Not the Army worm. Mr. Heber
tells us that the caterpillars that made
their appearance in myriads in the
Butte creek region are not the "army
worm." They seemed to confine them
selves entirely to tho foliage of tha
ash, stripping every tree completly and

December. After feasting for a while
on the, ash foliage they have disap
peared ns mysteriously as they came.
" Lig'ht Oat Prospects. Tho crop
reports from different portions of the
valley are not as favorable as we were
led to believe in a previous issue. Ihe
want of the usual soaking spring rains
lias kept the growing wheat, oat and
barley very short and much of it which
is now heading out is only from four
to six inches from the ground. Mauy
of the best farmers are of the opinion
that tho oats will not more than aver
age a one-fourth crop. Somo of the
parties who have agreed to furnish oats
to the Fort may find it difficult to fill
their contracts.
The Festival. The basement of

day night was thronged with people

licious viands with which the tables
groaned, disappeared as the hours grew
late. Earlj in the evening and all
throughout the festival the Jackson
ville Brass Band rendered material as
sistance in discoursing their soul ster
ing strains to tnc assembled host?.
The festival was a perfect success both
financially and otherwise. The gross
receipts of the evening were ?1CD.

laying down the rule in too stringent a
manner, and that, if there be a "fixed
habit of drinking to excess to such a
degree as to disqualify a person from
attending to his business, that is hab
