Simple Remedy for Cabbage Worms

Simple Remedy for Cabbage Worms.-
The Farmers Home Journal says: "Prof. Riley
announces the discovery Of a remedy for the cab
bage worm which is easily applied and, he says,
has proved entirely satisfactory with Mr.. Erwin,
of New York, who first discovered it. 1t is simple
ice-cold water applied at midday directly to the
worms by pouring or spiinkling on them. The
insects curl up and roll off dead, and the cabbages
are revived by the cooling application. Ofcourse
it is best used in the heat of the day. In case
ice water is not at hand he says very cold spring
water will do pretty we'll. When we think of the
effect on our own persons plunge into an ice
bath has in July day we will not wonder that
the tender little larva of the Pieris rap@ should
dump himself into direct eternity when cruelty
treated to cupful ofthis cold pizen.'" Cabbage
growers should certainly give this simple remedy
a trial, and then report results.

"Genuine Counterfeits. There is good
reason for believing that genuine countelrets Of
the subsidiary coinage are in extensive crcula-
ton. Business men and bankers report the oc-
casiona detection of half dollars showing slight
flaws in coming, but otherwise identical in size,
weight and composition with those from the
government minis. There is an ample margin of
profit to tempt counterfeters in this kind OF work
The genuine subsidiary coins contain only 1856
grains silver to the dollar, the bullion value being
about seventy six cents. To illustrate the profit
to be gained-one hundred trade dollars can be
bought for SS4 and reconed into 217 half dollars,
which are legal tenderfo S1OS.5O. If undertaken
extensively, this sort of crookedness pays well,
and the chances of detection small.

President Cleveland to Join the Veterans
at Gettysburg.

ans of the late war to visit, each spring, some
one of the celebrated battle-felds of the Union,
the pilgrimage will this season be made to Get
tysburg. The time fixed for the visit is May 4th
and 5th.
The great success attending the previous visits
of the veterans to Fredericksburg and elsewhere,
and the wide interest manifested by the old sol
diers of both armies, indicates that the Gettys-
burg meeting will not only be largely attended,
but highly valuable, from an historical point of
view, and full of interest to the participants in
the scenes enacted there twenty-five years ago.
The meeting will bring together numbers of the
most distinguished men of the land. The Presi-
dent, with his Cabinet; the "War Governors"
and present Governors of the States, distinguished
officers and soldiers of both armies, and men
prominent in the councils ofthe nation, will honor
the occasion with their presence. Not only from
the vicinity Of the field will the veterans come,
but from States North, South, East and West,
soldiers and civilians are sending assurances of
their attendance
The pilgrimage is made under the auspices of
the First and other Corps of the Army OF the Pc
tomac, but the invitation covers every officer and
soldier of the late war.
In order to accommodate the visitors the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company will sell excursion
tickets from points ON its lines to Gettysburg, on
May 3D. Sd, and 4th, good to return until the 9th

Heavy Slide on the M. C.-Some time dur
ing Sunday night last heavy slide of earth and
rock (probably fifty tons) occurred on the Mary
land Central road near the south side of the Gun
powder. The engine and one car which carries
the train gang to Beair early Monday morning,
ran into the slide damaging the pilot of the engine
but fortunately no one was hurt. The slide de-
layed all the trains somewhat, but by afternoon
the track had been cleared and the trains ran on
their usual time. 1t was necessary to blast some
of the rocks before they could be removed.

Glyndon, 4th District-The noted Dan
Christ and Bill Leese, accompanied by several
friends of the same stamp, have established head
quarters in an old house on the farm of Mrs. Susan
Given, about half mile from Glyndon and in a
very lonesome and secluded place. 1t is reported
that these worthless living high on fried chick
en- and eggs, and if the hen houses of the neigh
boring farmers could talk they could doubtless a
tale unfold that would make things extremely un-
comfortable for them.
Four houses are now in course of erection in
this place-three by Mr.. Lee Cook, one of the pro-
pretors of the oil company, and one by Mr.. l..
Barry. Other improvements are being made in
the way of painting, &C., all of which tend to
make our "infant" more attractive. The new and
substantial board walk in front of Mrs. Penning-
tons property is another step in the right direc
ton, and the march of progress has not been af-
fected by the whitening sarcasm of "Alpha and
Omega" whose filings in the Voice show how jeal-
Gus he is. The snarling canine in the manger
isn't circumstance to him, but we don't wonder
he kicks at us when he looks around him and sees
what little progress the "Gnished" burg of Refs
terstown is making.
The Reisterstown flag pole, which "the boys
used to climb to see the sun rise, has been cut
down and alas another charm of the place has
disappeared. "Alpha" has our warmest sympa-
thies.
Mr.. George Scentz, of this place, has for some
time been great sufferer from infamamtory rheu-
| matism. G. S.
