COLUMBUS O.. Nov. 9Th. 1SS

COLUMBUS O., Nov. 9Th, 1885.
Mr.. NJ. Gilmor, Jackson,
DEAR SIR;-The ear Of corn, to-
gether with the infesting insect, came
duly to hand. Upon examination,
we did not feel certain in regard to
the species, and in order to make sure,
we sent them to Prof. Comstock Of
Cornell University. He identified
them as Euphoria Sepulchralis. Prof.
Comstock stated that it was the first
time that this particular specis had
been called to his attention. A close
ly allied species, Euphoria linda, has
been known to work upon corn in the
same manner for some time past.
This species is also injurious to fruit
by boring into it during the latter
part of the Summer 1t is one Of our
common beetles, which is described
by Harris, and other authors, under
the name Of Celonia linda. 1t is now,
however, called Euphoria linda. In
the Rural New Yorker Of last week, a
description Of this insect is given by
Prof. A ]. Cook. He says that there
are two broods in season, the later
brood, which appears in September,
doing the most harm. They not only
eat corn, but burrow into peaches and
fall apples, and thus often do consid-
cradle damage. The larvae Of this
insect is unknown, but, reasoning
from analogy, it is probable that the
larvae are grub-like in form and live
in the earth upon roots or else decay
ing matter. There is no way to fight
this pest that I am aware of, except
hand picking.
If you can give any farther infor-
nation in regard to the work of the
species that you sent, should be very
glad to receive it. [ want to describe
the insect carefully and give as much
Of it's history as possible in the next
Station Report.
Yours very truly,
WILLIAM R. IAZENBY

the fact of the matter is, that in all
such cases the wrong-doer voluntarily
courts the devils acquaintance, and
seeks his assistance in such wicked
ness. No man with his reasoning
faculties about him need enter into
any copartnership with the devil, and
while some will fall into the company
of the Evil One through sheer weak
ness, there are many who do what
they know to be wrong, do it deliber-
ately, then blame it onto the devil.
"Don't mind that man" says friend.
when a drunk man is cavorting about,
to the annoyance Of everybody, 'be-
cause he is drunk. He's a good fellow
when he's sober, but the devils in
him when he's drunk" Just so! But
when he commenced putting the devil
into himself, he was sober. He pur-
chased the devils blood and poured it
down his own throat, until it vitalized
into full-fedged imp. "Give the
devil his due" He is all bad-there
is not good trait about him. But
there is too great tendency to make
a scapegoat Of him. He may be the
origintor of the evil deed which you
commit, but he does not compel you
to commit it. Take the responsibility
of your own wicked acts. The devil
has heavy enough load to carry.

Many man has become unsettled
in mind through the pursuit Of for
tune, but it is a rather uncommon
thing for one to become insane at the
prospect of becoming a millionaire.
Such a case occurred, however, a few
days ago, at st. Paul, MINI. James
W. Yandes died a short time ago,
without leaving will, but leaving to
his son as his heir, million dollars
worth of property. Brooding over
the task of settling up such an estate,
seems to have unsettled the mind Of
the son. Cyrus Yandes, and few days
after his fathers death he went to the
grave, and blew the side of his head
off with a shotgun. What a tickle
creature the human mind is! That a
great grief, or a season of deep de-
spondency, might unsettle the mind,
seems easily understood; but that the
cheering prospect of being the sole
possessor of an immense fortune
should drive one to suicides grave,
seems unaccountable.

Jones, of the Watchman, claims
that the Republicans spent seven
thousand dollars buying Democrats
in Pike, and Eylar of the West Union
Denfender claims that ten thousand
went to Adams County. And yet
these friends will have the cheek to
claim that they voted the Democratic
ticket.

In the eagerness of their clamor for
the people to forget or ignore the
past, our Democratic exchanges are
publishing this extract from the
speech Of Fitz Hugh Lee, at Winches-
ter, Virginia:
81 thank God that white-winged
peace now broods over the land. /
come here to preach peace, and not
war; to carry as my standard the stars
and stripes, and not the bloody shirt. !"
But these same exchanges do not
tell their readers that this fellow who
spouts about "white-winged peace" :"
and the "stars and stripes" rode to
Winchester upon the saddle Of the
Rebel leader, R. E. Lee, and did so for
the purpose of arousing the old war
feeling, and that the whole Democrat
ic campaign in Virginia was conduct
ed as Confederate cavalry parade.
