Potato Planting.

The farmers throughout the potato rails
ing sections of this State are in quandary
whether or not to plant any this spring
They fear the visitation of the Colorado
buga in still more devastating swarms than
last year. Two years ago only few Of
these destructive insects were seen, last
year these few had increased to a most
alarming extent, and if the same rate OF
progression is kept up this year, they will
be as bad as the plaques of Egypt. And
there appears to be only too good reason to
fear that these anticipations will be realized
We have been told by farmers that in dig
ging post holes lately they have unearthed
handtuls of these bugs at depth of from
two and half to three feet They will
probably emerge in a lively and hungry
condition as soon as the potato crop comes

A teacher in a Boston Sunday school was
last Sunday explaining to his class of bows

OF the number, more inquisitive that atten-

what was the need of ladder for them ?'
This was poser, and while he was meditat-
ing reply and unable to answer, another
by exclaimed-'I'll bet l can tell what
they used the ladder for" "Out with it,
then, said the teacher. ooh, I guess they
were molting." The teacher did not dis
pute him. Another teacher asked bow
'Who was the first man p "George Wash
ington," was the reply" What makes you
think so ?" "Father says he was first in
war, first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen." "That only means
that he was the leading man in this coun-
try; but there were millions of men before
this country was known Adam was the
first man perhaps he was, if you count
foreigners" was the reply of young America.

Watch Found Imbedded in Tree.

The following story is going the rounds
of the papers, viz:
GA few weeks ago Jacob Klinck, far
mer, near Fox Chase, Montgomery County,
was saving down large chestnut tree
when the teeth of the saw came in contact
with some metallic substances. After the
tree had been felled gold watch, two gold
pencil cases and a gold chain was found i'm
bedded in the wood, eighteen inches from
the surface. They were wrapped in soiled
sack The tree was sawn off close to the
ground, and they had evidently been hid
den at the junction of two roots, and the
wood had grown over and enclosed them.
The watch was old fashioned, having a case
which could be detached and was inscribed
with the date 1740. One of the pencil
cases was provided with pen. The other
had only pencil and was minus the seal.
The chain was long and was intended to
pass around the neck of the wearer. There
was also gold watch key which however,
did not fit the watch. The tree had attain
ed great age, being about six feet in di-
ameter An old mansion once stood near
by, and it is supposed that the articles in
question were buried during the war of the
The watch was uninjured eX-
cept that the hands were rusted off. The
owner has had it repaired and will exhibit
it to any who are curious to see such a
relic He lives about mile above the Fox
Chase, on the county line"

Pork at 1888 per Pound.

We doubt if any of our readers ever felt
like paying the above price for pork
not even when it is manufactured into the
toothsome sausage "and lever-waerst" Dur
ing the past month Mr.. T. S. Coopers, Of
Coopershurg, Lchigh county, breeder Of
Berkshire pigs, has sold four out of his
herd, viz: "Royal Beauty" -four oi
whose pigs, out of one litter, were sold by
Mr.. Cooper to two breeders in Illinois
for S1,100,) "Sweet Seventeens Sister,
"Sweet Seventeen's Niece" and "Sally the
IXth." receiving therefor $1,000 each
This may seem like an extravagant price,
but the sales were made to Mr.. w. c.
Norton, of Aldenville, Wayne county
Penn'a, whose knowledge of this noted
breed of pigs is second to no Que in this
country.
Mr.. Cooper made an importation last
spring, and will in person make second
purchase of some of the most noted prize
winning pigs in England, for which country
he starts in a short time A month or two
before the opening of the stock exhibition
at the Centennial he will have consigned to
him by such noted Berkshire breeders in
England as Capt. Arthur Stewart, Russell
Swanwick, Esq, and Rev. Mr.. Bailey, and
by the Duke of Marlborough, Lord Ches-
ham, and Mr.. John Flemming, celebrated
sheep breeders, some of their best stock,
which will be herded at Linden Grove
for several weeks previous to being
exhibited. The Duke of Bucceluch, of
Scotland, is also expected to send over
some of his best Ayrshires-Mr. Cooper,
having secured several cows and bull
from this gentleman's herd last spring.
Mr.. Norton, of Aldenville; who purchas-
ed the noted pigs above mentioned, is a
young man scarcely twenty-three years of
age, but has already gaind fine reputa-
ton for a thorough knowledge of Berk-
shires and other stock. With such pigs
in his herd he will take rank at once with
the famous breeders of this country

Railroad Gossip.

The Pittsburg Commercial says: ''There
is some talk of changing the route of the
proposed new coal road between Boston
and to the anthracite coal regions of this
State, from Pittston, which is situated near
the extreme northern end of the anthracite
basin, to the Lehigh basin, directly through
the heart Of the middle coal fields. The
Lehigh and Eastern Railway Company
have already got their road under way.
They will reach the Hudson river at Pough-
keepsie from the Black Creek region, or
middle coal field, by the construction Of
130 miles and the latter road will connect
with existing roads already in operation
leading to Pittsburg, or the Baltimore and
Ohio road, crossing all the leading roads to
Philadelphia and New York, thus making
connection with the network Of all the ex-
isting improvements in this State. As to
the feasibility of the route, it is claimed
that there viii be no grade against the coal
trade, so far as to the Hudson river, that
will exceed thirty feet per mile and the
Lehigh and Eastern Railroad Company have
a subscription sufficient to grade three
fourths Of their road. The distinct pur-
pose, however, is to open new and nearer
route from our coal fields to the East, either
in one direction or the other"

Reading One Mile Away from Light

From the ReUue AiIJtdtre q EStrGnger.
A pew electric light, experimental upon
some weeks ago on the roof Of the Siemens-
Halske works at Berlin, proved SO success
fuI that ordinary writing could be read by
its aid at the distance of mile, When
the light was thrown towards the clouds
by means of a mirror luminous train ap-
peared thereon, which much resembled the
tail of a comet, and drew together great
crowds of spectators in tie streets. Signals
made by the instrument were also repeated
upon the clouds, becoming thus visible at
very great distance. The experiments were
made in the presence of large number OF
officers of artillery and of other branches OF
the government service, and were continued
for nearly two hours. The instrument,
which is provided with locomotive engine,
will be set up in the Tegel artillery polygon
for further experiments, the German war
department having the intention of pur-
chasing several of the machines for military
use, both a6oat and ashore.

A Mouse Kills Its Man.

From the Toronto Globe.
An extraordinary occurrence was brought
to light at an inquest held on the body ofa
man ia South London. In workroom
where many young girls were at work
mouse suddenly made its appearance on
table, causing, of course, considerable com
motion and general stampede. The In
truder was seized, however, by young
man who happened to be present, but the
mouse slipped out of his hand, and, run
ming up his sleeve, came out between his
waistcoat and shirt at the neck. The un-
fortunate man had his mouth open, and the
mouse. on the lookout for some convenient
place of concealment, entered the man
mouth, and he, in his fright and surprise,
swallowed it. That a mouse can exist for
a considerable time without much air has
long been popular belief, and was unfor-
tunately proved to be fact in the present
instance, for the mouse began to tear and
bite inside the mans throat and chest, and
the result was that the unfortunate fellow
died, after, little time, in horrible agony
Several witnesses corroborated the above
facts, and medical testimony as to the cause
of death having been given, a verdict o.
accidental death" was returned.
