our editions were entirely sold, and a large number more were desired, except that of Friday, when we printed very large edi- tion, and have now few copies left. It WAS our design to have sent the DAILY to our exchanges, as we'll as to few friends, but this we were entirely unable to do. This first year is an experiment with us. Next camp meeting if we are permitted to make DAILY for it, we shall know better how to do it, shall be prepared for larger editions, and hope to make better paper every way.
 Cabbage Worms Nov is the time of the protection of cabbage, if it IS effective, is valuable more than at another season. An old farmer. whose three score and ten years experience is worth listening to-, tells us he has discovered process that he says will surely rid the vegetable life of the pest. His plan is very simple; is. in fact, to simply sprinkle the heads of cab bage with rye flour in the morning wben it IS moist with dew, gently bending open SA@O flour down upon the forming head below. He says the worms, in working amongst the cabbage, will besmear themselves with the mOistened flour, and it's adhesiveness will so confuse and annoy them they will leave the cabbage. While it is not known that 1t will actually kill or destroy the worm, 1t certainly causes him to seek " fields and pastures new" The process is cheap and easily tried. and the possibility of it's proving effective is worth the effort

 salisbury.-In consequence of the camp meeting, and lawsuit at Falls Village be- tween two of our citizens, the stores and hotels of the village have presented some what deserted appearance during the past week. Lawsuits here are conducted on such an extensive scale that nearly the whole community becomes in one way or another involved in them, and court trial never fails to draw an eager throng of spectators. It is hoped that the conclusion of the present suit may terminate the long series of litigation between the contestants. ......That camp meeting was largely attend ed by residents of this section is apparent from the fact that two hundred carriages passing given point in our street within two hours after the close of the Sunday af- ternoon services. ..... Carpenter Daniels, with a few friends, are camping out on top of Canaan mountain.

 West Cornwall.-On Tuesday evening, 21, Father Pierce gave an Old Folks con- cert in the Village Hall. for the benefit of of the "W. c. M. Association.

One of the singers called loudly for little farm and little wife; another caled for large farm anc large wife. A third called for farm, and tired to say no wife at all, but his heart smote him as he gazed about the room and thought of such fate, and he ceased to murmur. "A Jolly Good Laugh" by Father Pierce with the assistance of E.. H.. Dean. :'Cousin Reuben" was quite con- ical and was loudly applauded. The mu- sical talent was there to hear the new band play. Do not think Arbuckle or Levy were in the crowd, but some say that Rich ard was there himself, while others say that it was not Richard himself. That ended up the entertainment of the evening.
