A writer in the Boston Cultivator saya,
that a plum tree growing near his kitchen
door, which had always been healthy and
productive, became diseased with black knot,
in consequence of a change in the course OF
the sink drain which brought the Stops of all
kinds around its roots. We have known
plum trees saved from the ravages Of the
curculio in consequence of having the sink
drain passing by their roots. Perhaps in
the instance referred to the supply was too
abundant, and perhaps the quality of tho
wash was deetcrious.

gale, but shortly after rightcd when re-
lioved of her foremost. As SION as she
came up, Captain Friend hurried to the
cabin in search of his wife. but found. to
his incxpres siblc grief. that she had been
washed overheard and drowned. The
schooner was so strained that she soon
sank to the top Of tho house on deck,
and but for her cargo of lumber would
have gone down altogether. Upon this
platform, constantly washed by the sea,
these poor people remained four days
and half, During this period they
were able to catch little water. and that,
with some salt pork which they divcd in
the cabin for, sustained life. During the
whole Of their exposure. they had no
other nourishment OF any kind, The
poor fellows saw sevcra. ships pass them
by unnoticed, before their rcscuer came.
When taken off the wreck they were very
much exhausted, but under the kindly
treatment of the officers Of the Alabama.
they soon recovered their health. The
names of the rescued people arc Captain
Elisha &. Friend, of Sedgwick. Me; ]. c.

In the Aroostook vote Bradbury is

is one called Merrill that gives him

Indicate the employment and position on
election day of those who exhibited such
astonishing facilities in getting up Dem
ocratic votes to order. There can be
little doubt, we think, that a large num-
Der Of tue Aroostook votes. will, on
examination be found to be bogus. They
are gotten up perhaps on the Democratic
modei, furnish u in Kansas. at the pre-
c;pcts of Kickapoo and Oxford, and as
those g,sring frauds were endorsed by
a democratic Administration, and sus-
tanned by tho Democratic party, 1t will,
we presume, be comparatively easy tor
the same opponents of political integrity
to sustain the WaNoW-grass" cheating
in Aroostook. 1t may be somewhat
difficult to fix the guilt upon any rcspon-
siblc persons, but we trust that the Gov.
crnor and Council will exert the whole
of their constitutional aad legar power
in exposing and Furnishing those who
devised and executed this great outrage
upon the elective franchise and the purity
of the ballot box.
1t is easy now to understand why the
Democracy all over the State INDUCED
in such confident boasts Of bradbury s
election. They counted with entire GER
.tainty upon their ability to keep down
The Republican strength in Hancock to
a point below their own majority in
Aroostook, and they never doubted their
power to carry the county of Washington
by small vote. To the indomitable
energy and boldness of the Republicans
in Hancock and Washington belongs
therefore tho honor of defeating the
'great gum Of Democracy in Eastern
Maine. Had the vote in Aroostook been
u strictly honest one, Foster majority
in the district would be at least serer
hundred. 1t has been reduced only by
bold stroke of"kickapoo" tactics, the
failure of which and the consequent reac-
ton, will sink the Democratic party in
the Sixth District so low that future vic
tories may be won by the Republicans
with only fraction of the effort which
it has cost to attain the triumph just
achieved Portland Advertiser.
