Remedy for the Chinch Bns.

We published Recently note from the Hon.
Abram Rencher, stating that fish oil had been
found an excellent remedy for the ch;nch bug now
destroying the corn Mr.. Rencher has addressed
us another note on the subject, in which he SAYS
ne has found the remedy entirely successful, but
that some of his ncighbors complain that kills their
corn. So it does his corn, says Mr.. R. if applied in
too large quantity. He says, "take feather from
the wing of chicken or goose, clip off small piece
of the little end, dip the feathery part in OIL and
run it down between the boot and the stalk of the
two lower blades, wipe off the oil remaining on the
feather the outside of the stalk near the ground
The oil kills the bugs it touches and the balance
disappear Mr. Rencher adds: "I have Just re-
turned from my cornield, which bordered on my
wheat field for two hundred yards, and where the
chinch bug appeared in great force. Their ravages
were arrested by the application of the OIL and the
looks as well at this time as if there had
been bug upon it. However unsuccessful others
may be in the application of fish oil, consider my
self findebted to it for the safety of my cornfed.

couraged by an improper application of the OIL"

there grew, on the farm of Nathaniel Johnston. in

40 heads, averaging 55 grains each, making 23l0

it can not be e&celled.

Iredell has done remarkably well, but " old Nash"

Hon. L. OBJ. BRANcH.-Onr talented and faithful
representative wi ], on Wednesday next address the
citizens of Warren. He will give his constituents
opportunity of hearing, from his own lips expla.
nation Of his votes in Congress during the late
sion; and will refute the strange, and we suspect,
wilful misrepresentation which so industriously
circulated by the political enemies of the Democrat
ic party. Mr.. Branch's course in Congress has al
ready received the warmest and most emphatic
dorsement from the assembled Democracy of the
different counties in his district But he is deeply
anxious that his friends in Warren would meet him
and give him an opportunity of exposing the njus-
tce done by the direct and indirect attacks made
upon his political consistency. Let the people of
Warren on that day rally round man whose only
fault in the eyes Of our opponents is deep and abb
ding faith in the justice and truth of Democratic
principles, and firm determination to support them
in all places under all circumstances and at all haz
ards. War. Neaca

Johnston Academy...Mr. Thompson's Address.
A correspondent of the Fayetteville Observer thus
notices the late examination of the students of this
Academy:
"Ths Institution is located in Johnston county,
about fifteen miles from Raleigh, and about the
distance from Smithheld in healthy section and in
pleasant, agreeable neighborhood. 1t is worthy of
public attention, embracing it does, a male and
female department. Every branch of learning COM
mon to preparatory schools of high grade is taught
there. John w. Stuart, ESQ.,, who has acted as
Principal for the last four years. deserves the thanks
OF that community for the faithful and efficient
ner in which he has discharged the responsible du-
ties OF Teacher. The annual examination Of the
students took place on Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday last, in the presence of large assemblage
from the surrounding country, embracing the wealth,
talent and beauty of the country.
The exercises proved, to the satisfaction of all
present, that no pains had been spared that a
thorough knowledge Of the various branches taught
had been implanted in the youthful miad; that in
pursuing their various studies, something more than
superficial knowledge was aimed at
A sermon very appropriate to the occasion was
delivered on Thursday evening by the Rev. r. T.
Hefin of Raleigh, from Matthew T2th chapter and
3Oth verse: "He that is moth with me IS against
me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth
abroad" The preacher did his subject ample justice
and, while he was 6 much impressed himself, but
anxious mainly that those to whom he preached
might feel it too" he made forcble, happy, and
ingenious application of his subject"
The annual Address was delivered on Friday by
Erwin A. Thompson, Esq, OF Goldsborough. His
theme was Learn to know thyself" 1t has been
my good fortune to hear many addresses before lit
terary institutions but for clearness and beauty of
language, aptness, point of il ustraton and the glow
ing eloquence with which this was delivered, it ex.
celled them all. He endeavored to impress upon his
audience the Importance of developing ard training
the intellectual faculties, and made some beautiful
comparisons to show how those faculties could be
applied He was listened to with intense interest by
the large audience present. 1t indeed abounded in
choice gems OF learning, and well merited the hearty
appreciation and loud applause which It received
Mr.. Thompson is lawyer by profession, and judging
from his effort this occasion he is destined to take
very high stand in his profession and to fill pro-
minent place in the councils of the State, in whose
advancement he feels so much interest.
