'' Several weeks since we announced that the ad- vocates for the per diem pay were diminishing every day. and ere long there would be none found so low as to sustain this on the State Treasury This has proven true. And now we make this predic
 ton, that the course of Col. Hindman will render him as unpopular as the per diem question has be-
 come. Six months ago in Monroe county he had a respectable number of friends though by no means half of the democratic party with him. On Monday morning last gentleman from that county called at our once and incidentally in conversation gave it as his honest opinion that if Col. Hndman were candidate he did not believe he could get hiiy votes Tn the county. The same morning two other gentlemen from the same county offered to % treat that there cannot be found te. men in that county for Col. Hindman.

able to cure me perfectly but thought you might
be able to do something to ease the pain in my
back and head, and strengthen my limbs which
were so weak that they would almost give way
under me, when walked, and to strengthen my
nerves so that would not get excited and trem-
BILE at every little thing. Now that you know

tion at my complete recovery from those symp-
toms and the removal of those blotches and sores
from my skin. and the ulcers from my throat,

you said were principally the cause of my sick
ness.

joy or my surprise, for except not having fully
got my strength. feel as we'll as any man can feel.
Enclosed | send you twenty dollars over your
charge and | think myself cheaply cured. lfyou
think anybody will be benefited you may put this
letter in the newspapers.

Raising Potatoes under Straw.

In the May number of your excellent
Cultvator, | requested your subscribers to
try the experiment of raising potatoes un-
der straw, promising that | would d. s. and
give the result. On the 9Th of Jane, | pat
about half bushel of very small potatoes
in corner of the field, on the sod, and COW
cred them with about or 0 inches of
straw. A few days after we had rain and
the potatoes grew astonishingly, so that this
fall collected about bushel of large and
sound potatoes. | was obliged to take them
up early, on the 5th Of September, as the
field was cleared of grain and stock turned
into it. -Four persons of this county have
tried the same experiment, and succeed be
yond the most sanguine expectations. This
is certainly cheap way of raising potatoes,
and pieces Of land, which, from stones or
stumps, would be lost, are thus turned to
profit. Country Gentleman.

TO THE AFFLICTED.-Dr. L. j. Czapkay,

patronage. By the practice Of many years in Eu-
rope and the United States, and during the Hun
garan war and campaigns, he is enabled to ap-
ply the most efficient and successful remedies
against disease of all kinds. He uses no mercury

WHEAT WoRM-We are informed bv
several of the farmers who reside east of the
Coyote, near San Jose, says the Tribuae,
that the wheat fields in that vicinity are
greatly injured by worm or lava of some
kind. The worm is of brown color, and
about an inch long, aud destroys the seed in
the ground; making almost clean sweep
where it operates. All the farmers in that
vicinity (on high ground) are more or less
injured. One man loses thirty acres out OF
fifty; another four out of twelve. The fields
will be resown, and the second planting will
probably succeed. The volunteer crops are
not molested

of scorpion, and found that it removed

it in cases of hydrophobia, and always with
