Tlie Worm NnisancCi
TUo following loiters, mldressed to Dr, William
Shnrswooil, by Professors Haldotnnn and Glover, on
tlie subject that lias bcenmo of much Importance,
Will doubtless prove of Interest and value to the
public welfare, coming, as they do, from acknow
ledged authorities.—X2d. Press.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sir s It should bo distinctly borne In mind, in
goatling the following notes of observations, tun t the
habits of the worm alluded to in the first communi
cation are those or the “ basket worm,” or thoddop
toryx ephemera fortnis, which is the fabricator of
tile cocoons scon dangling from tlio trees throughout
th‘o city i and though included amongst the insects
injurious to foliage, l» not so much of a nuisance as
the “ measuring, or drop worm, - winch has become
tlie post of so large a porlion of tho shade treos of
the city. Bespeclftilly. 17. bit ars wood,

' Dear Sir : I have received the various; novrs
'Minor artieios discussing the “ worms” with which
Philadelphia is afflicted, but as I am not now oocu
nied wiili entomology, and have not studiod tho spo
ols)* In question, I• am not prepared to discuss its
history. Several years ago, when the eocoons wore
being cut from the trees, in the spring, I brought
somo of thorn home for study, but subsortuentiy.ftnd-
Ing them covered with, numerous young lame, I
destroyed them, fearing. that they might bo intro
duced into my own vicinity.
X think, from this superficial inspection, that tho
eggs arc deposited within tho coeoon—an important
point, as it will indicate that tho femalo is wmgloss,’
and does not leavo it,' so that , those who cloar their
own trees of this species need not fear tho moths
from tiioso of their neighbors. Compare Guilding,
on Oikotious, in the Transactions of the Linnsean;
Society, yol. xv., p. 871, 1827.
If 1 had continued my experiment, I would have
endeavored to discover tho ichneumons that destroy
these caterpillars, which, if ascertained, oould .be
readily introduced, as welt as. predaceous. Insoets
wldch prey upon them, such as Qalosomn, &c, .Euro
pean rooks would be 'useful, as mey destroy worms,
are gregarious, build in colonies, and frequently
choose cities for their habitations. Orow-blackbirds
devour worms, but', probably nothing-short of their,
favorite nesting places, the Dombardy poplars,
would attract thorn. .
Hut why should thoso interested not apply for in
formation at tho “ High School 1” an institution
upon which the etty lias peculiar claims, and In
whiclvnatural history has had a prominent place
for twenty or thirty years.
.After moans of prevention, such as cutting down
and burning the eoeoons, (pronounced by ono cor
respondent to bo useless.) tho proposition to collect
and destroy the caterpillars is host whore practi
cable—a mode practiced in France, whore the law
requires it;, to be done., If the caterpillars descend
for tilts purpose of ascending other trees, they may
be prevented in the usual mode—but not by scraping
and whitewashing tho trunks, as in franklin
Square,-Tours. &e., s. S. HAbDE-UAit.

Dear Sir: * ' *' - *. - 1 * " , ’ ■ T
The “ basket worm” or. « thevidopteryx ephemera:
formis,” of Harris,-alluded'to'by Professor Haldc
man, is exceedingly destructive to the foliage ol
forest and trait trees'in this neighborhood (Wash-..
lngton city), but can be easily exterminated by cut-
Unc oft’ every case found upon the deciduous troos
in the winter, when the loaves are fallen. They
may readily be seen, hanging like tho, drops of a
chandelier, upon the leafless branches; when on
evergreens, however, they are much, more difficult
to be discovered. These cases, when collected,
should he burned, as they arc at that time merely
repositories of the eggs that the wingless femalo
hus deposited inside, to the number of six hundrod
to eight hundred in each case. .The female worm
never leaves her case, and the eggs in winter
are ‘ found collected together in a mass at tho
hinder extremity of her body, whilst tho Fore-'
part is filled with "a kind of fine,brown dust or
scales. These eggs hatch in the spring, and the
young worms mako their way out oi a slit in the
upper part of tho thorax (throat) of the (apparent)
chrysalis case of the female, and are carried by the
wind tO'the neighboring trees, which they soon de
foliate, The mnle resembles a small black hair^
:■ moth, or-fly with transparent wings, especially-if,
the dust or scales have been rubbed off. Cedars-in
this neighborhood are very subject to their attaoks.
The true measuring worm, is most probably the
New York measuring worm of Dr. Pitch, and is in
jurious to the foliage of the elm, poplar, linden, &e.
Last year several of these drop-worms were sent
from New York ns the worm which was so trouble
some in the city. The caterpillar was a true looper,
having three pairs of legs in the first three -seg
ments of its body, and only two pairs behind), so
that it moved by bending its hotly into a semicircle,
or rather loop, and when at rest it resembled a’dead
or withering twig, both in shape,'color, and attitude.
The chTysafis was formed ln?a loose web, and the
Sorfect moth is of a white color; when alive slightly -=
nged with green.- Perhaps a strong decoction
of quassia or aloes, mixeef with soapsuds, might
tender the foliage so. distasteful to the worms
that they would not cut it. Tobacco water.
has been used for the same purpose, but-their num
bers appear as yet undiminisKcu. Fumigation with
sulphur has also been applied 5 and bands of paper
or linen; with tar on the outside, bound round the
trunks, would only prevent tlie caterpillars when
thrown to the ground from reascending the tree.
Insectivorous birds ought to be encouraged in our
great cities, especially where there are many shade
frees. Squiireh should be banished, as they destroy
multitudes of both young and old birds. This wo
found out by accidentally presenting a dead bird to
n tame gray squirrel we bad, which was immediately
seized and devoured., .The ihiropean house sparrow \
lives in cities, and • is- said to be very destructive to
insects, although it la true that grain and small
fruits in -the - neighborhood of 'towns and vil
' lages suffer from its predatory attacks, and it
is found principally in: ; and near towns,-breed
ing in liolcs in the wftfla and under eave 3, thronging
the housetops and crowded streets, even in tho midst
of the smoke and dirt of -London, where it feeds upon
whatever it can pick up in the street, principally
upon the grains remaining undigested in the manure
dropped by horses.* Nodoubt it would thrive in our
cities likewise, if].he cold winters were not too se
vere for it. Before the sparrow is imported for the;
purpose ofdestroyingcaterpniara,however, it would
be well to have all the advantages and ■disadvantages
thoroughly discussed and settled) so as not to intro
duce n new noxious bird. ' .
The European robin redbreast is also very tame,
and has a delightful song, but might prove too deli
-• cate here. .•' '
, Any service I can render yon shall bo done with
pleasure. If you will forward specimens of the
worms to the Department of Agriculture I will en
deavor to trace out its habits and instincts, so as to
find out what can be done to abate this nuisance.
I hope to be in Philadelphia in about two or three
weeks, and shall -do myself the pleasure of visiting
you in order to learn more about these insects,- and
In the meantime remain your obedient servant,

City Hallways ts. 'i’Ueir Patronage,
To the Editor of The Press:
Sib: The presidents of the city railways hare de
clared that the public shall pay six cents a ride, and
nine cents with an exchange ticket. These railroad
companies first engineer fco themselves the stock
valued bytliem at three times the costof road and fix
tures, and then furnish accommodations or seats for
only two-thirds the passengers, while the other third
must stand In' or outside the car, producing enor
mous receipts, from $25 to $35 per day to each car.
The railroad presidents are not satisfied with this 5
are about to .try how much the public will stand—
for they, the public, have-.either to stand or walk.
One writer says walk, but I say different. The
streets of Philadelphia are' for the public good, and
. city railways are a great convenience, nnd no one
company can expect to occupy a street to the ex
clusion of all others. Now, two lines on the same
Street will accommodate the public..much better
thnn one: the new line can straddle one rail of the
old line. All the ears moving.the same way, at regu
lated speed, will not Interfere with or obstruct each
other. The only sure protection against imposition
is to let in competition, and every additional -rail
-laid in a street improves said street. Then, why not
give the right to new, companies, that will agree to
charge five cents for a ride, and eight cents with an
exchange ticket good on any‘day'l To lay, a second
track on each street can accommodate two lines as;
well as one, and these railroad presidents be made to
see it is more their interest to accommodate than to
‘qxtoxt, and that the public are not depending on
them alone.

Change of Currency on Passenger Cars.
To the Editor of the Tress :
Sm: There is reported, in your Issue of this morn
ing, a case where change was refused for a; teia-cent
note on one of the passenger-railway cars, and where
the passenger, not’ giving a'cent additional to ena
ble the conductor to make even change, was ejected
from the car.
.Has a conductor on any public conveyance any
legal right to refuse change under such circum
stances ?
Is not a forcible ejectment, under such circum
stances, assault and battery, and indictablo as sueh.l
Are not railway corporations bound in law to make
change if they exact a fare exceeding five and less
than ten cents, or any like fare 1
Information on these points is earnestly requested.

'Politeness at tbe Fair.
To ike Editor of The Press:
■•Sir: Saturday morning, while the ladies were
kindly and»{as usual with our Philadelphia ladies)
<*-,Jndefatigably atiendingtotheirduties,self assumed,
and attentively carried throughwith, a printed no*.
tice was handed to the chairman of each, subcom
mittee, requesting in a very peremptory manner
that the ladies in attendance would pfease not make
use of the,privileges granted them In their season
tickets, and not lounge Ground the picture gallery,"
floral department, and other places of interest, to
the exclusion of other guests! '
A. very pleasant, kind, and polite way of treating
ladies whoso, hands, and heaus have boen husy for
months past, : working with the strength of as many
Hercules early and later Where, Mr. Chairman,
would your Sanitary Fair be if the ladies had been
lounging then! where would it bo now if they
choose to treat you as you deserve, to leave you to
yourself and guests 1 If you were to ask pardon on
your bended knees of them for this insult, it would
not be 'a sufficient expiation. You have done a
very generous thing in granting tickets for three dol
lars to those who have given time and strength to
get up this vast and elegant offering to the cause.
You have done a truly great thing in addressing
those thus henofltted, commanding them not to
make use of your kindness. Make another effort to,
add to your great littleness. .

To the Editor of The Tress:

visiting the Great Sanitary Fair, oxcopt as waiters

-I do not believe that the respectable committee

. MISCELLANEOUS.
BAD THOUGH IKTEBESTIXO IKOtBEHT.
The Kev. John' Monteith, Of the Euoiid-streot
Presbyterian Church, Cleveland, Ohio,-went to the
army os a delegate of the Christian .Commission.
He came back. yesterday, bringing with him .from
the front about $6,000 in money, eight watches, and
a large number of daguerreotypes, photographs,
&0., or the mothers, sisters, sweethearts, &e., taken
in large part by himself personally from the dead
and tho dying, for the purpose of being transferred
into the bands of their Mentis at-home.'These pack
ages lmveateesdly been, forwarded to their.various
destinations. \ .
One of tho cases coming under tho observation of
Mr, Monteith was that of a lieutenant of the. 14th,
New Jersey Regiment, who had been shot in one
.cheek, the ball coming ont on the other side. His
tongue, and iaw, and teeth wore thrown intooneun
distlnguishabio mass in his mouth, so that he eould
take no nourishment whatciyer. Pipes, which were
procured from the surgeon,-failed of their office.
Anindla rubber injection syringe from the store of
the Christian Commissionwas finally nsed success-:
ftiliy. With it the Wounded man was furnished:
with food and drink necessary for tho sustenance of
life. Mr. Monteith sayswhen I want to take'
the syringe away he grasped it firmly and refused
to havo it removed. No arguments availed any-'
thing, and not being able to speak, ho wrote on a
Biecc of paper, ‘ I will not giro it up ; Iwillkeepit
'it costs me five hundred; dollars.. God Moss the
Christian Commission.’ This man was sont North
-alive." - : --.j ,
.. Sometimes the sadness which generally prevails,
among the wounded and dying is banished oj a lu
dicrous incident. An Irishman who had been fatally'
wounded was: advised by tho surgeon to give his
effects to a Christian Commission delegate near by,
He pulled out his razor, and asked, comically, “If
ho would send that home to the ouid womanl”
“Yes.” said the delegate. Noxtcame out his glasses,
and then $17.06, of which one dollar was
these things he wanted sent. -But when the delegate
went to take them, ho askodhim to “ Wait a bit.
These doctors arc not always right. Yese botther be
aftber seoing whether I’m going to die or not ”

■ Whereas, More than three years have passed away
since the most fearful National calamity came upon us
like a mighty, crushing avalanche, that this fair earth
has ever witnessed: cold-blooded traitors were found,
armed to the teeth, for the destruction of our fair fabric,
theUuion. ; A-rebellion the most unnatural and un-
CQUidled that heaven, earth, or hell has over known
(except that of tho arch Semi, tho dovii, when ho re
belled againstthe authority of Oodhimsolf iuHeaveu)
was discovered, aud that rebellion has continued una
bated, to a greater or Uss degree, up to the present
time; and even now is raging In all Its fearfulness, in
soino of tho fairest portions of ouronce united and hap
py country. ~ .
And tvhenas, This R. W.. Grand Body has, year after,
year, dedarul its oternal adherence to tho principles
of the Constitution aud the Ooveramont of this great
and glorious Uulou, and its members demonstrated that
adherence by the sacrifice of untold blood, and tears,
aml treamire; therefore, do we once again
. Resolve, That; no .matter what the cost, this Union,
must .and shall be prescivcd.
That while we have continued and un
shaken confidence in the wisdoin.and integrity of our
Chief Executive and- his Cabinet, and also our noble
officers and men,, yet beyond and far above these, our
confidence is strongest and our reliance the firmest ou
thatGodof battles, who always gives victory to tha
right, and who, 1 wo, tmst, will speedily ** Grant” us
our ** Meade 5 ’ of conquest, ami restore unto us a righte
ous andan houorable peace.
: Resolved, That innemuch as it is one of the funda
mental principles of the Most Eternal, that the Almighty
only helps those who help theraseivos,-\ve will snow
our faith by our works, by doing ail in our power, and
by making every sacrifice for so very dcsirobiean issue.

PICKING THE POCKET OF A JUDGE, AND WHAT CAME
A young man, named David McFarland, was tried
yesterday on an indictment charging him with having
picked the pocket of Judge Oswald Thompson, of the
Court of Common Fleas. The Judge, it seems, uad ea
tered a Pine-ttreet caron an evening a few weeks since,
to proceed to his home. He seated himself, took out his
pocket-book, and raid his fare, and in a short,time the
ear was.stopped in front of hisresidence,. when he start
ed for the door. The Judge recognized the defendant as
the person who stood at the door, with two or three oth
ers on the platform outside, making it difficult for pas
sengers to get out. The defendant, when, the Judge
reached-the door, crowded unnecessarily close to him,
acting *pparentiy in concert with those on the platform.
After considerable trouble the Judge finally got.off the
car, hot suspecting in the least; however,'that ail: the
crowding and pressing he had been subjected to was for
the purpose of robbing him, orthat he had been robbed.
Detective Henderson was in the car: had seen, the trans
action, and Immediately upon the exit of Judge Thomp
son, arrested the defendant aud|two or three of Ills com
rades. It. was not uutil the next morning, when the
Judge was informed by Mr, Henderson of the arrest,
that upon feeling for his pocket-book he discovered that
it was missing. His watch guard was also brokdn. The
jury rendered a verdict of guilty.' McFarland was sen
tenced to eighteen months in the County Prison.
- He made quite a bold attempt to escape when iheyan
in which he was brought from prison reached the court
house: When the door was opened, he stooped and
sprang out beneath the arm of the officer who was hold
ing it and made off, and it was only after a brisk chase
of eevehri squares that he was captured by Officer May
bew and led back much blown and very much cha
grined. - ■—
Two or three assault and battery cases were thenlried
when the court adjourned. :
