Kill the Forest Worms.

1t is suggested that people owning
maple or other trees subject to injury by
the forest caterpillar, which did so much
mischief hereabouts last spring, may
now possibly take the saving stitch in
time. The eggs hatch early, but are yet
on the twigs of the trees and may be
easily destroyed so far as they can be
reached. They are usually on twigs a
quarter of an inch in diameter or less and
the brown mass made by deposit looks
Ike "swollen' place in the limb.
They may be easily dislodged with a
knife, and can be burned. In many
cases it appears that some natural enemy
has attacked the eggs, as the mass is
loosened aud apparently Destroyed

History of BrattlebOrO.

Rev. Lewis Grout has done valuable
service in gathering up the material for
lis "Monograph on the Origin and Early
>fe of Brattleboro" and putting it in
available and permanent form in neat
pamphlet of 32 pages. He begins with
the earliest historical times, when the
Squakheag Indians owned and occupied
all the region, and then traces its
gradual development into the ways of
organized life and civilization. These
facts include the original charter of the
town to Col. William Braitle and his
associates, the controversy with New
\ ork, the earliest settlements. and the
final organization of town government.
Later pages give the first authentic list
of men who lived in the town, and tell
where many of them lived, where houses
stood, roads ran, etc. The thread of
local history is sustained, and finally
there is suitable reference to the condi-
tions of life in those early times.

Forest Worms Coming.

Those who have been watching
anXiously for the advent of the little
caterpillar which did so much damage to
apple and other trees last year are
satisfied that the worms have decided to
remain another season in Vermont. A
Free Press representative in Winooski
was shown an appletree twig upon
which were seen hundreds of miniature
worms as large around as small twine
and measuring possibly an eighth of an
inch in length. They are built and look
precisely as the army worm which
bothered so much last year. They
crawled out of hard brown cocoon or
nest laying close to the bark and hard
ly distinguishable except upon close in
spection. The worms were very much
alive and appeared foraging for leaves
which were not. The immense number
of worms which appeared last year
leaves little room to doubt that they Will
be upon us soon in full force unless
promptly treated.-Free Press.

WEATHER-CROP REPORT.
The First Bulletin Reports Conditions
Favorable in Most Localities.

The First Bulletin Reports Conditions
Favorable in Most Localities.
The past week has witnessed a decided
Improvement in conditions, although the
season Is yet considerably behind the
average. In the three northern states
snow has disappeared rapidly under the
influence of warm, sunny days, and,
except in the extreme northern counties
of these states, fields are for the most
part bare. Maple sugar, one of the
staple products, and source of consider
able revenue, suffers great reduction
this season. Numerous correspondents
report it a complete failure, and the gem
eral opinion seems to be that the yield Is
but half pound to pound per tree.
a few unfavorable grain reports are at
hand, but the general opinion is that all
winter grain came through in good con-
dition. Rye, especially, is starting ia
good shape. Sowing of oats is going on
quite generally in Connecticut, and to
some extent in Massachusetts. Taken as
a whole, the prospect at this date for the
cereal crop is bright.
Grass wintered well, having had a
ROou SuOW pTOleCtlOu. DOIne COTTeSpODu-
ents report it as starting slowly, but
the great majority speak of it as coming
forward quite fast during the past few
days. 1t will require rain soon.
Peaches are apparently all killed, the
winter weather having been too severe.
The present showing of blossom buds of
all other fruits denotes full bloom.
Cherry and pear buds are swelling, and
currants are leafing out. Strawberries
on some lands where not well covered
have been killed, but for the most part
the beds are looking well. Cranberry
bogs have been under water all winter,
and the water is not yet drawn off.
Potato planting is general in the south,
and an increased area is observable. Early
vegetables are being put In rapidly, and
some early cabbage has been set in
Rhode Island. Vegetables under glass
are flourishing; except tomatoes, which
are late.

May Sue For His Fee.

New York, Oct. IA special to the
Times from Washington says: sug-
gestion was made today of the possibility
that a diplomatic officer of the United
States might have to be employed to
collect a lawyers fee for an ex- x-prcsident
of the United States. The situation it
was admitted, would be unprecedented if
it presented itself, but it is not thought
likely that it will. The fee involved, so
it is reported, is $4,000 promised by the
present Venezuelan government to Ban
janin Harrison for his services as legal
counsel of the Venezuelan republic before
the Paris arbitration commission It was
suggested. that in the event of the tri-
umph of the insurrectionists in Vene-
Zueia, now almost at the gates of the
capital city, Caracas, the obligation of
the preceding adminstra ton might be
repudiated, inasmuch as the benefits de-
rived by Venezuela from the award are
doubtful. In this case state department
officials are of the opinion that the debt
would be regarded as one Of honor part
ly on account of Mr.. Harrison's high posi-
tion as the former chief executive of Il
republic whose good offices We're alone
responsible for averting war, and secur-
ing arbitration for Venezuela.

A NEW DANGER.

London, Oct. $50 far as facts go, the
commencement of actual hostilities be-
tween Great Britain and the Transvaal
seem no nearer. although it must be ad-
mitted a new element of danger has
arisen in the evaporation caused
throughout the British colonies in South
Africa by stories of brutal trea tment Of
refugees by Beers. Whether correct or
not the reports of outrages upon women
and children are being accepted in many
quarters hitherto incredulous, as con-
tirming the anticipations of savagery that
will mark the progress of the war. Dis
patches from the front are mostly con-
cerned with movements Of troops. There
are several reports that the Beers are
increasingly restless under restraint and
because of imperfect provision for their
welfare. 1t is said they have threatened
either to raid or return to their homes.
Kruger, however, appears to have reiter.
ated his orders commanding the exercise
of restraint. The British and Beers are
so close together along the western from
tier of the Transvaal that their patrols

From CapetoWn comes curious state.
ment that many officials of the TransvaaI

State have gone to Cape colony. The exc.
dus Of Cape Dutchmen toward the Trans.
