For SENAToR.-We are inform
ed by Cyrus Foreman Esq. of Usage
that \. e. Case of Bradford has
been put in nomination for State
Senator from this Senatorial dis
trict. He is one of the men in
Northern Iowa we delight to honor.
An attorney skilled in his profess
ron, against whom no word of re-
proach can be uttered by an honest
opponent, a man devoted to the in-
tcrcsts Of the people versus the vul-
lures and comorants that biennial
ly flock to the State cap itol to feed
aud fattcn upon their substance.
An honest man, whom if elected
will serve the interests of the PEG
pie, if defeated, the misfortune
to them is greater than to Mr.
Case.

1t is humiliating fact, which cannot be
explained ethnologically, that the amount of
patronage at these cafes in the Exposition is
determined almost entirely by the girls who
dispense the viands and fluids. An Egyptian
beauty, with argentldded flashing eyes,
tawny skin and ripe voluptuous lips, had it
all her own way first. The vilest coffee was
resailed with IMMUNITY. and passionate ad-
mirers swallowed it by the pail -full, and
wished that they could say good word for
Pharaoh IN the vernacular. Then there was
an importation Of English girls with sunny
mountain gorge of hair on their heads, aud
eyes that were blue and calm and perilously
deep. The Egyptian was deserted, and there
was a rush for the English restaurant. Young
men of susceptible temperaments could be
seen with sandwich in one hand and q glass
of pale ale in the other. planting the seeds of
early suicide, and signing sadlybetween each
distracted mouthful. Presently came the
Holanders, with astonishingy high dresses,
both in the region of the neck and of tie an
kles, and great casque of gold fastened to
their heads, and vast quantity of light NUS
lin in unexpected places. The novelty was
irresistible until the Bavarians produced
superior article, and commanded the tickle
patronage Of the gallant world. The strug

PEACH TREEs.-Examine around the crown
Of the root, for the borer. If there, his posi-
ton will be known by an abundance of gum
my excrescence, which should be cleaned
away, and then seek the borer by means of a
sharp knife. Full grown insects at this sea-
con are nearly an inch long, whitish, with a
yellowish brown head; clean them all out
and pack the fresh earth up around the tree
in little mounds, one to one and half feet
high, and in September next examine the
trees agaiis-~~heq the insects will be found
quite small but mostly above the level Of the
mound you now make. Young peach tree s
should have the strong limbs headed back
from one quarter to one half of last years
growth, and the small twigs cut back to three
or four strong buds. or If very small twigs
cut entirely away. This will assist in keep
ing the tree in form and prevent il from be-
coming struggling in growth, so that when it
comes into bearing half the limbs will break
down.
