for them by the originator when first introduced :
Compton's Surprise has received the unanimous verdict for the most prolific Potato culti
vated at nresent. Yields of from twelve to twenty pounds to the hill are reported by the
hundreds, and in one instance 28$ pounds were

shows a peculiar tendency to produce a surface crop, not found in other kinds.
Two vears ago we paid $15 for one Bushel of the above Seed Potatoes.
EXTRA EARLY VERMONT.
The superior merits of this variety, first sent out by us in the Spring of 1S73, may now be
considered as fully established. It has been largely cultivated over every section of the coun
try, the past two seasons, and fully .sustains the high character given it by the committee for
awarding the premium offered by V.s in 1373, in the following statement, after examining the
reports of the various competitors :
"Titv TOawt.v Vivrmont has. n proved
sustained its previous reputation. Nearly all the
than the Early Hose, and many even more. Its uniiorm ana large size is recognizeu Dy every
one. Mr. McLeod says; 'There are more than 100 in the amount I raised that would weigh
from one to two pounds each ;' and Mr. Salier raised one tuber that weighed three pounds
twelve ounces. Its superior cooking qualities are unanimously commended, as well as its
compact growth in the hill and its freedom from disease, and with the thousands of cultivators
who have grown it alongside the Early Rose, there seems to be no doubt left, that in quality,
hardiness, earliness and yield, it far surpasses that celebrated variety."
A first-class certificate was warded this variety by the Royal Horticultural Society of Lon
don, 1S73. . ., . , t-. 1-. i-
Caution. In consequence of the great similarity between the Ixtra Larly V ermont
and the Early Rose, many of the latter willjdoubtless be offered by unprincipled persons as
the Early Vermont. To avoid imposition, we caution purchasers to beware of itinerant
peddlers, and purchase their stock of reliable parties only. We employ no peddlers or agents.
Adress all orders directly to our house.
Both of these varieties were sold at $4.50 a Bushel last year. We now offer them at $2.00
per Bushel, Cash on delivery.

Our Extraordinary Potato Crop.
In last weeks paper we estimated the
crop of potatoes in Berks county this year
to be half a million of bushels. From ad
vices received from different sections of the
county, it would appear that this estimate
will be exceeded by at least one hundred
thousand bushels. Never has there been a
larger crop of late potatoes in this county,
and competent authorities estimate the
crop at 600,000 bushels. Potatoes have
sold as low as thirty cents per bushels in
some districts. In tho vicinity of Woraels
dorf they are being bought up at 25 to 40
cents per bushel for shipment to Philadel
phia and New York markets. Reading

The Methodist Episcopal Church seems
to be somewhat under the ban of the south
ern fire eaters. Bishop Haven of that body
has been engaged in holding the Georgia
Conferences of his Church, and the Macon
Messenger thus describes him :
"Yes, there he sat with the cheek of Ju
das, the very impersonation in !?ppearance
of a rowdy, bibulous rough, who luckily es
caped with unbroken bones from Donny
brook Fair."
The Bishop went to Griffin, in the same
State, and visited the B,ev. Mr. Kent, a
colored man, who was presiding elder of the
district, whereupon the Griffin paper de
scended upon him gently thus :
"This distinguished thunk, who is not
only in favor of 'civil rights,' but gives it a
practical illustration by his every day liS,
reached Griffin yesterday afternoon. Ho
went and spent his time with Mr. Kent, a
colored man, who is psesiding elder of the
district, where he could receive his colored
brethren. Haven is an old Mio-devil,' and
Kent, who is a very clever man, receives
the only disgrace, as ho ought not to be
caught in euch bad company."
Bishop Haven isjeaid to bo an eminent
divine, a devoted Christian, a scholar and
an author, and beloved by all who know
him. How far the Methodic Church at
