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 time it was not safe to predict which would come outvtatorious. At the Close of the poll, hosyever, Mr. Willis was found ta be.sonre seven votes aheas of Mr. Hodgson.,- I 5.11usICIPAL ELeCTIONS.---The MU. pal election of McKillop terminate in the reselection.of Mr. Shannon as Rave, Mr. T.

The successful candi- dates are : Reeve—Mr. Hunter. Coun- cilors—Messrs. Halls, Miller, Monteith • and Brock. 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. KINBURN CHEESE -FACTORY.—A meet- ing of the patrons of this establishment ' was held at Kinburn on Saturday last, and although the weather was unfavor- able, there was; a large attendance.
