DIR. LIE BABoN says, in the Prairie
Farmer, that if all fruit-growers would
unite in putting the remedies for the cod
ding moth in practice, this moth might be
exterminated. He gives the remedies as
follows Put bands of hay or rags around
the trees and in the crotches for the
worms 70 make their cocoons every 10 or
10 days. Second, gather up the wormy
apples and destroy them as fast as they
fall, or keep hogs in the orchard to do this
work.

LibeIIOus Advertisement

We make an extract from the Bulletin
in relation to the responsibility that pub
Usher is held to in cases where it is gener-
ally supposed the responsibility is shifted
by the advertiser subscribing to an article:
A suit was brought in local Court at
Stockton, lately, which called up the
question of the responsibility of newspaper
publishers for the character of the adver-
tisements printed in their columns. A
party was prosecuted on the ground, as set
forth in the complaint, that he had "caused
TO be published" libelous card in the
columns of the Stockton Republican The
defence demurred to the complaint, sub
stantially on the ground that the publica
tion was the only offense charged and that
was made by the newspaper The Court
sustained the demurrer, the complaint was
dismissed, and the doctrine of newspaper
responsibility was thus sharply set forth.
There is nothing new in this point, for it
has been repeatedly made throughout this
country and in England, the courts holding
that the responsibility of the publisher
extends to every part of his paper. But a
large portion of the advertising public do
not seem to be aware of this fact, and thus
it happens that newspaper publishers are
constantly importuned to publish, as ad-
vertisements, personal cards or business
notices of libelous character, calculated
to ipjure the reputation or trade of others.
Persons ofe' ing such matter, if told it is
Objectionable, answer that they will assume
all the responsibility, it is only an adver-
tlsement, etc. whereas the law holds the
publisher primarily responsible. = = =
Were any kind of personal assaults admiss-
able as advertisements, without legal res
possibility, many sheets would become
sewers Of traduction and sources of embroil-
ilment and violence, while the most res
pectable journals would be subjected to a
more annoying pressure than they are now,
when they can appeal to legal restraints, to
justify their refusal of obnoxious cards.
All that an homes. journal will ask is that

DoN'r DESTROY THE SNAIL BrRr

DoN'T DESTROY THE SMALL BIRDs.-
One of the magazines very properly calls
attention to the wanton destruction Of small
birds which is still tolerated in many parts
of this country. These birds are among
the best friends the farmer can have, and
yet is thought no harm to massacre them
indiscriminately. In Massachusetts, meas
ure has passed the Legislature encouraging
the destruction of gulls and terns-birds
which, as the writer says, are very valuable
to the fisherman ''for the important indica-
tions they give of the presence Of certain
kinds OF fish, as also to the sailor, whom
they warn in thick weather of the danger
Gus reef or the treacherous shoal." The
same foolish and barbarous spirit is too
often shown in other States Small birds
are blessings and not plague, to mankind.
Since we have had the sparrows in this
city no one has been annoyed by that old
nuisance the constant shower of worms
from the trees in the streets. The spar.
rows have kept the trees almost bare of our
troublesome visitors 1t is said that the
cats in the parks are in turn fast thinning
out the sparrows. Puss finds presefvsr
in every quarter of the city. If that be
so, the houses erected for the birds will
not be of much use, for soon they will all
be driven out into the wide world-1N. Y.

WoMEN's WAGES IN New YoRK.-
Here are some notes from the Short and
Simple Annals of the Poor in that city,
which is enough to give one the heartache
TO read
Mrs. A. makes vests at eighteen cents
apiece for wholesale house. She can
earn ssa month by working fourteen hours
day, Sunday included. She pays SO a
month for her attic, and has two small
children to support. She has eaten meat
once only-and then it was given to her
since Thanksgiving Day Another case ::
Kate A, "6nisher" makes about 81 q
week, working hard fort it, has grand
mother to support, and has "often lived on
bread and water, in order to afford the old
lady broth every day" The Star, which
is enabled to describe these cases from the
diary of lady who has visited them, gives
still more painful instance of the hard
ships caused by the scarcity of employment
or inadequate wages. And yet we have
been assured that in this city there is no
necessity to organize societies for the relief
of distress-while weh-meaning ladies are
at loss to know how to DO any good in the

A FavOrite Drink.

There lived not many years ago in the
State Of Tennessee rather an eccentric
gentleman, who occupied the Judges seat
In one OF the wealthiest circuits of the
State Upon one occasion there were two
men arralgned before the Judge charged
with disturbing the peace, etc. No. 1.
upon the usual question of 'guilty or not
guilty! plead guilty OF being drunk
"Yau were drunk, were you, sir ?" ask
ed the Judge.
Yes, sill"
What did you get drunk on, sir ?"
Whisky, sir"
What sort of whisky, sir?"
New whisky, sir"
What, right new whisky ?"
Yes, sir, just from the STILL
80 you got drunk on new whisky, right
warm from the still, did you?"
"Yes, sir"
Mr.. Clerk, fine that man ten dollars
and imprisonment in the county Jail one
month.
No. 2. on being arraigned, plead guilty
also
You were drunk, were you, sir ?" said
the Judge
Yes, sir" answered the prisoner
What did you get drunk on, sir ?"
Brandy, SIR"
"What kind of brandy" ?"
Peach brandy, sir"
How did you drink it, sir"
With a little honey. sir"
Nice strained honey, sir? ?"
Yes, SIR
:" So you got drunk on old peach brandy
and nice strained honey, did you, sir ?"
Yes, sir
Mr. Clerk, fine that man one penny !;
the Court would like several Of such
drinks itself"
The same Judge had a very wild son
named Bob, who was constantly in
scrape, and upon being brought up for
drunkenness, the Judge cried out, as that
you, Bob? ?"
" Yes, sir
" Fine the rascal two dollars and costs !;
I'd make it ten dollars, if | didn't know
that it would come out of my own pocket"
There is one more story of this Judge
which is worth relating: He received
and accepted an invitation to dinner with
his friend Smith, and during the evening
had partaken rather freely of Bourbon, so
much so, that several silver spoons had
been placed in his pocket without his
knowledge, which were found upon his
return home by his wife, Shortly after
this occurrence prisoner was being tried
before him for stealing spoons, and plead,
in extenuation of his crime, that he was
drunk at the time he committed the Of
fense. when the Judge inquired
What did you get drunk on %
Bourbon, sir
Where did you get your Bourbon,
sir ?"
I" At Smiths.
You are certain you got it at..Smith' 81"
Yes, sir"
q Mr. Clerk, discharge the prisoner;
got drunk on Smiths Bourbon once, and
stole spoons also"

MACAULAY UPON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
l ay, therefore that the edu cation of the
people ought to be the first concern of a
State. Sir, it is the opinion of all the
greatest champions of civil and religious
liberty in the Old World and in the New
and of none, l hesitate not to say it,
more emphatically than of those names
held in the highest estimation by the Pro
testant nonconformists of England. As
suredly, if there be any class of men whom
the Protestant nonconformists of England
respect more highly than another, if any
whose memory they hold in deeper venera-
ton, it is that class of men, of high spirit
and uncomfortable principles, who, in the
days of Archbishop Laud, preferred
leaving their native country and living in
the savage solitudes of wilderness, rather
than to live in land of prosperity and
plenty, where they could not enjoy the
privilege of worshipping their Maker free
ly, according to the dictates of their cons
clence. Those men, illustrious forever in
history, were the founders of the common
wealth of Massachusetts; but, though their
love of freedom Of conscience was illimit-
able and indestructible, they could see
nothing servile or degrading in the prlnci.
pie that the State should take upon itself
the charge of the education of the people.
In the year 1642 Cl647?] they passed
their first legislative enactment on this
subject in the preamble of which they
distinctly pledged themselves to this prln-
ciple, that education was matter OF the
deepest possible interest to all nations and
to all communities and that, as such, 1t
was, in an eminent degree, deserving OF
the peculiar attention of the State.-Ma-

just such diseases as afaict you; and as the
profession are using and prescribing this
remedy with much suceeys,w we, feel proud
in calling your attention to it,. 1t comes
highly recommended, aud we earnestly
advise all suffering females to use this
great female medicine at once. We allude
to the "English Female Bitters," qdyer'
tised in another column.

An Important Work.

EDITORS ENTERPRISES Measured on the map
of the Hiwassce District, made from the actual
survey, the distance from the Tellico Plains, by
Madisonyillc, to Sweetwater is twenty miles.
From Sweetwater to the Tennessee River, oppO-
site to the Roane Iron Company,s Railroad
Landing, is eighteen miles. Total, thirty-eight
miles. OF course the distance will be increased
by deyiations of the road from the direct line.
Suppose we had Il good macadamized turn
pike road from the Tennessee River to the Tel
leo Plains, what would it do for the people liy-
ing in the country through which it would pass,
and for Swectwatcr? 1t would enable the far
mers to transport the products of their farms
for onc-half of what it now costs, aud in u few
years double the value of their farms. Itwould
greatly increase the trade and business Of Swect-
water, accelerate and insure the continuance of
its growth and prosperity. Five miles from the
Tennessee River will take you by the Roane
Iron Company's Works to the top of Wallen's
Ridge, from whence there is II pretty good stock
road, by jamestown, Fentrcss County, to
Burkesville, on the Cumberland River in Ken
tucky, without Il river between to cross.
From the Tellico Plains up the TellicO River,
on a route favorable for a good road, as | am in
formed, fifteen miles will reach the top Of the
Unaca Mountains, and fifteen more Murphy, N.
c., at the junction of the Hiwassce and Valley
Rivers, from whence there are good stock roads
to Blairsville, Gainesville and Athens, Georgia.
There are six stores in the town of Murphy,
ami by this road SwcGtwater would be to them
the nearest point on tue East Tennessee, Vir-
GINA and Georgia Railroad. They now haul
their goods and supplies from Cleveland, Ten
n]esseN, to which place they are also hauling
soapstone in considerable quantities.
All of that business would come to Sweetwa-
ter if we had IL good road made. If we had a
good country road opened to the Tennessee Riv-
err, and Il ferry established, large numbers of
stock would be driven over it and through our
country. Shall these roads be opened and good
turnpikes made wherever hauling is to be done
over them2 And shall they be dirt Or macad-
amised turnpikes 7 If the latter, how can they
be made and kept in good condition ?
An answer to these enquiries, through the
Enterprise, would be thankfully received and
considered by the people generally, and partic-
ularly by the writer of this article.
