Colorado POtatOe Hug.

We have been shown half dozen bugs
taken from potatoe vines in this vicinity,
which we fear are the dreaded Colorado
potatoe bug, SO destructive in the West and
so much dreaded here. They are in an
early state of growth, as yet, but have
already commenced eating the vines and
depositing their eggs in the under
side of the leaves. The specimens shown
us are larger than the yellow bug which in
fest cucumber and melon vines-mahogany
colored head and underneath the whole
body, and two yellow and three black
stripes covering the back.
If these are the Colorado bug they will
grow to be as large as finger nail, and in
all stages of growth they are ravenous
eaters Our farmers will examine their
crops, and we shall be glad to have intelli-
gent reports and shall publish such RENE
dies as have proved useful in making war
upon them. We are not aware that any
thing has been discovered as yet that pre-
vents their attacks.
Those interested can see specimens in oui

BENNINGTON CHALLENGES RUTLAND TO
A WRESTLING MATCH. of our citi-
zcns whom we consider to be as good au-
thority as there is in the county on the sub
ject, demurs to the admission i'm last week s
Banner that Rutland can boat us at the
collar and elbow. We admit that we were
little hasty and probably likely were
wrong. Our anxiety to have good square
match for our champion sneezer, betrayed
us into little carelessness on other mat
tiers. We know that man who can sneeze
loud enough to cause the neighbors to put
down their windows and prepare for a
thunder shower also fowls to seek shell
ter before the next gust comes is something
of sncezer; and our enthusiasm led us
perhaps to be a little careless in lesser sci
ence In justice, therefore to one who
knows, we retract what we have said and
proclaim that Rutland can't beat Bennington
at wrestling without trying. -Bennington

OFF THE TRAoK.-The mixed train on
the Harlem Extension road due here at 1880
last evening met with slight detainer on
the way. When about one mile this side
of Wallingford stick of wood fell from
the train between the wood-truck and a
freight car, throwing the freight car from
the track. The brakeman who was on the
car was at once notified of the accident by
being nearly thrown off, the collision was
so sudden. He ran to the engine as fast as
possible and notified the engineer, as the
bell-ropc had been taken off that trip.
Meanwhile the car itself was bouncing
along over the ties and the train ran half a
mile or more before it was stopped. The
shacklc of the car by this time was broken
and the rest of the train, three other freight,
one flat car and passenger car remained
on the track The hind trucks were off
while the forward ones still kept the track.
An hour or more was taken up in getting
the train on to the track again and the
train moved on, arriving here five minutes
before nine o'clock But few passengers
were aboard and no injury was done.

THE FIRST ENGINE OVER THE MONTH";
LIER AND WELLS RIVER RAnRoAD.-The
first engine was put upon the iron of the
Montpelier and Wells River Railroad at
Montpelier on the 18th, the object being to
carry out several car loads of iron. A
good deal of interest was occasioned by
the event. Managing Director James G.
French, Rev. w. II. Lord, D. d., and Sta
ton Agent S. L. Howe, of the Central
Road and other well known citizens were
passengers. Scores of people were gath
cred at various places in the village, and
greeted the train with cheers, the waving
of hankerchiefs, etc.
The iron laid last fall has stood the win
ter finely. A full gang of laborers is to
be put upon each end of the road, to work
toward each other till they meet The
contractors have the promise of iron as fast
as they want it, and at no distant day it is
expected the rails will lap the whole line

the house servants to church the carriage
was overturned and all thrown out. One
of the girls was so badly injured that her
life was for some time despaired of, but
hopes are entertained of her recovery. II

urged the horses so fast that the girls be-
came frightened and began to scream
which frightened the horses and they, be
coming manageable, soon ran into q

THE TEXAS BORDER.
1t is stated the Commissioners from the
Rio Grande will simply give an exposition
of the cattle stealing on the Texas and
Mexican border, and not indict the Mex
lean government. A letter from Brackets
vile. Texas, states that after the Mac
Kenzie raid a meeting of Mexicans was
held which at first was inclined to insist
upon reparation from the United States,
but wiser counsels prevailed and it simply
requested the Governors of Coahulla aud
New Leon to urge their national govern
ment to adjust their frontier difficulties
with the United States in an amicable
manner.
OFFICIAL REPORT OF GEN. MACKENZIE EN-
DORsED BY GEN. SHERIDAN.
The official report of Gen. Mackenzie
to Gen. Sheridan of the formers pursuit
and punishment of the Kickapoos has been
received at the War department. 1t simply
racounts the facts as heretofore. 1t bears
the following endorsement to Gen. Sheri-
dan take pleasure in heartily approving
the conduct of Col Mackenzies gallant act
The only course for the security of life
and property on our side of the Rio
Grande is to do as Col. Mackenzie has
done, do not believe that any boundary
should exist between the United States and
Mexico when we are defending the lives of
our citizens and protecting their property
against merciless banditti, to whom
the name murderer, robber or thief poorly
applies to cover their deeds. The gallant
act of Col. Mackenzie is best recorded in
his plain narrative of the event | can
only add that the government ought to
stand by Mackenzie. The report of Gen
Sheridan's endorsement was forwarded to
Gen Sherman and the latter endorsed it as
follows: The conduct of Col Mackenzie is
fully approved. If the attack was made
on Mexican soil, as the report does not in
dictate, it is clearly the duty of the Mexican
government to complain; until then the
War department has no official knowledge
that such is the fact, and need not take
any action.
It is my opinion that when band of
freebooters, murdcrers, robbers and out
laws make the recognized boundary line
between two nations at peace a safeguard
for their crimes, there can be no just cause
for dissension il the lawful forces of
either nation pursue them for the purpose
of capturing or ending their deeds of vio-
lencc
