The Albany Cultivator of November, has the following account of a specific, which, it is said has been succesfully applied in u neigborhood in one of the interior counties of the State. We hope it is an exception to the general character of recipes for the disease : " Cum: for the Potato Rot. In a re recent - cent recent conversation with Mr. John Barrett, Jr., of Cayuga Bridge, on the subject of the potato disease, he informs us that he had not been troubled with rot for some years, and that there was an easy remedy for it, which all might apply with very little trouble or expense. On inquiring for this simple rem rem-eday, - eday, rem-eday, we expected to have been told that it was a secret, to be revealed only to those who are willing to contribute a handsome reward to the discoverer. But Mr. Barrett freely gave us his experience, which we as freely impart to our readers, leaving it to them to make the experiment, if they think proper. " Mr. Barrett states that a few years since, 'he as well as most of his neighbors, lost their entire crop of potatoes by the rot the next spring he was compelled to go to an other town for seed, where he procured a supply for himself and an adjoining neigh neighbor, - bor, neighbor, and where he was told how to prevent the disease. He said he and his neighbor planted the seed he procured in adjoining fields the soil and treatment similar only that Mr. Barrett applied the remedy recom recommended - mended recommended to him which consisted in soicing ashes over the field once a week for six weeks, commencing shortly after the secomi hoeing of the crop. He used from two to three bushels of ashes per acre, which is sufficient to give the potato tops a good dusting. The result was, that his field was entirely free from the disease, while the pota potatoes - toes potatoes on the adjoining field, without this ap application - plication application of ashes, rotted badly. Since then, Mr. Barrett, as well as most of his neigh neighbors, - bors, neighbors, had applied ashes, and had been entire entirely - ly entirely free from the disease." In South Carolina there is no law pre prescribing - scribing prescribing a marriage ceremonial. Hence the mode of the ceremony and the character of the officiating functionary are left to the choice of the. parties. Judge Frost, of t lie court of sessions, in a recent charge to a jury, remarked that if a man and a woman jump over a broom, the former saying " iaKe mis woman to ue my wedded wife, and the latter, "I take . this man to be rnv wedded husband," and go to house-keeping, they are legally married having entered into a bond of union which cannot be an annulled - nulled annulled so long as they both live..
