NEwsY NOTES.

In Eastern Ohio red worm is doing
considerable injury to growing wheat.
It works in the root of the plant. The
worm seems to be a new one.
The loss by forest fires in Clearfield
county last week is estimated at $780,
600. A great deal of bark was burned
and nearly every tract of timber in the
county was burned over.
Pennsylvania tobacco growers are busy
now setting the plants for this years
crop. Most of the planting is done by
machinery as it can be done better in that
way than by hand. One grower in Clin-
ton county will plant thirteen acres in
tobacco this year.
The Institute for Feeble Minded Chill
dren at Polk, Venango county, will be
completed by the last of August, when
the institution will be turned over TO the
trustees, who will begin the work of
identifying the grounds. furnishing the
| buildings and getting them ready for oc-
cupancy, which will probably not be un-
til the latter part of the winter or early
| spring.
Fish stories now begin to float into
town from every quarter of the sur
rounding valleys and hills. When trout
adventures fail to excite the wonder of
the city by-stander it is a bullhead story
that will. The last man that came in
during the week claims to have captured
twenty pounds of bull-heads in stream
two feet wide at Spartansburg.-T

Gen. U. S. Grant made the following
prediction during his last illness:
"Though l have been trained as a soldier
and have participated in many battles,
there never was a time when, in my
opinion, some way could not have been
found of preventing the drawing of the
sword. look forward to an epoch when
a court recognized by all nations will set
tie international differences instead of
keeping large standing armies as they do
in Europe
