Anew Pest to the Corn.

The Hartford Times of Aug. 80 says:
"The Meriden correspondent. of the
Times sends us samples of ears of corn,
taken from field in that vicinity, which
have been ruined by devouring pest,
and with them samples of the bug which
does the mischief. 1t is good-sized
six-legged, evil-looking bug, rather
larger and much flatter than the potato
bug; in color brown, and having
wide body and very small head, the lat
ter provided with pair of mall anten-
nae, or 'feelers.' The creature begins
his ravages at the tip-end of the ear of
corn, and devours the kernels as he
works onward towards the butt-leav-
ing in his track only dirty mess of
brown husks of the separate kernels,
after having devoured the substance.
Our correspondent in Burlington, To-
cality perhaps II or 15 miles northwest
of Meriden, sends US an account of the
alarming ravages of new pest there,
which may be this same creature. Our
Burlington correspondent says fields of
corn are ruined almost in single day,
and, further, that acres of grass land
will suddenly turn brown and dead, and
the turf itself can he raked off-the roots
having all been cut by the ravages of
something which the Burlington farm
ers believe to be the same bug that ruins
the corn -

The Howard Association, which is so no.
bly, doing its best to alleviate the misery Of
the yellow fever scourge, is an organization
which was formed at New Orleans during
the prevalence of the same plague in 1858.
II took its name from the famous English
philanthropist, John Howard, and it is
society permanently established to provide
nurses, medical treatment and provisions for
sufferers by yellow fever. 1t has spread to
all places liable to its terrible visitations.
Like the Sisters of Mercy, its members sink
individuality in the name of the association,
and they are whole -souled men, pledged to
stand shoulder to shoulder in devoting their
own time and means and the contributions
Of the charitable to relieving those whom
panic-stricken community hastens to desert.
Bishop McCoskrey, formerly of Milwau-
kee, has been formally deposed from the
ministry by action of the Episcopal House of
Bishops, his refusal or neglect to appear
and answer the damaging charges pending
against him being deemed tacit admission
of his guilt.
Gen. Butler has made engagements to
speak at indianapolis on the Goth and at

The Great Brule Country.

The Chicago correspondent of the
Troy Times writes: Sc If you will take
Government surveyors map and trace
the boundary line between the States of
Michigan and Wisconsin at the extreme
northerly part of those States, you will
see Boot Lake, which is near the source
of the Brule River, and located in what
is known as the trackless forests of the
great Brule country. This morning a
party of ladies and gentlemen, mostly
from this city, will leave here for that
wild country for a months recreation.
1t is said to be one of the most inacces-
sible portions of country in the center
of our Continent, and that the face of
white woman has never been seen there.
To show the spirit of adventure which
animates the ladies of the party, it should
be known that after proceeding by reg
ular rail to Menominee, thence by
mining railroad to Bad Water, from that
point the entire party will be compelled
to walk twelve miles through the dense
forests before they strike the Brule Riv-
er. Here they will be taken in charge
by Indians who are engaged as voy-
ageurs, guides, ETC., and in canoes will
proceed up the river some two hundred
miles. The forests along the route are
mostly composed of pine, very thickly
studded, and great fire having at some
time swept through the district covering
hundreds of square miles, the ground is
so strewn with fallen trees and entangled
debris that it is almost impossible to get
beast of burden through, and much of
the way even an Indian finds it difficult
to proceed on foot. A more desolate
country it would be hard to find. But "a
long way up the Brule the country opens
