fulness to the party, when l remem-
ber that ] am so lily qualified, by ed
ucation or address, to adorn the posi-
tion of Senator. / believe they paid

hardly consider tile "obligations' he
mentions as more than merely nom
inal. The people called him TO a
post Of honor and duty, which he
filed SO well and acceptably that
they chose him for the same again.
We regret that he has resigned, and
cannot but think tho act to have
been done without known cause and
upon too slight consideration. We
know, however, that 1t was prompted
by q most delicate and sensitive,
though in this case somewhat mis-
taken, sense of honor. But the fact
exists; and it remains only to choose
the best man to fill the place left va
cant by the resignation.

A THRIFTY GHOST.

In the State of Ohio, not long ago
a well-to-do farmer took sick and
died. Soon after his decease the
rest of the family, which consisted
of the widow and three children,
were very much annoyed by ghost.
This apparition generally made its
appearance about midnight, when il
was first heard moving about in the
garnet of the house, from whence it
descended flight of stairs and wan
dered in the upper apartments of
the house.
This so frightened the bereaved
family that they were about to sell
out and seek home elsewhere, when
q friend from a distance came to pay
them a visit, and to whom the condi-
tien of affairs was related; upon
which the visitor, being a man Of
courage, expressed his desire to see
the.ghost- Accordingly. when night
came, he posted himself in the room
at the foot of the stairs, and being
well armed, he patiently waited for
the appearance of the ghost. AS
usual, about midnight it was heard
in,the garnet of the house, and was
soon seen coming down the stairs.
AS it advanced, the sentinel at the
foot of the stairs, commanded it to
halt; but as it did not obey this COM
mand, he struck it on what he sup
posed to be its head, with a weapon
he had selected for the purpose. The
would-be ghost fell sprawling down
upon the floor, and upon being un-
masked, was found to be the broth
CT of the bereaved wifs's husband,
who, for some time past, had been
negotiating and was about to sue
coed 10 getting his brothers prop
erty, which consisted of q good
farm. -

SMALL FRUITS.

Barn-yard manure, well decompo
sed, is as good or better than any
anv other application. Ashes are
valuable, as is bone dust. Guano
should be used with canton; about
eco pounds to the acre is enough.
Canes ofbiaekberries that have once
frulted should be cut away, your
fruit for next year will be borne on
the wood that grows this year. Cut
quite down to the ground when they
have done bearing. A shelter of
pines or other trees would be great
advantage. You would have fewer
plants winter-k killed, and the crops
would be sarer and earlier.

APPLE WORMS.

VIII
We Gull the following facts con-
corning these intolerable pests, from
the American Entomologist:
1t has long been known that, by
placing an old cloth, or any thing of
that nature, in the crotch OF an ap-
p tree, the worms may be dtcoyed
into building their cocoons under
meath it, and can thus be destroyed
by wholesale.
DIR. Trimball's m ethod, which is
about the same thing AID which has
been found to be practically benef-
cial, is to fasten two or three turns
of a hayban around the trunk
of the apple tree, and every few
days, from The middle of September,
TO slip the band up and destroy the
cocoons that hive from tir e to time
been formed on ,he bark underneath
it.
All authors are agreed as to the
practical importance of picking up
and destroying the wormy apples as
fast as they fall, either by hog pow
er, or, when that is announcement or
imprudent. by man power. The
practical utility of allowing gang
of rogs the range of tie apple orch
ard throughout the summer, is I'M
doubted. When we consider that
every female moth that matches out
in July or August, from the first
brood of apple worms, will probably
deposit All egg in some two or three
hundred nearly matured apples, thus
rendering them more or less unsafe

the wormy VANDALISM the forepart
of tbs, season at all, events-beeomes
