FRUIr TREEs.-A correspondent of the n Y.
Tribune says he has ascertaned that black ants are
the producers of the worms which nfest almost all
kinds Of fruit. They built cotton-like nests in the
crotches of the trees or grape vines, in which q
worm is Matched. Get the ants off, and then tie a
rope around the tree or vine, the ground, and
pour above it composition OF lard and tar, or clear
ant will pass il.

OGDENsBURGH ROAD.-It was with surprise, that
our readers learned by our last number, that the
stock to this important enterprise was taken. Many
had become languid, thinking it a hopeless task
but not SO, those who watched most closely and
gave to the laws of capital and trade their due con-
sGeraton. But the news came SO unexpectedly,
that was scarcely credited. The manner in which
the stock came to be taken was, that there was an
old provision in the Revised Statutes conflicting
with the charter unless the company should be
forthwith organized. This state of facts was made
known to the eastern capitalists through the agen-
cy of Hon. A. C. Brown Of this village. and the
stock was at once taken.
Mr.. Brown returned last evening" and in con-
versation with him this morning, he assured US,
that not only was the stock taken but taken quick
ly, literally and with the utmost confidence, not
only that the road would be speedily constructed,
but with determination that operations should
commence in September next.
Some have attempted to cast doubts upon the
subject, but Judge Brown that there are no
IFS" as obstacles but that the subscription is in
good faith, and that the stockholders wait only a
proper time to organize and commence.
Even the European journals speak of the entire
feasibility of this route from Europe to the Cana
dian province; and we venture to predict that the
day is not far distant when this village will be the
point whence will flow large stream of western
and Canadian travel-froHier Sentinel, 5h.

We select the following laughable paragraphs
from the Boston Mails
Did you ever know lady with very white teeth
to put her hand over them when she laughed?
Did you ever know boy to keep piece of
plumb cake till it was mouldy?
Did you ever know money dealer that did not
expect panic, and great distress in the money
market
Did you ever know person to believe you when
you explained how you got black eye?
Did you ever know young lady that did not
have some very curious pieces Of sowing, that she
wouldn't let the young gentlemen sec?
Did you ever know "A young lady who was too
weak to stand up during prayer IN church., who
could not dance all night without being tired at all
Did you ever know young man to hold sken
Of yarn for his fayorite to wind without getting it
strangely tangled?

law TO draw money from the treasury on orders
| can see but little difference between authorizing
them TO draw it on orders, and authorizing them TO
direct how the clerks shall pay it out. The qucs-
lion whether it is best to leave the power OF allow
inc with the clerks or the judges Of the courts, or
with the auditor, is different and a grave one
Although very fully discussed by the Legislature
last fall it was far from being settled. Those OPP
posed to the present system, waived their objections
Tor the season, and suffered the law TO pass from
the imperous necessity of having some action on
the subject. But whatever iaultmay be found WIN
the system, 1t must not be laid to the charge oil inc
act Of 1916 that act did not alter in this respect
at ALL it only provided for the payment OF the ac-
counts who n allowed, in orders instead OF cash.
For the sake of uniformity the lallors accounts
were also submitted to them. There is no good
reason for distinguishing them from the accounts
for the expense of judicial proceedings. II the
courts can be entrusted with the one, why not with
the other? If they are more capable, from beng
OH the ground, of examining into the merits OF The
charges & argucd) why is it not equally true OF
tie ialors' accounts? There are, moreover, pecu-
liar inconveniencics to the jaors in having their
accounts sent for allowance to an auditor IN dis
lan part of the State.
As have already exceeded my intended limits
will not trouble my readers with these compare
lively trivial particulars. For the same reason
pass over some other provisions of the law in ques-
tion which a little examination will show to be o.
TO such as have taken pains to read this, and the
preceding communication beg leave to close.

wATCuMAN roe THE CAMPAIGN

We will send the Waterman for three months at
Four copies for SI,O0.
The lOrgeness of the sheet, the amount Ct lead
ing matter it will contain, ana the low price at
which tits offered, compel us to say that we cannot
send less than four copics--that the bradle adst
always be sent to one address, ana, without fail,
paid for in advance.
We would beg leave to urge upon the party in
the State, the importance of dfisng correct prln.
cipes among the people; and especially would
we urge upon the Wings Of the Fourth Congress
sional District the necessity of being prepared for
the campaign that is approaching.
If some good Wing in every town in the State,
would take the trouble, four at least, could be in
duced to take the Waterman three months, Shall
it be done?

MONT DOCTRINE

One of the highest grounds of confidence in the
Wing doctrine Of Protection is the fact that it is
the doctrine of fathers, derived from the neces-
sites which attended them, and fully demonstrated
to be wise from long experience. A Wing need
not be afraid of this great article of his faiths it
has always been sound, sure and beneGcent, and
may be safely cherished and so long as it remains
the leading feature in the policy CT his party, re-
curing adaptation of all other things to that, he
can sustain his party with perfect confidence that
in its hands the country will be safe. But the doc
trine of Protection is one which should be pre- en-
inently Gear to Vermonters, for it early adop-
ted by the fearless and patriotic men who carried
our State safely through the storms in which 1t was
born, and has been handed down by them to us
their children. Some time since we promised to
notice an excellent address, delivered by Henry
