THE APPLE SUCKER. The Board of Agriculture lisw just issued a Irafle^ giving the life history of "The Amile Hucker, with euggestioM for prevention and remedies, which will be read with interest by apple growers, which have suffered from the ravages of an insect whose existence they nitty not previously have known or suspected. J lie larvae, which causes the mischief, axe so closely concealed in the buds that they may efM. y be w-,se(I over by Ciwual observers. The r" .r JT -jarvae may, however, lyo ¡¡(",n byoareoful indirection within the folds of the buds actively "ngaged in ducking up the juices and prevent- illg the development of leaves and blossom, Tho exhaustion of the juice and sap aaid the irritation set up by the larvae soon cau, decay, and prevent the fructification of the 1, larva. nat. size, la, Inrva after third moult, much magnified 2, perfect insect, nat, size. 24, much ..?-ifl.d: 2 I)crf?Det inuct, mt. size. 2a, much bloewom buds. The insect, which h801 rapidly increased in the past four or five years, is first 8wn about the seoond week in June. Pairing ?.k. ph- in September, and ej?gs are laid in some seasons up to November, remaining until the weather becomes spring-like, witcii the larvae emerge and invade the nearest buds. To eradicate the pt, in the Quae of the early sorts of apples, infested trees might be sproyetl with disagreeable washes of soft soap and quassia, or soft soap and paraffin, directly the apples are picked to prevent the psyllae from laving eggs upon the shoote. Some i small amount of prevention would ensue from pruning and spraying when the buds are open, and the Iw?- -p..d is also .wJ to be ?ffi- caoioos. —w————

THE PENYGRAIG WINDING I ACCIDENT. RESUMED INQUEST. The res?ed inquest on the bodies of John w;; :W:iu'R:es::Îie Horton, and John Avery, who wore Id\led at the recent accident at the Naval Pits, Penygraig, took place (before Mr. J. T. Bhys, ooroner), at the Adare Inn, Tonypandy, on Thursday. Messrs. J. T. Rohson and J, D, Sims, inspectors of mines, were present. Mr. S. H. Stookwood, Bridgend, appeared for the company, whilst Mr. W. Evans, sub-agent, watched the proceedings on behalf of the Cam- brian Miners' Association. Inepoctor William Jone,,? Pentre, conducted the proc?dings on behalf of the police, being ably -si.t?d by P.lice-seria?,.t Hoyle, of 'renya?ndy, and Mr. D,R.Jones wm the foreman of the jury. There were also present Mr. J. W. Hodd, agent of the Naval Colliery, and Mr. '1', Sheppard, district manager of the Employers' LiabiFity Assurance Company (Limited). Considerable delay was oce?ioned at the outset owing to the absence of one of the jurymen, Mr. Henry Williams, iron. monger, Penygraig, failing to turn up? and wb,?n be did appe? half an hour late l was severely censured by the coroner. The first witness called was David Thomas, the mechanic of the pit, who explained how the rope was sent down the pit and how he found the cages in the middle of the pit after Isaac ..d Fosar had been rescued by the men in the bowk. The Coroner briefly summed ap the evidence. The jury retired, and, after an absence of abont an hour, brought in a verdict of Acci- dental death, mumd by an error in judgment of the night oveman, John Way, and added a :e'í\V:,e:,a¡:e:W:l;dd ::je::n rider, it is necessary te take a rope down the pit in future a neater weight should be need than the one u, on this oeemion, as we conrider the chain much too light; and also that a man be specially appointed to go down with the rope to see that it passes through every staple. We also recommend that better pro- vision be made at the pit top for rescuiDg any persons who might be in the shaft a7;r s?bgre:Y down in the ordinary machinery."

Sir Edward Clarke, who with Mr. E. E. de Witt and Mr. Le Breton appeared for the plaintiff, said that after her marriage to her present husband the l? L%t4iff returned to Mr. Crosbie all the presents and letters which she had received from him. and she asked from him the return of a miniature and all the letters which she had written to him. Since then the miniature had been returned, bnt the letters had not been returned. Lady Mabel Sievier was called in support of her case. She said that in February, 1892, ahe became engaged to the defendant, and this en- gagement continued until September in that year. She changed her mind, and on the 24th of that month married her present husband. She believed that Mr. Crosbie wished to marry her for her money. Mr. Cliannell, Q.C. (for the defendant) On September 23 you wrote a letter to Mr. Crosbie breaking off the engugementr—Yes, that is it. Mr. Justice Hawkins Which the defendant would get on September 24, the day of the marriage of the piaiutiff ? Mr. Cùannell said that Mr. Crosbie first saw the announcement of the marriage in the news- papers when he was travelling with his regi- ment. In the letter the plaintiff said :— I have been trying to write to you for several days, but htive failed tJ sum up courage to do so. My leciiugs having- been entirely changed. 1 write to you.

In reply to a question the plaintiff said that she had had nothing to do with an article about the breaking oft of the marriage which had appeared in Society. She had had a conversa- tion with the editor. Mr. Justice Hawkins said the action could not be maintained at law. He could very well understand a gentleman g.4.-t whom ,z -g,2? LA been made saying that he wisHd to retain the letters in order to be able to prove by h.' ;s :re:n fhafbe to C£;:I b:: baseless. Judgment was for the defendant, with costs.

Of course, the plaintiff had no -ih whatever that this gentleman should be sent to prison, but some step was necessary in order to enforee tile rights which plaintiff wae entitled to. 1\8 plaintiff i.?d to writ in Ja?.ry, IM, .11". in that h. ?" the .r )f a aad It ko- :a:h:neMill nco -cn: the Brook Gnenuy, is the county of Monoo* The visiting committee of the asylum bl: ch?ed another mill, known ? the Litde a .iu.t. bove plitiff'. mill, -d they W converted their mill into a station for pumping large quantities of water from the brook to the mylit., to the d.p of his miil. The wae tried at the hii. mouth A..i1.c&, when it was proved that then were 1,000 inmates of the asylum, and that the average daily consumption of water was ABOAFC 30.000 gallons. At the trial the jury found far tiw plaintiff, on the ground that the asylum used more water thon it was entitled t<t, and an in. junction was granted, but suspended forthwt months. The defendants appealed, hut the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, although it varied the injunction, and said the defendants were entitled to the reasonable use of the stream. The plaintiff BOW said that the asylum was now using the water unreasonably, and therefore, he had to m-Vice this application to the court. Mr. Bosanquet said the Court of Appeal had held that the asylum was entitled to the ordi. nary use of the stream at all times, as long a* it did net take such an amount as would injure the plaintiff the riparian proprietor below. What the asylum had done ever .ille8 the order was made b.1 been to pump the water irom the tank at the susylum onlv on Satnraay night, and early on the Sunday, wieu tloe plain, tifi s mill was not working.
