cast in this precinct that read as follows !:
E" For Senator, 34th District, S. p. Brainard."
Blackhawk is in the 39th Senatorial District,
and Buchanan in the 34th Therefore, il is al
together probable that there was some deep
laid scheme between johnson and Brainard
which We poor. short sighted Union men can't
see through. But for the present We shall con.
tend that through stupidity, or woeful ignor
ance, and perhaps both, the Cops conspired to
beat themselves.

what Seventy Boys Became.

Many people begin the education of
their children with an-exhibtion of toys,
marvellous tales, silly romances, and wind
up with the circus and theatre. The de-
grading influence and sorrowful conse-
quences of this mode of education will be
best illustrated by stating few facts that
have passed under my own observation.
So far as my memory goes. about thirty
boys, educated in this way-Athat is in
contempt all useful knowledge and oc :
cupatiou, spent their days in reading nov
els, the lives and confessions of murderers,
etc, and their nights in the streets,
dramshops, gambling saloons. circus and
theatre-at the age Of forty FIVE, one had
been hung for murder, one for robbipg
the mail, and three as pirates, FIVE died in
the penitentiary, and seven lived and
died as useless vagabonds bout the streets
three were useful mechanics. and the fate
of the remainder is unknown. nasaa
0fabout forty educated with me by
really moral and scientific teacher, under
the old iogy Puritanic system of restraint
as it is now called by Young America. at
the age of ffty-fve, one was member of
Congress, onejudge of the Supreme Court
two judges of the Circuit Court, three
physicians, FIVE lawyers, fourteen were
dead, and Of the remainder farmers and
and SO far as known not one
OF them was ever called before the bar of
his country on criminal charge, and they
all had comfortable homes, except two or
three, and every one was passibly respect
able.-Dr. Ed,oard La,cson.

Nails fu. Fruit Trees.

A gentleman stated to us that while on
a visit to reighbor, his attention was
called to a large peach orchard every tree
of which was totally. destroyed by the
ravages of the worm, with the exception
of three. and that these were the most
thrifty and fourishing peach trees he ev-
er saw. The only cause of their superi-

ment made in consequence of observing
That those parts of wormcaten timber in
to which nails had been driven were gen
orally sound. When his trees were about
a year old he drove tenpenny nail>thro'
the body as near the ground as possible.
While the balance Of his orchard had
failed and finally yieldedto the ravages of
the worms, three Of these trees selected
at random, treated precisely in the same
manner with the exception of mailing, had
always been healthy, furnishing him at
the same period with the greatest profu
sion of tho most luscious fruit. 1t is
supposed that the salt of iron afforded by
the nails is offensive to the worms, while
1T is harmless. perhaps even beneficial to
the tree. A chemical writer on this SUBJ
ject says:
"Ihe oxydation of the rusting of the
iron by the sap evolves amonia which, as
the sap rises, will of course impregnate
every particle of foliage and prove to Sc
we're dose for the delicate palate Of in
truding insects"

nails into the trunk. Several expert
