The Cabbage Butterfly. persons
are aware that one butterfly will lay
hundreds of eggs, and the following facts
and incident regarding this pest will, we
think, be of interest to our readers.
There are several insects known to
entomologists by this name, three of
which-the large whiteLthe smaller
white-and the green veined white are
common to Great Britain and fourth
more common in many parts of New
England and introduced from Europe is
yellow with two black spots on the for
ward wings and one on the hinder wings.
The one more common to this region
and so hurtful to our eabbages is proba-
bly, the small white British with expanse
of wings about inches, while the large
white British has eXpanse of wings q
or 3 inches. The wings of both are
spotted with black. The female of the
large white lays cone-shaped eggs 20 or
80 in cluster, and the caterpillars COM
ing forth are very voracious eating
twice their weight of cabbage leaf in "a
llOulS' lHSy ilOWSNSI Ohly SlIlp In6
leaves, while the one troubling us brings
forth from its circular eggs caterpillars
which make straight for the heart of the
cabbage and thus ruin the whole head
In addition to this our now acclimatized
butterfly lays large quantities of eggs,
the general plan being as with the others
to lay them on the leaves of cabbages.
One was however observed by lady in
town here last week laying eggs on a
twig and it kept on till dark before stop
ping. The twig was then examined and
found to have 8 inches covered with 4
rows of eggs 80 to the inch in each row
or600 in all and then nearly : of this
space doubled over as the end of the
twig was reached, so that about 1000
eggs had been laid. The best way to
fight the pests is TO let small birds stay

Is it SOP - The Harrisburg Potriot
says: Grangerism is said to be on the
decline in different sections of the State.
The rise and spread of the Patrons of
Husbandry'' was really wonderful. In
very short time thousands of oranges
were organized throughout the Union
and the membership aggregated hun
dreds of thousands. 1t was power in
the northwest, where it carried all be-
fore it. Candidates for office were swept
along with the tide, and even governors
connived at questionable legislation to
gain its influence. All this is over
Starting out as an organization entirely
freed from politics, it was nevertheless
captured by the politicians; in fact, too
much politics did the work, and the
grange is only another instance of an
untimely death at the hands of the poli-
ticians,

Sudden Death.-The citizens of Carlisle
were deeply shocked on Monday morn
ing at the announcement that William
II. Miller, leading attorney of the Car
Isle bar, had been smitten suddenly with
paralysis. The circumstances were SUBJ
stantially as follows: Mr.. Miller had
been in the full enjoyment of his usual
health for considerable time past, and
had spent the Sabbath in his accustom-
ed manner. He gave no evidence of
sickness or prostration when he retired
to rest on Sabbath evening. But upon
waking this (Monday) morning, about
half past five O'Clock, he at once COM
planned of feeling sick, and was induced
to remain in bed. About six o'clock he
attempted to rise and was Immediately
smitben down with paralysis of the brain
and remained in an utterly helpless and
unconscious condition until his death,
which occurred at eleven O'Clock and
six hours after the stroke.
Mr.. Miller has left the partner of his
laborious but prosperous life, to mourn
his sudden and untimely death. But he
has left her not only an ample compe-
tence for life, but what is of inestima-
bly, more value, the record of blame
less and honorable career Carlisle Vol

Iunlata County.-We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week.
On Tuesday afternoon q house and
barn belonging to Mr.. G. r. Richards,
situate In Turbett township, were totally
destroyed by fire. The fire originated
in the barn, and strong west wind
prevailing at the time, drove the flames
toward the house, which was only q
short distance away. Sparks entered the
house through an open window, setting
fire to q bed, on which two children
were sleeping, and it was with great
difficulty that they were rescued by the
mother. Only q few minutes elapsed
after the house was discovered to be on
fire until it was wrapped in flames, and
but few things were saved, the inmates
only saving the wearing apparel which
they had on at the time. A Mr.. Trego,
brother of Mrs. Richards, who was
visiting there, lost all his clothing and
S23 in money. Two hogs perished in
the fire, together with all his household
furniture. Mr.. Richard is absent from
home. and we have not learned the
extent of his loss, but he had his proper
ty insured to the amount of 5000. 1t is
not known how the fire originated

><Sad Drowning Case.-On Saturday morn
ing little son of B. M. Eby and Frank,
little son of Rev. Kretzing, aged about
years, got OH small raft at Cooks
saw mill at Newport, and while playing
the son of Mr.. Kretzing reached for
twig that came floating down the canal
and lost his balance. The other lad did
not give the alarm till his playmate had
sunk several times and then finding he
did not get out, ran to the mill and told
the men. They at once went to his
assistance but he had sunk and it was
fifteen or twenty minutes before the
body was found. Mr.. Kretzing and his
wife were both absent at the time, but
Mr.. X. reached home about the time the
corpse of his little son was brought in.
Fun in Newport. Saturday after
noon, two chaps drove into the square
at Newport, and calling small party
around them began business by one stat
ing that he was there for the purpose of
skinning" that crowd. He then of
fered for sale two bill for $1.25, and as
the bill was good that was clear profit
to the purchaser of 75 cents. He then sold
the .25 for S 1; the 81 for 75cts.and so on,
till he sold the last quarter for ten cents,
which he threw into the crowd He
then offered sleeve buttons for sale at
dollar pair, saying they were worth 81
per dozen, but as he was going to give
the money back, it made no difference.
He sold some, and then put up chains,
selling few and giving the money back
each time. He then took up another
lot and said, now the price this time is
So and the man who is the most liberal
will fare the best. The stamps were
passed up to him till he had nearly $40,
some having given over So to show their
liberality" or greenness.
The man then held up the money,
said it was not much of pile, but still
it was better than nothing, and he
thought he would keep it, and showing
it in his pocket he drove out of town.
Some of investors will in future think
that tobacco selling, insurance business,
and hotel keeping are really more profit
able then dealing in jewelry. The chaps
afterwards came to this town, but must
have thought the crowd on the square
was too sharp to get bit, and drove to-
ward Carlisle.

papers of last week:
A two-year old son of Mr.. James M.
Smith, of the Second ward, was badly

Mite Society at their festival. Upon en-
tering Mr.. Peffer's premises three dogs
attacked her, one biting her on the foot
and causing an ugly wound while the
others tore her clothing. Prompt assist

Government Signal Statons.-B. f. War
ron, civil engineer, of Philadelphia, is
traversing the high mountains above
Millerstown, Perry county, for the pur-
pose of establishing a signal station in
that neighborhood, to form the last one
of triangle of signals; the other two
are on the top of the mountain below
Dauphin, nine miles north of this city,
and at Doubling Gap, Perry county.
After climbing the SUBMITS of Slaugh-
terbeck and Auber's hills, above Millers-
town, they were not satisfied with either
one, and on Saturday crossed the Juniata
and travelled over the Tuscarora until
they reached high bluff, about four
miles from the river, on which they
have partially concluded to fix signal.
From this point the other stations men
toned can be seen, as well as one on q
very high mountainsin Adams county.
The gentlemen are sent out by the Uni
ted States coast survey, and are under
the direction of the United States gov
ernmeDt. The object is to secure data
from which the geological survey being
made in this state can complete their
labors. From these stations it is intend
ed to get accurate air line measurements,
and thereby assist in making up an ac-
curate map of the state.-Patriot.
