There is to be an excursion from New
port to Vergennes and return tomorrow
(Tuesday); fare for the round trip only
S1.25. The train will leave Newport at 80
in the morning and 60 BY the way of the
Canadian Pacific and G. Y. e. r. to Bur
Hngton, where they will take the steamer
and ride twenty-five miles to the mouth
of the Otter Creek, thence sail of eight
miles up the river to Vergennes. The>lake
trip gives an elegant view of Queen City
Park, Shelbur Bay, where DR.. Webb's
summer home is located, the Adiron dack
Mountains and many other points of inter
est. Vergennes is the oldest city in the
State, and is very interesting place to
visit. On the return trip the train reaches
Newport at 80 p. m. This is an excellent
trip for very little money, and our citi-
zens should take advantage of H.
Some sections of the state are being over
run with what Is known as the army worm
These worms injure the fruit trees very
much and kill all of the foliage on the
shade trees. In some sections in the south
and central parts of the state they are SO
thick that they are a great nuisance to
people walking on the streets. The trees
are being sprayed at quite an expense, in
order to protect them from these worms.
A method of protection which is said to be
very good if taken before the worms are
on the trees is to tack some stickyf1y paper
around the trunks Of the trees, which will
of course keep the worms from crawling
up; another method is to use paper COW
cred with tar. AS far as we have heard,
these worms have not reached this section
as yet, but at the first signs of them they
should be looked after and not be allowed
to increase.
