PoTATo BUGs.-A rich farmer says don't
kill the striped snake. The reptile is the
only animal critter that will eat potato bug
with a relish"
DUCKS are said to do good service in
exserminsting the potato bug. A gentleman
of Piqua, Ohio, put pair of Muscovys into
his potato patch, which was literally swarm
ing with bugs. The ducks ate the bugs
with such aviditY that the latter were soon
extermiuated, and the patch has not since
been troubled with them. The ducks did
not appear to suffer any i'll effects from eat
ing the bugs. and were not slow in ''ssking
in" all that they could discover. The duck
remedy is certainly worthy of attention.

DAVENPORT ENTERPRIsE.-It is pleasant
to see Davenport catching the spirit of
enterprise that is manifested in this city,
and looking to her as yet undeveloped
manufacturing interests. Hon. John l..
Davies, than whom there is not a more
public spirited man in Davenport, is to build
a new saw mill this fall near the site of his
present mill in East Davenport. 1t will
possess all the modern improvements, with
double garg saw and double rotary saws,
aud be sll that Mr.. Davies experience and
liberality can make it. A few more such
men would make Davenport city of manu-

BURGLARs.--It seems that for some time
this com m uni.y has been infes ted with q
gang Of burglars and pickpockets, who have
carried on their operations with such skill
and dispatch that no clue has been gained
by which they could be identified. A few
days since, the rooms Of several gentlemen
stopping at the Harper House, were opened
by turning the key with some instrument
from the outside, and they robbed of consid

An Insal brious Season.-Spring is well

to have its bloom without its fogs. its yapors,
its sudden changes Of temperature. and the
agues, fits Of indigestion, bilious attacks. and
other harrassing disorders which they engen-

such serious drawbacks on the poetry of the

and delicate ought to do when miasma infects
the air. The answer win be. tone and regu-
late the system" But how? That is the
important question. A dozen medical men
would probably recommend as many different
medicines. On the other hand, the thousands
who have tested the virtues of Hostetter' s

Anecdofe OF the war.

=
A fellow-prisoner " relates the fol-
lowing anecdote Of Hon. Win. s. Pryor,
Of Newcastle, Judge of the Frankfort
Circuit Court, now presiding IN that
city: :,
out the South, Judge Pryor was a warm,
outspoken friend of the Confederate
cause during the war. He was arrested
and brought to Louisville, where he was
uneeremoniously pitched into prison.
He stood the confinement and all like n
Trojan hero from the start. He is
one Of those Of whom it may in truth be
said, His mind to him kingdom is.
His thinking machine never allows him
to become lonely, and his philosophy
never suffers him to repine. Alter ENJOY
ing the novel sweets of prison life some
weeks with stoical serenity, he received
a note one day from the Federal COM
mandant Of Louisville, informing him,
IN polite terms, that if he would take the
oath he might go home TO his family i'm
mediately, with the additional assurance
that he would not again be molested.
Procuring pencil and g scrap OF paper
from the jailer, he instantly scrawled the
following answer: General-if you will
send me a couple of hickory shirts, a
toothbrush and a fne-tooth comb, you
may gang to the devil with your oath;
m have none Of it. To the surprise Of
all, the Judges modest requisition was
Immediately filled Still better, he was
not allowed to lie in prison many days
before he was Internationally released,
and franked home to his wife and fam
lily rejoicing.
