Next Monday our fellow. citizens will be
called upon to Fl q number Of Offices of re-
sponsibility. We have in several articles,
spoken Of the Importance of this election to
our city's prosperity, and honestly endeavor-
ed to impress upon the minds Of citizens their
duty on the occasion-first, for euery man to
uote-and next for every man to vote for the
best men. There is another subject in this
connection to which we wish to call the par
ticular attention of citizens, and that is the
necessity Of preventing illegal voting. Let
no man be permitted to poll vote at this
election, while there is a single doubt Of the
legality of that vote. We need not refer to
the past. Every citizen knows or believes
there were a large number of illegal votes
polled at the last fall election in this city
There is reason to believe there are men
among Us corrupt enough to spend time, in
fluence and money, in their party zeal, to
secure the vote of any man, whether he be
entitled to vote or not. Such men should
be watched. The polls should be watched
Let good citizens do their duty, and bad citi.
zens will fail in their corrupt action. We
do not mean to say that any such proceed.

ANOTHER CowARDLY CHARGE.-The En-
quirer was prolific again yesterday morning
in falsehood about Todd. We advert to the
matter only for the pupose of illustrating the
cowardice of the man when he knows he is
uttering SANDER. Mr.. Hall does not, and
dare not make the charges which he desires
to have taken by implication. So he puts
them in the following cowardly manner:
How did it happen that he came so near
being removed from his office of clerk by the
council last summer! How did il happen
that Soren Sorrenson was paid fifty dollars
for settling up his books which had been
thrown into chaos by his unparalleled qualfi-
cations!
Now we have taken no pains to prove the
above imputations false and malicious libel.
upon Mr.. Todd, but several Councilmen hap
pening into our Office, we made some enqui
ries with regard to the first question ant
found it wholly unfounded. On the con
trary the Council have been generally wei
pleased with their clerk, and on the whole
considered him the best they ever had.
With regard to Mr.. Sorrenson being pal,
fifty dollars for settling up the city book
which Mr.. Todd chad thrown into chaos,
we findit also to be false from beginning to end
Mr.. Sorrenson informs US that he was EN-
ployed to open a set Of books for the city a
the time of Todd's first election, which h,
did, and didn't get any fifty dollars either

How TO Raise Melons.


As have ben accustomed to raising mel
ons every syear since | was little boy, |
deem it proper to say a few words on that
subject. In the first place fence off your
ground in two or three lots, as large as you
want them, 60 you can change from lot to
lot every year; and second, take one of
these lots for what we calk cow-pens, and
pen your cows on it every night during the
summer season. in order TO make the ground
rich, but keep them off in the winter SO the
ground may become mellow before the
spring.
After you have taken your cows off take
hoe and scrape up pile of the manure
Ito keep it from losing it's strength) about
as large as you thing will allow good
sized shovel full to each hill. Before plow-
Ing, 90 over the lot and mash the manure
up fine, scattering it all over the ground
Plow it tolerably early about six or seven
inches deep, and let it lay till time for plan
ting. About the time you want TO plant,
pillow it the second time about the same
depth, turning the manure on top; harrow
it well in order to mash the clots. Furrow
it about eight or nine feet each way, with
a shovel pillow. Then take a shovei-iuil of
the manure, above named, and put right In
the cross, then make your hills, string dirt
and manure together, then you are ready
for planting. Put in plenty of seed in or
der to save replanting if possible. Keep
them perfectly clean by tending with hoe
and three-shoveled cultivator. If they
come up right and it is good season, and
we'll tended, | will ensure good crop of
melons. LHhorz1 Farm.

to their appropriate authorship, to which we
invite attention.
