CAsK.-+E Considerable excitement exists NJ An-

against Drs. Sanford ani Hainiiton. The
offence is alleged to have been committed on
Snnl!ar afternoon. the 2qih nlt.. when con-
ylaiDant called 1T the Office Of Hr. sandford
to pfocarc some medicine. a. drug was al

in Sleeping apartment, dirested Of her clio
thing. The American says that she was sub
iected 10 q searching and protracted cross
examination, and that in ali essential rartic-
nlars her aifecr opposition was sustained
After the examination was concluded on Mon

The Hessian Fly,
| Agricultural Division Of the Patent Office.
| According 30 the account of Mr.. Edward
says Mr.. Glover, the eggs OF the Hessian iy,
| (cecidomgia destfactor,) very destructive to
| wheat, are deposited in October, in the lon-
| gitudinal cavities between the little ridges Of
| theblaie, from which, in about fifteen days,
! very snail worms or magsots appear. 1t is
| properly small, winged gnat, which
| LAYS It's eggs in winter or fall, when the
| grain has sproated and begins to show
| leaves. They make Way down the blades
/ with consid rable activity until hidden be-
| tween til m aud the stems of the plant. The
number on a single leaf is often twenty or
thirty, sometimes greater. The eggs are ex-
| irgmely minute, and of pale-red color !:
and if the weather prove favorable, they
will hatch in four days.
| w., b, ErcS ri ,,f
| their shells, are also of pale. red color
| Forthwith they crawl down the leaves and
| work their way between them and the main
stalk, passing downwsrds till they come to n
! Joint, Just above which they remain, little
above the surface Of the ground, where they
| head towards the root Of tho plant. Having
| thus fixed themselves upon the stalk, they
| become stationary, and never move from the
/ place before their transformations arc COM
| pleted. They do not cat the stalk. neither
! do they rcnctrate within it, but lie length
| ways on its snrface, end are wholly nourlshcd
by the sap.
A. hey increase in size, and grow plump
| and firm, they become imbedded in the side
! "f the stem BY the pressure of their bodies
upon the growing plant. One maggot thus
4 placed seldom destroy the plant; out when

the stem they weaken and impoversh it, and
4 cause it to fall down or wither and die
They usually come to their full size in five o,
six weeks, and then mea ure about three
! twcntieths of an inch in length
After escaping from the pupa state, the
body of the Hessian lily measures about tho

anl thorax arc black, the hind body tawn .
more or less widely marked with black or
/ each wing, and clothed with fine grnyisi
| hairs, The legs are pale-rrd or brownish.
and the feet black. The maggots are gener-
ally transformed to flies in autumn.
/ The Hessian Gy is subject to the attacks Of
several parasitic insects, which serve moreol
less to lessen their numbers, the chief OF
| which is the ceraphon destructor. of (sny) a
shining black four. winged fly, about one
| tenth Of an nch in length.
| Mr.. Herrick recommends that the stouter
varieties OF wheat should be chosen, and
the ground kept in good condition. If fail
wheat is sown late, s1me of the eggs Will be
avoided, but the risk of winter-kiiling will
be incurred. Burning the stubhle immedi-
ately after the harvest and then porghins
and narrowing the land is also highly re-
commended. Steefing the grain and rolling
it in air-slacked lime or plaster as promoting
a rapid and vigorous growth, would also bt
