A Newly Found Insect Pest.

Massachusetts farmers are filed
with alarm over the reported ravages
of newly-found insectpest, which an
Amherst College bug sharp" says
NAV become widespread through the
country, and may cause more havoc
than the celebrated Colorado potato
beetle. This is the gypsy moth, known
to entomologists rs the ocueria dis
par. At present it is confined the
neighborhood of Medford, where it
caused so much damage that Gov.
Bracket, in his message the other
dav, saw fit to call the attention of az
ricuturists to the pest, and recon-
mended its speedy determination.
The moth was introduced twenty
wears ago by DR.. l.. Trovvelot, who
saw the eggs at the Paris Exposition
and put few in his vest pocket. One
day the little bunch of eggs was blown
out of his window in Medford, and
never heard from until last fall, hen
millions of the gypsy moths attacked
shade and fruit trees and shrubbery,
leaving nothing save twigs and stalks
behind. The area thus devastated
was an ellipse mile and a-half long
and half a mile wide. Prof Fernald,
of the Amherst Agricultural College,
SAYS the moth is terrible pest.

An Interesting Family Fight.

Rufus Shoemaker, a young man of
Middletown, Md, was shot and pain
fully wounded last Friday afternoon
by his father in-law, Henry Crone,
in a family row. The Crone and Shoe
maker families both reside in the same
house, and quarrels are said to be of
frequent occurrence. Friday after
noon Shoemaker was repairing a
smoke-house on the premises, and was
ordered to cease work by Crone's
daughter, pet" Upon his refusing
to desist pet" seized an axe, and
brandishing it is said to have threat
ened to split ShOemaker's head open.
She then called her father, and he APP
peared on the scene armed with pair
of blacksmith tongs. Shoemaker
picked up stone, whereupon Crone
went to the house, and procuring a
gun. which was loaded with number
one shot, fired at Shoemaker. About
a dozen of the shot struck him in the
right leg, near the hip, and three or
four in the left leg, below the knee,
producing painful but not dangerous
wounds. Crone was held to bail in
the sum of 500 by Justice Minnick
for his appearance at court.
