health of the trees:. Although through

still it leaves us healthy trees, and an

enemy to which I specially refer in this
paper, strikes at the very foundation of our.
horticultural superstructure,_ and'attacks
the tree itself, marringitihealth and beauty,
and if not arrested,.destroymg its ability to
bear and mature its fruit; and may un
doubtedly in the end, destroy the tree itself.
On' the 28th of October Mr. Charles T
Gould, of this city,end a member of this
Society, brought me about a dozen white
worms which had been taken out of the
trunks of his plum trees, immediately un
der the bark ; and informed me they were
a moiety of some fifty or sixty, Which he
had ring out in a single day. It is true,
that the presence of these worms was not
entirely a new thing to me, for I had here
and there, observed one or more of them in
the plumb tree, on former occasions; but I
had never before known of them being so
numerous. Perhaps the members of this
Society may have noticed drops of gums
exuding from the trunks and limbs of their
plum trees, on various occasions, especially
during the most active period of circulation
andgrowth, in the summer season. These
exudation were caused by wounds made by
worms boring into the wood of the trees,
or under the bark. I have on various oc
casions cut them out of both the plum, the
apple, and the cherry, as wallas of the wild
cherry. Many of them are drawn forth
during the fall and winter season, and also
in the summer, by various species of birds,
of the Picas or woodpecker family ; but
these birds are usually too shy to approach
trees near human habitations, and in small
enclosures. These therefore, if not guarded
and manipulated by human hands, must
full a prey to these and other species of
wood . boring worms.
The largest of,these worms aro now, No
vember 2d, one inch and a quatterlu length,
composed of a small head, armed with
short, stout, brownish mandibles; three
thoracic, and ton abdominal segments, very
distinctly marked. The head and the first
thoracic segment, are retractile within the
second, which Is three times as broad as
the abdominal segments. The color is a
slightly tarnished white, except the second
segment, which Is a faintly brownish yel
low ; end the worm is entirely destitute of
feet. out or its coil Its powers of locomotion
lire very inferior, and it seems to move
back wards or sideways, rather than for
ward. Mr. Gould Informs me that he found
thorn In dozens, lying side by side, on lift
ing up the loosened bark of the infested
trues, each, however, working its own way
through the tissue that immediately envel
opes the trees. Perhaps the most express,
lye simile would be to liken this worm to
" tadpole," for on a superficial glance, 4t
appears to be composed of merely a head
and tall, without any body us an interme
diate between thorn
There is not a doubt in my mind that this
worm is the larva of a species of Bupreatis, a
family of wood•oring Coloptera , nearl
allied to the cli b ck-beetles e the " sehnill y
littethrzi "of the Germane. I can only refer
it with any certainty to the genus Dicerea,
and approximately to the species divaricata,
because without a personal observation, or
well executed drawings and minute descrip
tions to refer to, it is very difficult to identify
the mature insect with the immature larvmo.
This general form or !arm, with various
modifications, runs through the whole
family 13 aprestidm, but in no genus is more
distinctly marked, than in that of Dieerea.
Usually these larva) require three years or
more, to puss through all their states of
preparation before they assume the pupal
and mature forms, and accordingly their
study is rendered tedious and difficult.
Authors are of opinion that the beach is the
original residence of this larva), but from
thence it and its cogeners have spread, until
the plum, the cherry, the app e, and doubt
less other trees, have become infested with
them. Some of the species belonging to
this family are "pine-borers," and remain
a long time in the larva) state. An instance
is recorded in the transactions of the
LinDlllllll Society of England, of a species of
Buprustis found alive, whilst endeavoring
to extricate itself from the wood of a desk
the plank of which had been imported from
time Baltic, and had stood in one of the offices
of Guildhall for upwards of twenty years.
A similar case occurred within my own ex
perience' In the city of Lancaster. In the
Spring of 1849 the late F. J. Kramph,pui -
chased a sofa from a Mr. Kapp of Easithing
street, in whose shop it had remained, after
having, been finished, for more than a year,
and perhaps the lumber out of which it was
made had been there a much longer time.
In this part of the history of the case I have
no distinct data. But in the year 1855 or '6
in the month of June, a hole, and a quantity
of cuttings were found on the floor on the
inner side of one of the feet of the sofa; but
as the weather was warm, and the windows
were occasionally opened, the insect must
have tnude its escape before these evidences
of its presence were discovered by the re•
!novel of the sofa. I um not able to say
whether the insect that escaped from the foot
of this sofa was a Buprrstie or a Saperda, or
some other wood boring coloopter‘but most
likely it was one of the two named. On
another occasion, while I was in the em
ploy of the above named gentleman, I found
a species of Sirex—a hymenopterous insect
—in a roll of blank cassimere with its head
outward, just beneath the first or second
outer ply or goods. On unrolling it, I found
the insect had cut a hole through every ply of
the cassimere, in a piece that measuredsome
thirty yards, and had originally come out
,)r the board ou which the goods had been
' wrapped. How long the time was, that the
insect had boon present, it would be lmpos•
slblc to toll ; but when weconmider the time
required to cut, season, and saw the timber,
before it came into the Minos of the cloth
manufacturer, and the time It may have laid
in time factory the warehouse, and the mer
chants' establishments, before the discovery
yens may have elapsed. Now, here
are insects so peculiar in their history, and
so protracted in their development, that it
would seem almost impossible to provide
against their destructive habits ; and yet, in
the economy of nature itself, thereare many
counteracting influences operating against
their increase. It is in this manner, too,
that many of the wood-boring insects origi
nally con fi ned to the wild forest regions of
our country have been introduced into the
domain o. civilized cultivation.
I know no more effectual antidote against
them than that which Mr. Gould employed
with those under consideration. That is,
where they are accessible, cut or dig them
out with any suitable instrument; and do
not be afraid of injuring the trees, for you
could not possibly affect the ]health of the
tree more by scarifying it than a score or
two of worms would in girding it, one sea
son, and the next, boring into its heart or
into the outer rings of its solid wood.
There have been a number of remedies,
recommended by persons in different parts
of the country, for the prevention of wood
boring insects penetrating trees, or for the
destruction of those already there,
but, ex
cept those embracing a rational manual
effort, they are all of little or no effect for
good. I tnight instance, among these, the
driving of nails into trees, the boring of
auger-holes and filling them with sulphur,
calomel, or other similar substances, the
'hanging of horse shoes and other objects on
the branches, ttc., as being totally useless.
The argument advanced by the advocates
of these remedies is, that the sap takes up
these substances, and circulates them
through the trunk and the branches of the
trees, and so doctored, rendering it so
nauseous or vitiated, that no worm can or
will possibly live in it ; add therefore they
most abandon snch trees or be destroyed.
This is a most transparent folly, for it must
be evident to any one, that wood or sap so
poisoned that the worms would be sickened
or destroyed by eating it, would likely pro
duce fruit that would have a similar effect
upon human beings, eatingit. If the trunk
of trees are secured—by any contrivance
that will have that effect—during the
months of June and July, there will be
danger from exposure before or after
that period. But when the worms are
already in the trees, and cannot be reached
by merely removing the loosened portion
of the bark, then the best thing to employ
is a sharpened and barbed wire, for the dis
lodgment of the worms. Perhaps a steel
wire would be the best—one that is just
flexible enough to follow the course of the
holes, without permanently bending. It is
true that there may be soaps - or other sol
vent substancesaffixed to the upper surface
of the branched of trees, which by dissolv
ing gradually, by descending rains, might
run over the surface and prevent the parent
insect from depositing its eggs there, but
this, wade any circumstance, could homily
partially 'Mailable, and not effectually done,
unit can be by the smaller species of insec
tivorous birds. Birds are both overrated
and underrated; but that they'do, at certain
places and in certain seasons destroy more
insects and insect larva) than they ever get
credit for, is undeniably true. Parasitic
insects are their assistants, and these coun
teracting, and often unrecognized and un
acknowledged forces, acting in harmonious
combination, are doing, and have done
more, in a quiet way, than all the other
remedies ever discovered, can or ever will
do. .

department?
I am fully convinced that if the effects
can be traced to their true causes, an avail
' able remedy will lbllOW. Assuming such,
to be the case, we Must labor more to seek
the causes of failure, than those of success ;
because we have more of the former, and in
order to arrive at facts it will be necessary
to keep a record of when and what we
plant, the nature of the soil, whether old or
new, its pre ration and aspects, its condi
tion at the time of planting, how cultivated
and cropped after the trees are planted,
what manures are applied, the proximity of
woodlands, their elevation and point of
compass from plantation, the state of ther
mometer, and many other things -that
should not be overlooked. But to observe
the above, will require more labor and
exertion than we or our fathers have
applied thus far, and we may as well
learn first as last, that we need never ex
pect to grow fruit to perfection with the
same ease as they did—that day has gone
by.
My own observations have led me to oon •
elude that planting trees upon exhausted
soil,—especially where the same kind of
fruit had grown,—the clearing away of
timber lands, making a prairie of the coun
try, and the depredations of insects are the
most prominent causes of failures in fruit
growing in this section of our State.
It is to be hoped that the above subject
will hereafter be thoroughly and intelli
gently discussed at our monthly meetings,
and snob conclusions as may be arrived at
put into praptice, and the results reported
to this Society, which will accumulate a
un i of knowledge that may be relied upon
by our successors,
There are many other things to be con
sidered in connection with the above, but
let this suffice for the present.
It therefore only remains for us to la
bor faithfully and unitedly in the proper
direction to achieve what we aim at, and
success will surely follow.

NO MORE CHANCE TO ADULTERATE
MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS WILL BE
SOLD, ON AND AFTER DEO. lat,
SOLELY IN GLASS..
IT CAN BE PROCURED OF ALL DRUGOISTS
In making the above change, and discontinu
ing entirely the sale of !dishier's Herb Bitters
In bulk, the proprietors deem that the people
should be informed of the causes which have
called forth kttah action on their part.
In the first place, we hold that Mishier's Herb
Bitters is not a beverage, was never intended
to be used as a beverage, but that it is a medi.
dual propel Won of various herbs, dm., oom•
pounded upon scientific principles, and in
exact accordance with the formulte of the phar
maoopla its the preparation of tinctures, dm.
In fact, that it really is a compound tincture of
Cedron and other herbs, and, as far as possible
removed, and differing from the many so-called
Tonics, Bitters, Cordials, Stomachics, which,
for the most part, are nothing but so many
disguises assumed by whiskey, and are for the
most part composed of a major portion of the
very vilest quality of that article, flavored
with come strong drugs to destroy the nausea
of the saute, in order to tickle the palate, min
ister to a depraved taste, and afford a plausible
excuse for persons to drink whiskey under a
differen t name.
Mishier's Herb Bitters has been sold in bulk,
In this particular it has been unfortunate, for
It has thus been placed directly in contact with
the above mentioned, and although its In
trinsic merit, and sterling worth has enabled
it to sustain its high character, yet the people
have naturally a certain distrust of the article
when it is found to be classed in the same cate
gory with a number of whiskey preparations,
bar drinks, and beverages.
This is one great disadvantage against which
Mishler's Herb Bitters has to contend, but
there Is still another. The demand for It has
caused many unprincipled persons, who are
not content wttli the profit derived lu a legiti
mate manner from its sale, TO INCREASE
THEIR GAINS BY ADULTERATION. They
will purchase, perhaps, a barrel, and by the ad
mixture of cluisp whiskey and water, increase
the quantity, making perhaps, two, or it may
be three barrels of the counterfeit, from a
single barrel of tile genuine, thus abusing the
confidence of their customers, impairing their
health, and it is likely, in many instances, in
flicting serious injury thereby, besides doing
injustice to the proprietors and. damaging the
reputation of the article.
This is the most carious objection, but there
is still another. Our desire is to have this prep
aration for sale on tile shelves of every drug
gist, and country store dealer, WIN placing it
within easy access of all classes and every sec
tion of the country. if the Bitters are sold in
bulk, it is retailed principally at hotels, restau
rants and taverns, so that druggists and mer
chants can not safely and profitably sell it to
their customers. At the hotels the Bitters is
oftimes fearlully adulterated; while when sold
in bottles, it is impossible to tamper with the
medicine without fear of detection. In hotels
it must be sold as a beverage; which is not the
object of its manufacture—while as a medicine,
securely sealed in a proper sized bottle, the
Bitters can be retailed from the counter of
every druggist and merchant in the country.
MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS ARE NOW
SOLI) ONLY IN BOTTLES.
Let this fact be remembered by the public,
who may consider all other preparations sold
in bulk and under its name, as base and worth
less counterfeits.

Mishler's Herb Bitters, of which I learn you
have lately become proprietors. I have been
suffering terribly from Dyspepala for three
years et. Nothing that I ate agreed with me.
I had constant gnawing and painful sensations
in my stomach, and waisted away, almost to a
skeleton. Even my mind was affected to some
extent, and I Buffeted from loss of memory. I
had tried various physiCians, and spent more
than live hundred dollars endeavoring to ob

ever being better, when a friend who had ex

from the use of MIS EIDER'S HERB 817 r.h.E.6
induced me to try it. After using four bottles
I can say I am well, having gained about fifteen
pounds, and being still on the increase. I write
this to you in grateful acknowledgment; and

are daring, together with a miscellaneous
crowd of adventurous spirits presenting al
most every phase of human contactor, each of

Incidents which cause the blood of the reader
to leap with electric force, and constantly al

NEW FASHION FOR 1868
SHERMAN'S NEW PATENT
AS YOU LIKE IT SKIRT.
33 N. EIGHTH ST., COB. FILBERT. 35
This Is not only a new fashion, but a new
articleof skirt made on an entirely new prin
ciple, so novel and yet so perfect the ladies con
tend It should be called Perfection.
We would here call particular alien 101 l to
the AS YOU LIKE IT, or dexlblejolut, extend
ing down the front of the skirt; It Ix so con
structed that the springs told inwardly, but not
outwardly, and readily yield to the slightest
pressure, thus allowing them to collapse so
that the skirt occupies the smallest possible
space while sitting., riding, or In passing
turough a cr,,wd, and yet the moment the pres
sure Is removed, the skirt resumes Its original
and beautiful shape.
The novelty and utility of this contrivance
need but be seen to be apipreciated.
Ask ior the AS YOU LIKE IT SKIRT, and
take uo other.
.OUR CORSETS
Are so well known for their superior SHAPE,
MATERIAL and WORKMANSHIP, that it is
perhaps unnecessary for on to speak of them
further than to say that we have greatly en
larged our assortment& styles, both of our own
make and importation, and can now safely
defy competition.
It may well be said that
In Man. BllilibtAN'S CORSETR, ladles !Ind
The laws of Health with Plishion's taste coin•
blued ;
Supporting equally each separate part,
They cramp no action of the lunge or heart,
And no lojurious ligature lx placed
To mar the flexure of the natural waist.
Their tit Is certain—and what's sure to please,
In aft positions there is perfect ease;
The figures of the young they help to form,
Aiding and not repressing every charm ;
Irregularities of shape they hide,
tlo that by none can slight defects be spied,
While e'on a figure, which is understood
As being ' bad," may by their nelpaeom good;
And matrons wearing them a boon will gain ,
Their early symmetry they'll long retain.

We find from an analysis of your ' Complete
