Statistics gathered at the Agricultural De
partment indicate that at the rate of ad-
yancemcnt eastward made by the Colorado
potato bug, that destructive insect will have
reached New England by next year, and it
Is estimated that they will cover the New
England States before the close Of the year
ISL They first appeared near the base of
the Rocky Mountains and reached the Mis-
souri, river in 1865, travelling at the rate Of
from sixty to eighty miles year. The States
most severely threatened this year are Della
ware and New Jersey and Western New
York. This insect has most enormous ca
pacity for reproduction. One female will
deposit from seven to twelve hundred eggs
at intervals during forty days In six DAYS
the eggs hatch into larvae, which feed upon
vines for rearly twenty days They then
descend into the ground and in some ten or
twelve days they come up as perfect beetles.
By the time they are week old, the sexes
are all paired again; in another week the
females commence laying eggs for another
addition to the family. One pair Of these
Colorado beetles would produce in a single
season, if undisturbed, a progeny of sixty
millions. They can be destroyed by Paris
green mixed with ashes and busted over the
plants.
In a recent letter to the New York Tn
tune, Col, Grosvenor explains the reasons of
the present coolness between the Democrats
and the Liberal Republicans in Missouri.
Briefly, they are Democratic greediness for
spoils, infltion mania, weakness for crooked
whisky, surrender to the Irish and Roman
Catholic element, wholesale cheating in the
st. Louis municipal election, gross ingrati-
tude to the men who struggled for their en-
fanchlsement, an unpleasant pertinacity in

Bat, gentlemen, in the same breath, our
friends say to Mr. Tilton and Mr. Moulton
why for three years, all through this land
By solemn declarations of mouth, by written
asseyerations, by letters, by reports. under
all circumstances, you have been persistently
declaring that Elizabeth r. Tilton was in
noeent, and that the only offence of Henry
Ward Beecher was improper solicitation
And yet we prove to YOU by the only proof
that by possibility can be given, that these
declarations were made with the srecifc
purpose Of protecting Elizabeth K. Tilton
and her family and concealing from the pub
lie the guilt OF Henry Ward Beecher. Wei.
now, We cannot prove this to YOU by the
persons to whom these declarations were
made. Mr.. Tilton would not have gone to
these various individuals and said Sir. NV
wife Is as while as snow, and Henry Ward
Beeeher has only attempted to seduee her
and tailed, and she repulsed him with seorn
but tell You this for the purpose of con-
cealing the fact that she was seduced. We
cannot prove it in that way no such declar-
alton as that could have been made. because
1t would have contradicted the yerv purpose
OF the assertion, and we prove by Tilton and
by Mculton that the declarations which they
made were Tor that specific purpose, with the
approval and concurrence of Henry Ward
Beecher and BY the professional advice of
benjamin +. Tracy, and repeated in every
form to meet every exigency and emergency
that arose in this case, and still, under the
light OF their own theory, and under the
authorities which We produce, they still in
sist that 'you are to be concluded by the
declarations which you made" Now Hen
ry Ward Beecher does not deny that this
