PESTS OF THE PEACH TREES.
Insects Ravishin8 the Orchards. ON
the Farms Of Maryland.

the Farms Of Maryland.
College Park. Nd. May 6.-Prof W.
F. johnson, State entomologist at the
Maryland Agricultural College. says:
The season is now fully opened and
chronological standpoint. The first
insect Of any considerable economical
importance is one which has not been
very conspicuous for the last eight or
ten years in this State, and is known
as the black peach aphis, one Of the
plant lice known to science as aphis
prunicola. 1t has occurred in young
orchards planted last Fall and this
Spring and in nurseries in such num-
bers that thousands of trees have al
ready been destroyed byit.
In one large nursery in Prince George
county, the insect has destroyed in the
neighborhood of a hundred thousand
trees and has gained a foothOld in a
block where nearly five thousand trees
are growing. We are now waging a
warfare against it at this place and
hope to save the greater portion Of the
remaining trees by the prompt appli-
cation of the remedies we have for it's
suppression. Another outbreak has
occurred on the Eastern Shore, where
the insect has made its appearance in
the heart of a block OF young peach
trees containing nearly fourteen hun
dred thousand. 1t has also appeared in
the young orchards of the mountain
peach belt Of Western Maryland, and
many Of the large growers have lost
hundreds Of thousands of trees al
ready. / am now doing everything in
my power with the apparatus and as
sistance at my command to help the
FRI, nd nf
State out Of this emergency.
Il have now in press a bulletin,
which will be issued within the next
two or three days. giving information
regarding this insect. This bulletin
also embraces an article on the cut
worm. which is SO very injurious to
young tobacco and other plants, CIV
ing the remedy for its control, and
also gives an exact copy of the law
creating the State horticultural de-
partment passed by the last general
assembly"

sEAsIcKNEss OR wHATe
A Peculiar Appeal From nm Officer
of the NAVY.


The first instance since the war began
or a naval officer who prefers staying
ashore to going TO sea was presented to
Secretary Long yesterday. The young
man is a graduate of the Naval Academy
and was to be assigned 10 a ship. but he
says he suffers from seasickness to such
an extent that life is miserable the en-
tire time he is cruising.
He comes from Maryland, and perhaps
is not SO anxious to remain on shore as
his mother is to have him. She called in
person yesterday with one of the Mary
land congressman and appealed to Mr..
Long to revoke the orders sending her
son to sea. The Secretary called in Capt.
Crowninshield, chief of the Navigation
Bureau. and directed him TO issue addi-
>tional orders sending the young man TO
sea at once.
There are many officers OF the Navy
who, like the Maryland youth, suffer Sc
verely from seasickness every time they
begin a new cruise. but ii is seldom that
an officer tries 10 get out of his orders on
that account Secretary Long does not
expect to have such another request
made of him while the war lasts. On
the contrary. he is overrun with appeals
from every officer now on shore duty 10
be sent to sea. and the few left are ind
tng difficult time 10 secure berths.

In Madrid martial law rules the press,

and anyone circulating news about war is

may occur. To Americans this Is q
strange spectacle to be presented by the

all new and Miss Gray is an artist.
These two in combination made the
event the finest we have ever had the

The whole affair was gotten up
and managed throughout by the

credit for it's success 1t was the
first time any thing was ever given
in the town which was managed
solely by the girls without any out
side help.

Extension OF the P. v. & c. Railroad
South Assured, and the Effect ON the
MonOngahela Valley.

BROWNSVILLE, Feb. 28.-Now
that the P. v. & G. railroad will GER
tainly be extended up the river within
short time, the question which
arouses the most interest is whether
it will traverse the east side or the
west side of the Monongahela. Ow-
ing to natural advantages and the inn
mense difficulty of construction nee
essary to pass the road Though
Brownsville and Bridgeport, ~ is al
most certain that it will be built on
the west side. A few years will see
the line extended to Charleston, the
terminus originally fixed by the own
ers Of the road. The three towns
will always be an important place on
this direct line to the South. When
transportation shall be thus afforded
for the raw cotton Of the southern
states, the coal and water facilities
of this valley will render it center
for the manufacture Of cotton goods
of every description. Business men
who are thoroughly versed in out
come of freight rates and raw mater
ial do not hesitate to say that West
ern Pennsylvania will one day be the
greatest manufacturing centre in the
world. The completion Of the Lake
Erie and Ohio river ship canal, of the
lP., v. & @. road, and the improve
ments on the Ohio and its tributaf-
| les will prove these men true proph-

The third institute Of Cass District
was held at Vaudeville.
The institute was opened by singing
the "West Virginia Hills" and prayer
by l.. ID. Russell, after which the pro-
gram was taken up and carried out.
A majority of the district teachers and
visiting teachers with the county SUPER
intendent were present andi took great
interest in the subjects chosen for dis
cussion.
The night session was unusually en-
thusiastic OH account of many of the
patrons OF the schools being present,
and showing by their expressions their
interest In educational work and we
hope more OF the patrons as well as the
teachers will become aroused more fully
to sense of their duty in this great
work.
We desire to thank the children, whose
names will appear below for their reci-
tations and songs, which added greatly
to our work: Nettie Stoker, Gale Da-

MILITARY BAND,
Prof. EIlenberger Is Organizing one Of
Forty pieces which will be the finest
I'm the State.


Prof Ellenberger of the Universe
ty school of music is organizing a
military band which will be the
finest in the state and With practice
will be one Of the best in the coun-
try. The band is to consist of forty
or more pieces. There are already
about twenty-five who have signified
their willingness to join. There are
number more who are known to be
ready to join and they will go later.
The band viii be a reed band. Fif-
teen of the pieces in it will be reed
instruments which is a departure
from the accepted forms of military
bands as known here. However this
is said to be quite an advance over
the old form of a cornet band.
The new band will be uniformed
and will later perhaps be furnished
with uniforms. Those who are in
terested in the subject are requested
to see Prof. Ellenberger and talk the
matter over with him. The band
viii be organized and get down to
practice as soon as it can be done.
Morgantown has plenty of good
players and they will soon be to-
gether in one of the best bands that
ever played an instrument.

for 1t.

John NJ. Tough has refused the nOmi-
nation but he may reconsider the de-

of the ticket although EVERYTHING is
Expected to Work out smoothly.
The time for the first election I'M
der the new charter recently granted
to the town Of Seneca has been fixed
by the commissioners, Nicholas
Vandervort, John NJ. Ltugh and
Leopold Sigwart. 1t will be held On
Tuesday, March 81. At this time
there will be elected mayor, re-
corder and five councilmen to serve
the new town as their first set of Off
GERS.
A call will likely be issued in a
few days for mass meeting OF the
citizens of the town to decide on a
ticket that will suit all concerned.
Several informal store box confer
ences have been held and the senti-
ment is nearly unanimous in favor
of John NJ Tough for mayor but he
fatty refused all offers of the honor
However the men interested are in
hopes that he will reconsider his de-
termination and accept the office.
There are many reasons why he is
the best man for the place The
chief one is that he in addition to
possessing all the necessary quail
ties is centrally coated and would
