Mr.. Douglas made a short speech in reply to
Mr.. Seward, in which he harped upon Divine
weak point.
The senator from Illinois maintains the
notions Of squattcr sovereignty, and would
hence approve of Mormonism, which was driven
out Of his own state by the people as a species of
high treason against their free institutions, as
well as against the divine law.
Mr. Douglas says that the shoemakers strike
in Massachusetts is owing to the Withholding
OF southern trade which is occasioned by Black
Republicanism but in fact ii is owing to a
desire on the part Of the workmen to get high
er wages, an act Of liberty which labor would
not dare to do under a Slave power.

The gale Of Saturday night last, ragged throughout

other which has been experienced in this quarter for
some time. 1t came from the North West, and was

drawn quietly into a vacuum. 1t was violent, event in

beautiful weather recently, far in advance of the sea-
son. The usual bare spots Of March now nearly
cover the whole ground, even in the first days of tho
month. On the sixth day Of the month, the streets
are crowded with the wagons in which folks have come
to town meeting, and the sun shines out as pleasantly
as if on the first day of May. Such weather will start

MAssAcnUsETTs.-Thc republicans of Mas
sachusetts held their State Convention to elect
delegates to Chicago, at Worcester on Wedncs-
day of this week. About 800 delegates were
in attendance, and the convention was presided
over by Hon. J. S. &. Knowlton of Worcester.
The opponents of Gov. Banks sought to secure
the election Of delegates who would not support
the prctcnsions of His Excellency, but they
were too few and too feeble to accomplish any
thing. There was a lively controversy as to
whether the convention should put forth any
resolutions; touching not at all their character,
but simply whether it was proper or worth
while to have any at all and the majority yot-
ed, 1913 to 275, that they would have none. The
four delegates were voted for on one ballot with

MISS MUNsoNS LECTURE.-Miss Munson, the
celebrated trance lecturer, gave us another of
those beautiful discourses for which she is IA
nous, on Sunday evening last, at the Court
House. For the enlarged and rational charity
it inculcated and for the philosophy of virtues
no better discourse ever fell from mortal lips :
while for ehaste and elegant English aud grace
full elocution the pulpit rarely approached. or
ever equalled it. The lecturer commenced, af-
ter passing into the trance state, by offering
fervent and thrilling prayer of a few moments
duration. Then followed a repeating of a por-
tion of scripture which the lecture or sermon
was predicated. Miss Munson occupied the desk
an hour and a half and we say without hesita-
tion no one could have gone away without feel
ing himself profited by the exalted charity
preached. We would do violence to our con-
science and independence not to declare that
mind the poetry of religion. She taught our du-
ties to ourselves, to our children, TO mankind to
even the outcast and the abandoned. If there
are duties enjoined upon US in the name of God
| in the Gospels she unfolds the philosophy and
| righteousness of those duties; she softens the
heart to the acceptance OF obligations, and leads
| it 10 enjoy the fruits of well doing.
| We would that such diseourses were oftener
preached. 1t was the elimination of philan-
thropie, sympathetic mind on more exalted
plane than the sordid world moves along. 1t
was above and beyond the material grossness
which every where blinds even the Christian
world. What pastor Of aspotless flock dare ap-
| peal to its members to enter the sinks of vice
and persuade its ignorant and erring inmates tC
live better and holier for the sake of the life tc
come? And how many of those who do thu,
plead succeed in their endeavors, or set the ex
ample themselves? Yet this is the sublimit,
of charity, the most Godlike of all virtues

As a question of ethics we might indors,
this part of the platform of the Republicans
but not as a legal one. We hold, will

Much has of late been written and said
about the curl in the peach, yet the cause
has not been definitely ascertained, nor any
certain remedy discovered Itseems to affect
some kinds more than others sinong which
may be enumerated seeding, as distin-
guished from established and defined varie-
ties-particularly those raised from Chile
seed. 1t has been hoped that this disease,
SO fatal to the young fruit in its first stages
after blosoming, would not prove formida-
BILE in the clear, dry atmosphere of the Pa
cifc slope; but such hope can hardly Ion
ger be INDUCED in, rs the disease seems to
be spreading throughout thu interior, and
with increased virulence. Not only has it
become source of alarm to peach and
nectarine growers, but its fungi has become
contagious upon the pear, acting upon the
latter with more virulence, as it not only
spreads over the leaft, but even upon the
fruit while in blossom and until it NAV be
said to have set. Its first appearance is de-
noted on the half-expanded leaf. by great
number of infnitesimal specks of dark
chocolate and crimson color, which rapidly
expand with the leaf, until they run into
large blotches. This disease of the pear is
entirely different from the fire. blight which
appears later in the season, and its disap-
pearance is sometimes with that of the curl
of the peach. Thus far, it is confined mainly
to two yarieties-the Dearborn's Seeding.
and that other, the most hardy of all, Louis
Bonne de Jersey. The writer had been
practicing series of experiments for the
past few years, in the time and mode of pru-
ming the peach so as to test the effects of
the different plans, in hopes of obtaining
results which would indicate mode to
prevent the curled leaf. Thus far, the re-
suits of these experiments are, that peach
trees which have been pruned in the spring
after the fruit had set, and those pruned in
midsummer, while the tree was in growing
condition, have suffered less from the curl.
Those most subject to the fungus were
heavily pruned in midwinter, when the sap
was dormant. Hence it would seem that
the curl of the leaf is clused by an excess
of sap from the roots, there not being a
sufficiency of foliage to absorb it; in other
words, the equilibrium of root and branch
having been destroyed by an under-ampu-
tation of the branch, he pressure of sap
collapSes sap vessels of the Autonomous

WrrR-The propositions of Charles Marsh
and the Nevada Water Company are published
at length in the Democrat The difference il the
propositions is this: That of Mr.. Marsh is
the most extensive, being on a far larger scale
than that of the Nevada Water Company. 1t
contemplates the laying down Of substantial cast
iron pipes to the suburbs Of the town for domes-
tic and rrigating purposes, tending to the cult
vation of gardens on our hills, identifying homes
and rendering our city attractive. 1t proposes
to establish a reservoir of certain capacities, to
be connected with a never failing supply of wa
ter for the greatest need, no matter how long
protracted. The proprietors of the Nevada
Water Company hold forth not 80 flattering as
surances. The Marsh proposition requires the
city to furnish fire plugs. The Nevada Water
Company furnish the plugs or hydrants. The
Marsh proposition contemplates fire plugs made
to use three hose at a time the other one
Marsh requires till the 18th of April next to
complete his works; the other parties but two
months. Both parties agree to furnish water to
the city for fire purposes free.
The two propositions are ordered submitted to
the people, by the Board of Trustees on the 9TH
of July.
The questions to be considered by voters, are
Where is to be obtained the best and surest sup
ply of water? Which promises most power and
efficiency in time of need? Will the benefits to
accrue to citizens living in the heart of the city,
between the middle of September and the mid
die of April following, by adopting the PROPOSE
ton of the Nevada Water Company, counter
balance the benefits to result to all the inhabit-
ants within and beyond the reach of said Com
pany's works by waiting seven months longer
the expense of hydrants included7 Shall we
take the Nevada companys water works for
twenty years beginning about the middle Of Sep
tember, or wait till the beginning of another dry
season for protection to not only the business
portion of the city but all others?
