The Colorado Potato bug Ready sO

AnS .GDAOFAW0 Potato bug Ready for
Action
While grubbing out nm old fence
row, adjoining a last years potato
patch, l discovered countless numbers
of this insect in bodies of from five or
six to thirty or forty-in one case
sixty nine were counted in one cavity
about six inches below the surface ::
being generally assembled in cavities
near the roots ofthe bushes. AS none
could be found in the ground compos-
ing the potato patch, nor beneath the
sod adjoining the fence row, it would
be natural TO suppose that they had
used the roots as a highway to winter
quarters; whether as an easier mode
of getting into the ground, or for
some other reason, 1 am at present
unable to say. The bugs were of
full size, and to all appearances ready
for operation at the earliest opportu-
nifty. AS soon as they were unearthed
they commenced their dronino march.
and did not seem inclined again to
take their position underground.
There will be but fe W potatoes plant
ed in this vicinity this season, and
those will be of the earliest varieties.
Some there are, who will plant none
at all, and. indeed, think they will be
the gamers; at least, they will not be
losers.-ScHoLlUM, Batesvt1e, O.

Florida Peaches.

A correspondent at Sanderson, Fla,
writes the Rural New Yorker, under
date Of April 9:-''I have three peach
trees. now nine feet highy and from
one inch to one inch and a-quarter in
diameter, one year and one month old.
They bloomed in February and fruited
several peaches, but shed them at the
size OF filbert. One of them is still
holding two peaches the size of large
hickory nut. This tree was removed
in January" These trees shed their
peaches because they could not and
ought not to bear them. Our correspon-
dent onght to have pinched off the
blossoms from Trees of that age as
soon as they appeared.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
l~ustre, and a grateful perfume.

A Dissatisfied Bachelor.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette has some odious things to say in
favor of what he chooses to call "Men's
Rights" 81 am" he says, ga bachelor,
81 years of age, in sound health, and in
receipt of a salary of S1,500 per year,
and, therefore, a good match for any
woman, no matter who she may be; yet
l remain unmarried from principle, and
will remain single until the laws are so
altered as to make me master of my
own home. l am the owner of real
estate acquired by my own labor. 1 do
not mean to allow any I'M to con
troll me- IN theu disposal OF That property
simply because she should happen to be
my wife. She would have done moth
ing toward earning that property, and,
therefore, have no moral right in its
sale. Any law giving her a dover third
is simply q fraud on me,the more so as
the law does4not give me any dover
third in her property. And then the
ceremony nowadays, called marriage,
does not give me a wife it merely gives
me a woman who can leave me when
ever she pleases. L cannot keep her
against her wishes. She may go back
to her father or elsewhere, and 1 can't
compel her TO come back; but should
leave her for any reason she can have
me arrested and compel me to support
her. Such a thing is one-sided and un-
fair. A woman held by such a loose tie
is not, in my opinion, a wife in the holy
way a decent man has shrined in his
t thoughts. The laws have degraded her
into a concubine."

The Prize Steam Canal Boat.

From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
The new steam canal BOAT Port. By
ron, Capt. Emerson, about which con-
siderable has been said of late, made
her first appearance in our waters yes
terday. The Byron was built at Roches-
ter, and is owned by Toof, Philips &
Emerson, of Memphis, Tenn. The in
vention is patented by F. NJ. Mahan
and Primus Emerson. The principle
covered by this patent is certainly
original and ingenious. The Port By
ron is a large class laker. The upper
part of the bow is shaped like an ordi-
nary boat but below the water line the
bows, instead of rounding away at the
sidesto clear the water, come flush out
even with the stem. Between these
two projections the bow is followed
out, giving it the appearance of an i'm
mense scoop shovel, standing upright
with the followed part facing toward
the front~ AttheFbottom this hollow Ia
pers off into Aume7w 80 by I2inches,
which runs through the entire length
ofthe boat, over the floor ,timbers. The
~propelling power is an iron paddle
wheel, 10 feet in diameter, with vertical
buckets 30x2S inches. These buckets
OF paddles enter and leave the water in
a vertical position, SO that no. power is
lost in lifting, or striking the water.
The wheel is located in the middle of
the boat near the stern, and at the end
of the hume mentioned above. The ac-
ton of the wheel draws the water out of
the fiume, which is replenished from
the bow. 1t is expected that the en-
tire samount of water displaced by the
boat will be drawn through the fume-
way by the action Of the wheel. If
this is done no swelIor ave viii be
produced.
The Port Byron, on her passage up
from Lockport, made six miles an hour
with 20 tuns of freight on board. She
was loaded yesterday with $500 bushels
corn, by j.. w. Bridgeman & Co, and
started this morning for Now York.
We shall watch the progress Of the
Byron With Considerable interest ; bat
we are@efSopinionathat this trip will
ldemonstrate that some changes in the
machinery and model are necessary
before she can be called a complete
success.

AZ The Mop Brigade.

A private letter dated at Hutchinson,
Mimi, gives the modus operandi of a mop
brigade organized to fight the prairie
fires {:
There was a fire brigade formed in
Hutchinson, who were to go out at n
time, night or day, at the cry of alarm,
to fight fire. There were about forty of
them in, all. Sometimes they would go
out in one direction and work till they
had put out the fire, and come home
and turn in to rest, and within half an
hour would be summoned again in an
other direction to fight the advancing
flames. Horses would be harnessed, at
tached to whatever vehicle came first
and no questions asked, and away they
would 60. Mr.. Putnam, the hardware
merchant, was called the General" of
the brigade, and under his lead they
did splendid service. Lawyers and
merchants would throw off their better
garments, and, enveloped in old
clothes, and armed with "mops," as
they call them-which consisted of old
bags tied firmly to broomsticks, and
soaked in water-would march to the
front of the fiery battle. The town was
many times threatened, but the eficien-
cy of the fire brigade saved it. Every
hotel and store would have about a
dozen of these "mops'' on the steps
ready for action. ~

Greek monks at Mt. Athos. z
