Mrs. Catherine O'Daly. Deburgo, Alleghany. Cataraugus County, New York (seventy years old iv 1877), says : " Fears ago I wrote to The Pilot that I bad 100 potatoes that weighed 115 lbs. ; but now I have 100 potatoes that weigh 122 lbs., and no horse, ox, or man to help me. for I would not let horse or ox in my beautiful orchard I planted with my own hands. At the present time (15th of September) my grapes are ripe, and I have a horse and buggy, and cows, and sheep, and 18 rabbits ; it does my heart good to see them skip about my dwelling."'
