The "borer," a pest about the size of a small strawberry, is workinp grreat havoc anion? the oyster beds in IVla ware bay and tributary streams, says the I'hiladelphia Idper. Capt. Moses Veale, of the oyster schooner White Lily, says that the de structive powers of the "lorer" have leei known to oystermen only a few vears. He had followed oyster dipping for nearly thirty-live years, ana me first "Hrer" he saw was about ten years apo, but their ravapes in the oys ter lulls were comparatively unnoticed until last y -ar. Capt. V ale said that "last year the nunilH-r r dead oysters with holes made . by Ktre.-s in the shell Itecame so trreat that ystern-ten were alamietl. This year the work of the lorers has lieeome a yrave matter, and if it continue r any bays will le tlcpopulate.l of oys cers." From one Vn-d we tlredped on this trip we pot txvelve hundred baskets of oysters, but out of these only two hun dred were pood, the dead oysters hav inp Im-cii killed by ttorers. A peculiar thhipalsmt theravapesof the M Mirers' is their apparent select itn of the tn-st ovster Ik-iIs. We have found this to lie true several times this season. We have found a bet! of small oysters al most entirely free from liorers.' This bed will e separated from another In-d f 'art'er oysters by two hundred feet, but this latter 1-ed will 1 so badly affected by the creatures that it will hardly pay to work it. "From what 1 can learn from oyster men the destruction w roupht by lorei-s is much more severe in Delaware bay than in other places. "The work of the borer this year makes a double misfortune, lor tne oyster liedswcre badly tlamaped by the b'ip storm in Aupust and SepteniU-r. Very few people who are not in the oyster tlrctlpinp l.usiness nuow .o tiiinp of the methods of the lrcr. When 1 first took notice of its work 1 secured several oysters just after the iH.rcr had fastened itself to the shell. When the ltorer fastens itself it holds 011 like a leech, and it is with difficulty that it can be removed with the fiiipcrs. Sometimes the borer fastens itself to the oyster shell neir the edpe and then the oyster is not killed. When the hole of the Ixirer is made near the center of the shell the oyster is at tacked in its vital parts and dies in three or four days afterthe hole is first made." Some of the Innl-owners near Maurice river have lost larpe sums of money this year m account of the lKrer. All oystermen say there can be no way of takinp away the l.rer without de stroyinp the oyster beds. MONGOLS Ur kU-s.O NOR. Itrlcuulce I tlit. fieiterml lTtriln of Aniliiliou Vou ne M'J.

AccordinfT to the last census reports there are over three million bachelors in the 1'nited States, by which i meant there are three million men over thirty years old who have never K'eii married. This fact, of course, furnishes a very handy text for all sorts of comment and snpfrestion. Now and then the scheme is advocated of makinfr iiejrlcci of matrimony a statutory offense, either by way of tax discrimination in favor of married parties or otherwi:-. In earlier times, says the Itoston ;l. le. mama-re was com pulsory. The pre.it world conquerors wanted mate rial for their armies, and soheavy pen alties were laid on a neglect to marry. tine interesting question which the census figures do not answer is this: "How many of these three million bachelors are single from choice rather than necessity?" The factors affecting the ability to support a wife have been very much chamrcd under the newer industrial and commercial condition. So ureal has ltceome the competition for plae'! auionir the higher pursuits, and s-o large ly have women come to till )iti.i: once exclusively occupied by men. that t'ue oureaus of industrial statistic! show a larger and larger percentage of men in these pursuits whose incomes, from their point of view, will not per mit them to marry. It is easy to scold the young men in tYns matter quite as easy to lind fault with the young women who are look ing out for husbands with plenty of ready money. I5ut there is nothing in the published census fiirures regarding the average earnings of certain classes of workers which at alt warrants tho conclusion that the majority of these three million unmarried men remain single through willfulness rather than what they deem necessity.

They are accompanied by a brass band and all the population of the town and neigh liorhood. The custom dates from the time of King John, who visited the town in 1210. The roads were very bad, and some of his baggage wagons had to lie left in the mire. On his arrival he inquired who was responsible for the condition of the roads, and, learning that the bailiffs were to blame, ordered thciu to bo seized and drag-ged through the nearest pond. .... -- Bow on the Jas.
