The army worm is more numerous in this
county than was last week reported. Inaddition
to the destruction Of crops upon the farms Of
Mr.. David Engar and Mr.. Hezekiah Bower
sox, in Wakefield Valley, then noted, we have
since learned that the crops on the farms of
Mr., David Roop and Mr.. Joseph Stouffer, in
the same neighborhood, have also been con.
sideraby damaged. In the vicinity Of Union
Bridge 1t has been very destructive. 1t has
been stated that the worm does not attack
clover, but u gentleman who brought us some
army worms a few days ago, says they will
destroy 1t as well as wheat, corn or timothy
Ia the Eighth Annual Report on the Nox
ious, Beneficial and other Insects of Mis-.
souri,, Prot. c. V. Riley has an exhaustive
article on the army worm, from which we ex.
tract the following summary of what is known
about this insect:
THE army worm comes from buff colored
moth having conspicuous white speck about
the middle Of each Of the front wings. This
moth hAunts our fields from the middle Of
June till winter. Those which issue early in
the season probably lay their eggs in fall,
while those which issue later hibernate and
lay their eggs in spring. The eggs are most
probably laid on mature grass and grain stalks,
whether cut and in stack or standing. They
are either inserted between the stalk and
sheath, or attached ia rows along the stalk.
The worms, when not excessive, numerous,
hide during the day and are seldom noticed.
In years Of great abundance they are also
generally unnohced during their early life.
The earliest acquire full growth and commence
TO travel in armies and to devastate our fields
and attract attention about the time that win.
ter wheat is in the milk. They soon after.
wards descend into the ground, and thus sud.
denly disappear To issue again two or three
weeks later as moths. The bulk Of the worms
become moths in this latitude the same sea.
son, bat n few probably hibernate in the pupa
state below ground, and the proportion Of
these increases as we go north. There is but
one generation annually. The worms abound
during wet spring preceded by one or more
very dry years. They are preyed upon by
numerous enemies, which so efectually check
their Increase during years Of great muldpli
cation that two great army worm years have
never followed each other, and are not likely
TO do SO. They may be prevented from in.
yading field by judieious ditching, and burn
ing over a field in winter or early spring ef.
iectually prevents their Matching in such
fields

There has been q number Of robberies in
TINS place within the past few days, which has
caused good deal Of excitement among some
OF the people. On last Friday night some
unknown person effected an entrance into the
millinery establishment kept by Miss Jennie
hidgeey, aud secured about fourteen dollars
IN money. Mr.. Oliver Murray had some
meat stolen from his cellar a few nights since.
On Monday night, while Mr.. Blizzard, who
Keeps hosel in this place, was absent for a

and secured small amount of money and a
revolver valued at seven dollars, and success

The same evening a Miss Smith, residing
about three miles from this place, was out
ragged near her fathers residence by some un.
known man, who after be had accomplished
his dastardly act, made good his escape aud
thus far has eluded the pursuit Of the officers
aud Iciizens. She is the daughter Of a
respectable German shoemaker. From in
formation since received, there seems TO be
some doubt about this outrage.
