The false hoods, folles and debaucEeries then adopted seem to have demorali2ed nature itself and made their authors their principal victims. The actors in those scenes have been nppoin- led 10 punish one dnotter, and those who come in contact with them seem to be lnvol- ved in their calamities. This result, be 1t provldential or be it natural, should warn our people never hereafter to tolerate a simi lar mode of eleetioneering.

THE Cur WoRM-I see in the October Mo- of the Cultlvator, writer says, that "burdock leaf wound around the stem of cabbage will prevent the cut-icorm from de- stroying the plant" But the writer seems to think every farmer Is not fortunate enough to have that plant on his ground. Where bur dock cannot be obtained, perhaps hickory leaf can, and that think Eill answer every purpose. have seen q hctofy leaf repeat edy used, and never knew 1t fail to preserve the plant. If the leaf is put on narrow, and the plant set low, the worm will sometimes crawl up and cut off the plant above the leaf, but 1t is not common.

He happened to have common horse-pail about half-ful of white-wash He filled the bucket with water, and left 1t to set tie. He moistened with this water two quarts of fcorn-meal, morning and evening, which he gave the horse-fIling up the bucket with water occasionally.
