worms fn the RhrIex.

The Cincinnati Gaset,e has letter from
Indiana describing the raVages of the
worm in the barley. The writer sowed a
fad on the 10Th of August, which had
lain in clover and timothy pasture during
the summer. The grain came up and
grew luxurisntly until week since, when
it began to disappear in spots. On exsmi-
nation he found worm feeding upon it.
He watched the depredator, found that it
grew and increased rapidly, and by the
18th inst, was from hslf-inch in length
to the lize of cut worm, which it resem.
bles, except in being simmer. The whole
field of ten scres IS destroyed, except q
few spots, through which the worm, in
great mulsitudes, is rapidly advancing
He thinks it is the army worm that is oc-
casionally so destructive to meadows and
grain during the summer season. The
only circumstance that throws any doubt
upon it in his mind is its appearance at
this season of the year. a-

If the trainers Of the New York Repub-
Ican platform had for their object to
silence Democratic opposition and win
Oopperhead votes, they have been very
adroit and successful. Their opponents
are at loss The New York World hardly
knows what 10 say against the platform.
Il can pick no flaws in it, and has to base
its whole srgument for the Democracy on
the personal claims of the Democratic can
didates. And no wonder the World is con-
founded, for the Republican platform of
New York IS in essence and spirit a
rescript of the resolutions adopted by the
New York Democratic Convention. The
Democrats will find no principles in it to
attack, because all It's principles are COM
mon to both parties. But is it good policy
or sound ststesmaDship thus to escape
criticism and opposition by abandoning
the right. A general can always silence
his enemy's siege guns by surrendering his
own citadel, but the commander who pur-
sues this course will hardly win either
victory or fame
