REVIEW OF THE HOME MARKETS.
WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE ISDIANAPoL1s
WHOLESALE MARKETS.

MONDAY EVENING, June =.
The general aspects of trade were good, and
business men are not complaining. Collections
are hard, which creates caution ON the part of
merchants. They are not anxious to sell unless
the pay is coming in on time. Corn is lower but
same as last week. Provisions were quiet and
firm at the same figures as for two weeks past.
In the grocery trade there has been little 1uctu-
alton. Coffees are weak and quiet. Sugars firm
and stronger. For butter anu egg men it is a
hard time and the trade is light. Sales were
made of 100 barrels flour private terms a cars
choice red wheat at 81 10: 2 cars red at 81 IL.
Quotations are given for the buying prices of
grain and produce, and the selling prices for
flour and other merchandise.

Salic Smith, aged II, pupil in the female
school at Oakland, KY. was fatally burned during
the school exhibition on Thursday evening of last
week. A coal-oil lamp exploded the stage
and enveoped her in flames, She rushed among
the audience, but most of them fed affrighted
through the doors and windows. Her father
had his hands badly burned in attempting to save
her.
At Providence, r T.. on Tuesday, four or five
little boys, while on their way to school, stole a
medicine case from a doctors carriage and swal-
lowed poisonous drug which they found in the
case. One boy, four years old, is dead, and the
others are in a dangerous condition.
According to the Washington Star, it costs
the country about 500 per day during the heated
term to supply the House OF Representatives witl
iced tea and lemonade.
The Christian Register says; A woman who
cannot in any emergency make or repair gar

leaf. These ere speedily Matched. The larva
when full grown, is over half an inch long, very
thick in the middle, and taperng towards head
and tail. 1t is of pale yellow color, often
dusky or freckled on the back, with small black-
ish dots, and along each side are two rows OF
large black dots. The legs are black, and the
head black and shining.

modes of preventing its ravages have been sug-
gested. Brushing or shaking the larvae from the
haulm into vessel is sometimes tried, but this
is laborious and dangerous operation Dust
ing the leaves with white hellebore powder is an
effective remedy when it is well done; the powder
mus however, be freshly ground, as it loses It's
efficacy when kept too long. Paris green is also
recommended, but both Powders are irritating
to those applying them, while the latter is ex-
tremely poisonous. Birds, it is said, will not
destroy the bugs as The emanations from their
crushed bodies are noxious even TO human be-
ings, and, it is said, have caused several deaths.
The symptoms resemble those caused by the bite
of the rattesnake The beetle has several insect
enemies, especially some varieties of Of adybird,
which pray upon its eggs and Larvae.
There has been some considerable alarm in
England, lately, lest the pest should be imported
thther in American potatoes, and official investi-
cations have been made in order to determine
the advisabilty Of prohibiting imporiations O.

The Colorado Potato Bug.

The Colorado potato bug, or doryphora decen,-
lneata, has for several years past made alarming
ravages in the potato crops of the western sec
tion Of the country. Some forty years ago, il
was known in the Rocky Mountains, where it
seemed 10 be indigenous, feeding upon the sola-
uun, rostratuni, or wild potato. When the COM
mon tuber was introduced in that region, the
beetle soon attacked 1t; and spreading from one
field to another in 1859 1t had reached point
one hundred miles west Of Omaha. In 1861 II
invaded Iowa. and, crossing the Mississippi In
ls64-6, II has proceeded eastward at the rate o.
about sixty miles per year SO that il will prob
ably reach the Atlantic, unless some means be
found for III exserminalion, during 1878.
