Set out More Plum Trees.

There is a secret about plum raising
We have discovered in travelling oyer
the country. We never visited large
plum orchard in our life that we did not
find plenty of the fruit. Now these facts
set us to thinking; and the result of ouE
thoughts is this: that it is very easy
to have all the plums you want to eat
and sell. The secret connected with
plum raising is to plant plenty of trees
so as to give fruit TO the curculio and to
yourself also.
If You will plant fifty or q hundred
trees, you will have fruit enough for
everybody. Every such orchard that
we ever visited had plenty of ripe
frait. Some even complained that the
curculio did not thin out the fruit
enough-that the trees were overload
ed. SO we say to our readers, If you
plant plums at all, plant fifty or one
hundred trees-theD you will be sure to
have all the fruit you want. 1t sells
from FIVE to ten dollars a bushel and is
one of the most profitable crops raised
-Rmdl Uorld.

Tree Planting.

In planting trees this fall, we should
remember that it is requisite to set the
tree just rs deep as to enable it to stand,
hCaping MP earth to protect it from the
winters frosts; and as soon as spring
opens, and the ground is leveled down,
the roots will start and seek their
appropriate depth.
If we dig a deep hole, especially in
hard clay soil, and fill it with good
loan, and set our tree therein, we first
invite the water there as into a cistern (;
and second, we cause vigorous growth
of roots, until they reach the undis-
turbed clay, when a check is at once
perceptible, and often an orchard stands
from five TO seven years without appar-
emily making any progress. Remember,
then, and plant your trees just so deep
as to cover their roots, but no more (;
then earth up for winter protection
against frest for the first year, and dress
down again to level in the spriug.-

A RADICAL CIRCULAR, OF which its
authors are so much ashamed that they
won't acknowledge its parentage, says
that SEYMOUR aud BLAIR represent all
that is disloyal to the Government,
friends of the supporters of the rebel
lion, and of the men whose hands are
red with the blood of our friends and
brothers"
How about LoNGSTREET, JOE BROWN
and twelve hundred other rebel leaders,
who have been enfranchised to vote the
Radical ticket?
The same circular thus invokes the
faithful in this couty: advance your
standard to the point a majority in
Ohio county"
This stirring appeal is SO clearly
expressed that the "loyal people" to
whom it is addressed had not at last &C.
counts ascertained whether they were
desired to advance backwards or re-
treat forwards"

Rcudiug for Farmers Boys.

An intelligent and thrifty farmer
says: "But for the cooperation Of my
boys l should have failed. l worked
hard and so did they. The eldest is
near twenty -oue, and the other boys in
the neighborhood, younger, have left
their parents; mine have stuck to me
when I'most needed their services. |
attribute this result to the fact that l
have tried to make home pleasant for
them. l have furnished them with at
tractive and useful reading; and when
night comes, and the days labor is end
ed, instead of running with other boys
to the railway station and adjoining
towns, they gather around the great
lamp, and become absorbed in their
books and papers,
Such is substantially the testimony
OF farmer who has known how hard
the struggle for footing on free soil
without a capital is, and how valuable
and comparatively cheap are the aids
which good reading brings him.-Er.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer /

The following has been handed US
for publication. 1t is from the pen of
an estimable Israelite of this city:
To the Hebrews of Cincinnati.
Wherefore they called these days
Purim, after the name of Pur. The
Jews ordained and took upon them,
and upon their seed, and upon all such
as Joined themselves upon them, so as 1t
should not fail, that they would keep
these two days, according to their writ
ing; and that those days should be re-
membered and kept throughout every
generation, erery family, every province
and erery city, and that these days OF
Purim, should not fail from among the
Jers, nor the memorial of them perish
from their seed."-Book of Esther chap.
9, verses 26, 81, %.
HEBREWS: You, as a class-a people
are intesested as to who should be elect.
ed as President "in the days of Purim,"
in November.
Before you vote in November, read
the Book of Esther, read Haman's Gen
eral Order" and then read Grants Gen
eral Order" Remember the duty you otce
10 yourselves as people. OF what use, if
the memorial of the days of Purim
should not fail from among the Jews, If
you, as a people, do not now hang Ha-
maa On the gallows tkat had been made
for Merdecai.
In spirit, intent, and word, Grant rep
resents Haman. Have Hebrews forgot
en- Esther and Mordecai.
Many of you voted in the October
elections for the Republican candidates.
This you may have considered best; but
in November it will hardly be possible
that you, any of you, will vote for oae
who has thrown, as far as he could,
odium aud scorn upon you as class.
Vote against your wonld.be Hannah
it is not enough that you do not vote at
all; that is not the way Esther and
Mordecai dealt with Haman and his ten
sons.
Let "Jews, as class" show next No
vember that they are not to be despised,
spit upon, and that they will kiss the
hand that smites them.
Let "Jews as a class" exhibit in No
vember to Grant and his ten sons (tol-
lowers) that they have read the "Gener-
al Order" and that in November they
will certainly not be inside of his
precincts.
Let "Jews, as a class, vote for Sey-
mour as the most positive way of tell
ing Grant that they are true to their
people.
Let "Jews, class" in Cincinnati, by
their vote against Grant, in November,
prove that they are not to be despised,
even by the greatest captain of the
age"
Finally, Hebrews, remember the days
of Purim, and why you remember those
days.
Remember Esther and Mordecai to
praise them.
Remember Haman and Grant TO an
athematize them.

The Workingm en-.

The New York DemOcraP of Wednes-
day has a ringing appeal to the work
ing Democracy, in the course of which
it says:
at is a common contest, in which we
are all engaged. 1t is battle for the
right, for the protection of ourselves,
our wives, and our children from Radi-
cal robberies. Let US, therefore, all
work till the polls be closed on the
night of November Sd. Let us 90 to
the polls early, vote quick, and then go
AT once to find one or more Democrats
who have not voted. Call them from
the shops, the stores, the streets, tie
places of toll and business, of profit or
of pleasure, that every vote in the city
and county may be deposited for Dem
ocracy and the Right; for the benefit of
ourselves and our children, more than
for the idle pets of rotten adminis'ra-
tion

To-day.

The time for argument has passed.
The hour for action has come. To every
man who desires the peace and perpetu-
ity of the American Republic solemn
duty comes home to-day. To every
such man is presented the choice be-
tween union, harmony and perpetuity,
upon the one hand, and disunion, an
archy and ruin upon the other. Radical
rule means evil, only evil, and that con-
t;nually. Democratic rule means last
ing and substantial good to every citi
zen is his every interest. Between the
two the decision must to-day be made,
and as we discharge er neglect the du-
ties imposed by the occasion, will our
responsibilities be light or weighty.
Who is there, then, that can calmly
hold back his hand from any act, which
may tend to turn this days decision in
behalf of the Right and the Just ! Can
asy man claiming to be.a Democrat-or
to appeal to higher than partisan con-
siderations-can any good citizen delib-
erately abstain from lending the weight
of his personal effort and influence to
the defence Of popular liberty and gov
ernment whose cause is now on trial 1t
the ballot-boxi 1t IS not a mere per-
sonal matter; it is not a question of
temporary concern, whether Radicalism
and its ruinous ideas shall triumph or he
defeated at the polls o-day. 1t is a
question that concerns the Nation ana
the Nations posterity-aqu question upon
which the destiny of our country for
many generations may turn. From
'his day may date an epoch of higher
prosperity and freedom than this land
has ever known; from this day may be
ushered in an era of strife, lawlessness,
bloOdshed and ruin without parallel.
If halt be not called to-day in the
mad march through which fanatics
have led our people in the recent years,
the end of all that is valuable in free
government may be reached before an
other opportunity to avert disaster can
return. If the stamp of popular disap-
proval this day fall upon tho party and
policy which aim at the subversion of
our system, every evil may be remedied
and the Nation, strengthened and puri-
fed by its trials, may resume its march
in the paths of liberty and peace.
1t is useless now to speculate on the
result. 1t will be known with the NOR
row. Our only duty is to labor this day
to make that result such as we would
wish it. Relax no effort, spare no pains,
bend every energy to the prosecution
of this days business. Let every man
do what he can, and all he can to rescue
our country and its institutions from
the fate which threatens them. From
the diligence of to-day may come tie
delight Of tomorrow, hut whether we
win or fail, he "who does the best his |
allows" will feel the con-
sciouSness of having labored faithfully |
and manfully in behalf of the interests |
this day imperilled, and of having earn
ed right to survey the final result
without a single pang of self-reproach.

CONVICTIONS are now made. We are
through with argument, and nothing
remains but to bring out those who
have their minds made up! Let moth
ing prevent you from depositing your
votes to-day. Go to the polls early and
stay there until you get your vote in,
and then go after your neighbor. Dem
ocrats are poor; there will be no money
to distribute to loungers for whisky.
Any man whose vote depends on money
must seek Republicans. But we appeal
to you, unbought men, to give to-day
for your country.
