A citizen of Loysvllle, writing to the Bloomfield Democrat on the subject of caterpillars says: "Caterpillars are again becoming very numerous. The plan used here to destroy them is to take lime and prepare It as common whitewash, tie a cloth to the end of a cloth to the end of a pole, dip it iu liquid and either thrust it iu the nest or saturate it with It and it will bring the answer every time.

Monday morning be was working in the garden and not feeling well he walked up town and gradually grew worse and till evening, his case was pronounced hopeless. He became unconscious and from that time to his last respiration was a- labored effort until he yielded to the Inevitable sum mons. v He was a son of William Showers and his wife, Mary, and was born Oct 6, 1840, In Beaver township, this coun ty, aud was one of a family of seven children, of which there were four sons and three daughters, as follow-: Mrs, Rebecca Zeehnian, widow of Henry Zechman; William, James, Adam, the deceased; Sarah, Phares and Amanda.

Monday morning about 7::!0 o'clock, II. J. Jarref, the bartender at the Kerry House, Shamokiu Dam, was sweeping the fi out porch, when without any warning, he was shot in the left arm. The ball bulged in the thick part of the arm, between the wrist m.d elbow. He was taken to the hospital where the bullet was removed by Dr. Drum heller. The wound Is not at all seri ous and the patient is doing well. At first it seemed a mystery where the shot came from, but later some miners from Slianiokin were noticed fishing In the river from a raft opposite the hotel, and after sonic investigation it was discovered that one of them had done the shooting, but with w hat mo tive could not be found out. These men were seen later going down, the road toward Selinsgrove. Chief-of-Police Waltz was notified nnd began search for the men. Up to the present time they have not been captured.
