We the undersigned democrats of Nor
ris township, having signed the call for o
meeting at Curwensville on the 3rd of
September 1861, wish to have it expressly
understood that we did so, supposing the
object Of the meeting was 10 give an ex-
preston of its disapprobat!on of certain
resolutions passed in Convention at st.
Mary's, which resolutions we consider to
be un-democratic, encouraging to South

our Country. We expected The meeting
to be purely democratic, unmixed with
abolitionism, spiritualism,
or any other conglomerate isms Of the day.

keep the fruit from touching the ground
which delays ripening, creates mould,
invites cut-worms, and always gives
the Tomato an earthly taste. Try for
only one cluster, (the first that bios
soms) and cut everything else grad
ually away. This will give you Toma-
toes in perfection in the latitude OF
Buffalo, four or six weeks earlier than
they are usually ripened in our climate.
If you wish late Tomatoes, pull up
each plant by the root just before the
frost comes) and hang them up on the
south side of building, top down with
a blanket to roll up days and let fall
nights. When ice makes, hang them
up In any room that does not freeze,
or in dry cellar, and you will have
fresh Tomatoes all winter-somewh
shrivelled but of very fine flavor.
Having thus brought this Tomato to
comparative perfection, / wish to have
the seed scattered as widely as posi-
ble. This last season / saved, with
great care, some of the seed from the
most perfect fruit in my garden, and l
have left it with Mr.. Charles V. Mapes,

Strawberry Culture.

A writer in the american Farmer
gives few plain rules which he says,
if followed to the letter, will prove
themselves good rules. They are, 1st.
Never have the beds so wide as to re-
quire the gatherer even to lean on them.
I'd. Never use animal manure. Sd.
Keep the beds clear of weeds and grass.
| find that any time from August to
the blooming season will answer for
transplanting. The first requisite is to
have the bedsin good order. Lay them
off FIVE feet wide, then spread evenly
over them good coating of well rot
ted wood-pile manure or woods-mould,
which is to be deeply spread in. Dur
ing moist or rainy spell set the plants
in three rows and from II to PA inches
apart in the row. l never permit the
runners to take entire possession of my
beds, but keep them back by pinchi,sg
in the spring, and a fall aoeeding. By
this treatment my beds are pretty well
covered without being matted. After
the fall wedding, the beds are sowed
over with wood ashes, and during the
early winter, as there are opportunities,
they are covered over with wood pile
manure or spent tan. During the ear
ly spring, when the beds are covered
with young green leaves, they are well
busted with plaster or shell lime, and
when the blooms show themselves, they
are again sowed over with ashes.
These sowings are alscuys made in
damp weather. This comprises the
entire culture required to ensure this
fruit in perfection.

o say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last
cleaning?
Whose broad stripes aud bright stars through the
perilous fight,
Der the ramparts we watched, were so calamity
streaming;
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in
air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was
still there;
o say. does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave
Ger the land of the freeand the homeof the brave.
On the shore, dimly seen through the msts of the
deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence
reposes,
What is that which the breeze Ger the towering
steep,
As it ftfully blows, now conceals, now discloses
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings first
beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines in the stream;
IT'S the Star Spangled Banner; o long may IT
wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the brave
And where are the foes who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battles confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more;
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps
pollution;
No refuge could save, the hireling or slave
From the terror of fight the gloom of the grave
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph doth
Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave
thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the wars desc

Blest with victory and peace. may the heav'n res

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust -
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall
