Editors Citizen : Allow me a small space in your largely circulated .paper to state that I have recently discovered a vein of. specular iron, lead and silver, and also one of gold and copper on Paw-raw Creek in Madison county, on the lands of H 15. Kiddle. The ores are louna in flint quartz , J. McF. Hudson, M. E. The grand jury, Mr. R. C. Clayton, foreman, has been a very busy body this week, and have lost no oppor tunity to "enquire into and due presentment make" of any and all ofleners "against the peace and dig nity of the State." The arduous duties of ihe week have kept the gentlemen ngh t closely " conhned, but, they have not suffered for the necessaries of life during this time. Fruit has gone up by the basketful, and big baskets at that, and paper bags of good things from the grocers', and the jury wo.uld enquire and eat. It being a sort of close communion affair the reporter was not allowed to see all that was . in the basket, and, knowing the gentlemen com posing the body we would scorn to suggest there was any thing under the apples 'in the basket. They performed their duties well,' any way, and we hope enjoyed their stay. Thb New Town of Whittier. . We are not in the.habit of seeing new towns spring up in a night, like Jonah's gourd. Our ' towns have been planted, and they creep, and they gradually become something with the rest of time corroding their tardy progress. The railroads are changing all this; and a vitality has been imparted to all the towns west of the Ridge which is maryellous. We ' learn. tBatthe new town of Whittier in Swain county promises to realize all" the anticipations' of its proiector. The first thing to do was to provide building materials. The forests were there, but there was no lumber. Now streets are being laid off and graded. A large steam saw mill, a wagon factory, furniture, &c, is to be constructed by a joint Stock company. As soon as lumber is prepared,- lrom 30 to fifty dwell ings, and iu or twelve stores win pe immediately erected. Roads are be- ing graded at au sections, a very im portant one to Franklin. : Large tracts of land are being cleared for tobacco and fruit. . - We are indebted to Mr. Natt Atkinson, Jr., . for our present in formation. ' : Dr. James F, Hibbard, of Rich mond, Ind.,; arrived at ; the Eagle Hotel yesterday to visit Mr: Furgu son, of that place, who has been ill here for some ' days, lie w;as ac companied by Mrs. Furguson. We are glad to learn that Mr. Furguson is somewhat improved. - . . ; " Mr. Pleas Israel says he will have a half dozen ears of; com -at the Citizen Corn Contest, on the 7th of November, Saturday next, and 6ays he will take the premium, too, There ace to be b& ears,' the corn to be shelled and weighed, . and the heaviest corn from the six ears -to take the premium.;- Remember the time, and ltt us have a lively, corn test. ' "V-. ;.- r Remember, the Citizen offers ten dollars in gold, to be given the pro ducer in Western Carolina or East Tennessee who obtains the highest price for tobacco on any warehouse floor in Asheville during this 'sea- ' son, Several citizens ' have sugges ted that a good fund be raised to supplement the. Citizen premium for the same purpose, and expresses a readiness to contributethereto. Capt. McBee and Col. Turk were in the city last night, having -come up to Jookafter the damage by the rains.

'f-V-fp''l . The offerings at the Asheville and the Farmer' War shouees yesterday were light. Good breaks at the Bun combe and Banner warehouse. A large proportion of the leaf was " of a nondescript character, being scraps and odd lots brought in by the farmers. The buyers wre not enthusiatic in the bidding, on ac count, doubtless, of the character of the stock onered. The Buncombe warehouse sold 52001bs for $470.00 an average of 8icts per pound. In this there was only a light sprink ling of good tobacco. The Banner Warehouse sold about same amount with quality, of - stock and prices ranging higher. Mr. J. G. Sams, of Cocke County T.enn. sold five lots at an average ot 14cts. W. B. Pickens of Cocke County four lots at an average of 15cts Payne & Rogers of Sandy Mush, three at lycts. Abel King of Sandy Mush four lota at 16cts. A. E Ingle, of Emma, six lots at 12cts. Barnett & Perry 'of Homi ny four lots at 15cts. W. "M. Buck- ner, ol lirantvuie, seven lots at lbcts, B. F. Wilson Stockville, four lots at 18cts. Mr. B. Buckner of Grantville sold four lots which averaged 17cta. Mr. B. had only the most inferior grades and scraps and that all of his sixteen barns yet to be sold -is better than what he sold yesterday. We noticed that the lollowmg gen tlemen from Hay woddcounty had to bacco on the floor at the Buncombe; B. F. Clark, J. F. Edwards, Silas Green, Washington Mease, T. C. Heuaon and Miles Robinson. Battery Porter Hotel. Col. Frank Coxe reached the city yesterday ,"and to-day the work of locating lines- for excavation will be done, and excavation begin at once. The hotel will be located upon the very top of the hill, thus . securing full view or the entire surrounding mountains, which from this point is pre-eminently grand. We have seen the ground plan of the building, prepared by Messrs. Hazelhurst and Huckel, architects, of Philadelphia. The whole plan will be here in a few days, when we. will give a full des cription of the mammoth building. The expenditure of from $120,000 to $150,000, as is contemplated by Col. Coxe, will transform the old Battery hill into the moBt attractive point in the South. The Rain Did comparatively little damag to the Railroad, considering th quantity of water which fell, and all will be remedied to-day. - Only "a few hours' delay was caused on the main line. " On the Murphy line several slides and washouts occur red, which prevented the passage of trains through yesterday. AH will be right by this evemng. Lost or Stolen, .,.

The commissioners ;" of, Winston have passed an. ordinance making it obligatory .on property owners to pave with brick the streets in front of their property, in the central part of the town. . If the owner does: not do it in a prescribed time, the work is done by the town at the expense of the owner, and should payment be refused it is collected out of the property; - .;;; that looks like something ! .

THE PEACH BARK BEETLE. .Ciiapkl IfiLt, N,.C, Oct 28th, 1883. Many of tbe peach,, plana and cherry trees at this place are infested, irith a minute, cylindrical beetle, of a dark brown color, about 1 lGand 1 10 inches in length, and 1 23 inches, in diameter. Observations made upon, a 1 number of peach trees indicate that about ttrortbirds of them are affected more or less,o(n very badly ; while as a rule every dead peach tree shows marks pi their having been present. '; 7 '"' :"' . During tbe fall of the year the ?feinal beetle bores a. cylindrical hole in ! the bark just large enough to permit -f her passing into it The bole is from J to-1 inch in length and usually parallel with the grain. 'In this passage, which . is called the "main gallery," the beetle de- poaita a few eggs, and usually retreats' to the entrance where se remains ' block -. istgnpijie paasaga to preivenk other lo sects from destroying her; eggs, or young-. Mhny times she remains here to die, and soon being attacked by a fungus growth completely blocks the entrance even in death. When the eggs hatch the young larvae, or grubs, begin toeed Upon the inner layer of the bark, thus cutting off the flow of the sap. , Each bores a cylin drical, sinuous passage which enlarges', with the increasing size of the borer. . Entomologists call this beetle - Fhloeo tribns liminaris (Harris.) ' About five years ago quite - a scare existed among the peach growers in parts of the State of New York because of the damage done by this insectr1-". Whole crcharda were destroyed. ' It was estimated that it required about two to-three years for these beetles to kill a tree when once at tacked. , I wish to call the attention of the fruit growers of the State, or any one interes ted in the subject, to this matter, thai it may be known how general and injurious are the ravages of this beetle. By exam ining closely the limbs and trunks of af- fected peach and cherry trees, from ' one to lour inches m diameter, to a- Bmall holes can be Been, some times with -gun exuding. If the tree has .been, affected for a j ear or two. by shaving . fT the bark carefully the white grub-like larvae -can be seen. : . : . Rxuidiks. Prof. C. V. Riley, of the from his experience with other borers of this family, feels "satisfied that a good coating of a mixture of lime, BUlphnr and pans green will protect a neathy' tree . that is not yet attacked.- aa lone as the coatinglasts.'.' .. ; ,-:v.l . ,i ..; A coating of gas tar was suggested by one who had used it with peroct success iu aestroying otner borers. ,, -.r From my own observations I wonldr suggest in addition to the above ?me dies, the cutting down and burning all badly infested trees or limbs. The. cus tom, generally sancbsed to be economic. of using dead nortiona tit- fruit tmM for pea brash." I rfigardas arniciou It . would be safer, and far cheaper inhe end to obtain healthy brush from forest , trees. .'. .... I should esteem'anv. information from' diffeient sections of the State in .regard ' to the extent and injuries of this ; insect a great favor. .: -. : Gix. F. AtrTJiSflw; ' Disaster on the Ohio.
