Ringing for the Water Bow.

A good story 10 told of verdant one
who was passenger on railroad express
train. and became thirsty. "Wherc's that

of his next neighbor. "IIc has gone for
ward TO the baggage car, l suppose" was
the reply. "Well, dye s'pose | kin GIT
him back here agin ?" Certainly" said
the other, "you have only to ring for him !"
and he nodded toward the bell line above
their heads. Before any one could prevent
it, Rustic had seized the line and given 1t a
tremendous tug. Three shrill whistles
were heard, half a dozen brakemen ran to
their posts, and the train came TO stand
still with q suddenness that startled half
the passengers with establishment, and
caused every man near window to raise
it and look out to see what was the matter.
In a few minutes the conductor, red and
excited, came foaming into the car to
know who pulled the bell rope. ''Here,
mister, this way; I'm the man." shouted
the offender, drawing all eyes upon him,
"You !" said the conductor; "what did

THE COLORADO POTATO BUG.
Letter From Prof. Peter Collier.

Prof. Peter Collier, of the University of
Vermont, and secretary of the board of
agriculture, has sent the following COM
munication to the Burlington Free Press
and Times relative to the genuine Colorado
potato bug and its habits, which may be of
service to our readers
The papers report that in several local.
ties in our state the Colorado potato bug
has put in an appearance and begun his
ravages upon this important crop. l have
received many letters of inquiry from our
farmers, in some cases with accompanying
specimens of the so-called Colorado bug,
but am happy to state that in no case thus
far have had a specimen of the veritable
Colorado bug sent me, and / have almost
come to hope that all the reports as to
their presence with lis this season are in
correct. A few years ago l had opportu-
nifty of making examination of list of
the genuine Colorado bugs, or Doryphora
decem-hneata of the etomologsts, which
were from Kansas and Il find that their
characteristics were so marked, and have
been so clearly defined ia the various agri-
cultural reports, that no one need be in
doubt, but can readily satisfy himself whe-
thNi Ill hby SthoC thlo Soiciu Btot ioS up

report for 1867, page 90; also in report
for 1870, page "a, full accounts, with
accurate plates, may be found. from which
it appears that others have, like many of
our own people, COMPOUNDED several in
sects in their reports. The Doryph0ra de-
cemtineata is about quarter of an inch
wide and three Fights of an inch long, and
has, as its name implies, ten black lines ex-
tending longitudlnally along its wing Gov

tensve in some four towns of our state.
But these are much smaller, more slender,
with three black stripes on their wing COW
ers, and some which resembles the common
yellow bug, which infests our cucumber
plants. The Colorado bug may be found
when it appears among us, on the potato,
tomato, egg plant and it is said that they
manifest decided choice IN their selection
of food, certain varieties of potatoes re.
ceiving their first attention.

In illustration of this tendency, we have
presented the utterance of an able thinker,

augurated in the recent orations of George

Family Reunion.

On the evening of July Sd there was
gathering of the Stowel family, at one of
the most beautiful homesteads to be found
In Vermont, now occupied by Dea. George
Porter. Mrs. Porter gave reception to
Mark V. Barbour and wife of Toledo,
Ohio. Mrs. Barbour is granddaughter
of the patriarch of the family, Mr.. Chauncy
Stowell. The old gentleman, whose white
locks are 30 well known in Addison county
and throughout the state, was present with
eight of his children and eleven grand
children. Many old friends of the family
were present, among whom we noticed,
Hervey Spencer and wife, of Burlington
Rev. Mr.. Weddell and wife, of Iowa, who
has recently received call from st. Ste
phen's church in Middlebury Edgar San
ford, wife and daughter, of Cornwall
Miss Bell Bennett and Charles Lavalse, of
Boston L. l.. Barber and wife of Benson;
and Miss Emma Calendar, NJ. D., and sis
ter of Ferrisburgh. We saw once more
the genial face of our old friend Clark
Wicker, who was present with his wife
and daughter. Mr.. Wicker now lives in
Kentucky, and is visiting to the old home
and friends. The evening was beautiful /;
the party success. Mrs. Porters recep-
ton was the warmest-her ice cream the
coldest-and the good cheer most abund-
ant. Mrs. Barbour sang her sweetest
songs. Miss Lizzie Stowel, of Maple
wood institute, presided at the piano. Miss
Jenny Wicker, the little fairy queen OF
dance, showed us the poetry of motion,
| and brought down the house with an old

THE AGE OF WOOD.
Dedicated TO Maggie on tho Fifth Anniver-
sary Of Herl Wedding Day.

At marriage f'tes and golden wedding days,
Women and love call forth poetic lays;
We seek another theme, and, Ill or good,
VIII sing In praise OF nothing but or iCood.
With many brass and shoddy are the rage;
Some talk OF silver, science tells Of stone,
But we VIII sill the icooden age alone.
No song or cooling bids him longer wait;
But seeks tn vert OF the leafy wood.
To build wooden nest for coming brood.
SO man when mated thinks OF joys to come,
No longer waits, but builds q ,cooden home
Brings home the bride, seats her on chairs Of
wood:
Provides on wooden tables daily food
He rests on wood-wood forms the bridal bed,
From which good angels keep u wooden head
Mans Eden home was formed of leafy wood,
And its great author called 1t very good
There's grandeur In the woods, no human
thought
Has planned such temples as by nature
The sculptured columns and the leafy dome,
me twlnlng arches, happy song birds home,
With golden lichens draped are far more grand
Than Roman temple by u Raphael planned.
There's beauty in the wood the very flowers
still hang on woody stems, that blooned In
There's music in the wood no organ note
can emulate the song of feathered throat;
Yet sun more soft, more pure, more sweet than
these
Are forest notes, when kissed by passing breeze.
We call the first five years the age or wood,
For welded life then teens with every good
The heart is young, and life is gay and fair,
No thought Of coming age, its toll and care,
But like the feathered Songsters of the grove,
We give these years to music, pleasure, love,
My friends, your wooden age has passed away,
How happily past, is known by you to-day.
II well, we greet YOU and with you rejoice,
That the dear God has sanctlned your choice.
This day another age you will begin,
Ametollc age, and called the age OF tin
Oh, keep 1t bright and let no base alloy
Fer enter in TO dampcn any joy;
And II IL pleases God your lives TO spare
TIL almond blossoms gather on the hair,
And heads are silvered DER with coming age,
| The age OF slver-still keep bright the page.
Then If perchance you reach the age of gold,
And failing strength reminds that you are old
| Still look beyond, for now but just before
| Youl see the glitter OF golden shore,
And on that shore spread out a marriage feast
| Where God makes welcome every coming guest

A Spirit Dispatched.

A lady in Worcester, Mass, who put
her clothes to soak the night before re-
cent washing day. awoke her husband dur
ing the night with the startling informa-
ton that there were spirits in the house,
and that the clothes were jumping out of
the tub. The husband answered her, say
ing that he would dispatch the spirits, but
was very much surprised to find the case
exactly as stated, the clothes were jump
ing mp in the tub. An investigation fol-
lowed, and in the pillow case was found a
large rat, the animal having got in there
before the clothes were put in the water.
Not liking the soaking lie attempted to es-
cape by jumping and his jumps produced
spiritual manifestations. The spirits hav-
ing been materiaized, were promptly dis.
patched according to promise.

appreciation of the dangers of the careless
use of powder and firearms on the Fourth,
which is worthy of careful consideration.
There seems to have been, according to the
reports that reach us by telegraph and
through our.exchanges from various points,
much longer list of accidents in the cele-
bration of the fourth of July than usual.
Beside the careless use of firearms and ex-
plosion of powder, is added long list OF
railroad accidents, steamboat collisions,
drowning of bathers, boiler explosions, etc.
same period is correspondingly long and
frightful. The excessive heat of the
weather, causing exhaustion and careless
ness. on the part of those who have in
charge locomotives, switches, steamboats,
and boilers, Is undoubtedly chargeable
with the undue proportion of such casual
ties. The mortal violence, by the madden
ing of human passions, resulting in so
much stabbing, shooting, beating and other
outrages, comes from the heat intensified
by Intoxicating drinks which are taken in
enormous potiops upon holiday vacations.
The most remarkable incidents are in the
number of drowning casualties of young
persons while bathing. The saddest of all
is that coming to us from Fall River,
Mass, Of the drowning of six boys, of
from eight to eleven years of age, which
is so graphically announced by telegraph:
"Thcy ha joined hands and walked into
" The riv.r, but stepped off sand bar
/" into water beyond their depth, and SC
marched to their united destruction, thelr
" little hands being found still clasped one
"to another in death as in their play.

BALLOONING IN VERMONT


Mr.. Frank X. King was to make bal
loon ascension at fair in Hydepark. on
Thursday last, but high wind which
came up prevented successful consumma-
ton of the undertaking. Hydrogen gas
was manufactured on the ground to fill
the balloon, but the wind was so strong
that an ascension with any degree of safety
was entirely out of the question. 1t was
fonnd impossible to retain the balloon ex-
cept at tho risk of its destruction and it
was liberated without an occupant. This
is undoubtedly the balloon which Is re-
ported to have come down at Boothbay,
Me-, the same evening. The distance from
Hydepark to Boothbay in an air line Is
about ITO miles.

made, and that fair specimens OF hei

Our policy should be by all possible;

position Of our vast material wealth
at the Centennial. We hope oui
people-those who are in official Pc

consider this matter, and by agitating
the question, contributing specimens
etc, will enable our Commissioner:

the State.
