At this season it is not hard for an entire community to get rid of the tent caterpillar by applying the torch to their nests, which Are now appearing. Along the country roads the | nests are more numerous on the useless | wild cherry tree than any other trees, {and farmers baving jurisdiction over | these trees should cut them down and make fire wood of them. In some states there is a law making it an offence not to destroy the nests of the tent caterpillar.

Grenoble, at Millheim, | because they refused 10 pay their taxes. | They became boisterous on his hands | and showed some resistance, when sher- [iff Braogart, who happened to be at Millbeim, took a hand and they submit. ed. Rossman started to take them to jail when they Jplead for mercy, and he yielded, upon them paving all taxes and costs, the latter amounting to considerable. Mr. Rossman is the kind of an official who will do his duty and deserves credit.

Fire Monday night destroyed a large lodging house occupied entirely by Ital. lans at the Buffalo Run quarries of the American Lime and Limestone Company in this county. The boarders had their savings of months boarded up in the building, and when the fire got under way pasdemonium reigned. Some of the money was saved, but from $500 to $600 burned up, Two Fires at Beech Zeek, John Peters’ dwelling, on the outskirts of town, was totally consumed by fire last Friday night. All the furniture was also burned. The loss is covered by a small insurance, A defective flue started a fire Saturday afternoon in the house occupied by D, M. Burlew.
