CoMING.-The yidettes or skirmishers of
the grand army Of potatoe bugs have al
ready been thrown out, to ascertain the To-
calities where the general attacks ere to be
made We have seen them with heads
erect, ears thrown back, with distended
nosrls, and baetul fire IN their eyes, sit
ting near crack in the ground, watching
and waiting for the young potato, ready
to pouncc upon it and eagerly sucking the
young sap and devouring the yonng leaves
with as much gusto us lynx will suck the
blood Of a young chicken. Soon the adj
vance guard will follow these skirmishers
followed by the grand army itself, when
great battles will be fought again, the bat
tie cry of the bugs will be "IIo for pota-
toes and that of the allies the same as it
was in'1S15 and 1S71.-"IIo! for Paris"

The Anniversary of the Lutheran Mite
Society which was celebrated on the 9TH
inst, by some mishap was not noticed in
our last issue as we intended. The atten-
dance of members and others on this occa-
sion was good, nearly filling the audience
chamber Of the church. After the intro
ductory music, q prayer was offered by
Rcy. Summers after which RcY. W. c
Wire by request, read the annual report fol
the Sec from which we learn that the So
cic,y numbers los members expended
SOL G, collected $8710, has yet on books
uncolcctcd dues about SIG.
Rev. S W. Owen of IIa.erstown was
then introduced and made an excellent and
interesting address upon Womans Mis-
sion.
The Society has been most successful, ii
had exceeded the cxpections of It's most
hopeful members, and in a social and intel
lcctual respect it has been very attractive
This is : most laudable enterprise aHt
deserves tho sympathy it has received -

SERIOUS RUNAWAY ACCIDENT " ester
day morning Mr. a W, Smith Of TINS

wagon, having with him his little boy
Charley, Il lad Of about six years When
beginning to descend the mountain three
miles east Of town, the shafts OF the wagon
became detached on one side, and the
horse started to run. Mr. Smith mmcii.
atcly pitched his little son out on the turn
pike with the view of saving him from in
jury, but just at this moment the wagon
upset and the horse turned round, catch
ing both Mr.. Smith and his son beneath it
and dragging them short distance. Lit
tie Charley was caught by the hub Of the
wagon wheel and very seriously hurt. Mr..
Alfred Ritter and DR.. J. Williamson, Of
Frederick, happening to come along in a
buggy, took the little boy in and brought
him home where he was attended by Dr.
Will. G. Botclcr who dressed his wounds,
which consisted Of long and deep cash
on the forehead, four other scyG.c wounds
on the head and bruises on the back. He
is thought to be in a critical condition, but
we go to press before learning the physi-
clans view Of the case. Mr. Smith was al
so considerably bruised about the body and
legs, but not seriously hurt, and rode his
horse home The wagon was badly bro
