MINOR IMPROVEMENTS.—The pain ters have just put the last touches on Pierce Musser's mansion. A splendid new fence has also been built around the house. J. W. Snook and Jacob Gepliart jiave built good plank walks along their premises on North street. Mr. Gepliart also planted a very fine row of shade trees. These add so much to the beauty and Comfort of a home or a town that our council should encour age theft planting by a premium in the shape of an abatement of tax for every tree planted that grows. What say you, gentlemen, to our suggestion. —A man who firmly believes that a second flood will come next Novem ber to cover the whole face of the earth is building an ark at Helena, Texas.

A farmer informs us that' one out of every eight stalks in his field has been destroyed by the in sect. The worm, which bears resem blance to the wire Worm, was never known to attack tho grain before, and where it comes from is a mystery. 1 . i * —Last Sunday a terrific storm came up between 2 and 3 o'clock in the after noon, which did considerable damage. I There was not much rain but the wind was a hurricane. A large number oft trees wbfe blown down or limbs broken from them. A large portion of the northeast corner of thp.roof of the Presbyter ian cliiirch in this place was blown off and the top part of the church spire Was bent. Throughout the northern and northwestern part of our county there was much damage done. We learn also that a number of buildings in process of erection at Mil toil were blown down aud much injury done in other parts of Northumber land county.— Letcisburg Chronicle. Ye ancient borough ot Northumber land promises to be a live tclyh after all, and perhaps at 110 very distant day, for the ladies are taking a hand at fiuv ther phbUq phterprises. . Four of them Ua.ye "succeeded in rh'isiiffc money enough to buy a hook and ladder ap paratus. When this much was done the gentlemen gallantly stepped in and relieved them from further responsi bilit), and perhaps embarrassment, by organizing a company to run the ma chine.—Democrat. There now, that's it. Let the ladies of Millheim do likewise. Let them take the projected Hook& Ladder com pany in hand and something may come out of it. At least we fear that noth ing practical will result from the effort here made as long as men have charge of It. SENSIBLE (IFTFAINANCE.—RecentIy the town conncil ot Lewisburg passed the following seasonable ordinance. All boroughs should take similar ac tion. No good reason can be assigned why an entire town should be endang ered to indulge careless of a few per soW£: "On motion, unanimously resolved by the Burgess qM Town Council of the Iwrough of Lewisburg, that the Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart ment be authorized and empowered to examine all flues and stove pipes in the borough and to compel the correction where in his opinion dangerous; and that he be authorized to order the dis continuance of all open fires that in his estimation are dangerous; and tliat said Chief Engineer be empowered to have all the landings of, said borough opened and cleared of all dtst ructions and kept iu good repair." . „ Communicated. THAN&S I It would be an act of injustice on our part if we failed to ackuowledge the rare treat of which Aasonsburg was so recently the recipient. Just as the sua was passing from view last Saturday evening the quiet of out burg was plea santly broken by souDds of sweet mu sicapproaching.; „ .... 5 We readily distinguished them as coming from the Millheim Cornet Band which in itself sent a thrill through fevery one and a delightful time. Nature seemed in syridpathy with our anxious hearts, and the majestic tread of "Old Sol" towards the West ern horriZoD, the moon slowly pound ing into sight arid the evening song of the birds formed excellent accompan iments to the sweet strain* that were wafted to our ears. The visitS of this band to our town are so few that we hail each one of them with delight. The band is at present under the ef ficient leader-ship of Dr. John F. Har ter, and the manner, in whiqh they rendered their music last Saturday evening is a compliment to blip as a leader japil a great credit to the baud, generally. The hand; we are proud to state, is entirely free from debt and they are starting now on a new basis. The object of their late visit was part ly, to raise money for purchasing new music, as they intend hereafter to buy printed music. We hope they will be careful in selecting their new music and endeavor to get something of a high order, for they have given ample proof of their competency to render the pest music to the full satisfaction of the sincerest lovers' and critics of the "Art Divine." We are not prepared to say bow thriy succeeded here financial ly, btit vfre wish them well in their laudable efforts arid shall look forward with pleasure to mafly more visits from ttfem. Quis.

QUICK WORK.—Divid Keller's barn, at Boalsburg, which had been destroy ed by fire last winter or spring, is be ing rebuilt. Mr. 11. K. Luse, of Mill* heim,'ls the boss carpenter. It is 100 by 50 feet in size, with buggy shed at tached and is now ready for tho recep tion of hay and grain and the stabling of horses-all of which was done in 18 days by 6 hands—equivalent to 103 single days. The barn was raised, June 10th in 3$ hours—a shorter timo I than we ever heard of a barn being raised iu. Mr. Irvin Leech was pres. dnt to help.

REBUILDING MILTON.—A Milton correspondent of the Williamsport Ga zette and Bulletin says, "the process of rebuilding will be slow and tedious, on account of so much time being re quired to remove the debris, restore the foundations and get new material on the ground. Temporary light frame buddings are springing up all around on the ruins for shops and places of business, until better ones can be bnilt. The sound of the saw, the hammer and the trowel are heard on eveiry hand, giving evidence of the pluck and enter prise of the people, and it is predicted that in a few years Milton will be en tirely rebuilt and haudsomer than be fore." The correspondent adds that 640 buildings of all descriptions were de stroyed and that a majority of the own ers had nq insurance. Many people lost all, including clothing, provisions and household goods. Many of .the in surance eompanies are paying up man* fully and justly but some are holding back disgracefully. The grim ruins qf of the churches are still standing un touched. The Methodists hold their meeting id a huge canvass tent. The other congregations have obtained tem porary quarters in portions of the town not destroyed. The total amount of voluntary cash contributions it is supposed will reach to $75,000. The amount of contributions in clothing and provisions is not as yet known. The people are represented to be pro foundly grateful for the assistance they have received: THE MILLEII MURDERERS, George Smith and Catharine Miller, now in the Williamsport jail, were sentenced to be hung by Judge Cummin on FrU day last. Last Week's Sun publishes aii interview with Smith and Mrs. Mil let on the 4th inst. in which occurs the following: "When asked to tell the truth and the whole tiuth as to what part the colored man, John Brown, took in the murder of Miller, Smith said that Brown was present and helped to kill and hang Miller. This, he added, 'is God's truth.' And then by the way of explanation, life &M that he had been told that it would make it all the worse for him andJMrs. Miller by having the negro up in | the murder, and that was what iudu ced him t to refrain fiom implicating Brown further than he did. ** Mrs. Miller S&id she thought Brown was | present the p'igh't, of the murder and helped to, kill Miller, although she I didn't see him; that she didn't see him for a long time- before, but that Brown had often wanted to kill Miller and . said that he intended to do s6' some time." —'The Itelxrsbiirg Select School re opens Tuesday, July 20th, next, and continues ten weeks.

R using Whkatv-A .correspond ent pyrites from York, l'a., to the Haxrisburg Patriot the following inter esting account of a successful wheat grower, and how he goes about it: Near this borough is the farm of Mr. J. M. Tletges, ode of the most success ful wheat growers on this continent. Ou one piece of land he has raised wheat seven yeirs in succession, in cluding the present growing crop, which, competent judges say, will yield sixty bushels to the acre. Your correspondent took a look at the wheat Wednesday afternoon and must con fess it is the best he has ever seen. Mr. Ileiges has several different varieties growing, and all that he would part with was disposed of to United States Commissioner of Agriculture, Le Due, on the occasion of his visit bere this week. The price of wheat in this market this week is about sl.lß per bushel, but Mr. 11. averaged more than double that fot all he sold, llis suc cess in wheat raising is accounted for by the fact that he manures liberally with a compound of potash, plaster, and salt (400 pounds to the acre); that he'thoroughly pulverizes his soil; puts the seed in the ground about one-halt an iuch deep, in rows about twelve inches wide, and spaces of ten or elev-' ei\ Incjies between for cultivation with horse and cultivator. I counted the product of one grain by this pro-i cess, and found forty-eight stalks,' with a developed head on each stalk, growing from it. The largest crop of wheat Mr. Ileiges has ever raised from one acre of ground was something over seventy-one bushels,,. The two prin cipal varieties he is "growing this year are the Mold and the Ileiges Prolific. The latter was ripe enough to cut, and one of his neighbors, a Mr. Iloke, bad his crop of the Vauie variety already cut and in sheaves. I think any far mer who wants to learn something ol great practical value about wheat rais ing can pick up more op this farm in one day than he could in any other way in a month. DIED.
