sects Angle worms are Of benefit to the
soil in loosening it up and making il
more productive. 1t is not beneficial &c
have the birds destroy these worms.
The sparrow is considered nuisance,
but they are a great scavenger, destroy
ing insects and worms. In the vicinity
of New York the disease known as the
"botts' in horses is now almost I'M
known since the introduction of the
English sparrow, as they destroy the
eggs from which these worms, so injuri-
ous to horses, are Matched. Is not par
ticularly favorable to the wood-pecker,
and thinks they do more hurt than good.
Does not think what is known as the
"frog- hopper" that leaves its bundle of
froth upon the stocks of the grasses of
any especial injury. 1t is the ''joint
worm" that burrows in the topmost
point on the stalks of timothy grass
stalks, causing the head and stalk above
to turn white and die. Would feed the
crows to keep them from pulling the
corn. Advised more care in the selec-
ton and care of seed grains, particularly
corn, so as not to injure the terminating
power. Freezing the cob will cause in
jury and should be avoided. II the best
and most perfect garden seeds are pro-
vided much trouble will be avoided.
Farmers can raise seeds to advantage, as
beet, carrot, peas and beans; but not so
well the squash, cucumber and pumpkin.
Cattle should be kept out of woodland
If perfect timber is wanted. Advised
fencing off the hills and rough portions
of the farm and encouraged growth of
timber. Would plant the seeds of for
est trees instead of transplanting as
much better every way. Last, but not
least, farmers should observe their
homes to see if they are properly
warmed and ventilated. Rooms should
not be ventilated from the tops of win
dows, but near the floor, as the unwhole-
some air sinks to the floor, instead of
rising upwards At the close of the adj
dress the speaker answered such ques-
tons rs were asked, which occupied the
remainder of the evening. The attend
ance and interest through the day and
evening were good.

report narrates the history of the enter
prise to indicate the manner in which
the expenses were incurred. The rail-
road to the grounds cost SCI, 757. Delay
and bad weather increased the cost of
construction and installation by render
ing necessary great increase of the force
OF employees. The management as
sumed the expense of handling large
amounts of material intended for exhibit

adds, greatly reduced the attendance,
cutting off from $4,000 to 10000 a dsy
of anticipated receipts. To the deficit of

To MY Old Friend Capt. J. = Donahue'

Gone is the Cap, the Jolly chap,
That tends the lighthouse here;
And gone with him, as sure as guns,
Ono.half our daily cheer.
NOPE around his tramping ground,
Anu look now AT the pricks
That he has made along the grade
With his sharp-pointed sticks.
God bless you, Cap; may no mishap
Beial you while away,
Don't let the friends that you are with
Prevail on you to stay.
It's lonesome without you around,
The signal nag is out;
And the red light is burning bright,
But there's no Cap about.
If should live to sec the day
They put you out this station,
III buy a ton of dynamite,
And blow up half this nation.
AS long as you can peg around
No man must interfere,
Nor dare to think or even wink
That you must go from here.
If such game was set on foot,
And Crusoe still alive,
He'u call out all the singing bees
That's mustered in the hive.
We won't EEL right TIL you get back,
So hurry up your cake,
Well all be pleased to see you come
And greet you with shake.
We hope for you a pleasant time,
With frie dis and kindred dear;
But don't forget we need you yet,
And mean to keep you here. CRUsoE.

IT has been for some time suspected
that all was not peace and harmony
among the Democrats of the State. A
Rutland dispatch to the New York .SW,
confirms these suspicious. 1t says:
A revolt of the Democratic masses of
Vermont against the dictatorship of Hi
ram Atkins of Montpelier has begun. \
circular has been issued to Democrats in
every town asking information as to the
filling of pOstollices and asking whether
the appointments have been in accord
ance with the wishes of the majority of
the Democratic voters in the several com
munties, and requesting the name of the
person through whose influence unsatis-
factory appointments have been made.
This movement has been engineered by a
prominent Democrat. and he expresses a
determination when the required inform
att n shall have been secured of OrganiZ-
ing a revolt at the next State Convention
which shall rid the party of the bosses to
whom it has submitted for years.

COLONEL L. F. COPELAND, a western
orator, has been engaged to give his lee
ture, 1.-The Mistakes of Bob" in reply to
Ingersoll at Rutland. November I. says
a curl ent item. 1t is strange that Bob
should require any REPLY in this day
and generation. lie is glib and bright
talker. to be sure, but his arguments, in
so far as he argues at all, were long since
confuted. Ingersolls ideas are rehash,
adaptation and modern version of those
advanced hundred years ago by French
writers, and set forth in this country by
Thomas Paine. Ingersoll has nothing new
to say, and he disgusts pretty much
every decent man who hears him. If it
were not for the advertising he gets from
ministers and others who think they are
in duty bound to reply" to him, his
lectures would have no effect except
to excite contempt of the lecturer. The
more ''replies" are made the more Inger-
soil rejoices, for he thus secures unimit-
ed advertising; and the public, believing
there must be something to his lectures
or they should not hear so much about
them, go to see what he has to offer. 1t
is well, in the clerical as in all other pro-
fessions, to know when to keep still.
