DEATH OF An OLD CITIZEN.

Mr.. JAMES DAIzELI, Vice President
Of the City Bank, who died suddenly,
yesterday, at his residence in this city,
was one among the Oldest citizens Of
Wheeling, and had long been promi-
nentIy identified with its business in
teTests.
Although his death was sudden and
unexpected at the moment, he had long
been in failing health. His physical
powers were so enfeebled as to dis
qualify him for active business, and his
whole appearance and manner were
those Of man thoroughly worn out and
struggling against inevitable decline.
AS business man Mr.. DALzELL was
more than ordinarily successful. The
firm of CRANGLE & DALzELL has been
regarded among the most substantial, as
well as the most successful, of the city,
for many years past. Socially he was
highly esteemed, and his urbane man
ners and genial disposition made him a
pleasant companion and won him many
friends. In both these relations, busi-
ness and social, he will be missed from
the community, and his death will be
mourned by a large circle of relatives.

The Appearance i'm Large Numbers of q
Singular Pest in Portions Of Medley.s
District


From the Montgomery MD Advocate June 18TH
Our correspondent NIX" from Beallsville
sends us information of the appearance in large
numbers of a very singular pest in that vicinity.
supposed by many to be the army worm, which
few years ago did such great damage to crops in
various sections of the country Our CORES
pondent describes the worm as follows 'The
worm Is about as long as the common cater
pillar, is black and ugly in appearance, with red
head: and travels with remarkable speed" The
first appearance Of the pest was noted upon the
farm of DR.. Shreeve, near the Potomac, and
In large numbers, soon covering the space
of ten acres. They were travelling very
rapidly, crossing fields stone fences, bitches
and every obstruction in the easiest
halted upon the farm of Mr.. Frank White
near MOnocacy. Just above Beallsville Mr.
White, upon discovering the invaders, plowed
deep burrows around his wheat field, this pre-
caution last year having been reported as
enectual in stopping the progress of the worm.
However, in this instance it was of no avail, the
worms passing over the bitches without the
slightest difficulty. In this section the worm
has not yet injured the corn, paying instead
particular attention to the wheat and oats. ALI
the growing crops have so far given such fine
promise that the appearance Of what in the
past proved such destroyer, occasions the
greatest excitement and uneasiness. Up to the
date of our correspondents 1etter-last Satur-
day-Mr. Whites wheat has been heavily dam
aged and an entire feidof fine blue grass has
been destroyed. All the farmers are busy plow-
Ing bitches around their fields and attempts
will be made to destroy the worms by burning
or driving rollers over them. The greatest
activity and excitement prevails and every soul
In the nefghbOrhOOd is at work to crush out
what may yet prove a serious evil. We also
learn that In the neighborhood of Tennallytown
the worm is at work. several corn fields having
been already DESTROYED.

Relief Slow I'm COming-Ovcr 5000 PeO-
PIE Without Food.
Cor. Boston Herald.

Cor. Boston Herald.
DANvrLLE. Va, June IS, 1852. Your CORES
pendent has just returned from a ride through
the lower end of Patrick county. where the peo-
pie are starving, and some are dead from want
Of food. Going with party Of three in q light
spring wagon, in which were placed three bar
rels OF shelled corn, all it would carry, the
party, after leaving the railroad station, went
through Franklin county, and, after a ride Of
six hours. passed into Patrick county. The
trip was rough and tedious the roads narrow
mountainous and in an almost impossible con-
clifton owing to the recent heavy rains In that
section. At the first house beyond the border
line the party stopped and went In. A man, his
wife three children and a negro cook were
there, and told O pitiable tale Of their suffer-
ings. They had not tasted bread or grain of
any kind for five days, and had eked out pain
full existence by living on such early vegetables
as they could get. When told that they could
help themselves to some of the shelled corn
in one Of the barrels they rushed eagerly to the
wagon, and fell ravenously upon it, eating the
raw corn by the handful with q keen relish.
Their nearest neighbor was four miles away
and was in like deplorable condition. Every
where the party went the same story OF sdffer-
Ing was told, and the face of the poor people
spoke more elOQuently than words the chill
dren, especially, presenting an appearance of
emacfatiOn and wanness which was heartrend-
Ing. 1t takes about q week Of hard travelling
TO reach Patrick county, and the people, it
seems put of too long their appeals to the out
side world for help. The cry heard on all sides
from them is: "Give us corn and flour!" During
the past two weeks their struggles to keep up
life have been terrible and every expedient has
been resorted to. Every known reed that was
not poisonous was cooked but, unfortunately,
the season has been 80 backward that many late
wild salads have not yet sprung up. The late
spring weather killed the cherries, and the
early cabbage plants have been nearly all that
was left in the scant gardens of the unfortunate
mountaineers. and these were eaten up q week
ago, many Of them not being over three inches
in length. Thus, by series Of unprecedented
and unforeseen evils, over 5000 people in the
most remote section Of the state have been
brought to starvation. The reports of their
condition have not been exaggerated, and their
situation is daily growing worse Relief COM
mittees are out In Danville, Richmond and other
cities OF the state, and are making great efforts
to get supplies.
