when put on the hand, it Immediately starts
out at swift gait and spins silk like spider.
1t eats the young corn off below the ground,
and then imbeds itself in cocoon. 1t is
something new to farmers. Hundreds of
acres of corn have been ruined, and all sec
tons ofthe county have suffered. Corn ground
ploughed last fall is not so badly injured as
that ploughed this spring. Some fields have
been replanted, while farmers are at work in
others. The present weather is prepitious for
the work of the corn worm. The same trou-
Bile is experienced by Berks county farmers.

Mr.. Joel X. Bollinger, of near town, has
been quite i'll for few weeks, but is rapidly
improving under the treatment of DR.. L. II.
Seiss.
The convention of the Y. P. S. c. Z. was
well attended and the exercises were OF such
character that all could take part. Whilst
we felt that it was not the influence that a
higher ecclesiastical body would exert upon
community, yetwe believe twill be remem-
bered as a convention that had a wholesome
influence upon the community along the line
of practical work.
The decoration of the soldiers graves and
the exercises at the public school grounds
were well attended. The Grafton delivered
by H. NJ. Clabaugh, Esq, was well thought
out and expressed in beautiful language.

About Town.

All over Westminster improvements are
being made-houses being built, additions and
alterations to others being made, and many
more being reprinted. One painter has ten
houses to repaint, and the others are busy
also. An addition 6s feet long is being built
to the canning establishment Of B. +. Shriver
& Co., and corn house 20xl3S feet is being
put up at the cannery of Smith, Yingling Il
Co.
The parsonage of St. Paul's Reformed
Church is under roof and is eommodious as
well as handsome.
The Park committee, Fred. ID. Miller chair
man, has Just received the fountain to be
erected in Belle Grove Square. Bya festival
and private subscription funds have been
raised to purchase the fountain. 1t cost $500
in New York, and the fountain and pool to-
gether will cost over $500. The city will
make the water connection and pay for the
necessary water. The fountain is Of bronze
and 10 feet inches high. 1t has acanthus
leaf base and three basins, four feet, three
feet, and twenty inches respectively in diam
eter, and is surmounted with duck with a
boy on its back. Around the pool will be a
bronze base, octagonal in shape and sixteen
feet across. The whole will be beautiful
ornament to the park and testimonial TO the
good taste and liberality of the citizens OF the
West End.
Some Improvements are Just now delayed
for want of bricks. The city is unable to put
in sewer on Centre street, and until that is
done side walks cannot be laid there.
On Liberty street, beyond the city limits,
the lack of city government is apparent. The
bed of the street is uneven, the drainage is
bad and side walks wanting. The residents
there are fixing up to some extent, but for
want of system the work is slow. There is
no law to compel uniformity in width or height
of sidewalks, and until that section comes into
the corporation it will always be behind the
city in sanitary matters and in beauty and
convenience of street and sidewalks.
