HERRICKVILLE. EDITORS R. PORTER :—Tlie farmers of this place have about finished putting in their oats, and seem glad to have the present April shower to start the =grams and grain. The, extent to which the mea dows of this county have been destroyed by - the White grub, is quite alarming. Farmers do not, 3s a general rule, realize the amount of damage done—we are quite within bounds when we say that thous ands of acres of meadow have been total ly destroyed, _ which must increase 'the price of feed for the year to come. Many farmers are sowing oats on their mead ows,. some without ever plowing the grourili, simply using a harrow, the groutid being honey-combed and .mellow on ac count of the subterranean travel and dep redatifins of the pest 'grub. The roots of the grass being entirely eaten oil, you can go on the meadows, and with your boot or hands remove the turf, like taking up so much carpet:,, 'Dr. A. R. Stevens has a large and in creasing practic, and seems to be meeting with good success. The Doctor has been making extensive improvements on his residence, besides adding thereto 'a neat and commodious office. He has a stone for the.yeranda floor of the office, which. for sizi,and excels anything we have keen in Towanda or elsewhere ; it is a bluestone flag taken front - the famous Jennings quarry, on the Rummsrfleld Creek, being thirteen feet long. six feet Wide, and four inches thick. We WOU dared bow in the world it was brought to it present resting place, and were inform ed by the Doctor that it was drawn by . Mr. William McKaaina's team up that* long bard hill by C. :L. *Wevrarts. We were-not a little surprised to learn that one team hauled it. If anybody wants Any heavy hanlding don - % such as moving An arsenal or, a foundry, they bad , better go 'for that Sampson -like team :before warm weather comes on and their manes are cropped; Our merchants, Mr. B. Titus apd Mr. J. J. Anderson, have each received a large addition to their stock of goods, and ale now ready to supply their customers with anything usually kept in a country store. Mr. James Wetmore is quite busy With the last and awl. - Mr. Judson Squires has located his new steam saw mill on the farm of C. S. Stew aft, where is to ^saw about one hundred thousand feet of lumber, part of which is to be used by Mr. Stowait in building a fine largo 'barn, and the balance to- be used by the neighbors generally iu fenc ing, et.. The mill is convenient itt other ways, for it is good to blow the farmers out to work in the morning, and to call them in to dinner. The few minutes ex tra in the "nooning" we haie no doubt will be pleasantly and profitably spent in reading the RUPQRTER, and- in commt ut ing on the newt; of the count 4, the State sod the Nation so ably and fully reported each week to many of our citizens. We hear good reports from the large school being taught by Miss Amy I. Anderson, in the Landon district. Miss Juliana Rattles, of this place, is teaching with success in Standing Stone.
