"A simple remedy for the Colorado
b eetle and the common potato bug is
recO mmendcd in an exchange, and is
SO simple and inexpensive that farmers
might well give il a trial. Put a few
gallons OF gas-tar into barrel, and add
water to it. When the bugs appear,
give them liberal sprinkling with the
tar water. If the rain washes it off,
repeat the dose. 1t is said that this
will cause the bugs TO retire from the
premises altogether.

The Choral Society concert at Ne
gus's Hall, next Monday evening, offers
for the leading number on the pro-
grammc Handcfs Tc Deum, usually
called the "Dcttingen' re Deum, from
its having been originally written to
celebrate the victory of George the Sec,
ond at Dettingen in 1743. The TIE
Deum is universally considered the
grandest hymn of Christendom, aud the
music by Handel, the greatest composer
of choral music who has ever lived, is
worthy of the sublime words. In the
second part of the programme the col
lege quartette and other members of the
society, representing the best musical
talent of the place, will take part in
miscellaneous instrumental and vocal
selections.
Mrs. Nancy Sherman, who lives
down near the old papermill bridge,
was arrested last Monday for cruelty
beating her daughter, little girl
thirteen years old. She ran away to
Vergennes afoot a few days before and
sought protection at the Reform school.
Deputy Sheriff Rider was notified and
went up after her, but found her very
unwilling to return. She was badly
bruised and cut up by her gentle moth
Ell. Mrs. Sherman was brought up on
charge of assault and fined, with the
alternative of seventy-four days in the
work-house of Rutland. AS she would
not pay, she was taken to that institu-
ton Tuesday. The girl was sent back
TO the Reform school to be taken care
of, and her little brother was taken to
the town farm.
Last Tuesday Charles NJ. Reinele
found hanging to fence on his fathers
premises, two of the small children's
toy balloons tied together and with a
business card attached. The card is
that of "Geo. Scharbach, wholesale and
retail dealer in foreign and domestic ci-
CARS and choice tobaccos, smokers arti-
cles, &c, also wines, liquors, Toledo
and Cincinnati lager, Main street, Lit
tie Falls, N. y" The card is not halt
as nice job as Mr.. Scharbach could
have got printed at the Register job of
fee. Whether he is taking this mode
of advertising his business, or whether
he only sent up one card "for the fun Of
it," the little balloons performed quite
a journey before they lost their floating
pONClS. my NtIC SDiIltN llul
by the SIMS heat, which may be tho
reason the gas escaped from them.

e'toady columns" had long and full
some notice of Hon. Joseph Battell ant
his various enterprises, which, Will,
true and just, presents startling con
trast to the little puils which the paper
used to give him last iall, when no false
hood was too mean and vile for ii tt
endeavor to fasten upon Mr.. Battell
But notwithstanding his presen
"toadyism" is for a purpose, just a
much as his former ISLANDERS, il is We
something of satisfaction to have til,
News man brought to say, as he does
sit was not necessary for ms TO see thi
public spirited citizen to see what
work he is doing for the public, an,
we wish Vermont had more such men.
