at the Agricultural College at Columbus,
and has charge Of the Experiment
station there. The failure OF trains to
connect threw the gentleman behind,
having been lecturing In the west part
of the State. Though young man, he
is well booked up and practical. His
half hour was interesting and all were
anxious to hear him in the evening
upon insects.
The audience in the evening, though
not large, owing to the circumstances,
was appTeciatiVe and were we'll pleased
with Professor LaZenby's discourse.
He first spoke of the number OF differ
ent kinds Of insects; that while there
was probably 100000 species Of plants
there were probably three times as
many species Of insects. They were not
all, however, destructive.
In speaking of the destructive insects
he mentioned the apple tree tent cater
pillar, traced it through its various
stages, and advised cutting of the twigs
where they are located. These are bad
in the State of New York. The cOddling
moth sting the apple when the blossom
was dropping and a weak preparation
of paris green might be thrown over
the tree by a force pump. The canker
worm might be prevented by making a
circle Of tar round the tree; and recon-
mended washing the trunk with soft
soap for the apple tree bOrer, and to use
a wire to kill them in their holes. He
preferred London purple rather than
Paris green for the potato bug, and
admitted the cabbage worm was a
| troublesome customer, but spoke OF in
sect powder. For the current worm he
recommended white hellebOre. All
present were highly pleased with Prof.
Lazenby's pleasant discourse and vote
Of thanks was extended, when the lnsti-
tute adjourned tor the second time. We
say let our Institute be held once year

Although there has been considerable
sickness during the month, the mortal
ity is below the average. The complaints
chiefly have been disturbances or the
respiratory organs. The publication OF
births is omitted because incomplete.
Vital statistics to be OF any value, must
be accurate. When the Legislature per-
fects the law requiring the return OF
births and deaths; the publication of
births will be resumed. Meanwhile, as
a matter Of interest to the public, the
monthly publication Of deaths will be
continued. Physicians Of the city and
the Coroner will send in their reports
through the pOstoffice, addressed, Regis

The new company will need a uum-

The company is pushing things in the

DIR. sLUssER's REMARKS:

As remarks under the five minute rule
have taken a wide range, it occurred to
me to improve the occasion to say word
or two in favor Of the South, as an invi-
ting field for young farmers who may
be prospecting for home.

Greeley to the young man in search Of
a home, Was-"GO West" We're Horace
Greeley now living, it seems to me his
advice to the young farmer under like
circumstances, would be, go South"

A Talk About Boards,

The early Romans considered a full
beard as evidence of the savage nature
of its wearer or at least of his lack of
refinement. The term barbarian. :"
| which was applied by the Romans to al
most every race outside their own, has
| been confounded with the beard (the
Latin barba, the French barbe, signify
ing beard), especially as the word was
used as reproach to anyone Who wore
| hair upon his face, and some suppose
| that the barber of to-day obtained his
name from that root. Neither of these
suppositions are correct, the term origin
ating with the Egyptians, in applica-
cation to the natives of Barbar, an an
Gent country on the coast of Africa.
Still, it would not be surprising if the
beard had something to do with its
adoption by the Romans. Recollec-
ton may be called. incidentally, to the
play of ''Ingomar," wherein the beard
OF the hero furnishes material for dra-
matte eloquence. In this case its pos
SCISSOR regarded it with pride, and his
hardest task was to cut it off.
On the other hand, when an Egyp-
tan artist desired to depict a low,
slovenly fellow, he represented him as
having several days growth of hair
upon his face. But, for that matter.
the artist of to-day would be likely to
portray tramp in the same way.
Among the Egyptians artificial boards
were worn, however, as matter of
personal ornament-one of the whims
OF fashion-and Egyptian warriors re-
turning from a campaign pointed with
pride to their unshaven faces, as an
evidence that their battles and hard
ships had given them no opportunities
to attend 20 their personal appearance.
The beard has always been one of the
attributes of the soldier. Shakespeare
depicts him as "bearded like the pard,"
and he makes Jack Fallstaff say that
if he does not perform certain valor-
Gus deed he'll never wear hair on his
face more. Readers of Thackeray will
remember that Jos. Sedley allowed his
mustache to grow when he desired to
pass for an officer. At the time during
which the incidents of Thackeray's
''Vanity Fair" are supposed to occur
no English gentleman, unless he were
a military man, wore n beard of any
KIND, excepting aC INC risA VI polnS
looked upon as eccentric or worse.
Later the "mutton-chop" style came
into vogue, and has since remained
delightfully."- English" In this coun-
try men not very old well remember
when man with hair on his face was
looked upon with curiosity, and even
with suspicion. Boston Herald.
