Craryville, June IA, 1877.

THE COLORADO BEETLE. to this pest, Prof. c. V. Riley, State Entomol- ogist of Missouri in his report writes as fol-, lows:
 The extended and increasing interest in this insect, as it spreads eastward, renders any additional information always desira- ble. It seems to have an irresistible pro- pensity to push its progress eastward. When it reached the seashore it was not satisfied to stop there. Great quantities of the beetles were seen on Long Island Sound by gentlemen engaged in fishing, covering the surface of the water as far as the eye could reach. Every floating article as we'll as the water was packed with them, and many were clinging to eel-grass and sea-weed under the water. The wind was blowing from the south, and waiting them toward the Connecticut shore. Several years ago, they were found to travel in the Western States toward the east at the rate of fifty miles yearly; more recently their annual progress has been aa miles. The rate has not been uniform. They have moved most rapidly along the lines of the railways, being helped on doubtless by the conveyance of merchandise. They have now spread over au area of nearly 1,5OO, : 900 square miles. They have travelled 1900 miles since 1869, and now occupy 25 states to greater or less extent. A thor ough knowledge of the habits of this sin gle species IS sufficient importance to show that the ''Science of Bugs," once desplsed, is of preeminent value.
 The appearance of a single living speci- men on the dock at Bremen iu a cargo from New York, produced more excite ment and attention than would have re. suited from the arrival of the President of the United States. Prof. Riley made spe- cial inquiry through the German Consul at New York. and by the assistance of Prof. Buchenau of Bremen, obtalned every assu- rance of the fact, proving that the beetles could easily survive the voyage. Circulars representing and describing the insect, that the immediate destruction of any insects may be effected by any who should find any stragglers, have been extensively cir culated and posted, both in England and Germany. .s....... .5.
 Paris green remains the only efficient and reliable remedy.

Norfolk Green. ."-Old Norfolk IS now

Norfolk Green. ."-Old Norfolk IS now in the height of it's beauty. A stroll which we took around and through the park, (they modestly call it simply "The Green.'D last Saturday was certainly very pleasant in deed. The large and very fine soldie 8 monument, and which is credit to the good old town, stands almost buried from sight in the dense foliage of the forest of trees in the enclosure. The beautiful lawn kept neatly trimmed by the mowers; the chorus of bird songsters, whose notes filled the air with their melody, and the re- freshing shade must every day invite many to the enjoyment to be found there, "with- out money and without price," Such parks ought to be found mo:e frequently in the smaller villages ln the New England states. The slight capital and small amount of labor required, is almost infin- ltesimal in comparison to the vast amount of comfort they bring to the inhabitants. to say nothing of their adding to the beauty of village.
 Fortunately located around and about this Norfolk ''Green," are the residences Of some of the prominent citizens of the town. The Hon. Robbins BattelIs mansion is one of the finest in the county, almost every thing that wealth and refinement can sug- gest has been done to make it and it's sur soundings pleasant and attractive. Quite as much can be said of the home of the family of the late Rev. Dr. Eldridge. Here elegance and refinement are manifest in ev- erything about the place. The garden near the house is especially beautiful. the taste displayed in It's arrangement being most excellent; the flowers, the terraced en. trance with it's marble steps. and the back ground of Norway spruce grown so closely together and intertwlned into fine hedge, combine to make the effect very attractive. The late Dr. Edrldge was indeed one ot the ''salt ot the earth" and we are glad to see his earthly home SO pleasant; so suggest i've ot the perfect peace, love and purity that reigned supreme in bis breast; and we hope it will grow more and more beautiful continually. The venerable old church within whose sacred walls the lamenteG preacher spoke his words of comfort to his flock for so many years,-we had almos said, so many generations; as si- lent monument of past events; and to those who for many years past have worshippet there, reminder of the scenes and incl dents with which the loved pastor was as- sociated. The front doors have beer somewhat improved in appearance of lat by the erection of new porches, and some needed repairs, restoring all to a good con dition. The new bell and tower clock ar
 valuable acquisitions, and are, what (th
 tower clock especially,) should be erected and kept in accurate condition for time, Il all villages. There are other fine residence
 around and near the 'Green," but our ar ticle is already sufficiently long. . Norfolk is one of the substantial anG
