Appetite of the Brown-tail Moth .

A new European colony has effected a
settlement at Someryile, just opposite
the Fitchburg Railroad depot. The
i'm desirable immigrants are known as
brown-tail moths. The brown-tail moth
will eat up several times its own weigh t
every day of its life. This is the first sea.
son that the brown-tail moth has made
itself voraciousiy known, although some
nearby residents say they think they saw
"a few" some two or three years ago. But
now their feeding grounds" have bee N
extended over an area half a mile in width
and mile in length. Their mum bers on
4 single tree are EST mated to be between
5000 md 10000. There is no denying their
voracity, and the destruction they have
done may be seen by any one who will
make the sboft journey tc Somervllle by
the Fuchburg Railroad. Some of the
srees there are denuded OF leaves and look
as bare and denuded as one expects to
see them in winter. Not content with eat
ing up the leaves of the trees. the brown
tail moths have taken possession of the
fences, along which they crawl in search
of something TO devour.-Boston Herald.

PACIFIC ROADS
PROBLEM.
Government viii Likely Act
on The Union Pacific First.

Washington, Jan. I2.-At-
torney General Harmon was
seen to-day and questioned as
to the probable course the
government would pursue with
respect to the Pacific railroads
now that the funding bill had
failed. Beyond the statement
that some action will probably
be taken within the next thirty
days, he declined to discuss
the matter. 1t is believed the
first step will be against the
Union Pacific, inasmuch as the
foreclosure proceeding insti-
tuted by the first lien holders
of that road are now pending
in court.

The TREATY SIGNED
For Arbitration of Disputes
Between the United
States and Great
Britain.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. II.
Secretary Olney, in behalf of
the United States, and Sir Ju-
Ian Paunceforte, on the part
of Great Britain, to-day affixed
their signatures to a new treaty
by which for a term of five
years the two English speaking
nations agree to abide in peace
and without a resort to arms
all possible questions of con-
troversy being referred to a
court of arbitration with the
single exception that neither
nation surrenders its honor or
dignity to the judgement of
arbitration.
Later in the day President
Cleveland sent the treaty and
a message earnestly approving
it to the senate.
The treaty consists of twelve
articles and in print will fill
about one newspaper column.
One Of the last points to be
decided was that King Oscar
of Sweden and Norway is to
act as the final arbitrator in
case, the others fail to agree
on the final member of the
court. The acceptance of the
king and the final agreement
on that detail was not cab1ed
to Washington until late Sun
day night, and even then one
small detail remained to receive
the approval of the British
foreign office. At 1870 this
morning a cablegram from
Lord Salisbury relieved this
last question and left the way
for the formal execution Of the
instrument.

TRACE THE ORIGIN.

States.
1t is to be hoped that when the
fever scare is over that q deter
mined and intelligent effort will
be made to ascertain how the dis
ease reached Ocean Springs on
the Gulf coast. As we have al
ready had occasion to remark,
there are a great many people who
are firmly convinced that Mobile,
in her desire to build up q large
fruit trade with the countries to
the South of us, so relaxed her
quarantine regulations as to allow
the fever to slip in from Colon or
other point in Central America.
Ample ground is afforded for such
a belief by the fact that the in
vestigation of DR.. Guiteras dis
closed one thing quite plainly,
and that was the cases of yellow
fever in Mobile showed no connec-
ton whatever with Ocean Springs,
therefore, it is reasonable to sup
pose that the disease was brought
into Mobile by one of the fruit
ships; found its way to Ocean
Springs and then spread to Biloxi
and other places on the Gull
coast. 1t is an important matter
to ascertain, if possible, how thu
fever originated, because it viii
enable the health authorities t.
: adopt such measures as will pre-
! vent the temperance OF the di
, sease in the future. In this con
nection it is safe to assume tina
next year and for years to CONF
Mobile will see that her quaran
= tine regulations are strictly ant
q rigidly enforced, and will put tn
e lives of her citizens and the wei
: fare of her port above the Contra
American banana business. A
:. any rate, regardless of what Mo
d bile may do, the Louisiana Boar
: of Health is certain to take sucl
n precautionary steps as will pre-
o vent another invasion of yello'
r. fever by way Of the Gulf coast
o New Orleans cannot afford to hav
> her business destroyed and he
., progress checked by the neglet
., or the indifferences of other cite
t. adjacent to her.

persons from infected places, but
such goods as science knows will
not carry germs are admitted, and
Notwithstanding the fact that such
are disinfected in New Orleans,
the cars are fumigated with sui
phur fumes before a parcel OF
freight is taken from.
But people from the towns
around us who are provided with
certificates from the Mayors or
constituted health officers show
ing that they have not been into
any infected town for time con-
sidered safe, will be cheerfully ad-
mitted within our limits, and we
can see on our streets every day
citizens from Breaux Bridge, LO-
reauville, Broussard, New Iberit

we would have no reason to shu

c. and Miss B were to BE-

mitted another young gentleman
friend to accompany her home
from ball in the absence Of Mr..
C at the ball, the latter became
deeply offended at his Aancee's &C
ton, and while in a boiling rage,
he destroyed the marriage license,
and Immediately repaired to St.
Cecilia Church and announced to
Rev. Father Blance that he was
disguised with the idea of getting
married and requested the Rever'
end gentleman to withdraw his
bans which had alrady been an
nounced from the pulpit. His re-
quest was granted, and thus ended
an amusing scene. The wedding
