The WIDE AwAKEs hal a torch-light pa.
rade last night, at the close of their business
meeting, and accompanied by the National
Band, they marched up Main and Lincoln
streets, countermarching back through Lincoln
Square, down Main to Myrtle street, up Myr-
tie, through Orange and Plymouth, to Green,
through Temple, up Grafton street, through
Washington Square and Front street to Main
and thence to headquarters, on Maple street.
Before breaking ranks they gave powerful
cheers for Lincoln and Hamlin, the state ticket.
and Goldsmith f. Bailey. The number of
men out on this occasion was about one hun.
dred and fifty, and they marched finely They
will be heard from at the polls next Tuesday.
How much they are feared by the sustainers
of the personal" candidate was apparent last
night, in the attempts made to disturb the
procession by rowdy demonstrations on the
part of persons who found happiness in sand
wiching cheers for Thayer and Douglas be-
tween noisy hows and Kisses for Bailey and
the republican ticket. Occasionally there
was a lonely call up sung out by an up
holder of Eli Thayer, 'the constitution and
the laws" and there was a stone thrown
through the transparency, probably fred by
some virtuous citizen, who finds wisdom in the
Thayer organ, and wishes to stop the alarm

But the wide awakes paid no attention to these
demonstrations they are sure of electing all
their candidates, ana can afford to be abused
To A CoRREsPoNDENT.-The report circu.
lated 50 diligently, all about the district, by
the friends of Mr.. Thayer, that Hon, w. w
Rice of this city supports that gentleman, or
fayors his reelection to congress, is one OF the
most unwarranted falsitications that has been
heard Of lately This is our reply to a cor
respondent in the western part of the county,
who says :-"Democrats and other friends Of
Thayer say that Mayor Rice is in favor of
having him elected again"
REMEMBER THE ORPHAN's HoME.-T The
attention Of our friends in and about the city
is called to the fact that there is now large
family at the Home, to be provided for during
the coming winter, and that any fruit or
vegetables they may wish to bestow in charity
would be very acceptable at the present time.
Potatoes, the most important of all vegetables,
will be gratefully received in any quantity.
We trust that food and clothing will be gener.
ously supplied by the benevolent, on whose

impart of your abundance to those who are
destitute of the comforts you enjoy. NIX.

Souther and lady, acknowledged by their card

SUCCESSFUL FRUIT CULTURE.-Some time
since, we found on our table, one morning,
some very beautiful specimens of apples.
Among them were some splendid Hamburg
pippiDs, and "peach apples" We could not
learn the source from which they came until
recently. They came from Mr.. McCracknn of
Millbury, who seems to have been remarkably
successful in cultiyatng fruit on small plot of
ground. From trees that grow on scarcely
half an acre of land, he has gathered forty.six
barrels OF such apples as those we received
from him, besides some other applcs and othor
