As the state law requires the townships to pay a bounty, it should specify the amount and make it uniform.

' ■ John Nanry brought several specimens of wheat to The Register to show the effect that the bugs are having on it.

On the rest, the heads were cut off from the grain. The damage done to wheat in this county by these insects cannot be estimated but is very large. Joseph C. "VanValkenburg, Aaron Canine and John Esselmen were arrestéd and taken before Justice Pond, Monday, charged with setting fire to the fence of William Wallace, of Pittsfield. The defendants live in the township of York and the fence burned was on Wallace's farm in tht A mistake being made in the dates on the warrant, the defendants were discharged and immediately rearrested on the same charge, their examinations being Bet down for July 10.

They brought with them and presented to Fr. Fierle, an elegant benediction scarf nine feet long, made of white moire silky lined with scarlet surah silk, with gold fringes at the ends and a beautiful design worked in the center. Besides the relies and memories of the battle-field of Gettysburg obtained during the recent state meeting for the dedioation of monument at that place, Robert Campbell procured a laree photograph of about fifty of the surviving members of his regiment, the old Fourth Infantry, which took such an active part in that bloody conflict that it lost over forty per cent. of its members in killed, wounded, and missing. The veterans are arranged upon each side of the monument, which is erected upón or near the spot where the colonel of the regiment, H. H. Jeffords, was killed, being thrust through with a bayonet while making a desperate attempt to recover his fiag, which the rebels had seized. In the background adjoining is seen the historie wheat field wbieh was within the fated loop near the Devil's Den, and between Little Round Top Snd the Peach Orehard, wheé the opposing forcea charged and countercharged eacb other upon the afternoon of July 2d, until the field of trampled wheat was literally covered with Union and Confedérate dead. Beside trees and boulders, stone fences, etc, there can be seen a number of the monuments erected by the regiments of other states to commemorate the desperate etruggle. No tucht assemblage of the regiment ha8 been upon that field since the b,attle, or will ever be likely to occur again. Thus the game faces upon the same field after a quarter century, makes it a historie picture.
