AtJ Ir.distt aud a negro, who we: I supp >sed t>? be tbe murderers, were pursued and | arrested in Indian country, and w re brought back and delivered to the civil authorities of Scott county.

We annex, savs thn .'V/i ;rieao Farmer, with feelings of pleasure, th billowing trulv valuable c itnmu lication Iro n Dr. Samuel D. Martin, up oil the hab t*, nature and species of the cut w ?r.iH, and from our pcrs inal knowledge of the scientific ami pracii al kn ?wlei|ge, thiac-" cute observation, and pliilosophc turn of the writer, we are convinced that the in -an* which he suggests f ?r their destruction, are those the >Lest adapted to that purpose. Farmers a d {ranters, whose lauds are infested with the cut w >1*11is. will d ? well to ''ear in mind what the Dr. says upon the subject. Last spring 1 collected some cut worms and put them into a glass jar, with a sufficiency of dirt, where I fed thoin until th *y rolled themselves up in inn I balls. By cut w inns I mean a w inn all nit an inch long, of a grcv col ir, that lives under the ground, and comes out in Uie night, and dar clou ly days, an I cuts off a pla.il/ cats part, ami endeavors to drag the ba.ance into the groun I after it. \V i :n taken out of the gron.i I, lie puis his hea I a 11 tail together, and rills hiinnd in'o a kid >-y -hapa.

O.i the 2tih of June, those cz^s hatch-d little catterpihars or cut worms. I fed thein principally up ?:i y >ung clover leaves. I think there must have been several hundred; I did not count thorn. W.ien they were grown, they became so voracious, and required the jar, which had held only three pints, to be filled so frequently, that 1 killed ad but three of them; these wound up in mud balls on the 2!st of July, came out mil.urs,' moths or candle-flies, as you may call them, from the 5th to the 7th of August. Unfortunately ail the i " n1" i" u,,n> I lost the breed; fe?w. dure moths until the 11th oiXuNUSli; liiLsu" were not quite as dark colored as the first.? These I call the one crop cut worm. This will reconcile the statements oi two writers upon the subject, who have differed ab nit the time the moth makes its apper;:>ice, tiie two crop kinds appearing at both tunes. I saw, also, the moth ih it produced the cut worm tolerably abundant in my clover field, in October. Th s inoth is a night fly, and is rarely seen in the day time, unless roused from its hiding {daces. From the attraction that fire has for this kind of butterfly, (permit me to call a m ult a butterfly, in accordance with itscom n m name,) it is probable that fires kindled in our fields, with brush a idstaw, of dark nights destroy a great number of them. Silt put ?mi the ground might also destroy the w Tin; but the l>est remedy that I have ever tried, is fall ploughing.? Ihs, by destroving the vegetation makes the fl% seek other places of d -p s ling her eggs; ami it a's i destr >ys the routs of the grass up ?n which the young w >rni w uild live during the winter. I have had no ground infested bv them i - i... 11... r..ii wit re I have h id the gr ?un I ptougneu m mu iau or whiter. This moth that produces the rut worms is the ph /lriift divnxtntor of out >111 >1 -gists. I have ma le experiments with the h id w >nn, and ?jrnhworm, hat have not room in this paper to g vt them. I was more injured last year by the hud w ems an I insects.
