A Maryland farmer is making money
out of an enormous crop of potato bugs.
Being opposed to the use OF paris green.
he rugged up IL large washboilcr in his
field. and hiring six men, collected the
bugs and soused them in boiling water.
About two gallons were collected, and by
accident a piece of old sheep-skn leather,
used for lining shoes. went into the mess.
Alter the cooking had been going on for
half an hour he was astonished to find that
the leather had changed lis color to the
richest dark crimson. This arousing his
curiosity. he inserted other materials. and
discovered another peculiarly of the

The latest agricultural invention is q
machine recently invented in England for
the purpose of drying hay by hot air. A
contrivance of this kind would be of much
more service in that country than in this.
where the number of rainy DAYS is much
less and the risk of haymaking proper
tionately smaller. Still, as it is shown
that hay can be made by machine at n saw
ing OF twenty per cent, on the cost of max
ing il the usual way. even allowing the
best OF weather. there is no reason why
the invention could not be usetuly intro
duced into our American meadows.

WINTER on THE SUMMIT.

From the top Of Mt. Washington comes
a story about cold weather Early last
Sunday morning, frost began to form on
the rocks and woodwork. where exposed
to the wind. The largest frost feather
we're found on the top of the tower and
were about six inches long. Later the
clouds settled on tn. mountain and moth
ing could be seen the rest Of the day.
The highest and lowest temperatures for
the day were 50 and % and the wind
reached velocity Of - miles
The most intense cold came with the
breaking away OF the storm, Monday
morning, when the thermometer fell 10
81, the lowest point recorded this season.
The frost had cont lued to gather through
the night, until every exposed surface
was white with beautiful formations. On
the tower was found a perfect feather
twerty inches long. while those foot or
so in length were plenty. Telegraph
wires appeared like clothes lines, and a
general transformation had been effected.
Nothing could have given the mountain a
more wintry appearance. and those who
have never seen the Summit in its full
winter costume could get an excellent
idea Of its appearance in the colder months.
At 9 A. NJ. there was a splendid view
Of the clouds below the Summit, nearly
all of them afterwards passing over and
revealing a scene Of unusual beauty. The
atmosphere to the coast was perfectly
clear, and the ocean was seen from the
Isles Of Shoals to point eastward Of
Portland. A ship was plainly seen by
parties on the Summit, without the use
of a glass, and every lake and pond in the
eastern landscape was brought out with
unusual distinctness. The records Of the
signal station show that the "cold snap
for his time in the month, is without
parallel for duration and severity. Last
August the thermometer fell 10 26 for a
short time. on the morning Of the 18th,
just after storm, and ice was formed.
but no frost, the weather soon modcrat-
ing. The only lower temperatures re-
corded IN August are 20 degrees, on the
2lsi. in 1876, and u. on the 2iIh, in 1873
both about a week later than the pre-
sent time.

A Wild Cat Killed bya Waman.


A few nights ago Mrs. Parish, the
wife of W. I. Parish the we'll known
teahster of Dayton, heard a com
motion in her chicken house, which
is close to the stable.
Going out to see what the matter
was she discovered, that a large wild
cat was killing the chickens. A
great many men, coming unex
pectedly upon wild cat at night
would have pressing business at
a distance which would call them
away. Not so with Mrs. Parish
who being possessed of extraordina-
ry courage for a woman, seized a
pitchfork, which was the nearest
weapon, and stood ready for the
attack. The wild cat already in
famed by the taste of blood, sprang
towards her, and was impaled on
the tines of the fork. A desperate
struggle ensued for a short time,
but Mrs. Parish with great nerve
held the cat to the ground, until
it became exhausted by its stsuggle,
and was easily killed.

day evening, TO witness and partici-
pate in the spelling match, each con-
fid"nt n carrying away the SIS. Miss
Minnie Leslie and John Powell, Jr.,
Of Dayton, and Mills Van Wagenen,
of this city, were chosen 20 act as
judges. The entertainment ~as
opened by song, Whistle and
Hoe" by number of boys. Albert
Harris then entertained the audience
with a recitation" Roger and L."
THIS was recited extraordinarily we'll,
and was appreciated by most of those
present, though they were somewhat
annoyed by the laughter of those
whose appreciation could extend no
further than the ludicrous.
The written contest then took place

enees, bonny.clabber.
While the judges were looking
over the papers, q fre-alarm was
sounded, which caused a general
STAN pede. Having ascertained that
it was only chimney burning. the
audience soon re-assembled, when
the judges announced that Charles
Rothschilds and Harry Rulisnn had
tied for the prize, each having spelled
correctly seventeen words out of the
list. The young men divided the
money. Hettie Guild then sung
Katy's Letter. very nicely, although
che had bad cold. An oral con-
test was next IN order, and, at the
request of the ladies, the gentlemen
took one side while they took the
other. After the ladies ruled out
Profs. Casebeer, of Sutro, and Van
Wagenen, of Silver, from among the
spoilers, the fun commenced. 1t
was spirited contest, and resulted
ip two ladies and one gentleman hsv-
ing the field to themselves. Their
triumph, however, was short-lived,
as they all tripped on the word Seal
lus," The judges decided the match
"draw game" The whole enter
tainment was very enjoyable af-
