siblc. We may catalogue few of them
here, 30 that loyal men may know some
| thing Of the record of this person who as
! pires to become the Governor of the State
\ which did such good and valient service
against those rebels for whom Mr.. Bucka-
| lew had such warm affection.
| While in Congress Mr.. Buckalew voted
against the Fifteenth Amendment to the
| Constitution Of the United States against
| the repeal CT the infamous Fugitive Slave
law against establishing the Freedmen's
! Bureau against Civil Rights bill, which
secured equality before the law to all men
of every color, and he voted for a constitu.
| tional amendment prohibiting negroes from
becoming citizens of the United States.
lie voted against paying bountcs to voun-
teers; against giving black soldiers the
same pay rs white soldiers against the
conscription law against payment of the
I emergency men, called out to defend his
own State, and he voted for paying rebel
slave-owners for slaves drafted or received
into the armies of the United States. He
opposed the National banking act, and the
adoption of uniform system of bankrupt
cy. He voted against the reconstruction
acts and the supplements thereto; against
the resolution excluding from the Elector-
! al College the vote of the States not vet or
gauized, and against resolution provid-
ing that neither House of Congress should
admit Senators and representatives from
the Rebel States until Congress should
have declared such State entitled to repre-
sentatiOn.
These are but few illustrations of the
character of a career which was marked by
personal opposition to every measure ap.
proved or devised by the loyal people of
the country, and by consistent support of
every scheme which could help the cause
of his rebel friends. All through that long
aud desperate struggle with the confedcr-
acy Mr.. Buckalew had no word of cheer
for the armies and the people of the North,
but always, whether in the halls of Con-
gress, or in secret conference with the re-
bel conspirators at Niagara Falls, he did
all that was in his power to do to help tho
Southern leaders and to embarrass their
opponents. This is the man who is the
rival of John +. Hartranft, the brave SOL
dier and faithful civil officer, as an aspir-
ant to the Chief Magistracy of the State.
We refuse to believe that Pennsylvania
will reject one who helped to save the I'm
ion and honor one who stroye so desperate
ly to destroy il.
To PREVENT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
rondent Of the Scientific American writes
The strongest crystalized carbOlic acid
should be placed in bottle and covered with
the same quantity of strong red cod liver
oil: shake the bottle thoroughly until a
whitish colored foam appears; if such foam
does not arise, however, Il small quantity
of powdered lime should be added, with q
little water. Pour the mixture into dish
or other convenient article, and place di-
rectly under the open window, as it is from
this quarter the mosquito enters. The
moment the mosquito enter, it loses tho
, scent of blood; for, as the combined odor
, of the oil and acid is much more powerful
then that of blood, it follows, as a conse-
quence, that the mosQuoito become sud-
denly perplexed. The consequence is, that
, aftcr scrambling and skirmishing about in
the dark, the MOSQUITOES leg, as it were, in

: APPLE BUTTER.-A correspondent of
3 the Ohio Farmer says Noticing in your
: paper an article, "Ilow to make barrel of
$ apple butter" l will give my plan: soon
c as the cider brought from the press, we
n proceed to boil it down as quickly rs pos
f sible 10 avoid fermentation, but instead of
r beginning to ill in with apples when half
e tilu Will II lWtuIJ
3 hours, we continue the boiling process till
h il is all boiled down to a good sirup, say
i about five gallons into one, which can be
t poured out into a wood or stone vessel, and
$ will keep if not ready to make up immedi-
: ately. The evening previous to making up,
}. with the assistance Of our men folks, we
d pare and core our apples, which we stew
It in little sweet cider if we have il, other
IS wise. water or some of the boiled cider
C weakened down. When the apples are
II cooked soft, We commence stirring, adding
/. the boiled cider as fast as it will bear, four
O bushels apples being quite sufficient for
). thirtytwo gallons of cider. Three hours
i brisk boiling with constant stirring will
v make il strong enough TO keep year il

" PRUNING.-AIany fruit.growers prune
u too much, cutting away all the low branch
c es, SO as to leave the tree with tall, slen-
y der, naked stem, fully exposed to all eXces-
y ses OF heat and cold, dryness and dampness.
IL Let a tree be allowed to have its own way,
y and it will be surrounded in summer with
l. a. breast of foliage. The lower branches

The objection that low branches are a
~ Eindrance to powing is only another rea-
son why they should be suffered to remain.
~ Among the many enemies OF fruit trees

le lating branches. a plow ought never pass
