We made t tie cai.vass on the issues of the day, aud presented them to the people in a calm, dispassionate, temperate manner. There was nothing of personal vituperation or resentment, but a candid setting forth of the great issues, with earnest, clomient appeals to the people to pre ervothe in.-ditutionsof the country as they came from lhe masterly hands of their dc Mgners.

The fine weather of October and Xovembcr usually presents favorable opportunities for finishing the Pall work and putting everything in propcrtrim for Winter.

When stubble land is plowed in the Pall it will be porous and friable in the Spring, not heavy and damp like that which has remained uutdow d. The furrows or , . t trenches between the ridges, "lands or ''flats" make excellent channels for carrying away water, provided suitable outlets arc formed in the lowest parts of the field. Wheat fields should be examined, and if there arc any low patches where there is a possibility that water will lodge and injure the plants, surface drains should be made from them to the nearest outlet. Much damagi is done annuall to nheat fQld. etc., by fdngnant water lying on the plants for several weeks at a time, covering them with mud and killing them most effectually.

Nothing improves the (inalitv of manure Letter than a careful i admixture of all kinds of suitable solids and a saturation with liquid manure. Kvery farmer who has not already a liquid manure tank, .should provide one without delay. In it the urine of cattle, and soap suds and slops from the house should be conveyed by tile or box drains. This liq uid will be found invaluable for top-drcsss ing grass land, applying to root crops, or saturating muck or barn yard manure. In laying the foundation of a manure heap in the field, a hollow place sli mid be selected, but il should not be liable to da 11arc from stagnant water. Into this hollow a large mrantity of muck or rich soil-diould ! be drawn and piled to the hight of one or j two feet, to i rm a foundation for the maInure heap, and absorb anv liquid tint mav ooze through it.

The grent meteorie shower of 1709 seems to have drawn - :tno attention of astronomers more partichave been endeavoring to refer the different phasc3 and characteristics of the phe nonicnon to known laws, and to establish the exact anniversary of Us appearance. Thus far the more brilliant of these meteoric showers have occurred at intervals of o.i years; that of IJnj." was especially distinguished by the immense number of moving meteors to be seen at once, and for the remarkable size and splendor of many It wai recognized L3' several observers by it3 extraordinary f-ize and brilliancy, as well as l3 the length of time its train re inaiued visible, which was about ten minutes. The luminous train seemed to fuN low the meteor in a serpentine course, and finally disappeared ju a vast nelmlous cloud many times larger than the moon, and which continued to move onward with a velocity greater than the clouds. The meteoric displays of 1709 and were characterized bv the faff of meteorites, which, rushing towards the surface of the earth with a loud noise, pouetrated beneath it several feet. The periodicity of these starry showers is not so definitely ascertained with rs-gard to the day as to the year. Thev have recurred to a greater or less degree in the months of August and November, from 1S.'. to 1839 ; but the most remarkable of them have appeared on the PJth of November, or between that date and the 14th. The 1 i appearance of the meteoric phenomenon, therefore, is expected on cr ab.jtit the 12th of next mouth. The ob servations of astronomers have demonstrated that the shooting stars are more niu merous between midnight and sunrise, and the majority of them aaree in fixing tue radiant point. that point n which the lines described by the meteors in their flight centre in the constellation Leo, limiting the area of radiation to the immediate vicinity of llegulus in the neck of the lion. Others assign the radiant point to the con stelhition Orion The theory most generally accepted in accoun'.in- for the rcMilar recurrence nf meteoric showers, is that an unusual aggrogati.rn of these asteroids exists in the plane which is reached by the earth at that point ..1 Wo ,...1.;, -...1,1. ,1. ...l.;..l. ,1... .ir,i. -'1 il.J I') UU, (I II .

( ouitig:.! Infidt-Iify Two Uaj ! I.oUi'irios Calient ly an fiajnicd Iliisliarn!. From the Detroit Free Tress, Oct. l.'t. One of tho.-c sad instances of conjugal infidelity, by which the peace of a family has been blasted, a woman's reputation ruined, a young family disgrace J, and aloud husband crushed with shame, was vesterV day published tothe world. It appears that the young mother of three children, residing on or near the (Urand llivcr road, became smitten with the attractions of a 3'1ung gentleman living near her, and taking advantage of the absence of her husband, about a week since, sent him, by the hand of one of her chilJren, an invitation to make her an evening call. The gentleman did so, and received such a cordial welcome that the visit was repeated several times. The intimacy became of a very criminal character. Although managed with great circumspection, this intrigue was detected by a person who shall be designated as Mr. X. Mr. A., approaching the fair frail one with threats of exposure, induced her to consent to add one more to her infidelities. and receive his nocturnal visits. Thursday night Mr. X. paid the charmer a visit, and whde in her room was surpised, and his escape cut off, by the unexpected viit of the other favored lover. It was but the work of a moment for the siren to conceal him iu a closet and then to receive his rival. At this juncture the husband of the dam j made his appearance, having return ed to his home sooner than he had expect ed, and succeeded iu surprising himself as well as his wife. The young Lothario stoo l not upon the order ot his going, but went at once, through the back wiudo.v, without going, through the formality of resuming the cumbersome attire which he had laid aside. The husband followed him, and Mr. X., thinking the opportunity for escape a good one, made a third in the chase, only to come to grief, for the .husband, returning to his di.-houore 1 house, met him coining out, and proceeded to administer personal chastisement, which all must acknowledge was well deserved. This affair has resulted in the abandonment id' the sinning wife and her little children by the injured husband, who either has gone or intend to go to California to live, leaving to Providence and her own conscience the pnuihuient of his faith'es snou-e.
