If everybody growing potatoes would
make a persistent use of Paris green
on their vines for few seasons The de-
structiye and disgusting bug might be
eradicated. Although this bug has not,
as yet, made it's appearance in unusual
Iy large numbers in this immediate vi
cinity, reports from other portions of
the county, and frona many counties of
the State, are to the effect that they are
more numerous at this season of the year
than ever before, and of course, We
need not hope that our locality will be
slighted by the pests. Feed them on
paris green that will do the business for
them, and if properly mixed and ap-
piled, will in no wise injure the potato
We have heard that plaster of-paris is
good thing to mix with the green
proportions about the same as when

Large swarms of the insect kingdom
are said to have passed over our town,
two or three nights within the past week.
There is considerable speculation and
conjecture concerning the character of
these insects. 1t is thought by some
that they are new importations of Col
orada potato bugs, and by others that
they are the advance guard of the grass
hopper brigade. There is certainly
something strange about it, at least, oc-
curing as it does, in the night season.
If the potato bng were capacitated for
lengthy aerial movements we would be
led 10 conclude that it was nothing
more nor less than a new importation of
that element of the insect kingdom, for
the reason that so far as our observa-
ton goes, this pest is more formidable
than ever in this quarter. So formida-
BILE and so numerous are they that the
potato growing community are already
despairing of the potato prospects. In
deed some have just simply abandoned
the idea of raising potatoes at all

Communicated

The late strike of the miners at Shaw
nee came TO a summary end on Monday
last. 1t seems that the B. & o. r. r.
Co., as well as the coal operators had be-
come worn out and desperate under the
outrageous conduct of the miners, and
the strike of last week which made the
operators violate the contracts for the de-
livery of coal, and stopped the transport
tation of the same by the B. & o. Co.
was 'THE feather that broke the eamel's
back" At all events il stopped the
camel backs from running and demoral-
lied the freighting business of the rail-
road company. We learn that the ulti-
natum was given the miners TO go 10
work on Monday, or quit forever, as the
operators would close their coal banks
for a wear. The result was that the
miners prepared to go to work on the day
stated; but here was where the joke came
in. The operators had found out the
ring leaders of the strike TO the number
of one hundred, and as the men were en-
tering the mines to commence labor,
these ring leaders were stopped, the un-
married men were paid off on the spot,
and notified that their services were re-
quired no longer, and were dispensed
with forever. The married men living
in houses owned by the operators, were
served with a notice to vacate premises,
and their services were also dispensed
with forever, and that the money due
them would be paid when they vacated.
This is a step in the right direction.
And now if the operators will take one
more step and publish black list of the
names of all striking miners, and agree
never to employ a man whose name has
in such list, there will be few
or no strikes hereafter. There are thou
sands of willing hands ready to take the
places of these public nuisances. ~
