T. G Fessexoen —Dear Sir :— Should you lliink 

 proper to insert an experiment of a practical farmer, on 

 raising early Poiatoef, in your valuable paper, it is at 

 your service. E. W 



To RAISE Early Potatoes. — Potatoes exposed to a 

 warm sun a lew days before planting, will be a week 

 forward of those planted in the common way. E. W. 

 Stow, Feb. 20, 1837. 



Paper Veneering. — We yesterday examined an el- 

 egant piece of Furniture, veneered with marble paper, 

 in imitation of rose wood. The imitation was so per- 

 fect, and the veneering so ex.ict, that an experienced 

 painter was unable to discover that it was not grained 

 with paint, though he considered it almost impossible to 

 shade and blend colors in such a beautiful manner. — 

 The paper was from the manufactory of Messrs S C. 

 anil E. IMann of this town. They have brought the 

 manufactory of colored paper to a higher state of per- 

 fection than any other establishment in the U. States. 

 This plan of veneering furniture, we think, will prove 

 a very useful improvement. It combines three very de- 

 sirable qualities; elegance, durability and cheapness. 

 A common pine table tan be covered in imitation of 

 rose wood, for .$1,50, in a stylo that would defy the 

 most skilful painter in tie world to equal. U is the 

 opinion of the Cabinet makers, that it will wear much 

 longer than common veneering. A piece of furniture, 

 finished in this style, may be examined in the Norfolk 

 Bookstore in a few days.— /)e<Z. Pat.
