ley, and consequently their apples will
be a much better paying crop this year
than those of the orchards nearer town.
The moth may be oxpected with cer
tainty next season in all tho orchards
of tho valley which luckily escaped this
ear, for the spread of tho pest is rapid
and sure Our orchardists must face
the fact that if they want to sell tho pro
duct of their apple trees they will have
to prepare for a systematic and regular
spraying of the trees to destroy tho larva
of the moth as soon as it hatches.

HnnrpBentative O'Neill is waiting fav
orable opportunity to move a suspension
of tho rules for a oleuton the Plumb
resolution providing for the removal of
the remains of General Grant from their
p-et ont place of repulture, in Knerside
park, to Arlington cemetory. Ho has
made a thorough canvass of the house
on this question, and is assured that
the resolution will be supported -by 300
votes if all the members are present.
in auv event, ho states that there is no
doubt of its passage, and in this ovent
it will not be many months before the
body of General Grant will repose whero
should have been placed at first. A
transfer of this kind is always to be re
gretted, and in this case it cannot be
be accomplished without engendering a
feeling of partiality that Is at varianco
with the universal legard in which the
dead soldier is held by the nation. A
little decision on the part of Sirs. Grant
aS. the lime, unbiased by the glitter and
liomp that waited upon the occasion of
the interment in the great metropolis
would have saed all the dissatisfaction
that has resulted over the matter. Gen
eral Grant was great chiefly as a sold
ier, and his interment like that of Gen
oral Sheridan, should have taken place
in a military cemetery, with such cere
monies as wait upon military burial.
he clamor for display would have been
promptly checked by tins course and
everybody would have been satisfied.
