CaterptllaYs.

EditOr Stur:-In one Of your issues OF
last week you stated that these troublesome
pests were not as numerous this season as
usual, and attributed the cause to their
destruction by the English sparrows. Ny
experience is otherwise, and any person VINO
has the care Of shrubbery will, 1 feel assured,
attest the fact that they are not only as
numerous this season, but, If possible, more
destructive than usual. In addition to the
gardens, the shade trees have suffered
greatly, some OF them being deprived Of their
entire foliage. Until those having charge Of
the young trees on our streets gave their
attention to the ravages Of the csterpillars
during the last two or three weeks, numbers
could have been seen entirely enveloped by
their webs, and most Of their foliage de-
stroyed.
i must again differ with you In regard to
merits claimed for the English sparrows
From my experience, am forced to the con-
clusion that they much prefer grain to in
sects, and am strengthened in this opinion
from watching them attentively the past
three seasons. II they are insectiuorous they
belle their name; for they from my observa-
tiOn) will leave the shrubbery entirely, and
seek the streets and house lots for other food.
In addition, / much fear they will eyentu-
ally, from their belligerent nature and rapid
increase, drive our sparrows and other in
sectivorous birds away, and prove, instead
OF q blessing, a curse to our gardens. o.

Editor Ssar:-There IL reason to fear that
on the removal OF the wooden blocks from
the Avenue the exposure OF the decayed or
the action OF air, heat and water, will cause
disease OF dangerous type. IL viii be re-
membered that when + street north was, .

The Avenue pavement With Its rotten tim

as quick succession as possible. No great
extent OF the street should be uncovered aud
broken up weeks and months before the paw

CAMP NEAR GAIrHERsBURG, MoyrGoM-
cry COUNTY, Md, August g, 1s76.-The
camp meeting Is ended, and all is in q state
Of confusion. The large majority OF the tents
are struck and folded away, not to be used
scattered all over the grounds; some or them
busy packing away their things, and the
sound OF the hammer as 1t rings through the
depot, preferring to wait there until the train
arrives that Is to bear them away from the
scenes or the past two weeks. Already the
place has dismal look, so much SO that
some OF the families who intended remaining
over until after the jubilee to morrow
changed their minds at the last moment, and
are busy getting ready to go with the multi
remains is that of Mr.. Richard Willett, who
spent several weeks on the ground before the
commencement OF the camp, and he only
expected to be present at the jubilee to- NOR
row.
Down at the depot the scene is a busy one
Bsggage OF all kinds and description lies
scattered over the entire ground, and the
members OF the committee on transportation
are busily engaged In packing the freight
cars; A large number Of the tentsrs left on
special train this morning at 10Y O'Clock,
and the remainder on the 3:H p. m. train.
Everybody seems to have been pleased
VITA the arrangements this year, and al
though vote of thanks was not offered the
committee, yet the general verdict was one
OF approval and commentator, and nearly
All, III not all, return TO their homes feeling
better and happier than when they came
Several take home children who have been

There seems to be a new interest taken In
this grove; several gentlemen within the
past two or three days have settled upon
sites on which to erect cottages. Mr.. Wash.

family, and has already selected his site.
He has also promised to erect a building to

ton grant him q 81 table location. b 1th of
these buildings he intends shall be noted for
their style and beauty. Mr.. Boyce, OF
Providence chapel, has also selected his site.
end intends building this winter. So tina.
next summer we may expect quite a mum
Der OF handsome cottages.
And now one word as to catering. I
would be better In future If each charge (fol
lowing the example set by Union chapel
should have its own caterer. 1t is probable
the dissatisfaction which prevailed this wear
would thus be avoided.
There was q lively foot-race at one OF the
Photographic galleries during the early part
OF the camp. The photogra pner, 1t appears,
had been 'indispOsed" for several DAYS and
was unable to attend TO business. His part
ner could not run the place alone, and con-
tr1yed plan to keep customers or by sta
tfoning setter dog before the door OF the
tent. One day one of the Christian workers
thought 1t would be well to call on the pho
tographer and induce him to attend the SER
vice. AS the Jealous brother drew near
the dog made for him, and the way he turned
and ran was worthy Of the best time OF Dex-
ter. M.
