remedies for the expulsion of the yellow- bug
froni “pumpkin vines,” Ac , are rccomraciided
by C. E. Goodrich, Utica, X. Y. One morn
ing, a few days ago, I discovered an army of
them among my earliest cucumber vines, and
to my regret, in one nights time had them com.
pletely destroyed, without exception of one
solitary stock. About 20 feet from tliis patch
I had another of about one week’s later planting
upon which the “varmints” had also coiiimcuccd
“trying their toctii.” I immediately .w'ciit to
work, and witli a board about 14 inches long
and S wide, con.striicted “dirt mounds,” (as di
rected in the article referred to,) and to my
great relief, those hills thus treated still look
fine and are doing well. I feel fully compen.sa-

for the knowledge of the above remedy. Try

Ux-iccOMMODATiXG.—The following hmiiorous
incident lately happened in one of our western
towns :—
A teamster drove np to the door of one of Uie
principal hotels, and asked for lodging for him
self and horse. The landlord could not ac
commodate him, every bed in the house being
taken up.
“AFell,” said the teamster, “I am not at all
particular. I ivHl put up ivitli a part of a bed
for the night.”
“Part of a bed ! replied the liost, “why, my
dear sir, there is not a bed in the inn that has
not two m it already, and in some three, and
four ”
“AVell, can’t yon let me sleep in that ’are
parlor?”
“Xo ; we are going to make up scveiiteen
beds there to-night, and they arc all eiin-ai.'ed.’l
Weil, there, that’s curious. Can’t you give
me a buffalo skin, and let mo lay here in the
entry ? I shan’t discommode nobody,”
“Xo ; I shan’t have you in the entry. AVe
.shall be up all liiglit, and I don’t want any folks
clattering and sprawling about the floor where
.people are passing all the time.”
“AVell, you arc an accommodating fellow,
.anyhow, I don’t think,” said the teamster,—
“AVoiider if you’ve got a tavern license !

Carroll county, Rev. Joseph Barclay' w'as found

marriage to Elizabeth Sharp, and mulcted in

Heaven, he set about his work of destruction,
and by pravers and great professions of right

the path of virtue, and accomplished her rum
and deserted her.

Know you a man w'hosc early life
Had little promise but of care;

Of joyfulness and tears;

And wishes strife and warlike frays
Had ceased to cause mankind despair?
That man deserves your praise.

Xot seeking to blaze forth his name.
At every rich man’s door,
AVho daily doeth good by stealth,
In many different kindly ways ?
That man has lofty moral health—
That man deserves your praise.

line of road. It will unite with bands of iron
Charleston and the Coal Fields, Fayetteville,

Kansas travelling public a hcalthy
chcap and expeditious line of travel.
I feel a deep interest in the success of this
scheme, and wish I could present its claims in
such a light as to induce others to take hold
and baild the road. It will pass through a sec
tion of country abounding in wealth and intel-
li-'cnce, and well adapted to the production of
cotton and corn, and naval stores of every de
scription.
I call upon the citizens of Charleston to cx-
amine this subject, assured that if they will aid
the work they will be met by the citizens along
the line with the liberality that should char
terize a people interested
