He attended aervlca in the Mathodiat church here un Sauday even- ing, goiag home as usual, and want to bed iu good time. Shortly afterwards a neighbor woman called and oom plained to his matber that her gate had been car- ried away by Will and another boy and that he had baea telling storiea aboather girls, etc., and after this woman went home the mother went upitairi, waking the boy, aad gave him a souad scolding, which affected him very much, as he was strongly attached to his motherand nevur liked to hart her feelings. Uis feelintis seem to bate bean so worltad up that he could not rest, se he got up out of bis bed and left huuie at about 12 30. He went over to Mr. Olditald's, about a quarter of a mile from home, and took a lantern from their back kitchen, went to the bam and fattened all the doors on the inaida. He then sat down and wrote a letter to his mother, father, friends aud enemiea, saying that he died a broken- hearted boy, and to tell their neighbor woman (naming her) that she or anybody else could talk as much as they liked now. He then requested that bis rin;; be given to his sister Ethel and his watch to his brother Dave, the other things to be divided between the rest of them. He then named six young men whom he wished to set as pallbearers, closing by saying, "This is poor Will's last writing. " He fastened tha letter to the lid of the oat box with tin stamps takou from six plugs of tebacco which be had iu his pock- ets. He also left his watch, ring and lead pencil on the box beside the letter, then be put a long |H>le on some beams up above the floor, over which he threw a rope line, and sisi.ding on a bunch of shingles he fastened tha rope in a loop around his ueck, then atepped off the shinglws and allowed himsrlf to hang there till dead. He was found about 7.30 by Mr. Oldfiold, who quickly summonod Dr. Martin, and upon investigation it was found that his feet were touching tho floor and hi.- head about 18 inches from tha pole. Tbe bunch of shingles was standing close up to his legs, which indi- cates that ho was determined to die. A large number followetl his remains on Tuesday afternoon to Melancthon ceme- tery.

OoUego, who has been abotui for some time makiiiK iuqu:rit;>< iitlo tbe ravages of the army worm iu Haldimau'l and MTellaud, has retiirueil bomu only to tind that tbe pest be was making Imiuiry about bail vi£l«d a cer- tain aectiou of tbe follega ,farm. At first tbere was some doubt about it, but now tbere is nom;. In that neighborhood they are iu uilUuns. For the last two days, es- pecially alter sundown, tbe Duudas load leading to tbe eity is swarming with tbem. Iu the narrow belt they Lave taken for their route oue cannot take a step on the ruad witliout kiir.ug a dox<<n o( them eaob tliuo be puts down his foot. If the inoaots had resobed tbe bill near the oollrge instead of beiug on tie luvrl tlio street oars would have had considerablu difficulty in Roing up tbe incliuo. The od i of the worms thiit hiive been killed ia anything but pleasant. I'rof. I'ttiitdu wiltc's about the worm as fol- lows : There ia no doubt about the " army worm " being in tbe vioijiity of Guelph, and at present we are giving it our attention on the college farm. It appeared bore last Thursd.iy in numbers, but had been seea about a wec<k befuio, and since then Jias be- come very uumerous. Aa the worms are pretty fully dev.fK pod, I think they will vikuish iu a few days, having passed into tbe ground to en -i the pupa stage. Some wh^ob Ibi'dugbt from Wellaud County, with a \iow to etudyii,}; Ibiir bubils, etc., have to. lay (July 13) taruod to pnpa. This morning I diacoTerodoue, at 1 o'clock tbreo, BO that it is likely 1 be peBt will sion end. While iijvcstigating the <1 dJs in \\ lUand I found a fly bad litgnu to lay eggs upon iLe worms; these eggs develop into maggots whiob destroy tbe nimy wo,m. During my examination of tbe worms this mo nlug I found ibis piiras te waa on their trail bei*. t(0, but not iu Bnch uumbera aa I bud ob- served elsewbeie. It is likely ihey have just unived uiui will do good work tbe next few days. 1 might here give tbe life his- tory of the " army worm " (Leuoania uui- puuota) The larva (worm) is about U iiiobea long, of a dull grey color, with blaeii stripes and Hues of black along tbe back. The underside cf the body ia greenish and the bead a pide yellow, with browu Uues on (he aide. Whtn on the nova they arc very active. As soon aa fully devebjpeJ, which takes about three or fonr ireeks, they bur- row into tbe ground and enter the pupa condition; this lasts two weckk, when thu moths appear. The moth is fawn colored, witb a small white Hpot near tbe centre of tho front wings. Tho wiJtb of tho wings when spread is about 1 ^ lucUes. The uotli lays her eggs in tuits of dead gresa, but may be foand upon blades of gri-sa and even upon cornstalks. This insect b.is a prel'tr- ence for grass on low wet soils, but often feeds upon wheat, oats, corn and timothy. It will not tnudb beans, peas or potatoea.and I notice from my feeding cages tbay are not touching turnips aa long as oats arc at hand. Although tbe moth is Keen hum time to time, ye', it ia rarely that tliey reach siicb numbers as to cause alarm. In IH'ji they appeared near Pitrolia and dcetroy.d 30i' acres of oats and 60 tons of bay. The para- site which follows tlipm up aud prej-s ujou them is a large Taeluua fly (Nemaroca len- cani&e). This wiU likely ward oil an attack iu I897. RELlEDIKS. The array worni has many enemies among birds.

Bourreli, a prominent faviut r living near Walkertou, was killed la.st Saturday by a tree falling upon biin. Samuel Curric, Shallow Lake, ai{ed D3, was instantly killed by bein<; run over by a wagon. His neck waa broken. Nelson Gilbert, arrested at C)wt.u Sound oil a cliari^e of stealiu;,; butter, eggs, etc., from fanners, was discharged by the magistrate, there not being sutllc- ient evidence to convict. Qeorue Roller of Allien got drunk on July 13 and drovo his team iiite a gig containing Win. Sirr and his sister. Sirr's back was broken but Miss Sirt es- caped with a sprained ankle. A warraut was issued for Roller's arrest on a chui<;o of doing bodily li.'tnu, but this will likely be changed tu mauslaii^liter, as Sirr can- not live. The t/'ampbellford Herald says : On Monday la.st, Mauler Willie Y'ouiig, 15 years of age, son of Mr. L. O. Y'nung, started off alone on a trip to California. He took the train to DufFalo, and there be will sBciiro a bicyciu and then he^iii the trip of wheeling all tho wa i the liolden St»t»». Ho has a brother resid- ing tbere, who lately lent hiin money and iiiduonced liim to take tho journey. It is hoped tha little adventurer will li;i\e fair sailing the entire clistjincf, and land safely whither his mind has directed biin. A new insect ha« invaded the county of Bruce that is being souiiht fi>r cajjerly by farmers. It battles with potato bujjs and is effectual in driving the pests from the jMitato vines. It first niadu its ap- poarauce in gardens in Johnstown, bu. ia now being Iransplaiitcd into gardens all over the c<iuiilry. It is a diamond sliaft d insect with a long litiak. It makes a liuainess of spearing the potato bu>;a and living on them. It does not harm the vinos. It is gieen iu color. All oxcliaiigo sai's that apploa aro so plentiful a crop in Huron and other western counties that it is fe.ind tlioio will not 1)11 ononi.'h help to handle them at the opportune moHieiit. Mr. D t'aii- toloti estimates that thoi-o will bos'- least &00,C0O barrels in Hutou alone, with similar liuantilies in othtr counties. It will require a t;ond staff of men to handle those when pickiii>; CDranicnce.s, and the Kurop.-an .''teainers cannot take more than forty or fifty thousand barrels in a week. The prcUibilitios are that prices will be about 50o a barrel. An important change has been made in tha laws relating to niarringn, siiid change to take ellect 011 August 1, 18i)8 .
