ceived, and | intended to be present up to this
hour, but came to this place yesterday to trans
act some important business, and now find that

necessary to complete the monument will be
raised. / do not know of anything That the peo-
pie of Old Northumberland county could do that
would be more honorable aud patriotic than thus
to honor her dead soldiers. We owe it to them,
aud should consider it duty and privilege
and do not believe there is man, woman or

something If the proper eXertions were made.
Thanking you for your kind invitation, and re-
GREETING my inability to be there, am sincerely

THE PoTAToE BEETLE.-We find that this ra-
pacous insect has become numerous in this Sec
ton of country, and is playing havoc with the
potatoe plants generally. Many of our farmers
are kept busy hunting and destroying these in
sects to prevent the entire destruction of their
crops. The rapid increase of this beetle is noted
in western paper as follows:
s'The great numbers in which this insect ap-
pears will occasion no surprise when it is known
shat the female deposits as many as 200 or
200, even more eggs at one time on the
leaves of the young pOtatOe. These eggs are at
tached by one end to the under node of the
leaves usually in clusters of from one to two
dozen. The larvae hatch i'll IA few days, and feed
on the leaves of the plant for about seventeen
days, and then descend to the ground, where
they change into pupae at the surface of the
earth. The perfect beetle appears about ten or
twelve days after the pupas is formed, begins to
pair in about seven days, and on the fourteenth
day commences to deposit her eggs again. There
are several broods annually, and the last passes
under the earth and remains there during the
winter
From the above il will be seen how prolific
| these insects are, and to what extent they can
DEFY the most persistent efforts of the husband
man to escape their dcvastations. Many devices
have been contrived, and variety of destructive
agents employed to check the depredations of
this beetle, but it has thus far successfully resist
ed most remedies. The tedious operation of
knocking it off the vine and then killing it, not
only exhausts the patience of any one who at
tempts to get rid of il in this way, but seldom re-
suits in its disappearance. Infusion of Paris
green, which is compound of arsenic, copper
and acetic acid, have proved effective in eItirpa-
ting the bugs. but if made too strong are apt to
| injure the growing vines, and in fact most RENE
dies of this kind are apt to endauger the plants.
Whatever course it may he thought proper to
adopt in dealing with this nuisance, gathering
or crushing the insects in the naked hand should
be avoided, as they possess poisonous qualities
when handled, and many instances are reported
of injuries received in this way.
"TAX-PAYER" declines even an attempt to sub
stantiate his assertion that the borough debt was
upwards of $50, 900. His unwarranted attack on
us has recoiled upon his own head, even with the
assistance of his marshalled aid.
| A MAMMOTH black snake has lately been seen
on the new road over the hill, east of Sunbury.
His snakeshp is supposed to be about twelve
| feet in length. Two snakes measuring about
six feet each have been captured lately in that
! vicinity.

MANY Of our subscribers have probably forgot

again remind them of that fact Our paper bills
become due about the first of every month, and
we are not in Circumstances which enable us to
lay out of our money the interest, particularly
since our profits have been reduced through our
enlargement. 1t certainly must be evident to
every one of our subscribers that we cannot.pub-
lish q PAPER as large as those for which are
charged So 90, on better quality of paper, and
lay out of our money long, rs We are compelled
to pay interest on money standing oSt. We
therefore appeal to all to be punctual in the pay
ment of their subscription, &c, that we may be
enabled to discharge our Indebtedness. Upon
the punctuality of our patrons depends the fur
ther improvement Of the An,sricam. In addition
to the advantages derived to us through their
punoiuality, they would save the sum of fifty
cents per annum. We are at present very much
in need of money. Having sent bills to a majo-
rty of those who owe us, we hope they will re-
spond at once for their own benefit rs well as
Ours.

speedy consummation Of this monumental pro-

THE MARKET QUEsTIoN.--There was a warm
contest over this subject in the Council Chamber
on Tuesday night. The petition of large mum.
Der of our citizens, asking for division of the
market, so as to give the people of the West
Ward equal privileges with those of the East,
was rejected by tie vote, 5 for and against
this fair and reasonable request, the Chief Bur-
CESS being detained at home by sickness. Every
member of the East Ward voted against the pro-
position without regard to the rights of the petit
TONERS or the justice of their claims although the
petition was signed by a number Of East Ward
citizens. There is no doubt, but that more than
two thirds of our citizens are in favor of the
measure, and the time is coming when some OF
those dsinterested patriots who have been run
ming the machine to suit their own selfish views
will learn that the rights of citizens cannot be
trampled upon with impunity. There was no
reason whatever why the prayer of the petition
ers should not be granted, and no valid objection
was or can be made against it. If the citizens OF
the West Ward have no rights which the East
Ward Councilmen are bound to respect, it is time
they should know it. And if the management
OF the East Ward is to be continued under the
guardianship of the immaculate patriots OF the
East, they should also know who those guar
dians are, that they might make their submission
accordingly. But there is one thing they should
and must respect, and that is the common law of
the land if they have no regard for common jus
tice. They may be taught that they have no
more power to authorize nuisance by packing
a market in q narrow street on both sides than
they have to fence up the highway.
