An Editors Cool Wife.

William Young managing editor Of
the New York Sun who lives at 239 Dean
street Brooklyn, lost $50, Saturday night,
by burglar, but kept his life, perhaps
through the GOODNESS of his wife. The
couple were sleeping in the middle parlor
and Mrs Young, who was wakeful, on
account of sprained limb, saw the bur
glar enter the front parlor window and
approach the bed about o'clock in the
morning. She tried to rouse her hus-
band by pinching him, but inefectally
and the burglar coming to the bed, held
a club or pistol over her head, while he
put his hand under the pillow and took
out her gold watch, and the gold cross
which was attached to it by silk cord.
The cross clicked against the watch and
Mrs Young stirred and made slight
movement, as though she expected to
clutch the robber, whose face was so close
to her that she could detect the fumes of
tobacco in his breath. The thief quick
ly took out handkerchief that smelled
strongly of chloroform, but as Mrs
Young quoted down he put it up. Then
he went to the other side of the bed and
tried to get Mr.. Young's gold watch
from under his pillow. He could not
reach it, and snatching up Mr., Young's
pantaloons he went out as he had entered
Mrs Young by vigorous pinching at
length aroused her husband, and told
him that robber was in the house. He
jumped to the floor and ran to the front
of the house to the balcony. He cried
& Theft but no one was in sight, and
he started back to see what had been
stolen. He found his pantaloons on the
balcony under his feet. His pocketbook
containing $50 was gone, but the thief
had left 500 which was in the watch
pocket. In his haste to get away the
burglar also left Mrs Young's watch and
cross on the chair by the window, where
he had laid them to rifle the pantaloons
pockets. Mrs Young was awake all the
time, but feared that if she spoke the
man would shoot her husband or herself,
and she coolly determined to awake her
husband by pinches. At one time she
felt prompted to clutch the thief by the
throat as she could easily have done, but
she feared that he might shoot if she did
SO. Her. eyes were wide open, and she
saw every feature of the burglars face
and says that she will be able to identify
him if he is caught. The description
she gives corresponds with that of man
who, in the evening before saw Mr..
Young open his pocket book, which was
bulky with small change, to pay for
some confectionery.

The Potato Beetle.

The small leaf-eating beetle, suspected
by many farmers of this county to be the
Colorado potato beetle, is the three-lined
potato-leaf beetle or LENA triliaeatd OF
the entomologists. 1t is somewhat more
common this year than usual, but is no
stranger in New England and has been
abundant for the past few years, especi-
ally on the sea-coast.
Specimens presented by farmers OF
Wardsboro and of Dover, August 2lst,
were about three-eights of an inch long,
of rusty buff or orange color, with
three black stripes on the wing covers or
elytra. The larva is of dirty yellow
ish color and may be readily distinguish
ed by its disgusting habit of carrying a
load of dirt or f;eces on its back, which
operates to partially conceal or shield it.
This beetle deposits its eggs on the leaves
of the potato in June, in clusters of six
to eight. The larva mature in about
two weeks and the perfect insect appears
the last of July and first of August to
lay the eggs for a second generation, the
pupe of which remain in the earth all
winter.
The farmers may recognize the Colo
RADIO potato beetle, should it put in an
appearance in coming years, by its hav
ing ten black stripes on its wing cases.
1t is called Doryphora decem-lineata or
Ten.lined Spearman. The larva has
lateral row of black dots 1t feeds vo-
raciously on the potato leaves in the lar
vac state, about one month. This beetle
does not swoop down from aloft like a
cloud of locusts. to devour country,
but formerly moved eastward from its
habitat when first discovered at the rate
of about sixty miles per year, and ac-
cording to the calculations of the Smith
sonian Institution, it ought not to arrive
in Vermont before 1880 or 1881. But
the Colorado beetle has lately accelerated
its movement and has already reached
Southern New York even to Long Island,
in full force. In fact it comes in full
force or not at all. No reliable account
has yet been given of its scaling the
Green Mountains or swarming up the
Connecticut valley. When it comes,
there must be war of determination or
no potatoes. Till then let us eat our po-
tatoes in peace and endeavor to learn
something of the insect world which al
ready is and is still more becoming
power in the department of agriculture.

COnundrums,

Why did our City Fathers order the
liquor shops closed on the day Of the
circus
What right had they to interfere on
this particular day, (Which would have
been a harvest day for them) with the
most honorable employment of our most
respected citizens?
Why should not the business of rum
selling be carried ON. on that day as well
as other days :
Are travelling shows to have more
consideration than the welfare of our
citizens?
Ifitis hegeneral good thatrum-sell-
ing be prohibited for one day, why would
not the same principle apply to all days
alike? And if our village officers are
empowered to do this on days, when in
their judgment the public good will be
subserved thereby, then their power ex-
tends equally to all days in the year
and the exercise of it would call forth
the deep gratitude of many broken
hearts, and the blessings of many sor-
rowing, suffering households. 1t would
also go far towards providing for the
wants of those who find it difficult in
these hard times to secure the necessaries
of life for their families, but whose
dimes now find their way so readily into
the little rum-till which swallows so
much of the earnings Of the poor, and
fortunes of the rich; so much of health
and happiness and domestic bliss, with
out giving the least particle of value in
return.
The action referred to is an acknowl-
edgement that rum-drinking is the chief
producing cause of disorder and riot,
and the closing of the rum-shops the
most effectual way of suppressing these.
We admire the wisdom of the authori-
ties, as thus displayed; but are sorry
that their wisdom is so limited, as to be
exhausted by single days active oper-
alton. TEMPERANCE.

A HIGHwAYMAN SHOT. Constable
Hamer of Jamaica, Long Island, while
riding on lonely road, Wednesday
night, met highwayman who seized his
horse. Hamer fired, and the fellow fell
dead in the middle of the road. Hamer
got out of his wagon, which had been
partly overturned by the restiveness of
his horse, but hearing whistles in the
woods and swamps on both sides of the
road, got in again, drove to Jamaica and
returned with the coroner. The body,
which was stiff and lifeless when he left,
had, in the meantime, been taken away
by the other thieves.
