/ WHIsKEY SELLERS ARREsTED.--John

and brought before Justice Hayhurst, charged
with selling beer and whiskey in violation Of
the ordinance of the city and the laws of the

on the 18th inst. SS'
far The Colorado posato bug has reached
this section d country. Several lots and gar
dens in thiscity are infested with them, and
in one nuisance she potato vines have been so
badly injured that the owner has decided to
pillow them up. The bugs have also appeared
in Bucks CO. Tbs Isfelligsnees says: As
soon as the Potato plants push themselves
through the earth they are pounced upon by
the full-grown bugs, which at once proceed to
deposit mass of orange colored eggs on the
under surface of the leaves. 1t does not APP
pear that the mature bugs themselves devour
the leaves, but in a few days the eggs become
larve, possessing an appetite Of such voracity
that everything is consumed before them.--
The plants become covered with fat brown
worms, which are truly disgusting in appear
ance. These we may look for in vast num-
bers in our potato patches before another
week. 1t is evident that the bugs are here,
and that they have come. to stay. Many
methods of destroying them are suggested,
the only infalible one of which is the applica-
ton of Paris green. The best way of apply
ing this is to mix tablespoonful of the drug
with bucket Of water and drench the plants
with an ordinary watering-pot This will kill
the larvae without doubt, but is not sure death
to the bugs. The latter will have to be pick
ed or brushed off and scalded with boiling
water to ensure their destruction.

Losing a Button.

Walter Scott tells story of boy who
was with him in school, who always stood
at the head of his class. It was the Gus
tom of the scholars to change places in
their classes, according to failure or Sic
cess in recitation but though Walter
was number two, he could not get to the
head, because this boy never missed.
But Walter noticed that he had habit,
when puzzled by hard question, OF
twirling button on his jacket, and this
seemed to help him think out right
answer.
Walter, more through mischief than
any worse motive, cut CT the button
slyly one day, to see if it would make
any difference. The lesson was spell
ing lesson, and several boys at the foot
missed hard word. It came round to
the head. The boy instinctively put his
hand to the button. It was gone. He
looked down to find it, grew confused,
missed the word, and Walter went above
him. The boy never got to the head
again, seemed to lose his ambition, set
tied down into second-rate scholar, and
never accomplished much in life. Wal
ter Scott declared that he often suffered
sharp remorse at the thought that he
possibly spoiled the boy for school and
for life by cutting off the button that
had done such good service.

NUGGETS OF KNOWLEDGE.
TO ExTERMINATE vERMIN.

A most effectual insect powder is fe-
verfew. This, pulverized and pure,
added to an equal weight of powdered
borax and scattered IN the haunts of
bedbugs, reaches, or any other vermin,
will scare them away Satre it can be
rubbed on a dog to Kill feas and will do
its work etfectually.
TESTING WOOL.
To test the quality of wool, take q
lock from the sleeps back, and place it
ON o measured inch. II the spirals count
from thirty to thirty three in the space
OF an inch, it equals the finest Electoral
or Saxony wool grown. The diminution
of the number of folds to the inch shows
the inferiority.
GLUE TO RESIST FIRE.
The London Furniture Gazette gives
this recipe: Mix a handful of quick
lime in four ounces of inseed oil boil
to a good thickness, then spread on
plates in the shade and it will become
exceedingly hard, but may be easily dis
solved over the fire, and used as ordin-
airy glue. It resists fire after being used
for glueing substances together.
TO CLEAN LOOKING GLASSES.
Take newspaper, fold it small, dip it
in basin of cold water. When thor
oughly wet, squeeze it out as you would
a sponge; then rub it over the surface of
the glass, taking care that it is not SO
wet as to run down IN streams; In fact,
the paper must only be completely moist
ened, or dampened, all through. Let it
rest few minutes, then go over the
glass with fresh newspaper, til it looks
clear and bright The insides of win
dows may be cleaned in the same way;
also spectacle glasses, lamp glasses, etc.
White paper that has not been printed
on is better; but In the absence OF that
very old newspaper, on which the ink
has become thoroughly dried, should be
used. Writing paper will not answer.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF ACCIDENT.
Prof. Wilder, of Cornell University,
gives these short rules for action in case
of accident:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing;
dash cold water in them; remove cinders,
ETC., with the round point of a lead pen
Gil. e e
Remove insects from the ear by tepid
water. Never put a hard instrument
into the ear.

the wound; if vein is cat compress it
below.
Ifchoked, go upon all tours and cough.
For slight burns, dip the part in cold
water; if the skin is destroyed, cover
with varnish
For apoplexy, raise the head and
body; for fainting, lay the person flat.

The War in Liberia.

The troubles on the Liberian frontier
seem to have originated with English
traders, who stirred up the natives 10
quarrel and fight with the Iiberians.
The traders are said to be irritated by
the enforcement of law of the Liberian
Republic which requires the payment of
custom dues on all goods intended for
the interior. It is not the first time that
a controversy has arisen on the same
subject. In 1848. before the present
system of government In Liberia had
been organized, British coast traders
were in the habit of landing goods with
out paying custom dues. The goods
were se1zed by the Liberians, and when
Great Britain complained to the United
States, the reply was that Liberia was
responsible for her own actions. The
Republic was soon after organized. and
its independence recognized by Great
Britain and other powers.

SIMPLE ROCHESTER.
To test the freshness or the fertility of
an egg without breaking it, all that is
necessary is to "look into 1t Y with a
strong light. A simple continuance for
doing this easily and effectively is de-
scribed in the Pet Stock and Poultry
Bulletin as follows It is made of
stiff piece of paper Ozark color preferred),
five inches long, six inches wide at one
end, and four and one-quarter at the
OOAACAs AA4So AO14OC JO1L1CO OOSOtI1C1
with lap of half an inch by either paste
or a needle and thread. With this sim
pie instrument the eggs can be examined
at any time of day, and under any or
binary light. It is not necessary to have
a very strong light, as is required by
other methods. We regard it as much
the best article for the purpose we have
yet seen. It's use is like telescope
apply the smaller end to the eye, and
hold the egg at or in the larger. A per-
fectly fresh egg, examined by the tester,
will appear clear and light stale egg
is Opaque and dark. An egg that has
been set on for three days, if fertile,
should show a small dark spot on one
side near the large five sent nickle, quite
dark at the center, and shading off
lighter toward the edges. If, after be-
ing five days under heat, the egg is still
clear, it may be set aside as not fertile.

~ A bill has been introduced in

property, prov itiing tho former ownc!s

ment If this bill should pass almost
every one who lost property by the
tax sale would accept the terms, and
many who nrc in great need would be
the recipients of quite sum of money.
The proceeds of the sales amounts to
over six hundred thousand dollars, the
most OF which wus received for lands
on Port Royal and st Helena islands.
This woule: also settle tho question of
