Agricultural Jtjartnunt. [From the Sag Harbor Express. Aphides, or Plant-lace.—The New Grain Insects and Army Worm. The grass aod cereal crops have suffered, the present season to an unusual extent by insect depredators; lo addition to the im mense numbers of the Artuy worm that have preyed upon the growing grass and grain, a species of Aphis has done great injury to the oats, wheat, and corn crops. Almost every family of plants are infested with certaiu spe cies of plant-lice peculiar to them. These differ in form, color, clothing, &c., and iu the length of the honey-tubes, or bills, through which they pump up, or suck the juices of the plant, upon which they feed. For instance : The Aphis Rosae, or Rose louse, the Aphis Brassiceae, or Cabbage louse, the Aphis Sa licit, the louse of the willow groves, Ac. Rut I have never before heard of 6erious injury doue to the grain crops by this insect. In on Insects, the author alludes to a certaiu insect similar to the Thrips Cerea luni which sometimes infests wheat, iu Europe specimens of which were furnished to him by Mrs. N. G. S. Gage, formerly of Concord, N. 11. Rut from its description and habits I think is nothing more nor less than the wheat midge, which iu later years ha? proved so de structive to the wheat crops in this and other States. It having first appeared, aoout the time Mrs. Gage wrote, iu that section of country, and has since gradually extended west, uutil it lias reached Uhio, ludiana aud other western states. I have been kindly furnished by two of the neighboring farmers with specimens of the Aphis which have appeared in such great numbers in the grain fields the present season, and 1 cannot discover that they differ mate rially from the plant lice found on many spe cies of the coarser vegetation. The idea has been advanced by some of the neighboring farmers that this insect has some connection iu its origin with the Army worm, or the Army worm with that, which "has ap peared simultaneously with it. Such au opiu ion would, at once be ridiculed by auy euto mologist. The worm, like ull similar insects, passes through certaiu well knowu ations. In its period of infancy it is techni cally called a larva, a word signifying a mask, because therein its future form is more or less masked or concealed. This uame is not only applied to grubs, caterpillars, and maggots, and other insects that undergo a complete transformation, but also young and wingless grasshoppers and bugs, and indeed all young insects before the wiugs begin to appear.— j The next stage or the second period is called the pupa state from a slight resemblance that some of the latter present to an iufant trussed in bandages, as was the fashion among the Romans. The pupa from the caterpillars, however, 'are more commonly called chrys alids, because some of them, as the uame im plies, are gilt or adorned with goldeu spots. — At the eud of the second period, they again shed their 6kins and come forth fully grown, aud iu this stage are in their perfect or adult state, aud soon die, after laying tueir eggs. The history of the Aphides is equally well understood, it having been an object of pro found interest and study for the early philos ophers, and is one of the most remarkable and anomalous of the insect tribes, not even excepting that of the honey bee. The genus to which plant-lice belong is called Aphis from a Greek word which sig nifies to exhaust, as they live upon the circu lating juices or life blood of the plant. Iu the autumn, or near the closo of the season, unlike all former generations, the plant-louse brings forth a brood consisting of male and female, both being provided with wings.— These pair, and the females lay their eggs, and then they die, the race being extinct for the season. The eggs, thus laid, are hatched iu due time in the spring, and the young lice immediately begin to feed by sucking the juices from the tender plants. The numerous punctures upon the uuderside of the leaves cause them to curl up and present the diseas ed appearance observed on the rose, and peach and leaves of other plants. What is so anomalous and remarkable now, is that the brood, without a single exception, consists icholly of females, which are wingless, but are in a condition immediately to coutinue their kind. The young not being hatched from eggs, but are produced alive, each female may be the mother of fifteen or twenty youog lice iu the course of a single day. The plant-lice of this second generation are also wingless females, which grow up and have their young in duo time ; and thus brood after brood is produced,even to the tenth generation or more without the appearance or intervention, throughout the whole season, of a single male. This extraordinary kiud of propagation ends iu autumn with the birth of the winged males and females, which lay their eggs, as stated above, for the next annual generations. Mr. Curtis, ru English writer on the subject, esti mates the off-pring from a single egg, in the course of seven generations, to amount to the enormous number of seven hundred and twenty nine millions. At this rapid rate of increase some would suppose that every kiud of vege tation would be soon entirely destroyed. But it is proper to remark that these, like all insects injurious to vegetation, have their parasitic or other enemies that keep their nnmbers in check. Remarkable among those that depredate upon piant-lice is the Aphis lion, one the most voracious of ail the iLsect tribes. There is another attendant upon the plant louse,aud those ignorant in such matters have thought that they produced the lice I refer to the common small rnt. On young apple and other trees, infested with lice ants inay always he seen ascending and descending the trunks and branches. Their mission is to milk the lice. After feeding coniinnaily upon the juices of plants, the lice secrete and dis charge a kind of sweet fluid, called honey dew, upon which the ants feed. By certain mani pulations performed by the ants, the lice give out this sweet fluid which the ants speedily devour. Plant iice have hence been styled the kine or cattle of the ants. Other insects aiso feed upon this fluid collected by the Aphides. The cause of the great numbers of the par ticular species of the Aphis that have injured ! the grain crop the present season, like the increase in the numbers of the Army worm may be attributed to a combination of causes, connected with the present, and previous sea son, together with certain favorable conditions of the last winter for the preservation of the eggs. There are many other interesting facts connectei. with the history of these insects that might be detailed. Rut I have already extended my notes farther than I intended at a time when other matters more generally claim the attention of the general reader. Sag Harbor, Aug. 7tb,l. BAKTLETT.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition, Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink, And opposing, end them." npilE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver- X tisin? his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude the public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac count, the infcreuce is that if the public bring their fiinding to tnc, they are in no danger of being defrauded. For two rears I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he has taken great pains t ■ satisfy the public I was the " best Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub lie ?" If 1 have been engaged iu a fraud, he has been th principal. But I refer to my work during that time a evidence that there has been no fraud practiced. Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery business, I have resumed business here on my own ac count,as 1 know of nothing which prevents me from fol lowing a legitimate and bawful calling for my support I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my busi ness to give public satisfaction.

Dee. 10, IfiiiO. JOftEPH PO|TOUr. jHfscellancous. Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A COMPOUND REMEDY, designed to be the most ef fectual Alterative that can be made. It is a con centrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances ol still greater alterative power as to afford an effective antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by Hume who suffer tn.m Strumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to this large class of our afflicted fel low-citizens. How completely this conipouud will doit lias been proven by experiment on many oi the worst cases to be found of the following complaints : SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS CoMI'L A IXTB, FRrrnoNS AND ERUPTIVE DISKASKM, ULCKKN, PIMPLES, BLOTCBKS, TOXOIDS, SALT RHKI*. SCALD HKAD, SVPIIILIS ANHSY riiiLiTic AFFECTIONS, MERCURIAL. DISEASE, DROPSY,NEU RALGIA OR Tic DOULOUUECX. IIEBIEITY, DYSPEPSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, UOSE OR ST. ANTHONY'S PIKE, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from IMPURITY OP THE BLOOD. This compound will be found a great promoter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu mors wnicli fester in the blond at that season of the year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor ders are nipped iu the bud. Multitudes can, ly the aid of this reutdy, spare themselves from the endurance ol eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever yon find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in tiie veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the biood". Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can he no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the grca machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation of accomplishing these ends. Kut the world has been egre giously deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is c'ktimed for it. but more because many preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or anything else. During late years the public have been misled by barge bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of'Sarsa parilla lor one uollar. Most of these have been frauds ! upon the sick, lor they not only contain little, if any ' Sarsaparilla. but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly de spised, and lias become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we.call this compound Hsrsaparilla. and in tend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy wliidh rests i pon it. Aud we think we have ground lor believing it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should he judi ciously taken according to directions on the bottle. Prepared by Dr. .I. C.
