From an article under our Agricultural head,
.onied from the Farmers Register, 1t would
seem that the Tomato is a protection against
chirch Bug. lfthis should really prove to be
the case, the discovery is Invaluable to parts OF
the c.untry infested BY that destructive insect
We some weeks sgo suggested the trial OF China
or Pride of india leaves, and the elder. From
what we know Of the aversion Of most, If not
all insects to this tree and shrub we still think
them worth trying, when no better remedy can
be procured. Ifhowever the tomato is found to
prove effsctual it is more easily propagated, and
planted in the middle of the row, can do corn
little injury. 1t would prevent raising crop OF
peas with the corn. But the crop of peas is
much less valuable than that Of corn, it would
therefore be better TO lose it, If either must he
lost.
But supposing the tomato to be protection to
Indian corn when planted among it, can il
be used to protect wheat and oats7 1t could, we
sappese, be done only by planting row round
the field and one here and there across, which
as the bug travels on the ground might possibly
interrupt his progress.
We take it for granted that all in the bug re.
gion win stop eating tomatoes for the present
season and save all their seed. Those who do
no, plant themselves, may benefit their friends
and neighboss aad especially the poor, who are
least pt to have such articles in their gardens.by
saving seed for them.

but of late the same calamity which destroyed
it about this time last season, has again com.

The Lou Black Schooner Captured.
The runaway schooner has been captured
bv the u. s. surveying brig Washington
Lieut.. Geduey and carried into New London.
She is the "Armistad," of Puerto Principe.
Cuba, and was owned by Mr.. Carrlas, ofthat
place AT the time she was TAX n possession
Of by the slaves. she was bound from Havana
to N. uvita+. with cargo Of dry goods, and
about fifty slaves. The slaves rose upon the
captain and passengers, and killed nearly the
whole oftfem.
The trial of these blacks will involve several
curious questions, which we shall notice here
after.
P.S. Since writing the above, we have
received the following letter:
Correspondence of the Journal OF Commerce.
New LONDON, Aug. u, 1889
The surveying brig Washington, Lieut..
Gedney, put in here last nigh, with. the
schooner reported by your pilot boats: She
proves to be the schooner which lett Havana
in June, with negroes, for neighboring port.
The slaves murdered all the white men, and
then intended to 90 to Africa but brought up
on this coast She had touched near Mon
tauk Point, and got supply of water, &c.
The head negro jumped overheard, when
the boats from the brig came along side, and
it was with some difficulty he was recovered
and saved. The negroes made no resistance.
One of the white men saved is the owner OF
the slaves, as he says. One or two of the ne
groes died yesterday and several arc suck. 1t
il said there is money and jewels on board ol
the value of $4,000, but this is mere report.
The schooner lies down the harbor awaiting
| the arrival Of the u. 8. Marshal.
frbis is an interesting exploit for the boys
ofthe Washington, for she is manned with
thirty or forty Navy apprentice boys, and only
three or four men. She is engaged in survey.

The Philadelphia Inquirer states that, IN
consequence of information which transplred a
few days since at New York, Custom House
officer came on from that city on Monday
morning, and made seizure of a large con-
signment of woollen cloths at respectable
commission merchants store in Front street.
Rumor gives various accounts as to the value
of the goods seized-from sixty thousand to
one hundred thousand dollars. 1t is. at any
rare, the largest seizure ever made in Phlla-
delphia. The grounds for proceeding on the
part of the Custom House are said to be max
ina entries at less than the real value. 1t Is
rumo.ed that the importer, for some years
resident of New York, ls now missing.
