At a revival meeting held here some
wears ago, great religious excitement for a
time prevailed, and many were under con-
viction who had never been under that
kind of conviction before. One particu-
larly hardened sinner suffered a remark
able change OF heart and announced his
intention OF having his offenses washed
away by immersion. His skeptical BROTH
er, who regarded this peculiar mental con-
dition as fit OF temporary insanity SUI
perinduced by strong excitement, drawled
satirically on hearing the news, "Water
is cleansing better have them anchor you
out, Tom, over night"
AS Ira Williams was returning Satur-
day night, between eleven and twelve
O'Clock, from grange meeting in Shows
vile, he met with quite serious bicycle
accident. His wife and his daughter,
Mrs. Frank Seymour Of Springfield, Mass,
passed them on his wheel near Heber Hol- |
mans with the remark that he was all |
right. Going down the sand hill by the !
Valley Farm, he must have taken fearful |
header; for those in the team found him |
standing by the side OF the road with sew
eral cuts and bruises about the head and |
his wits pretty well scattered. He refused |
to ride home, however, and his wife got |
out OF the wagon and walked back the
rest OF the way with him. He was able to
help about putting up the horse, but APP
peared to be in a dazed condition, and 1t was
some hours after doctor had been sum-
moned before he really came to himself;
and even then he had no clear idea Of what
had happened to him.
The army worm, whose ravages are more
to be dreaded than those OF the tent worm,
has made its appearance in the Connecticut
valley and threatens to devour every green
thing In the state. The army worm first
entered Vermont In menacing numbers
about twenty years ago and specimens
were taken to one c. O. Frost, who gave
remedy which was tried successfully and
which the agricultural department OFF,
cials are sending out now in bulletins,
though with some additions. These bull
etins are posted in every postoffice and
read as follows:-"The army worm is in
promptly. 1t is smooth worm, one and
i half inches long, dark along the back,
narrow black, white and yellow stripes on
zach side, and greenish underneath. 1t
,ats leaves of corn, grain and grass. When
possible and practible, sprinkle with paris
yreen, one pound in $50 gallons Of water;
leep well stirred. For barriers between
ields, set up fence boards edgewise and
,oat with coal tar. Poison a green strip
nree IeeU Wlue HTOuuu uue Heius IloW
leep furrow and put coal tar on the bot
ON, or forty parts meal or bran and one
part paris green" 1t is believed that the
udden appearance OF this pest is due to !
he fact that it thrives in marshy and wet +
,laces from which it has been driven by !
he drying up Of Its haunts and Is forced
O seek food in the fields OF grass and /
rain. An orderly procession OF plaques !
GEMS to be advancing against US this sum /
ner, after the fashion pursued toward the l
ncient Egyptians, and there appears to +
e no appreciable reason for it unless it Is !
he presence of few populists among us
whose peculiar views are enough to make n
nv commonwealth need a strong dose OF 4
ermifnge. The first appearance Of the h
rorm in this section was noted by Mr.. 4
rank Griswold, who found his fine field n
I rye almost totally devoured, and in h
cid Of oats the stalks were stripped to the q
eads of grain. Thousands Of worms,
nswering to the description OF the army +
ariety, covered the ground in both fields,
nd he managed to kill as many as ninety F
/ distance Of three feet.
