Kill the Moths.

NIL Tic NOLTS.
The small brown moths that are so
prevalent here just now are the millers
that about month ago denuded our
trees when they were known as the for
est tent caterpillar. They are more of a
pest than the English sparrows and
should be killed at sight before they get
ready to lay their eggs. In Randolph
and Montpelier the citizens have hit upon
novel way to rid the town of the moths.
The electric light globes are utilized be-
cause they are so high and because they
burn all night and so do their deadly
work while you sleep" In Montpelier
the opening of the globe at the bottom
was closed with paper and two pounds
of millers were taken from four globes.
In Randolph five arc globes contained
bushel of dead millers after one nights
trial. The st. Johnsbury street lights
have furnished rich harvest of dead
millers and every night hundreds of them
may be seen flying around every light.
After recent stormy night some of the
globes were almost filled with millers and
a night watchman smelling smoke during
the night investigated only to find out
that the smoke and smell was caused by
the cremation of the millers. In few
weeks the millers will lay their eggs on
our fruit and shade trees and every effort
should be made to kill them. In case
the moths have not escaped from cocoons
the cocoons can be destroyed, but in
many instances the moth has already
made good his escape. The cocoons are
of lemon color and may be seen in
cracks and crevices on public buildings,
private houses or even on the fences.
Between the English sparrow which nest
above the electric light and the moths
which swarm in the globe itself the life of
trimmer these days is quite busy one.

Our War Correspondence.

Everybody. of course, wishes to get
all the news of the war, and news
papers try their best to get it for them.
Some of them, in their eagerness, are
not very particular whether what they
give is news or fiction. They know
they can fool some people all the time.
and all the people part of the time.
and they act as if they really think
they could fool all the people all the
time. Lincoln believed that it could
hot be done, and Abraham was wise
man in his day and generation.
But while everybody is anxious to get
all the news of the war, there are s5v-
eral thousand people in this state, faith
ers, mothers, sisters and sweethearts,
who want to get some especial news;
news of what is Detailing their sons
and brothers and lovers, who have gone
off in the Minnesota volunteers. They
would rather hear about them, the
movements of their regiments, the hap
peniEgs i'll camp the details of conf
pany life than to read columns Of "spe
cal service" stuff about the movements
of squadrons of which the censor per-
nlits no one to know anything.
So The G / o b e arranged with men,
bors of the severals regiments to send
to it the news of the regiment, what
happened in camp or on the march or
CT transport: the smaller personal mat
ters affecting the men themselves. This
correspondence has been coming in and
more is to come, and it will come from
Cuba when the boys get there and from
the Philippines when Merritt's boys
reach there: and we shall miss our
guess badly if it does not prove to many
thousand readers in this state the most
interesting of all the war correspon-
dence and far more than all the fancy
surmising of the agents Of the special
SERVICE" and The G o b e is the only

Written for The GLOBE,

Written for The G 10 be.
Where the Western plains unroll their green
Till the mountains frowning shadows lean
From snow-crowned. rock-ribbed peaks,
Comes the rapid tramp Of bronchos spurred
By their eager riders who have heard
What war in thunder speaks.
On each saddle horn hangs lariat coil,
Jingling spurs and reins add their turmoil
Unto the cayalcade.
I Under wide felt hats the dark eyes burn.
Reckless faces grow shade more stern,
But never grow afraid.
For the Stars and Stripes they'll shed their
blood
Till the conflict spends it's crimson flood,
And glory in the deed.
Spanish hearts must quail when on the field,
Swift and bold. they charge and never yield
Until their foes stampede.
Well their leader knows their wild free life,
With its dash and fearless reck of strife
He knows them at their best
They will dare the worst while life holds fast,
AT the front be first and leave 1t last,
These riders from the West.
