attained a speed of ll2l miles an hour
The test of speed was made between
Rochester and Buffalo. Just west OF
Crittenden mile in thirty-two see

miles an hour. \ speed nearly as
great was kept up for about thirteen
miles until Forks Station was reached,
and then Hogan slowed down and
entered Buffalo at customary speed.
arriving on time The passengers on
the train said tat the train flew
along with the same steadineSs that
would have accompanied a slower
rate Of speed. There was no uuu>al
swaying or jolting, and only persons
who were looking out for manifesto
tions of extraordinary speed would
have noticed that the cljckety-cllck
of the rails sounded like the roar of
musketry and the telegraph poles
along tie track seemed like picketS in
a fence. No 999 will be exhibited at

Yesterday. Two young men, after the
circus had been unlOaded and the
tents were up, were conversinS in
friendly manner. One was reading
book while leaning on a rope. The
other young man playfuIly tapped
the rope to prevent his companion
from reading. This action provoked
the young man who was reading aud
he hurled the book after the young
man who shock the rope. The book
missed the mark, whereupon he
seized an iron spike, about two and
half feet long aud three fourths OF an
inch thick with a sharp point, and
threw it with considerable, force at
his tormentor. The spear struck the

4 New Enemy.

New Enemy.
We clip the following item from the
Hagerstown Globe
John Heflebower, Of Keep Tryste,
this county, says that his attention
being called to the matter by a farmer
of Loudoun county. Virginia, he eN-
amined one Of his fields of clover, at
Keep Tryste, and found the same de
plorable condition complained Of by
his friend from across the river. \
small, plump worm, of greenish hue,
is feeding upon the leaves Of the
clover aud such rapid Roadway has
been made unuoticed thai he thinks
unless the clover can outgrow the ap-
petite Of the worm the crop will be-
almost if not wholly ruined in this To-
cality. Mr.. Hrnebower j. encour-
aged in the hope that the clover will
outgrow the devastation under the
influence OF the sun andwnrm weather,
but if the cool weather should con-
tinue for any time, he believes the
crop will be ruined beyond reclaim.
The worm isa new enemy OF the farm
er. 50 far a Mr. Hedlebower' know
ledge and experience Of more than IA
half century goes, and he is of the
impression that the worm exists and
is feeding upon the fields Of the coun-
ty generally, without the knowledge
Of the farmers.
\ green worm is doing much dam
age to the clover in some parts Of
this county. CharlestoWa Spirit.

The county court adjourned on
Monday. after a session of nearly n
week at two dollars per day for each

economical disturbance OF mind that
afflicted the majority. We presume
the court transacted a good deal OF

informed that in a tit of retrenchment
and reform the court dispensed with
the ten district physicians 10 the

meagre compensation of SO each per

upon the doctors but the poor patients.
Under the rule the INDECENT sick man,
or sick member of an impoverished
family, may die before medical relief
can be ohtained-sO far "a the county
is concerned. What we need now is
