According to promise, The STAR appears to-
day in a new dress throughout furnished, As
has been the case for many years past, by the
old established type foundry of Lewis Pelouze,
OF Philadelphia-and we think our readers will
agree with us that ii makes a very handsome
appearance; but even this will be improved in a
few days, when the type, after little use, will
take the ink better and furnish clearer i'm
preston.
Usually the change of dress is made the occa-
sion of little self-praise and congratulation in
newspaper Offices; but, owing TO the great wear
and tear Of material incident to the high speed
at which our lightning press Is driven and the
large editions printed each day. the renewals of
type in the history of THE STAR have been 70
frequent as TO excite little remark, either on
the part OF ourselves or our readers, and we only
refer to the Circumstance now as . gratifying
mark OF the prosperity Of. the paper, and As an
evidence that generous support win always be
met by corresponding improvements on our
part. This we conceive to be the fittest man
ness Of returning thanks for the liberal and con-
SANITY increasing patronage extended to The
STAR since 1t came into its present hands.

The farmers OF the western States are be-
coming seriously alarmed in regar to the raw
ages Of the potato bug, and not without good
reason Col. Friedrich Hecker, q scientific far
mer of BelleyiIle, Illinois, who has been inyesti-
eating the matter, says the bug is native of the
canons Of the Rocky Mountains, where it feeds
on the wild potato 1t left its original haunts In
1854, and is travelling eastward at the rate Of
about one hundred and fifty miles year. 1t
has already reached the Allegheny Mountains,

Mr.. c. f. Varley, the electrician of the Attain

theory that earthquakes are due to subterranean
Lightning, and in proof OF its correctness states
that he observed a few moments before and
few moments after the earthquake OF the 18th of
March, powerful positive electrical currents
rushing toward England through the two Anglo
American telegraph cables, broken near Trinity
Bay, Newfoundland The French Atlantic
cable was disturbed at the same time. and 81

been seen. It s about ten feet long
when stretched out, made Of steel
wire about a quarter of an inch
thick, with cross steps of polished
wood about six inches long. The
burglar :,ets into the room over the
one which he wishes to enter, fastens
the hooks to the window sill, drops
the ladder outside. and runs down
to the window below. Having gone
through the apartment, he runs up
his ladder, pnils it in, and folds it
up into such compass that he can
pack it IN 4 a,nall hand bag.

from the fact that doctor whom he
