SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Returns OF
precincts come in slowly. No ward Is COM
plete. There is some doubt of the election
Of Bartlett, the anti-railroad candidate for
the Senate. Otis, for Mayor, heads McDon-
aid, Democrat. There is good majority
for Crowley for Chief of Police. The tax
PAYERS are beaten about $500. The returns
from the interior are imperfect, but show
great victory for the people. Sacramento,
San Jacque, Santa Clara, Los Angeles, Ala
meds, Contra Costa, Yalo and Cslusa de-
clare for the peoples independent ticket.
The Democrats claim small gain in the
Legislature. Close figuring will be required
in the Senatorial contest. s9.l
Fraud is apprehended in making the
final count in several wards for the purpose
of giving the legislative ticket of the Demo
Gratis majority. Large rewards are offered
for the detection of any attempt at frauds.
The count is believed to be unnecessarily
slow in some wards. Vigilant watch is
kept. Reports from the interior confirm
the complete victory of the anti-monopoly
party.

The Christiaa Irioa H. w. Beechcr),

less procecding-bowed his head revcr-
emily his pupils and friends did the same,
and there, in u silence that was very solemn
and very beautiful each spirit was free to
crave of the Great Spirit the blessing that was
needed. For our own part, it seems to us
that this scene of Agassiz and his pupils
with heads bowed in silent prayer for the
blessing ofthc God Of nature to be given to that
school then opened for the study of nature is
a spectacle for some great artist to spread out
worthiy upon canvas and to be kept alive in
the memories of mankind. What are coro-
nations, royal pageants, the parade Of armies,
to a scene like this? 1t hcralds the coming
of the new heavens and the new carth-the
golden age when nature and man shall be re

In the Orchard fruit trees frequently re
duire attention at this season of the year, and
any pruning which may be desirable, to put
them into good shape, may be now given
There will still be enough growth to harden
the wounds before winter, and to throw
strength into remaining limbs without start
ing them; at the same time the period of
growth has so nearly lCrlsinacd that no in
Jury will be incurred by the removal Of leaves.
Heavy pruning should never be given TO amy
tree, except those in the nursery rows; but il
often happens that the removal of cross limbs
or supernumerary shoots, or lOp-slded branch
cs, will make a handsomcr head. Suckers
should be carefully and thoroughly cleared
away; and if too large 10 be pulled oil with
the hands, they should be cut out with gOuge
and malet so as to leave no stumps a com
mon practice is to cut them Oft with knife,
an inch or two above their base, and the con-
sequence is, the stumps send up double
number next spring. Dead limbs are seen in
many orchards, the result Of the last hard win
ter after exhaustion by heavy crops. These
should be thoroughly cut out at once, if not
already done.
Apples are small crop this year, and to
make the most of the sCanty supply, gather
the windfalls and assert them carefully, plac-
ing them in cool, dry apartment, where the
decaying ones can de readily picked out. Use
for cooking those which begin to rot, and re-
move the best keepers.
In the garden, cut out the old canes in rasp-
berry rows, rs they have ceased growing, and
will no longer impart strength to the roots.
The new canes, which are still making some
growth will then thiCken and harden for win
ter. If this work is done too early, it will
check the vigOr Of the roots by the removal OF
so many leaves; and if done too late, it Will
expose too much the remaining plants. The
proper medium is when the roots have ceased
TO derive strength from the leaves on the old
canes The same rules apply to blaCkbcrres.
Raspbcrries of the Cap varictes,as all know,
may be propagated by burying the tips, and
the present is a suitable time for the opera
ton. Make u hole with a small spade or
trowel, insert the tips nearly upright to q
depth of three inches, and bury them by
closing the mole They will throw out pro
fusion of roots in a few weeks, and will make
good plants for spring setting.
Strawberries continue to grow for some
weeks, and care should be taken to keep the
runners off where beds are cultivated III dis
tmCt stools. Any vacancies should they occur,
may be easily filled by allowing strong run
ners to remain, and by extending them to the
vacancies. Where the soil is not rich enough,
thin coating Of manure on the surface will
impart vigOr to the plants.
Asparagus beds may be cleared Of all the
stalks rs soon as they show indications that
growth has about ceased, and Il thick coat OF
manure applied. 70 cut them away much

Scarcely day passes without the occur

method that should be followed, but buyers
will not pay the price asked and manuiact-
ure-s cannot afford to sell them for less. The
wrought mouth is the next best, and if the
cheek has been properly annealcd il makes
a scrvicCablc bit; cast checks, however, are
not always reliable, aud the manufacturer is
as likely 90 be deceived in this respect as the
buyer. The cas-, bit is one that ought never
