OF which is, that there may be some method devils

crop by this destructive insect. am sensible that
the nature Of the fly, IFS operations and transorma-

FREE BANKING. A year ago the Legislature of
New York passed law granting the privileges of
free banking the people OF the State, upon the
pledge of stocks and real estate for the redemption
of the bills. The number of banks established un-
der this law is 109 The amount of capital sub
scribed is $25 769l75; that contemplated by future
increase is 1886 ,939, 900. The Worcester Egis
remarks The experiment of ng adopted in
New York one of great interest While better
and greater security is provided for the redemption
of notes, by the deposte of stocks and the mort

issue of bills has increased to extent which may
inundate the community with paper, resting on a

debt. Yet the deposte of the evidence of one debt

VIRGINIA ELECTION This election will Toxic
place on the 4th Thursday Of May. The contest
will be more animated than any previous one for
years in the same State. The candidates are
'stumpping it"-meeting face to face before the
people, and explaining their views of the political
measures of the administration. The Wing papers
from thence speak encouragngy of the prospects.
The Wings had six of the members of the last
Congress- but are confident of electng ten at this
trial, and hope to elect thirteen.
