FAILURE OF TIE VINE CRoPs.-The
vines of France first, and now all Eu-
rope, have been attacked by disease Of
a character parasitical and similar to the
mushroom, but very minute, covering
the wood of the vine and destroying the
plant.
This disease has been attributed to
various causes. Once first propagated,
its pollen seems to have been carried in
the winds over all Europe and the Is
lands of the Mediterranean, and has
caused wide spread fears for the exist
ence of the Vine in Europe. Last years
crop was a,total failure in consequence
of this disease.

county held their County Convention on
the 18th inst. and nominated the follow
ing ticket. We have an acquaintance
with most of the nominees, and csn tru-
ly say that it is an excellent ticket:
For Representative, ]. NJ. Evans, of
Chester; for Prosecuting Attorney,
Thomas Irwin, of Pomeroy; for Sheriff,
S. Bradbury, of Middleport; for Treas
urer, o. Branch, Of Pomeroy; for Com
missioner, ]. F. Brown, of Orange; for
Surveyor, Aaron Stivers, of Pomeroy;
for Coroner, j. r. Philson, of Racine.
The Telegraph says of the contest in
Meigs county:
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the present contest will turn mainly up
on one question-Maine Law or No
Maine Law. The Democratic party.
which was allowed first choice, with re-
marksble consistency, arrayed them
selves against the Law. Many honest.
moral, enlightened Democrats, favorinr
the Law, determined to vote some other
ticket. The Wing party, without anv
sacrifice of principles or preferences,
unanimously nominated Maine Law, or
Temperance ticket. Personally, the
candidates on both tickets are popular.
The contest, therefore, will be for prin-
eipIes, not men. Our own opinion is
that the ticket nominated last Thursday
will be elected by handsome majority.
