deem Of sufficient Importance TO be held per-
manently, and to receive donation of any
works of art that may be contributed to the
gallery, reserving the right to dispose of any
so received for the benefit of the funds, if
they deem it advisable, and to further, by all
honorable means, the collecting Of gallery
of fine arts, and their exhibition to the public
in the present advanced state Of public feel
ing for the fine arts.
The testator then says in his will
~ would prefer the public to have admis-
sion at all times to the exhibition rooms at
suitable hours, but think it will be necessary
to charge a small fee for admission, until in
some way the managers have secured ample
means to meet the current expenses. In case
the city or State delay in accepting the be-
quest and trust, for the period of three years
after its becoming operative, 1 then direct
that the said trustees shall assign and convey
the said fourth part of the respective trusts
to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts;
that they abandon the stock feature of their
organization, and form a simple assoc iation
whereby its property and its treasures will
remain in perpetuity in the city of Philadel-
phia to be used by the directors of these orga-
nized Academy of Fine Arts, as they shall
deem best, for the erection of new building
or for the collection of gallery of fine arts,
or Jointly to aid in both objects"
The testator then directs that in case
the Academy of Fine Arts fail to carry out
his idea, the bequest shall go TO the Appren-
tees Library Company of Philadelphia, to
aid in the erection of building, and for the
increase of the library. He says: "Should it
so happen that this fourth part be also paid
to the Library Company, trust that its man
ayers and directors may be enabled to make
it public library of Importance, and with
further aid from the citizens of Philadelphia,
it will take rank beside the public library in
the city of Boston,"
The remaining fourth part of said trust
Mr.. Wilstach bequeaths to some relatives, and
one-tenth part of the said fourth part to the
Spruce Street Baptist Church; one-tenth part
to the Union Benevolent Society one-tenth
to the Orphans Asylum, Eighteenth and
Cherry Streets one-tenth to the Widows
Orphans Asylum; one-tenth to the Philadel-
phia School of Design; one-tenth to the How
ard Hospitals and one-tenth to the Academy
of Natural Sciences.

and is bequeathed to his wife and daughter
In case the latter leaves no children sur
viving her, then the money is left in trust for

One-fourth part of the trusts to go to the
Apprentices Library Company, to aid in the

quest, which is the erection of building in

Philadelphia, to be used as public picture
gallery, on plan similar to the new building
in which the pictures of the Dresden Gallery
are now exhibited, in the city of Dresden,
Saxony, if not on SO large scale as will
admit of the extension without impairing the
harmony or cause the destruction of any por-
ton of the original building, and to enact
laws for the founding of permanent organi-
zation to take charge of said funds, and to
locate and erect a suitable building, aud
whose further duty shall be to,raise funds by

An attempt is now being made to stock
the Delaware river with black bass-a fish of
great fecundity, rapid growth, and unsur-
passed in flavor by any other fish taken in
fresh water except the salmon. A full-grown
bass weighs from six to eight pounds, and no
fish affords the angler better sport AS the
Delaware is supposed to be particularly well
adapted to the growth of these fish, four or
five years from the time they are put in they
are expected to abound in every portion of
the river. From eight hundred to one thou

How TO KIN the Cureulio.

The st. Joseph Fruit Growers Asso
citation recommend the following method
Of destroying this pest, the credit for the
discovery of which is ascribed to Mr., b
Ransom, of St. Joseph, which appears to
have been quite effective, if the state
ment of the extraordinary number of
curculios destroyed can be credited. II
is often found in the experience Of the
etomologist of this Department that
other and quite different (and sometimes
beneficial insects are assumed to be the
curculios;
Put the orchard in thebest order; lev
ell down the soil about the root of every
peach tree and smooth circle for di.
ameter of two and half feet from the
tree as a center. Have the ground very
clear around the base of the tree. Do
not leave single hole near the tree
Leave no place where the curcu!io can
hide, except under the shelter you pro-
vide. Now lay close to the tree, and
close TO the ground, about four pieces to
a tree, either chip, or bark or board, or
lath, or rag, or anything for cover.
The curculio will conceal itself under
this shelter, and may be destroyed by
the thousands. Go around every day
and turn over each chip. Kill every
curculio, They will generally adhere to
the chip, but may often be found on the
ground under the chip.
BY this method Mr.. Whittlesey killed
two thousand seven hundred and fifteen
curculios about the roots Of two hundred
trees on the 10Th; in four hours under
the same trees he killed one thousand
five hundred and sixty-six. In three
small orchards Mr.. w. and M. Ransom
destroyed upwards Of five thousand in
five hours. In four hours, in his own
orchard, Mr.. r. destroyed two thousand
one hunnred and nine, by actual count.
Peach-growers are called upon to unite
in Kidding the orchards of the pest thus
early in the season, and thus save the
crop which is now threatened with de-
struction.

FAME.-It will be remembered that
the intelligence of the death of Charles
Dickens was received soon after the re-
cent railroad accident at Mt Holly, and
on being informed of the fact an intelli.
gent resident of Rutland asked if he
lived in Rutland, supposing that he died
from injuries received at the Summit
We supposed that Rutland would stand
alone, but we learn this from Boston
The senior member of firm in
Commercial street, on being informed of
the death of Dickens, replied, Dickens?

SEVERE CRITICISM ON AN OFFICER
Senator Pratt Of Indiana has made a
severe but amusing report from the com
mittee on Claims on a memorial from
james McCullum, Lieutenant in the
Sixteenth Mass. Battery. for his extra
services in 1865, while erecting soldiers
monuments on the Bull Run battle
fields The report declares that there is
an audacity, not to say shamelessness, in
the presentation of such claim against
the government that deserves reproba-
ton and it concludes thus "The memo
rialist admits that he brought out these
designs Of beauty while nestled in the
safe entrenchment that girdled Washing
ton, while his harder brethren were per-
forming deeds of immortal valor upon
great battle-felds of Virginia. The
mighty roar Of the far off battles soften
ed by distance, did not interrupt his
pleasing artistic occupations, and while
thousands of his comrades in arms were
doing battle and dying for their country
ne was planning, mercenarily planning,
monuments for them, and connecting
his name foreverwith theirglory through
pyramid of cobble stones, ornamented
by his ingenious jack-knife."

The New Hampshire legislature ad-
Journed on Saturday last, having been
in session but about four weeks. That
looks like business, and we trust the
next legislature of this State, will con-
slider it model for them. To shut off
the interminable amount of talk which
so generally clogs business in such bod
les, Mr.. Hunt Of Charlestown made a
motion that no member be allowed to
speak over five minutes at one time, dur
ing the last three days of the session,
which was adopted by large majority,
and business then went ahead.

Some Of the democrats of Maine have
an idea of the age in which they live
They assembled in State Convention
last week, and after stormy session ad-
journed without making nominations to
the 9th of August. The object of this
movement is to nominate a republican
for governor, if they can find one to ac-
cept, and to place themselves on a plat
form of more modern ideas than those
which have afflicted the Maine democra-
cy during the last ten years, and in car
rying adjournment, the progressive dem
ocrats won their first victory, and we can
but still hope for them more success in
their efforts to improve their party.
