A RObin,s Costly Nest.

A robins nest was recently taken from a pear tree in the garden of W. F. Dra- per, in Andover, Mass, the material of which it was constructed having been selected with great taste. It included a lady's collar with cambric center and lace edging, and several yards of lace, two and four inches wide. The nes had evidently been abandoned by the occu- pant, whose income, the Lawrence Anaerico,, suggests. was not sufficient to justify living in such style as would be required in such coatly residence.

A SINGULAR THEFT. "A London hotel keeper was lately arrested charged with the singular crime of stealing gas. He leased 8 basement next to his hotel and connected his own pipes by a rubber tube with the main pipe there. It was shown that he had used 6OO,O feet of gas without paying for it, and the com pany recovered heavy damages.

Government Telegraphs.

The London Times has the following The public will learn with disappoint- ment that an experience of the shilling telegraph system, extending over several years, has not confirmed the hopeful an ticipations which were formed respect ing it upon the analogy of the penny post. The time is at hand when it will even cease to pay it's way, and, unless some considerable change can be intro duced into the present system, it can only become heavy and increasing per manent charge upon the finances of the country.
 The increased business which has fol- lowed the introduction of the shilling telegram has been greatly outbalanced by larger increase in the cost of work ing and maintenance Contrary to all expectations, as the number of messages transmitted has increased the net re- ceipts have steadily fallen off. Inland messages have increased from six mill lions in the last year of the telegraph companies to twenty millions year at the present time. In the year ending March, 1871, from about ten millions of profit of over three hundred thousand pounds. Each successive year shows a great falling off, and in the correspond ing year for 1874--1S75, with business which has doubled itself in four years, the profits have fallen off to little more than tenth of that sum, and the esti- mates for the present twelvemonth ex- hibit a positive deficit of s26s, ,OOO. That which in private hands was pay ing speculation has become under gov ernment management, though it's busi- ness has enormously increased and it's returns are speedy and unfailing, 8 source of serious loss.

The Army Worm in Worcester.

The Worcester (Mass.) GGsette says
 We have announced the appearance of l the s'army worm" in several towns in the southerly portion of the county, and have information of his appearance in this city MT. William T. Merrifeld in forms us that he has noticed for some ten days past fading and disappear ance of grass in one of his fields at the corner of Highland and West streets, and that he found, yesterday, that it was being ravaged by this new pest. The field has been i'll grass for the past twenty-five years, and last autumn was plowed and seeded down with common grasses. It was moved about June 20, yielding about two and half tons to the acre, and when the worms began their ravages had 9 second cut of about one and half tons to the acre, which is nearly all destroyed. On discovering the presence of the worms he at once set men at work to protect the adjoining fields, which he did by turning two fur rows, about yard apart, toward the fields to be protected, the worms being unable to crawl up the furrow of loose earth. The second furrow proved un- necessary, as none of the worms passed the first barrier. They soon gathered to the depth of an inch or more in the bed of the furrow, where they were trampled to death by his men. They were crossing West street to the fields on the east side, some of them climbing over board fence five feet high which obstructed their onward march. The worm is the larva of night-fying moth, and while more or less of them are seen every year, they appear in prodigious numbers at uncertain intervals. Their past ravages in; New England have been recorded in 1743, 177O, 179O, 1877 and 1861. The worm, at various stages of it's growth, is from one to two inches in length, and about as large as the com mon tree caterpillar. Its color is gray with longitudinal stripes of red and vel low. The method employed by MT. Merrifeld to prevent their extended ravages, is said by those who have had experience to be the best, although crushing them with roller has been found eficacious on hard, smooth fields. Hogs and fowls are also described as &C., tive agents for their extermination. They are repulsive in aspect and offen- sive in smell, and it is to be hoped that their appearance may be restricted to 8 small portion of the fields hereabouts. We are also informed that the worms have made their appearance at the city farm.
