The rotate Bug.

When Colorado was first settled, a wild
potato was found growing in abundance
upon the eastern mountain slope, which
was nearly always infested with the larve
of species Of beetle, known in natural
history as the dargp1t0ra decemliniata, and
soon after recognized by the early settlers
and farmers as their sworn enemy, the
Colorado potato bug. This destroyer is
not formidable by It's size, being only about
half an inch long, nor by its appearance,
for its color is said TO be Venetian red
and is finished off with a double row Of
black spots or dots along the Sides But
its numbers, and the pertinacity with
which it travels onward are the sources
Of danger, no less than its marvellous fe-
cundity and extreme ferocity, for it will
gobble up whole potato field in less than
no time, as many Western growers of the
king Of vegetables are in position TO Ger
tify In 1862 it first made its appearance
in Wisconsin, and five years later, in 1867,
it reached Indiana, and there commenced
its depredations in the northern part Of
that State. A year subsequently, in 1868,
it was found in Southern Illinois, and Is
now knowing on" toward the Atlantic
seaboard," with its front forming an irreg-
ular line, extending from the northwest
ern borders of Ohio to places south Of In
dianapolis. Unless something happens to
turn off its march in another direction, or
else destroy 1t, it will reach the coast in
the course Of seven or eight years
at the most, in which case it will
annihilate, or seriously limit, the
culture Of the potato throughout the
Northern and Eastern States. The fearful
ravages Of this insect are committed while
it Is yet in the form of the larvae, which Is
Matched out of the egg while the potato
| plant is young and tender. The eggs are
deposited In groups of twenty or thirty on
the lower side of the leaf, and the last
brood each season, as soon as they reach
the proper state and development, hide in
the ground until the following spring,
| when they again crawl out, ready TO begin
their depredations upon the new crop with
will Many remedies have been sug.
Scsted and tried to conquer this flend, but
so far, it would seem, without success.
Some farmers assert that sprinkling CON-
mon sawdust upon the potato vines is an
effectual remedy, but experiments have
failed to prove its efficacy. Others use
Paris green, and others, again, hunt them
up among the potato fields and fight them
singlehanded Look out sharp for the
eggs" says one Western veteran farmer,
and hook 'em when you see 'em. En-
snare lot of the critters, afore they get a
chance to pair, into few small heaps Of
potatoes, distributed in the field for that
purpose, and squelch EN- when you have
got 'em, without pity" This is good
enough advice, but we doubt If it will stop
the onward march of the potato bug; and,
with all other lovers of the delicious and
wholesome farinaceous tuber, we can only
hope that something will turn up that shall
have the effect of checking the propaga'

The Virginia Court Of Appeals has
expressed an opinion upon intoxication as
affecting responsibility tor crime. A man
was tried for murder in the first degree.
The counsel held that he could not, when
under the influence of liquor, form pre-
meditated purpose. The Court of APP
peals, TO which the case was taken, re-
viewed the whole doctrine of drunken.
ness as affecting crime, and sustained the
view of the counsel for the prisoner, that
drunkenness Is proper subject to be
taken into consideration in determining
where man is guilty of murder in the
first degree the requisite Of which Is vii.
tulness elaboration. and reconciliation.
The court laid down the doctrine that
voluntary drunkenness was no excuse for
crime, even II insanity be produced, or if
insanity be the immediate result Of the
use of liquor If, however, insanity be re-
motley the result of the use Of intoxicating
liquors, than 1t is an excuse for crime.
