curry says that last fall Mr.. BuchaGan re.

and the straight ticket, 1927. Thus
Pennsylvania proved itself much soundel
on the question of freedom th2n Neg Jer
sey, although here Mr.. Fremont receiv,
ed 40Q0 more votes than Mr.. Fillmore
But Mr.. Wilmot has now been nominated
and it is estiTated by his friends that he
can poll all the Union votes of last fall
which were oyer 100000, and gain con
siderable portion Of the straight, Fillmore
vote. Ii is believed that large portion
of the vote for Mr. Buchanan was fraudu
lent, brought out by the immense expen
diture of money raised for that State, and
that no such vote can be approximated
again. The prospect of success grows eF'
cry day better. 1t would certainly be {
triumph worth recording to chronicle the
election of David Wilmot as Governor Of
Pennsylvania. With Bissell in Illinois

THE APPLE BoRER.-Some affirm that
the borer never attacks tree except at a
point where the bark at least is already
dead; and that instead Of the dead bark
and wood in the vicinity of its depreda-
tions being the effect, it is in fact the
cause of the attack. Of course, after the
borer once obtains Judgement in the tree
it spreads the mischief and hastens the
decay of the tree Those who adopt this
theory say that the borer generally attacks
the tree on the southwest side; and the
reason assigned for this is, that while the
tree is young, and the branches few and
small, afording but little shade, the bark
IS frequently killed in spots by the after,
noon sun; and as soon as there is the small
est dead spot to be found the borer is in.

all around him.
