tho action of Presbytery and is to

is held that tho Presbytsry acted un-
Justly in putting Mr.. Montgomery in q
position of embarrassment and forcing
his resignation; and then after he was
sustained by his congregation refused
without reason TO allow him to with.

THE srRUorURE OF INSECTS.


DIR. Schumacher Begins Another Series of
Lectures Before School Teachers.
DIR. S. @. Schmucksr uf West Ches-
ter, whose lectures before the Primary
Teachers Association OF this city last
year were so successful, began another
series before that association in tho
Wolaston School on Monday afteru0on.
The subject of tine lecture was 1.-The
Structure of Insects. " lie spoke par
ticularly Of the structure of the grass
hopper, as it is one Of the most familiar
insects. The grasshonper's body is
divided into three sections; the head,
the thorax and the abdomen. The head
is fastened to the thorax by neck
which is not visible. being covered by
the first segment of the thorax. In tho
head are the eyes, two large uomnound
eyes and three smaller ones and the
antennae or feeerH. The thorax consists
of three parts, prOthorax, mesathoraS
and metathoraX. To the thorax are
fastened the wings and legs.
The grasshopper has two wings, a
large one for flying and small one
when he jumps down to the ground
the small wing folds over the large
wing and protects it from the rough
grass. The leg Of the grasshoppsr is
connected with the body by a joint
known as the coxa. Next to this is
another small Joint called the tro-
chanter, then comes ths largest joint,
the femur. Joined to the femur 10 the
tibia aud on 1t are several little spikes
which give the grasshopper irmer hold.
Then comes the tarsus.
The first segment of the abdomen is
somewhat triangular in shape anu con
tains the ear drum. In the lower part
of each segment of the abdomen are
little openings known az the spiracles,
by means of which the insect breathes.
DR.. Schmucker closed vita short
talk on butterfly lawae, showing the
different stages OF growth from the EGG
