Potato BUGs.-This terrible pest, which
is TO be made happy by our potato and toma
TO crops, is being spadcd out of the ground
by the thousands, and ere long will be the
all-absorbing topic. We suppose that
most of our readers have seen a fen spcci
mems OF this buyer beetle, as it is called,
so viii not trouble then with a description.
Speaking OF this insect, the Scientific 1nscr.
ican, through correspondent, says:
1T is believed to effect all its transtorma-
tions in fly days, so that single pair
would, if unmolested, produce sixty MILL
ions OF progeny in single season. Nari-
ous modes of preventing IFS ravages have
been suggested. Brushing or shaking the
larvae, or young bugs from the plant into
Il vessel is sometimes tried, but this is a
laborious and dangerous operation. Dust
ing the leaves with white helebOre powder
is an effective remedy when it is well done;
the powder must however be freshly
ground as it losses its efficacy when Ike pit
too long Paris green is also recommended
but both powders are irritating TO those
applying them while the latter is extreme
ly poisonous. Birds, it is said, will not
destroy the bugs, as the emanations from
their crushed bodies are nOXious even TO
human beings, and, it is said, have caused
several deaths. The symptoms resemble
those caused by the bite OF rattiesnake.
The beetle has several insect enemies, espe-
cially some varieties of ladybug which prey
upon its eggs and larve.

rat
Catching rats is sometimes difficult, as
old rats are provcrbially cunning.-LayIng
around poison is dangerous not alone, but
also Objectionable, for the reason that rats
may die at inaccessible spots and contami-
nate the atmosphere with their well known
detestable odor. A better plan has been
adopted by one of our correspondents, by
which he takes advantage of the cunning
habits Of rats. He covers the floor near
the hole with thin layer of moist caustIc
potash when the rats walk on this it
makes their feet sore these they lick with
their tongues /; it makes their mouth sore,
and the result is they shun the locality,
not alone, but appear to tell all the neigh
Dor lats about il, and eventually the house
is abandoned by them, notwithstanding the
neighborhood may be teeming with rats. -

To THE CITIZENS OF SOMERSET CoUS
TY:--Last year 4 pressing demand wa.
/ felt for the revival of the Somerset County
Agricultural Society. which had been dor
mant during the wears of and after the
war, and for the holding of i,ir under its
auspices. The Society was accordingly
put upon its feet again, and late in the sum
mer it aas determined that Il fair should
be held. This action was taken too late
TO enable the officers and managers to So
arrange-every department, as To render full
satisfaction 10 al exhibitors and visitors.
yet the exhibition was successful beyond
our highest expectations, and satisfactory,
We believe, 10 most who attended il.
This fall. at a time yet to be agreed
upon, we will hold another fair and no
effort will be spared to make il attractive
and profitable TO all who may attend
Our experience, and greater length of time
for preparation, will enable us TO make
many changes in the premium list, and in
facilities for displaying articles entered.
We will not vet be able TO offer as high
premiums AS we would like TO do and as
can hereafter be done, for the reason that
there yet rests upon the society consider
able Indebtedness, incurred in building the
houses, and the covered stalls for horses
cattle and sheep, and in the general repairs
to the grounds. BY your hearty cooper
alton, being equally interested with our
selves, this debt can this year be paid of,
after which, as the services of the officers
are rendered without fee or reward, all re-
ceipts eXcepts so much rs is neccs-
sary for further repairs of the grounds,
can be applied TO the payment of premiums.
We give this notice at this early day,
that farmers, mechanics and others, may
begin TO get ready their specialties, believ-
ing that 1t will require great merit 10 car
ry off the prize in any department Give
us your assistance heartily. and the fair
shall be more than crediiable.

/ 4 CHICAGO inventor has in his brain a
novel plan Of railway travel. He does
not describe it fully, deeming it inexpedient
TO do 50, but from what he says it may he
inferred that his system contempatcs an
elevated shaft or rail, from which light
passenger cars are to be suspended, and
over (or rather UNDER which they are TO
be propelled at the rate Of over one hun
dred miles an hour. As the cars will be
swung in the air. sufficiently high TO avoid
obstructions. no danger would he appre-
hendcd from accidents at crossings COLI

cattle and the like There would be no
delays from land slides, heavy SHOWS, and
other causes which now impede railway
travel. In other words. the passengers
would speed along perfectly indifferent as
what might be below them, and with the
assurance OF entire safety from accident,
The inventor thinks the plan entirely prac.
ticable, and in this age of progress and
invention we may be prepared for almost
anything, no matter how marvellous.

CRoQUET.--This interesting game shows
no sign Of waning popularity but quite
the contrary. Without going into dis
cussion, we may remark that its sustaining
power to please is chiefly due to two things:
First, it is emphatically game of skill, and
successful playing demands the careful ex-
ercisc of the mind, the eye, and the arm.
Second, an almost unique merit of GRO
quet is lis equal adaptation to ladies and
gentlemen. Almost all other games for
exercise in the open air are mOnopolized by
the male sex, for obvious reasons. Gro
quet has been welcomed as an admirable
departure from this one-sidcdness. Mr..
Beecher has numerous sympathizers in
the remark that anybody that is too
pious TO play croquet ought to be done up
in starch linen, put in bag, and hung up
like a suit of Sunday clothes, and not lei
out till meeting time.
