The COLORADO POTATO BUG.-This dread
full pest, which has for several years past de-
stroyed the potato crop in some portions of
the West, has, we regret to learn, made its
appearance in various sections of Hartford.
Mr.. Jacob Lively, who resides near Church
vile, has brought us some specimens taken
from patch of early potatoes. which they
were in a fair way to destroy when discover
ed. They are in shape not unlike the land ter
rapin, dark brown in color, with yellow
stripes running lengthwise of the insect.
They vary in size from cc.cighths to half
an inch in length, and about one -fourth of an
inch in breadth. When handled they draw
in their head and legs, and lie perfectly
quiet, thus completing their resemblance to
t'rrapn. AS soon as Mr.. Lively made the
discovery he undertook the task of killing
the obnoxious intrudcrS and succeeded so well
that in dry or two he had destroyed all
that were to be seen, by crushing them with
the foot on the blade of hoe. The eggs of
this insect are saffron yellow in color and
are laid on the under side of the leaf hence
the difficulty of destroying them by the ap-
plication of poisonous substances. Mr.. Live
zy counted 4s eggs on one potato leaf
Col. e. II. Webster has had them destroy
cd by crushing them between two small
smooth pieces of board. This is, perhaps,
the most speedy way to get rid of them. As
soon as they are discovered an incessant war
should be wagcd against this enemy.

The Assessment Law Imperative.

The Court of Appeals have decided that
the assessment act passed at the late session
of the Legislature, is imperative. The new
assessment will therefore not take place.
The court decides that if the Legislature fail
ed to express its real intentions it is for them,
and not for the courts, to amend the law and
make it express the legislative will and that
even if the first section was not fatal to the
law, there are SO many imperfections in the
act that much difficulty would attend, and
perhaps litigation grow out of it, if enforced
There was no hesitation on the part of the
court in giving their conclusions, as no scri-
Gus consequences will ensuc to the public by
the failure of theact. The system ofrcvcnue
in force is sufficient, and an assessment can
be made hereafter 10y II law more carefully
framed.
The public sentiment, in our own county
at least, has been largely against new as
sessnent at this time chiefly on account of
the expense attending the same, and there
will therefore be but few to lament the ac-
ton Of the Court of Appeals.
In the course Of its remarks on the subject
the Baltimore San says:
The principles upon which the court rest
their decision as 10 the unconstitutionality
of the law will find such general acceptance
with all classes throughout the State that
we have not thought it necessary further to
enlarge upon them, although it is proper to
add that Judge Stewart dissents both from
the conclusions and the reasoning of the ma
jority of his brethren The ground occupied
by the court, however, is the only iafe and
conservative ground. 1t is the business of
the Legislature to make laws; OF the judici-
AIRY to interpret them. In the construction
of laws the intent of the Legislature is I'M
doubleday to prevail, but that intent must be
gathered from the words of the law itself, and
be rcconcilable with its provisions. However
satisfied the court may be, morally speaking,
rf the intent of the Legislature, it has no
right TO supply the omission of the Lcgisla-
turc to carry out that intent, much less to
assume that the Legislature intended the OPP
positc of what it has said. To venture upon
such II course of judicial construction would
be opening the door wide to all sorts ofabusts.
The laws Of the State would soon come to be
not what the Legislature has enacted, but
~''sisssitt-thc judges arc of opinion the Legisla.
iure ought 10 have enacted.

THE BLACK BAss.-Thc reason why the

Being hardy, and guarding tts own nest

surprising that it multiplies more rapidly
than any other fish. The characteristics TIA
ken in connection with its game qualities and
