''In accordance with the sentiment of the

adopted as the exponent of true Republi-
canism, and we will labor zeal0usly to

fare for the round trip is very low and the
prospects are that there will be a large
crowd. Ample provisions have been
made to accommodate the crowd,
no matter how large. Plenty
Of cars have boen secured and the
train will be run right through. On the
island there will be singing by the society,
the members Of which meet tonight for
rehearsal. An orchestra accompanies

QUARRYvILLE, Pa. Aug. Is, 1882.
EDS. lNTELLIGENCER: 1 send you this
morning q worm " a. is . wOrm." 1t was
arrested without warrant your vigilant
policeman LOry Sutor. Please hand it
over to our friend Prof. Rathvon, and II
it is anything unusual, hope ho will en-
tighten your many readers in this place.
Yours, l.. T. HENsEL.
The worm was taken, as requested, to
DIR. Rathvon, tho enrOmOlOsist, who thus
describes it
Your worm is the EIrva Of the Dry0-
campa imperialis, or Imperial walnut
moth. Its color is light green with six
black spines on each segment Jf the body.
On the first and second segments there aIs
four large spines ON each, orange cOlOrOd,
tipped with black. Tho face is yellow
with whitish diagonal maculatiOns ON each
side. The length of the worm is from
four to five inches when at rest,
but it is capable of being extended nearly
six inches. In appearance it is very for
midable, but 10 totally harmless. This
subject il now nearly mature, and tho
next move would be to burrow in the
ground, change into . dark brown chrysa-
lis, remain in that condition until next
June, and then evoke beautiful largo
moth expanding from four to five inches
from tip to tip Of the wings, and Of orange,
rcd and gray C0l0rs.
"The worm is usually found on different
kinds of walnut and hickory trees, and in
perhaps tho largest of our North Ameri-
can species. They never occur In large
numbers, coniino themselvo principally to
the trees named, and are therefore not re-
garded As particularly noxious, although
they possess the possibilities Of all vego-
table feeders.
81 send you two specimens Of the Dryo
eampa 1egalis, Or Regal Walnut Moth
brought mo by Mr.. ]. A. Shober, which
he took from = 'DutcE-nut' tree at his
paper mill. H."
The worms sent in by MIR. ShObcr arc
very similar in appearance to the one sent
by Mr.. Hsnsel, though they arc not much
moro than half as largo and are Of . yol-
lOwish green color. r.s

berry, aud Dick Little. Little snys lie is

Of the gang.
Capture Of PonDsyIvania Shop -liitcrs.

A stalwart Candidate Challenged.

N. Y. Herald.
IfGeneral Beaver, who is MIR. CamerOn's 8
candidate for Governor in Pennsylvania,
shall have the courage to accept the chal-
lengc of Mr.. Stewart, the Independent Re-
publican nominee, to stump the State with
him and discuss face to face with the peO-
pie the issues of the canvass, an unusually
interesting and spirited campaign may be
expected in that State. 1t would bc a
great mistake on General Beavers part to
decline. Boss rule is on trial in Pennsyl-
vania. The representative of those who
are opposed to it has called it to the bar of
public opinion. If it refuses TO put in an
appearance the voters will accept the fact
as confession of judgment, and in all
probability leave General Beaver at home.

IL S1nktDg--SCones of Terror
and Confusion.
A slight accident to tho excursion
steamer Thomas Clyde plying between
Philadelphia and Bombay Hook, sixty
miles down the Delaware, created tho
widest panic among the GOO or 700 pas
scnycrs. The cxcursiOnists thought that
a boiler had burst, and that only a matter
Of a few moments separated them from the
bottom of the river. The actual damage,
Of which the origin is unknown,
was confined entirely to her machinery.
The crOss-hcad was found to have
been knocked away, tho piston rod was
irrctricvably twisted, and it was thought
that the cylinder was cracked. The cause
of the breakdown was not known. There
was not q particle Of danger of tho steamer
sinking, but Immediately after it became
known that an accident had happened, a
pcll-mell ush was made for the life prcscrv-
ers, tho men impclled only by tho thought
of self preservation, crowding like mad,
pushing aside terrified women and chill
drcn, aud after strappins tho life savers
about their persons, grecdily grasping two
OF three each, and hanging Ou to them
with d"a:h grip. Several Of tho excur-
sionists attempted to jump overheard, but
were restrained by tho strong hands OF
tho crew. Three women foil to the deck
in dead faint. All tho passengers were
safely got off by tho steamer John A.
Warner that promptly came to the rescue
in response to the Clyde's signals of dis
tress. The disabled vessel was tOwed to
Wilmington for repairs.

Early in the afternoon four large 'busscs
wero taken out to the hospital to haul

Mr.. JAMES III. HOPKINS in recent
interview expressed the greatest admira
tiOn for the character and capacity of
the Democratic candidate for governor,
as they have been signally proven in his
discharge of the responsible duties of the
Office he now fills. We need not be sur
prised al the high estimate of Mr.. Patti
sons fitness for the gubernatoriaI chair,
coming from such source for Mr..
Hopkins is a gentleman whose jidgnle mt
and justice are not often to he CHALLENGED
in matters of this kind. There is no
good reason visible, however, for the low
estimate which Mr.. Hopkins places upon
the vote likely to te polled for Pattison,
even though the figures as he forecasts
them do leave our candidate with the
comfortable margin of $1,000 votes
ahead of his Stalwart competitor. The
vote cast for General Hancock two years
ago was 4O7 900, and with the prevailing
activity and earnestness in the Demo.
cratic rank and file throughout the
length and breadth of the state
we do not see why every
one of these ballots should not be
cast for the incorruptible patriot and
honest man who at present carries the
standard of the Democracy. Mr.. Hol-
kins, in view of the showing of the pres
idential election, manifestly falls below
the mark when he puts the probable Dem
ocratic vote next fall at only 800, 600.
There il ample ground for coinciding
with Mr.. Hopkins views as to the cUn
gressional gains likely to be made by the
Democrats. In the present disturbed
condition OF affairs in tho camp of the
enemy, our friends by wise action and
good nominations are certain to redeem

Gu0rd the Line.

Democrats need to be on their guard,
al! over the state, against insidiOus at
tempts 10 assail the political integrity
and personal honor Of members of their
party. The means which were invoked
to save the state to Cameron in 1872 are
being again resorte.l to. They were sue
cessful then because they were invoked
in secret, and unsuspecting Democrats
did not know from what quarter they
weret" be struck until they felt the fatal
blow. The power Of money and Of pa
tronage to debauch the opposition was
never SO remOrselessly exercised by Re
publicans rs ten years ago. 1t is to he
repeated now.
President Arthur mas put all the
patronage Of this slate at Don Cam
eron's service. Simon Cameron has
vowed a tall oath that Beaver shall be
elected. He proposes to give the aid of
his personal influence and political sa-
gacity to the management of this CAM
paign. He appeals to his friends in the
Democratic parLy-of whose good Offices
he has more than once availed himself
to stand by him. In some quarters he
has not appealed in vain, but there are
few men who call themselves Democrats S
and have good repute as such who will
venture upon this treacllery to the party
if their political associates are fore.
warned to watch and expose the first
signs of such detection.
We know the power of patronage is
being corruptly exercised TO debaucl, the
voters of the state. In this city men
whose gray hairs should have taught
them common sense, If not brought
them to a feeling of political decency,
have sought to tamper with the integ-
rity Of Democratic sons of Democratic
sires. The tempter may have been un
conscious that in his effort to mislead
younger men he was exposing himself to
the legal and moral responsibility that
attaches to the meanest gutter -snipe that
sells his vote or buys that of his associate
hummer.
The Democratic line needs only 10 ba
fairly guarded to save it from this dan.
ger and none but the faithful must be
put ON guard.
