The best of mist akes happen sometimes. Such an one occurred last week, when T reported the Rev. MT. Hilliard as con- ducting MT. Forbes school over to Com. pounce am glad to correct that states ment by saying that MT. F. was finally able to take charge, personally, of his scholars on that interesting occasion.
 Early last spring the subject of a Centennial Tea Party" was agitated. It was decided to postpone it until after Lent; and being thus put off until Ca more convenient season. should arrive. the project has not been renewed. If we only had your Goshen correspondent down here to hunt up the relics, and to stir. tie people up to their Centennial duties, we might yet have some sort of jubilee gathering. As 1t is, 1t seems extremely doubtful whether our dormant patriotism will be sufficiently aroused to enable us to get up even picnic on the one hundreth anniveI sarY of our national Independence!
 In last weeks Enquirer I noticed what "H. N" said abont the Spanish quarter "made in 1776." This weeks paper have examined with some interest, thinking it probable that some other cor respondent had brought out an older coin; but seeing nothing of the kind, I venture to respond. The writer of this has an extremely fine Spanish quarter of 1736. Try again, Goshen

The potato bug is making havoc with the potato crop with varied success. In some fields, we hear, there are scarcely any of them to be seen; while, in others near by, the crop is nearly destroyed. We are making war upon them in various ways and with varied results. The first that came were the ones that laid tho eggs | from which those that are doing the dam age to the crop were produced. They, in some cases, were destroyed by catching them, and destroying the eggs. This was done in some cases, in part, by gathering them from the vines and grinding them to powder; and, in some cases, the hens, if they were short for animal food would clear them from the vines; but when the second crop matched and began to com- init their depredations the hens gave it up in despair, and other methods had to be adopted to prevent them from destroying the whole crop. At this time we are jar ring them from the vines and catching them in pans, and then how to kill tlem is question of some importance. they are r so very tenacious of life. I have tried va- rious ways without, at all times, being successful.
 In the first place I dug hole in the ground and covered them, but some of them that were slightly covered dug out and began work again. next tried hot ,>uhi;nrx %bop, In n ~>,,, %,p,,1 x>,, the water and left them for several hours. When there was no appearance of life, I dug hole in the ground, put them in, and covered them with a flat stone and put turf all around the edges and trod it down hard and supposed, inasmuch as they all seemed to be dead that they would need no more care. but to my astonish. ment. the next morning, one half of them had dug out from under the stone and were livelier and hungrier than ever. next tried putting them ill an iron pan and turned in kerosene oil and set it on fire. This produced the desired effect; part of the bugs looked like burnt coffee. and part were nearly consumed. The interest in strawberries here has been intense and is not yet subsided. The season has been most propitious and some of those weighed have been of enor- nous size. One weighed l oz. A. gr. and threatens to be eclipsed by one yet grow ing. There are plenty of them here weigh ing from three hundred and fifty to over four hundred grains. Last year the larg- est berry weighed 292 gr., and the largest average on the dozen was 228s gr.; the smallest, 150gr.

DEATH OF MRS. SAITH. We were star tied to hear ofthe death of Mrs. Walter D. Smith after a sickness of 24 hours. They were married less than two Years ago, in Cornwall, at the house of MT. T. s Gold, and she was sister of Mrs. Gold. Her in- fant daughter, two weeks old, was baptised over the coffin of her mother. She was a teacher in our Sunday School and was expecting soon to unite with thls church by letter from the Church in North Cornwall.
 THE CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE are ready for the Celebration. It is earnestly hoped that all subscribers will hand in their sub- scriptions this week. that the bills may be paid promptly. Please pay your mon- ey to the member of the Committee who took your name. Be on hand to see the magnificent fire works in the evening. r THE RELIC CoMMIrTER.-The members Of this committee are requested to meet at the Town Room next Saturday at 2 P. M. and they and all others are desired Co bring their relics at that time, as Monday will be busy day, and there will not be much time for such things.
 LIBERTY Po1E.-Last Wednesday, Ly- man Hall and Henry Norton. members of the Centennial Committee, assisted by g others. planted small Liberty Pole. 3S feet high Gone foot for each of the U: S.). in East street. about foot west of the Monument which marks the spot where one of the Committee, on the 24th of last Sept. found the remains of the Revolu- tionary Pole, IT inches in diamater and 5 feet inches below the surface. It ap- peared that the place dug one hundred years ago was very large, and filled al- most entirely with stones, and Mir. Hall was pleased to notice that the East half of the hole now dug. was filled with stones, many of them driven down end wise while the other half was the original solid earth. The object of the Committee was to carry out the suggestion of MT. Norman Norton, the oldest man present at the first of Feb. celebration, that the Stars and Stripes should wave over this place on the Fourth of July next, and we expect they will be seen there at that time.
 Then the Company, passing the Gen. tennial Elm (some of your readers will ! remember thaD, went up about one-third of mile, and under the direction of MT. Eugene P. Norton, the Committee appointed by the Church for that purpose. planted another tall pole few feet north of the Centennial Maple, where you may expect to see the flag of our Country way ing next Tuesday morning; and it was pleasant to see among the 8 men. women, and children who did it, young children who beside throwing in beautiful flowers. each cast in shovel full of earth, and Clarence N. Brewster enclosed an account of the transaction signed by us all, in bottle which was buried close to the pole | on the south side.
 There is so much to be done on the Fourth, that the regular programme does not include the exercises at these places. but the East street people, and all others who wish, are requested to be on hand at quarter past seven, opposite the old Isaac Baldwin place. where the road turns east towards Whist Pond.
