There are marvellous, scandalous, and ridi.
cuious reports ailoat concerning quite all the
candidates. 1t is "a fortunate thing for the
reputation Of the city that the public know
exactly how to estimate them. Three weeks
ago the several gentlemen who are now in the
field as candidates were honest, respectable,
energetic. pnblic-spirited and valuable citi-
zcns, and democrats Of the purest water.
Now however, they are scallawags, ignor-
amusse., conniying oflice-seekers, milk-and-
water democrats, unreliable, deceitful and
dishonest fellows. Every mothers son of
them has undergone this netamorphosis since
he came out for an Office that is wanted by
somebody else.

if they had been consigned to life Of luxury

A few days ago we saw in the upper part
of the city large Washington plum-tree
loaded with SPLENDID yellow fruit, in a
neighborhood where it has been impossible
to raise plums for the past twenty five or
thirty years. 1t was planted in small
chicken-yard, about twenty feet square, and
the manure from an adjoining stable, which
formed one side of the yard, was thrown
under the tree, and was scratched and lev
elled down all over the yard by the chick
ems.
We have tried raising plums in chicken
yard, but never succeeded in obtaining
much fruit, and suppose that in this case
the fumes of the manure drove the insect
away. Insects have strong instincts, and
in all probability the little Turk, as it is
called, noticing that the manure underneath
the tree would not be a suitable substance
in which the larv;p might hibernate, re-
Trained from laying eggs in the fruit above.
We once saw similar instance in which
some espalier plum-trees in the open garden
were so infested with the curculio that not
solitary fruit could be obtained, and the
proprietor had them removed and planted
against the back wall of greenhouse, SO
situatad that the trees would only have about
two hours sun in the carly morning, The
trees afterwards bore freely and were free
from the attacks of the insect
The only way that it could be accounted
for was that the insect thought the soil in
such an exposure would be too cold and
wet for the larve, and it is probably for the
| same reason that success has attended the
fruiting of plum-trees overhanging the water
or on small islands in the middle of streams
or ponds.-Anaerican Agricuttui iSt.

Reports from Europe, during the present
week, are barely consistent with those pre-
viously received in relation to the prospects
of the wheat and grain crops. 1t is now
stated that the wheat crop now harvested is
the best that has been known for the past
ten years. The reports of blight and rust,
which have been industriously circulated
through the newspapers throughout this
country, are now suspected as canards, set
afoat for speculative purposes by those in
terested in bulling the market here. At any
rate we find no evidence of blight or rust In
the accounts which reach us from our Eu-
ropcan exchanges, nor is the crop even a
partial failure in any part of the !" old
world" In Italy and Algeria, the wheat
yield is represented as unprecedented. In
Hungary the quality is very superior this
season, but in quantity probably falls slightly
below the average, per acre. In Spain the
crop is said to be prolific to an unusual ex-
tent, and that there will be large surplus
for export. From Germany the accounts
are favorable, whilst from Southern Russia
the yield, as well as the quality, are excel
lent In the South of France the crop is
already harvested, and the yield and quality
are fully up to the average. These accounts
appear rellaDIe, anu are autnentlcateu, IN
measure, by the general tendency of prices
TO lower figure. Under these circun-
stances it would be prudent course in our
farmers to continue their present efforts to
realize on their crops as early as possible,
and to receive with caution the canards in
dustriously circulated in the newspapers by
selfish and unprincipaled Spectators, who
are interested in manipulating :" corner"
in wheat. These men can afford to pay
handsomely tor bogus European correspon-
depce.
An annual report of the crops of England
appears in the London Times. 1t estimates
the wheat crop 10 be four bushels per acre,
or about thirteen per cent. below the aver
age, and ten bushels per acre, or about
twentveight per cent. under last years crop,
but believes that considerable portion of
this deficiency will be met by the additional
average under wheat OF all the cereal crops
barley is the most variable. Comparing this
years produce with that of last year, there
is this year less wheat, but more barley, hay
straw, and altogether greater yield ofevery
description of stock goods--Ihilddetf,hio
