It has passed, through this .tronafoijnoing pro cess; from poor, watery, and'ia mirilious it has-been elaborated into a wholes tine, pleas ant tasted article of food. In no other thing is the effect of r climalo more evidei it. Indeed the best wheal bread is improved by the ad dition of potatoes to the amot nl of one fourth of its weight. It is con ended ■ that plants raised from unripe tubers are earlier end stronger than from over ‘ipe, if so, would it not be belter to dig thd potatoes in (ended for seed a little before they are 'quite ripe, when the stalks begin to wither, than to save for planting the fairest and best 1 — these will produce not qnly.larger potatoes but a-greater pupiber of them. ( OißßAsfis.—The modern rot; A disease so widely spread and so destructive, has of course attracted the attention of practical and scientific men in many countries, and all the resources of learning and skjll have been applied to the investigation of bt causes and its remedies hitherto with smalt success. At ladst only shown, not what the fcause is, but what it is oof. The universality of the evil proves that it could not have bein caused by blight, insects, tlimate or soil, for it could not Jbo supposed that these were everywhere, and at the same time, cooperating (to one end. Resides these causes existed Icing ago, but did not produce the results we now witness ; as to insects they may rnth»r fee regarded as .the effects than the cause of the disease. 1 do suppose they are nearest to the right who consider (he continued propagation of the plant without renewal from the! original cli mate itnd soil; and its being highly ted by strong manure is at least; the principal cause of its decay. The potato in ity natural home doubtless preserves its health from age to age like other wild inhabitant of the for. esL Besides, in its wild stale t(ie potato pro page lea itself by seeds as well ns by tubers, thus annually renewing its youth and healths Experience leaches us that potatoes raised from the seed are good for the table; but seedlings rot as bad as those that are raised from tubars. Why not ? they came from the seed of diseased tubers. The potato has arrived to the meridian of its strength and is on-the decline-, the disease has affected the whole plant; potatoes raised from secd .jiar- Ibke of the disease of the parent stocks Cheat earn should be taken in ‘selecting and planting the' best varieties of seedlings.— adapt themselves to their home, nnd do as well there ns elsewhere. But it seems to me that ouh chief hope of success lies in planting potatoes and seed brought directly from lheir native counlry, and their wild state. And by so doing we can start anew, and I a comparatively short time restore this import ant plant to its former hcalift anil produc tiveness. It is said lhal ihnre are some kinds of potatoes cultivated in South America su perior for fable use to any kndwn among ns. I have potatoes raised from the seed of the ball, which I consider rather superior fur ta ble use to any (hat I ever saw. Silas P.iriso.vs, — Swanzy, August 29, 1554.

None of the con jectured at the lime, concerning the origin.of the fires, .were correct; the ' real originator was not suspected. Twelve years had elaps ed, and the disasters mentioned had been al most forgotten. Last week, says the Eaton Register, came a weary footman from Penn sylvania,.leaning on a staff, and entered the bouse of Mr. Kline. Time and trouble Had brought ao great a change in the-maa’s ap pearance that though formerly known to his entertainer, he was not recognised until'he had told his name. Ho was the man who had set fire to both the aforementioned build ings! His object hod been plunder, but he says his nefarious enterprise resulted in no thing but disappointment. Peace nor enjoy ment has he known since the commission of those crimes. Afflicted by the pangs of a gui (y conscience, and feeling that he could not die in peace without confessing and ato ning for his crimes, he came for the latter purpose. Ho confessed bis guilt, and ex pressed his equal willingness to receive either punishment or forgiveness, whichever should bo preferred by those whom he had injured. It was deemed more noble to forgive Ilian chastise, and the penitent was pet milted to “go and sin no more .” The unhappy rnno then’proceeded to West Alexandria, and was there (old that the man whom he sought, and whose building ho fired, had moved' to Indi anan. The penitent thpn resumed this pil grimage in that direction. “ Grandfather,” said a saucy little boy, the other day, w how old are youl" The old gentleman wlho had been a soldier, and was much under the ordinary size, took the child between his knees and said to him : “ My dear boy, I am ninety-five years old ; but why do you ask 1” The little fellow,-with the importance of a Napoleon, replied : “ Well, it appears to me you are remark ably small of sour nge !” The Boston Chronicle Iritis itself on wea ther paragraphs; Hear it: "The weather for the last few days has been positively hoi, com p.milivelv hot, superlatively hot, day and night.

The amount of heat is immense for the quantity of ftjp^consumed. The Poor Boiler is propetly a Village Stove, and works Well with wood or coal. You can get a meal for ton persons in thirty-five minutes, with seven* pounds of dry maple wood, ha ap. pea ranee is grand, and it is a very pleasant stove to do work with. It is very appropriate for large sitting or dining rooms, and warms with less fire than any parlor stove. The Six Boiler King works equally well, has more capacity, and Is adapted to the wants of large families and public houses. This is, in truth, a FARMER’S STOVE. What can you desire in a Stove that cannot satisfy'! If you want Capacity for do. ing large business, you have it. If you want to warm cold houses or large rooms, it can. not bo beat.
