It was not well to have more than one
or two eyes in a set, for too many eyes
produce too many stalks, which wither
and. die, causing your crop to become a
failure. Mr. James Landsborough's
mode of preparing the land for potatoes
would be by manuring in the fall—say,
about twenty-five loads of Maintre to the
acre—and plowing moderately, deep. In
the spring he would not plow till a,boat
the 10th of June, as he did not believe
in early planting. He would harrow
the land after plowing,. His land marker
was made in the folloWing way : 'Take a
scantling, bore holes in it with a two-
iuch augur, .about twenty-eight inches
apart, put pins in the necessary length.
Shafts might be added where it can be
drawn' with a horse. This he would
draw lengthsvays, planting a set about
ten inches- apart in these marks, which
he would cover with the plow two or
three inches deep. He considered it a
great Mistake in small potatoes being
planted. Nothing but sets taken from
the largest potatoes should be planted.
He had grown over eighteen varieties,
and out of that complement has only re-
- tained four—the Early Rose, Clime,x,
Peerless aud Prolific. The Early Rote
was, in his estimation, only second-class,
the Climax being considerably the best
in flavor and yield. The Peerless yielded
the best, but was not smgood in quality.
As for the potato bugs, he would pick
them wheu first seen on the potatoes, as
by so doing they can be easily subdued

THE :MUNICIPAL ELECTIO'N. —The fol-
lowing is the vote polled by the various
candidates in the late election : Reeve—,
Bluevale. Hunter, 224 ; Hackney, 158. Council-
•, ors—S TY Waral--Halls 63 Kellaaid

dates are : Reeve—Mr. Hunter. Coun-
cilors—Messrs. Halls, Miller, Monteith •

HOTEL CHANGE. --Mr. William Ross
has rented his hotel to a gentleman
named Thompson from WawarlOS.
This is an old ancl favorably known
house, and Mr. Thompson will, no doubt,
do a good --business. The hotel has been
leased for a term of five years.
ELEcTION.—Tbe election of Councilors
in Turnbeny passed off very quietly on
Monday last. Mr. James Henning .was
elected for Deputy Reeve. The Coun-
cilors elected are: Thomas Guy, John
Little, and James Hogg. S. Black was
elected Reeve by acclamation.
ManEtts.—The market quotations in
Bluevale are as follows : wheat,
88c ; spring wheat, 86c; barley, $1 -00 ;
peas, 70e; oats, 40c; pork from $7 90
to $8. Since the cats began to run past
this village it has become much livelier.
Every person seems to be full of business,
and establishing a market here causes
much more stir than there would other-
wise be. We hope Bluevale may flour-
ish, and rival some of the' neighboring
villages, as no doubt it will if it contin-
ues to prosper in the future as it has for
the past few months.
Daiarta—We regret to learn. that Mrs.
F. Patterson lost her only child on Tues-
day morning. The child was five
months old wlien it died, and had been
but a very short time 11 Water on the
brain was the cause of its death. Mr.
F. Patterson went to Seotland some
time ago, and arrived there in, safety.
We do not know when heL will return,
but when he does, he will find his wife
in sorrow for the loss of her child,
Morris.
AN EXTENSIVE HORSE TRADE.—. -A
rather curious and intricate lawsuit has
arisen in this locality lately. It appears
that a man named. Grummett, living in
Morris, gave a chattel mortgage on his
horse and other articles last spring, to
Mr. P. Kelly, of Blyth. Shortly after-
wrird.s Gpmmett traded one of the horses
includeclin this mortgage to Jas. Sharpe,
of Morris, which the latter soon after
traded to one Hannah, who lives in Mc-
Killop. Hannah then traded_ the same
horse to a neighbor of his named Morri-
soli, who had the horse but a snort time
when it was taken from him by Mr.
Kelly (by virtue of the mortgage there-
on givett by Grummett), who caused the
horse to be sold as pay the mortgage.
Morrison then threatened Hannah, who
consulted some of the legal lights iat
Goderich, who, in their turn, advised him
to sue Sharpe, and accordingly Sharpe
was served with a process claiming some
$175 damages and costs. Then Mr.
Hullett.
