EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION.-As aT
instance of the effect of heat and cold in
expanding and contracting the iron OF the
dome of the National Capitol, it is stated
that the colossal statue surmounting it in
clines four and halt inches to the west in
the forenoon, and the same distance to the
east in the afternoon. This fact has been
ascertained by fixing plumb line TO the
statue and dropping it to the Rotunda be-
low. As the morning sun upon the east
side of the dome heated the iron and caus-
ed an expansion on the side of the statue it
was thrown westward four and a-half
inches. In the afternoon. when the sun
upon the west side heated and expanded
that part ofthc dome, the statue inclined
to the east a similar distance.

A very singular circumstance occurred
in Perry township, over in the little state
of Greene, a short time ago, the pith OF
which is embodied in the following taken
from the Waynesburg Republican: The
father of family in that township took
sick, andhis friends and neighbors thought
he would surely die. The patient, of
course, was apprised of his finrl end, and
among other arrangements to cast anchor
ordered this coffin TO be made a married
daughter living in Ohio received iniorma-
ton of his illness, and was soon at his bed
side. A few days after, she was taken
sick and was buried in the coffin prepared
for her father, and the father rallied and is
getting well.

THE following short article taken from
the New York Sun, of the 18th of April
on the ''potatoe bug" rs it is generally
known among our people, was handed tC
us by one of the prominent farmers OF this
township, who thinks we are likely to be
greatly afflicted by this destructive enemy
of the potatoe crop.
"This great pest of the potato has at last
reached the Atlantic States, and our farm
ers must begin the work of destruction or
give up the cultivation of the potato. The
beetles appear to remain permanently in
any locality where they find potatoes cult
waited, increasing from year TO year in pro
portion to the amount of food furnished
them. We would advise farmers in all To-
calitics where this beetle has already ap-
pcared Or is likely to appear the present
season, to lay in a good supply of Paris
green in time, in order to have it ready
when wanted for use. Paris green mixed
with twenty parts of flour or the same o
plaster, scattered over the leaves ofthe in
tested vines, will destroy the larva of this
insect. \ small tin box with the bottom
punched full of holes, like a common pep.
per box, attached to the end of short stick,
will answer for dustfng poison over the
vines IN application should be made
upon the first appearance of the small yel-
low larva upon the vines and repeated as
often rs necessary to keep the pest iE check.
Neighbors should unite in this war upon
the beetle, and if they will do this there
need be no failure of the potato crop.
Paris green can be purchased at the drug
gists, but if ncighbors will club together
and send to wholesale dealers in our cities
4 great saving can be effected in cost.
