AS public cpinion seems to have settled upon
our fellow Citi2 N on the BrandYwino, as the
standard bearer of the Union party OF Della
ware, in the approaching political campaign
and II worthy standard bearer he will be found
it Is incumbent upon his friends to sustain
their profession by their acts, and to omit no
efforts by which they can secure bis certain
aud triumphant election to the honorable sta
ton for which be is to be selected
Mr.. Riddle while equally honest and capable,
is by oil odds the most available candidate
named as yet for the office oil Governor. No
individual hitherto brought forward can stand
the ghost OF q chance for success under the
existing condition OF affairs in this state, as
compared with him, 1t may not be good pol
icy at the present to name them in DETAIL but
it will require the full force OF all the eXtran =
eous circumstances, that contributed to elect
our late lamente1 Cannon, to be brought to
bear on this contest in order to carry 1t thro'
10 a happy termination, and we can say with
confidence that no other man can command
them at this time except Mr.. Riddle.
At the earnest solicitation OF his trieuds, not
OF his own seeking, he has permitted himself
10 be placed in the front rank of what is to be
this bitter battle OF the principles Of loyalty
huN&n!ty and freedom against treachGry, crime
and tire ison. But MIR. Riddle cannot fight thit
battle alone. His friends must be up and dc
ing and there should rally around him every
man who desires to see his State red emed iron
The INSCRIPTIONS grasp OF the roton factor
which dominates her character and destiny a
the present moment, and is ready TO sink hei
still farther in the gulf of political and legis-
latiye intamy, which makes her very name nov
stink in the nostrils of all loyal States,-it b.

Let this, the outpouring of the people in ia

be such, wherever his nomination or election
is involved rs will strike terror into the soul

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Although our public schools in Wilmington
are very well conducted perhaps with some
exceptions, still they are not all that they
should he, Aud it is surprising that the pub.
lie mind s still so lukewarm on the all impor-
tant subject of education. | am frequently
told that numbers of applications are constant
~ made At the doors Of our primary schools
for the admission of children who arc eligible
to seats and still their doing parents are met
with the sad intelligence no seats, no uasant
seats And yet our people refuse to vote monoy
to bn,ld and establish high school ia which
uGr children could be taught the higher
branches Of an English educ Alton, such AS they
have in the city 0. Philade pha.
II we had high school tho1e who are well
siynnced could enter il and that would make
room tor more children in the primary schools,
Rad our public school ayslem will never be
complete ithout it,
The movement now on foot to induce the
'suchers to goto the normal school, or teachers
iu-iltHte Ia good one, and the public, hope,
will urge it until every teacher ia required to
attend some such organization regularly or
forfeit their position and give place to some
whose whole mind ia on teac ching, and who
follow II because they love it better than any
other occupation. Such teachers should be
sought out by the Board of Education and
placed IN the most responsible positions, and
such teachers shCnld he well paid for theil
services, for the value of such cannot be esti.

SEED CoRa.-Not only should extra care be
taken to have all corn designed for planting
next spring, thoroughly ripened and dried, but
the best ears should be selected.
Those ripening FIRST are quite likely to pro.
duce the earliest ripeniug crop when planted
again.
The largest ears should be taken, and thesa
from the most prolific stalks. Those which
are perfect, having the kernels well filled out
at both ends, should in all cases be chosen.
These matters are quite too often overlook
ed. We have known many farmers wis have
expended Ave to ten dollars or more per acre
in preparing and planting piece of ground,
from which they have gathered halta crop,
simply for the want OF shillings worth Of
time in selecting aud preparing the best seed,
and this, in greater or less degree, Is too
much the case generally. 1t is like that other
piece of bad economy practised by multiu,des,
who send their children to the district school
a wear at an expense of thirty to fifty dollars
for clothing, teachers, &c, and yet lose half
the benefit TO be derived, simply because they
withhold one extra shilling for suitable kind
of a book.
We urge every farmer to go over his corn
fields himself, as soon as the crop is ripened
| aud gather out the kind OF ears we have iudi.
Gated, AMI then either husk md store thea
away in dry room, or go back to the old
| fashioned plan of stripping down the husks,
| and braidnE them together 80 that the seed
ears may be hung up in the attic or some other
| safe, dry place.-Germantown Telegraph.

REMEDY FOR GIRDLED TREEs.-Mr. Maxwell
Graham, Sto", Summit County, Ohio, writes:
In answer 10 any inquiry, for a remedy for
girded trees, that; ~ bank up such trees with
sods, some six or eight inches above the
wound, pressing the sods down firmly around
the trees. New roots will start above the
wound. never had one to fail to live when
treated in this manner, ifattended to early 10
the Spring, before the wood has become dry"
Some Of the members OF the Club ques stone 4
the efficiency of the remedy, when s. Edwards
Todd stated that Mr. Maxwell's remedy ia en-
tirely reliable and orthodox as he could at
test from experience. Before he left the farm
in Tompkins County n T., to go to the City,
the mice girdled ons of his apple trees while
it was surrounded by snow bank, removing
all the bark for two feet high. By raising q
mound of earth around the tree, four feet or
more in diameter, and higher tban the girdled
portion Of the tree, he saved the tree, aud it
il now living. A system of new roots was
sent out near the top Of the grdled portion
just as Mr.. Maxwell states in his letter.
Should the wounds not be covered for several
weeks after the growing season has commenc
ed, the wood will become dry, and dead, aHd
the tree cannot be saved.

DAIRYIhG IN EsGLAsD'-lu the Utica Herald
of the 10th inst, is another com municstion
from y. A. Willard, Eco, in reference to his
Inspection II the dairy districts of England
His observations on the process OF cheese and
butter making in the principal grazing sections
of England are to be torwa rded in a circular
to the Dairyman's Association for distribution
among the members. We quote from his last
letter as Observation-Disclosures is also noted for
its cheese, Of which large quantities are made.
1t bears the name of Oheddar, from a small
village at the foot otthe Mendip hills. The
name originated from tho farmers OF the viii
lsge uniting the milk OF their cows FIR the pur-
pose Of making larger cheese.
This wae done at each Cther's house 10 turn.
From that time, which was about one hun
dred years ago, thick cht csc made In Somer-
setshire has borne the name of Cheddar and

from 10 lbs: to 100 lbs; the shape is from 10
inches TO Ia inches 10 depth, and l51 in d.

This county, and the others south, have suf
fered very little from the cattle plague. Dial.
ry cows, however, are high {or what lie esteem

qualities Of first class diaries in Herkimer snd

The annual average yield of cheese from
each COW is about 4bO lbs. The cheese sea-
sou commences about the first of March. The
cows are not kept in barns or close stables, al
is the practice in New York, but in she'd

Hoos IN APPLE ORcHARps--It IL said by
those farmers who have prscticed turning
hoga into their apple orchards, that the fruit
grown the second year, aud after, is much
tairer than when NO hogs were allowed 10 run
ia the orchards, Tue secret of the matter is
thsi the apples that fall to the ground contain
worms, aud being speedily devoured, the
worms have no chance to deposit their eggs
for new progeny Of insects to iufsst the
trees the next season. There Is reason in this
and 1t should be tried.-Rural New Yolk.r,
