A MAN SHOOTS Hrs OwN HEAD Orr Friday
afternoon the 18th inst, an Englishman
named James Patterson, man about go
years of age, and a miner, by occupation,
committed suicide, at or near his residence,
near the coal banks at Minersville in Henry
county, in the following singular manner
He was very fond of hunting, was remarka-
bly, fond of his dog, and was one of the best
shots in that vicinity. About year and
half ago his wife left him. He had often
been heard to say that he would not live at.
ter his dog died. That day, he wrote a let
ter to one of his boys; left it in the store at
Minersville; then went home, took his
favorite double barreled gun, shot his dog,
and then deliberately placed the muzzle of
the other barrel to his ear,resting the butt of
the gun on the ground, and reached his hand
down to the trigger and discharged it. All
the back part of his head was carried away.
Of course he was instantly killed.
On opening the letter he had left at the
store, it was found that he had given direc-
tions to be buried with the dog, one paw of
the dog to be on one side of his neck and one
on the other, and his arms around the dog
He wished to be buried on the top of high
Hill, near Minersville.
He had two boys, and one of them was
present at the awful scene He called to the
boy to come and see him shoot his dog; the
boy came, he shot the dog, and then shot
himself, before the boy could even eompre-
bend what he was about.

TAR Your FRUIT TREEs.-Last year hun
dreds of fruit trees in this region produced
no fruit because the foliage was eaten up by
an insect commonly called ''the spinning cat
erpillar." The bugs which produce these
caterpillars go up the trees the first warm
days in spring, generally in March--many
of them later, as the season may be late or
early. To keep these bugs from the trees,
SO they cannot go up and lay the eggs which
produce the caterpillar, will preserve the
tree and thus prevent that mode of render
ing the fruit crop failure. Mr.. Henry
Ziegler, of Buffalo Prairie, was in our Office
few days since, and wished us to say to the
farmers and fruit-growers that these bugs
can be efectually kept from the trees by
placing a band of coal tar, a few inches
wide, around the trunk of each tree He
has seen it tried and has seen, this spring.
as many as 200 of these bugs killed in this
way, at one tree. He thinks it better way
to spread the tar on strips of paper and tie
the paper tightly around the tree-but either
way will do place the tar onsthe tree, or on
paper and tie it around the tree. 1t should
be done as early as possible-generally the
first warm weather in March but the seas
on is so late, this year, that thousands of
these bugs may yet be kept from the trees
by this method. He uses coal tar because it
is much cheaper than any other kind but
ANYTHING that will effectuallv Eaan tba h,rs
down viii answer. The bugs will crawl up
to the tar and stick there in great numbers,
many of them falling back dead, at the foot
Of the trees. The band of tar must be wide
enough so that the dead bugs viii not form a
bridge for the live ones to pass over
