Turning out tholltfristralts, To the Editor of the Preset One afternoon JIltS week I was sitting in Tirashington Squarell'hreathing its comparatively fresh air and enjOing the beauties of this oasis. All was peaceful the'quiet wag only broken by the gleeful voteli.; of romping childhood. Two boys passed 10.0 the Square; one carried a harp and the other a violin. They tuned their instruments and played. The children, ono after another, naturally left their athletic sports to engage in a pleriSure Blom intellectual and elevating. The performance would have done credit to older musicians.. The sweet strains hushed the baser passions ;'man , s bet ter parts gained the ascendancy, and .all listened while joy overspread their countenances. Suddenly n tall Mall, with a club like a cane, approached. It WS the superintendent with his baton of authority. The minstrels were compelled to depart, and with them the pleasure. Our minds recalled the advent of Satan into Paradise. His approach benishea . pleasure. We desire to know if the performance dIF music in a square is "a violation of any statute. Hundreds of dollars are spent for music at the Park ; then why is this cheap but beautiful music prohi bited in a place designed for amusement I Y,e4s, . T. B. N. The Worms on Ike Trees To the Editor of The Press Sin: There has been a great deal said and writ ten about the worm nuisance ' and yet no practical means have been disenvered to destroy those erea‘ tures. I have been thinking of a plan for some time, which, I think, If given a full trial, would re sult thinning thorn out to a ga•eat extent, if not in destroying them entirely. We all know that the common ,inoth is strongly attracted by la bright light, and will fly heedlessly Into a flame, and as the worms that infest our trees turn into millers, and then deposit their eggs why not try the export. ment upon them 1 I would suggest that, after the miller makes its appearance, large fires be built in our squares, anti other conyenient,places,. to see what effect it would have upon them. - Destroy the miller this season, and Amin has' no worms next season.- I am, sir, yours respectfully, CITIZEN. • Looritc SQUARE, Pldlada.; Allty 25, 1.884, Worms, I irde,. and Squirrels. To The Editor of The4!ttss:„4-" Sir.: The worms: are making their appearance, and probablywillbe quite as bad as ever. Various reasons are given for their production, and antidOtes propoSed for their removal.

They request the General Missionary Society to take into careful consideration the condition of the colored people, and should Conferences be organized among-them, make to them, Consistently with other de mands upon ITS funds, such appropriations as may be essential to success. Addresses were made on this subject by Revs. S. Y. Monroe, Riley, and others. The report was finally adopted.

Warner, and others, wished to speak against the motion to strike out. . . . Bishop Campbell argued. at length that the word for gery hadmo business in the minutes. Several gentlemen protested against the Bishop, w bile presiding,• descending from his position to argue a question in this uncomoly way. Bishop Campbell contended that it was. his right to take this position, and: refused to hear anyone else upon the question. He then proceeded to put the ques tion to:strike out. The greatest confusion hero pre vailed, and the question was put under such circum stances as to render it abnost impossible to toll who voted or who did not. The Chair, however, declared the motien to strike out adopted, Aprotest was circulated, and extensively signed by m embers of the Conference, against the unwarrantable conduct of the junior bishop. There can bt no question but that the attitude and Conduct of Elko Campbell, just entering upon his Episcopal officb, is well calculated to ,alienate the feelings of a-large . portion of the Conference from him t ,among ,whom there is already .. too mush Ul teeling on account of rthe' spasmodic actions of the 14110 p duripg tiklexvrgjEN Aag,ifitqrita (um, THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA:; SATURDAY, , MAY 28, 1864.
