The West Chester Railroad Sold.

The project of Colonel Fl. 5. McComb of
Wilmington, to complete the new railroad
from Baltimore to Philadelphia by the pur-
chase of a controlling interest in the Phila-
delphia & West Chester road has fallen
through. The idea was to build line from
Swathmore, on the West Chester road, to
Wilmington, from which point the Will
minston & Western road is completed to
Newark to Baltimore. Negotiations were
opened with the directors of the West Ches-
ter railroad, and an offer was made to take
two-thirQs of the stock at par. While the
proposition was being considered, II third
party stepped in. the Fhilada., vii. X Halt.
Company, and made a more advantageous
offer, which was accepted. This Company
proposed to buy all the stock and guarantee
the bonded Indebtedness of the road The
directors of the West Chester road held Il
meeting last Tuesday and officially accepted
the offer, which kills one of the plans of the
projectors of the competing line to Iialti-
more, about which there has been So much
talk. The capital stock of the West Chester
road is SS2l 900, and is limited by law to
81: 200, 900, the funded debt is 81, 100, 600 and
the floating debt S62 ,5l2. The road cost up
to 1880, 81, 1862, the cost of equipment
being $500, 30. The road is IL little over 90
miles il length and has nine stations. The
rolling stock consists or Ten locomotives,
twenty passenger cars and eighty freight
cars.

A Remedy for the Potato Bug.

A correspondent sends us the following
letter in reference to this subject, which we
publish for the benefit of our readers. The
remedy is much cheaper than Paris green,
and is worth trial:
NJ. TorbeH:-As the potato bugs seem to
be gathering very numerously this season,
l will, by this means, give You the result of
a little experiment l tried for their eXter-
mination. l saturated Il peck of wood ashes
(probably coal ashes would do) with a quart
of coal oil, costing three cents; then sprin-
klel small portion of the mixture over the
potato plants. The result was, that the
bugs made Il rapid retreat, without any in
jury to the vines. Since | used this pre-
ventive much smaller number have shown
themselves in my small patch. Should you
have potatoes growing, try the plan your
self If it proves successful, then, for the
benefit of your readers, you can make the
announcement The reason why | was in
duced to try coal oil, was, that l had for
years back been killing the caterpillars by
means of a few feathers fastened to the end
of stick, which l dipped into the coal oil
and sprinkled on their nest, thus suddenly
killinp them

years was engaged in milwrightingin Cecil,

many hundreds of thousands of dollars,
there never were any written articles of
agreement between the member of the firm,

False Economy,

Economy is a good thing. Everybody
should learn to practice it, But some
folks have very erroneous ideas as to
what economy is. Some people will
spend half an hour in trying to beat
down laborer twenty-five cents on q
small job, but afterward go and throw
away ten times that amount ON some use
less article or =eit=indulgencc. Others
employ certain class of laborers because
they work cheap; apparently totally
ignorant that they will waste or carry
of several times tho amount Of the diff
ference between them and first-class
l,LorcrS. y case of this false economy
came to my knowledge lately, i CON
t!eman, with an eye to SAVING; expense.

Messrs. Strawbridse & Clothcr include
the incorporation Of twelve distinct build

the firm started business in their present
location, in 1868, the two former altera-
tons including seven stores on Market

EFFECT OF THE DROCTH,


Notwithstanding the fervency of the
prayers for rain and the frequent prog
nostications and indications, the whole
country around here remains as dry and
duStyaS ever. Our farmers will be great
/ sufferers from the drouth in slortness OF
the grass crop. Nearly all of them hav.
had to replant their corn, the first plant.
No doubt at the proper time We will I'll

friends had his fine paid and was re-
leased, but the other was sent to the

possible, when again at liberty, restrain
himself. Both are good workmen and
it is pity that they should SO demean
themselves.
