FLY IN THE WHEAT.—We regret to turn

has greatly injured the wheat in that county with
in a few days past. The Piston Star Says the
prospect fora beery yield of whcnit in that county
never was better, although theta are some com
plaints of the ravages of the fly.
So far as We have been able to ascertain. the
Wheat in Adams coanty presents a very healthy
and promising appearance—the fly having as yet
effected but little injury. The Corn, however,
has atffered much from the long continued told
and wet weather.' In some inatenies our farmers
have been compelled to TS-plant entire fields.
10WA.-e-The Free-boilora of lowa met in Con.
station on the Bth inst. and nominated candidates

for Governor. Mr. Clark will be remembered by
many of our thisens sea resident of this place some
ten or fifteen years ago, during an apprenticeship
to the Printing Business. Restless in disposition,
of an enthusiastic, aspiring temperament, rusts
witball pessessed of a more than usual degree of
smartness, he soon grew weary of the offices ne
cessarily imposed by the condition of apprentice
ship,
and auildenly decamped for parts unknown.
A very abort period served to bring him to our no
tire as a wiitcr for one of the Cincinnati penny pa
per. and subsequently as editor of an ably cunduct
ed Whig paper in Logan county, Ohio, portions
of which state he canvassed us ono of the Whig
trump apeakers. Not meeting with the political
success which his active temperament required,
he soon abandoned the editorial tripod, sold oat,
and removed to the then territory of lowa, where
he at once threw himself into the midst of the po
litical struggle waging between the Whigs and
Locofuco parties, and was returned, if we mistake
not, a member of the Territorial Council. In the
last Presidential campaign he figured prominently
among the Free Seilers of lows, and now stands
forth their acknowledged leader and champiun—
a signal evidence of whe t indomitable perseverance
and energy may accomplish.

A few weeks since, in coming down the

and respectable drat.: The child was un

from under his little Getman cap fe ll his

.After tillkingabout the cabin for a . tiokai
the father /yid son stopped within a few feet
of where we were seated, and began pre
pandione for going to bed. I watched
them. •The father adjusted and arranged
the bed the child was to occupy, which
was en upper berth, while the little fellow
was undressing himself. Having finished
this, hie father tied a handkerchief ?round
his head to protect his curls, which looked
as if the sunlight from his young happy
heart always rested there. This done, I
looked (or him to seek his resting place,
but instead of Ai.. he quietly kneeled
down on the floor, and putting his little
hands together. so beautifully childlike and
simple, and resting his arms on the lower
berth, against which be knelt, he began
his vesper prayers.
The fether sat dowtt by his side, and
waited'ihe conclusion. It waii,lbr a child,
long prayer, but well understood. I
could hear the murmuring of his sweet
voice, but could not distinguish the words
be spoke. But what a scene ! There were
men around him—Christain men—retir

at all, a kind of mental desire for protectiou,
without sufficient courage or piety to kneel
down in a steamboat's cabin, and, before
strangers, acknowledge the goodness of
God, or ask hie protecting love.
This was the training of some pious
mother. Where was she now f How
tawny times I►ad her kind hand been. laid
on those sunny locks, as she had taught
bin to lisp his prayers !
A beautiful sight it was, that child at
prayer la the midst of the busy thoughtless
throng. He, alone, of the wordly multi
tude, draws nigh to Heaven. I thank the
Fermata love that - taaght him to lisp his
evening - prayer, whether Catholic or Pro
testant, whether dead or living, whether
tar oft or nigh. It did me good; it made
sue better. I could scares refrain from
weeping then, nor can I sow. as I see
open that eweetehild, in the crowded tu
mult °fa ateamboat's cabin, bending in de
votfon before his Maker.
But a little while before I saw a crowd
of admiring listeners gathering about a
company of Italian singers, in the upper
saloon—a mother and twosons, with voice.
and harp, and violin : but no one heeded,
no one cared, for the child at prayer.
When the little boy had finished his eve
ning devotion, he arose, and kissed his
lather most affectionately. who put him in
n() his birth to rest for the night. I felt a
stong desire to speak to them but deferred
it tilt morning. When morning came, the
confusion of landing prevented me from
seeing them aglin. But, if ever I meet
that boy in his happy youth, in his anx
ious manhood, in his declining years. I'll
thank him for the influence and example
of that night's devotion, and bless the name
of the mother that taught him to pray.
Scarcely any passing incident of my life
ever made a deeper impression on my
mind. I went to my room. and thanked
God that I had witnessed it, and for its in
fluence on my heart. Who prays on a
steamboat I Who train their children to
pray, even at home

SCARLET FEVER CURED
Astonishing Effect of Water
A poor child in William street, was ta

in attendance had been remarkably unsuc

icine would do; all the cases he bad heard
of this fever were fatal, and he concluded
that no medicine could be worse than his
had proved. So in this case be order
ed Water Gruel. The poor mother knew
how' fatal this fever had been, and she
thought will give my child Brandreth's
Pills and the Gruel." So she give him
four Pills, which operated well. The doc
tor the next day was pleased, told the
mother the child was doing welliand to go
on with the waterAruel. She 'did—and
four more Pills. Every day the doctor
ordered gruel, and every day, the mother
gave from two to four Brandreth's
In a limo more tiro a•week thi child was
