Potato Bugs.

Colorado potato bugs are making their
appearance in countless numbers in
this county already. This spring we
hear that they are attacking oats, wheat
and every species of vegetation, so that
the prospect for a potato crop may be
regarded as very unfavorable. Various
schemes and devices have been tried to
exterminate these pests, and remedies
without number are reported. There
is no successful or profitable means of
getting rid of them that we know. Paris
green has been used, but to be effective
must be used in quantities so as TO rem
der the cure too dangerous and expen-
sive. There is no patent or cheap way
Of killing them, they seem to come into
life spontaneously, and increase so rap
idly that in twenty-four hours there
are great grandparents in the same
family. Every farmer should plant as
abundantly as he can, and take such
means in saving his crop as his judge
ment and opportunities may suggest
and afford. If our farmers will report
to us the means they may employ, and
the results, it will be of interest 10 the
entire community.

Girls i'm the Garden.

If there is any one thing more beau
tiful than another, that thing is beau
tiful girl, with sun bonnet on hel
head so wide and capacious that you
have to get right square before her and
pretty near her to see the glowing
cheeks that are sure to be there if she
is at all accustomed to garden walks
and work. Physically, there can be
nothing better for daughters, and, in
deed, for many wives than to take the
sole charge Of a small flower garden.
The benefits to be derived from early
rising, stirring the soil, snufiing the
pure morning air, are freshness and
glow of cheek and brightness of eye,
cheerfulness of temper, vigor OF mind
and purity of heart. Consequently she
must be more cheerful daughter, more
dignified and womanly as sister, and
more attractive and confding as a wife.
If you have not a door-yard ground,
then get a dozen pots and plant the
seeds of flowers to your taste. The
care and attention required to rear and
train the growing plants, occupies the
mind to the exclusion often times of
senseless novel reading, senseless
waste of time. You listless, pale-faced,
fragile thing of girl, throw off your
mock delicacy, put on gloves if you
will, but work in the flower garden,
till your cheeks vie in color with the
blush of the rose you cultivate.

Not Enough.

How many toll on, disquiet and haras!
themselves, as if desperately struggling
against poverty, at the same time tha
they are surrounded with abundance
have not only enough, but more than
enough-far more, in fact, than they
actually enjoy. Still, on they go, wor-
rying themselves necessarily in the en-
deavor to acquire more property, as il
under the influence of some fatal spell
To the tasks of labor there are seasons
of internission; but to the tolls i'm
posed by the vain endeavor to satisfy
imaginary wants, there are none. 1t
would seem that enough is nonentity,
a dream, Understanding con-
ceived as possible to be met with, vet
never found. As far, indeed, as our
neighbors are concerned, we can gener-
ally find very good and sufficient rea-
sons why they ought to sit down per-
fectly satisfied and content with what
has fallen to their lot. But in our own
ease-that is, in each mans particular
case-the argument becomes altogether
changed, and every one can find very
good, reasons wherefore he should be
exempted from the rule he lays down
for others, and be privileged to be dis
contented. The true policy is, if we
cannot raise our circumstances to the
level of our desires our endeavor
must be to cut down our desires and
expectations to the level of our circum-
stances; and we should then generally
find that We have quite enough, where
we now fancy We have too little.

Lake Erie, Wooster & Muskingum
Valley Railroad,

The Engineers passed over this pro-
posed road from Wooster south as far
as Oxford, and find a good route along
the west side of Killbuck. This would
locate the depot just beyond the Mill
Race, west of town, very good site
for depot. The road has been located
from Wooster north to the Lake, and
the southern end will be located as the
engineer passes back. The engineer
tells us that the only place between this
and the Lake where the grade reaches
fifteen feet to the mile is for Il short
distance while crossing the Atlantic &
Great Western Road. He also says that
the grade is such as to enable them to
haul forty or forty-five loaded cars,
with as little expense as the present
road can with their grade, haul sixteen
loaded cars. Or in other words they
could make as much money by charg-
ing ten dollars car as the other road
could by charging thirty dollars car.
This would lessen freight a great deal
as every one can see. The matter OF
freight is just what has been keeping
our town from having manufactures OF
different kinds. Capitalists have their
eyes OH this enterprise, and there is
scarcely day but what some inquiries
are being made relative to this matter.
Our county abounds in rich minerals,
coal, iron, limestone, fire-clay, &C.,
which if opened out and worked up
would add immense wealth to our citi-
zens. We hope our people will look ut
this matter i'm the right light, and will
give all the encouragement in their
power to bring about this happy state
of affairs.

Bell Ringers.

According to announcement, the
Leavitt Bell Ringers put in an appear
ance in our town On Thursday. They
came into town in a fine band wagon,
drawn by four beautiful white horses.
They drove through some of the prin-
cipal streets discOursing rich music. In
the evening the Hall was completely
packed with an audience desirous of
hearing the performances, which prom
ised to be good. The ringing of the
bells was new to many of our citizens,
and was received with much admira-
tion. We have heard several different
troupes play, and in our judgment the
Leavitt company handle the bells with
as much precision, keep as good time,
and produce as fine tone as any of
them. We have heard greater variety
pf performances with the bells than they
gave us, but what was given was
admirably well done. The comic char
acters were exceedingly well rendered,
although we do not approve of quite
such an admixture. The whole thing
was success, and the best of the Kind
We nave had for some time.

Wool.

A correspondent writing to an ex-
change says:
l wish to say word or two to the
farmers of our county about selling
their wool.
In few days this community will be
flooded with wool buyers, splitting out
all kinds of nonsense about the uero
probable decline i'll the price of this
commodity; each of them will just
have received dispatch to pay few
cents less for about 10000 lbs of wool,
&C.; the market in the east will be
glutted, overstocked, and all such stuff.
together with the great scare about the
repeal of the tariff OIL wool. Now.
Messrs. Farmers, give no attention ito
such trash.
There are two facts patent to all-viZ
we are in the midst of wool famine
and also an iron famine, and the same
cause that pushes pig iron up from $4J
per ton to $50, will push wool up to 90
cents per pound, its real value.
If the wool manufacturers should
steam up to-day, with all their imported
stock, and all of this years domestic
clip that is now bought, it would not
run their spindles ten days. So, gem
tlemen, don't be scared into taking less
for your wool than it is worth. We are
masters, for once, of the situation.
