THE DAILY EXAMINER.
On Monday evening there were sent to the pmoeting of the Natural History Society a number of specimens of a small insect which is at present destroying a grain-field on the Stock Farm This insect is the common grain aphis (Siphon phora avene) which did so much damage to grain in some sections of the United States last year. The eggs of this insect remain on winter wheat, or on native grasses, over winter, aud in the spring are hatched out into wingless females of extraordinary fecundity. A single individual will produce in twenty days 2,000,000 of its kiad. In June, or earlier, winged females are produced which migrate from one district to another and spread the pest all over the country. In the: fall perfect males and females appear, which establish the annual {perpetuity of the species. It is the pecu- \ liarity of all aphides, or plant lice, that roens summer the females produce young directly by a species of budding in their iuterior, without going through the slow process of laying eggs and waiting for them to hatch, hence its enormous rapidity of multiplication*.
In 1861 this insect did much damage in

It did not appear again in numbers in the United States till last year, and we seem likely to have our turn of it this year. No artificial means have ever devised for its destruction, but beneficent nature has provided means to check the ravages of such a scourge to vege- tation. Various insects devour it, but a minute winged insect, called by the learn- ed Aphidius Granariaphis acts as a parasite to the plant-louse laying its eggs and rear- ing its young in its body, and destroys it in greater numbers than anything else. These

This fine weather is very favor- able to the multiplication of the parasites and if it continues we may hope soon to see the grains plant-lice gradually disappear from the fields. A good thunder shower would do much to stop their migrations and save the country from a general attack.

| sins sem,
The marriage of Henry M. Stavley and Miss Dorothy Tennant took plece last S:tu rday at ‘Westminster Abbey. Stanley showed the ef- ‘fects of iliness, by which he was attacked a i day or two before, aud was compelled to use ‘a cane to assist him in walking to and from ‘the altar. The Abbey was crowded wich friends of the bride and groom. Stanley is the recipient of many costly and curious pre- ‘sents, which ioclude almost everythiog that the ingenuity of man caa devise. Among the latest arrivals—the gifts of the men of the ‘advance guard of the Kinin relief expedition —is a beautiful over mantel of ebony and sil- ver resting upon an easel of the wood. The

Now that the sounds of the celebration ;have passed and gone the echoes of the ‘past are heard floating on the air down
‘through the dim vistas of the long ago. Our celebration was in honor of the memory
,Gish who were men and women worthy of
‘honor; and who, though some of the» sleep in nameless graves in the old cemetes) lat Charlottetown, wore not unwept, are no
unhonored or unsung.
“ Nor you ye proud impute to these the faul: If memory o’er their tomb uo trophies raise. |
A monument to their memory in Caven dish where they lived and labored, batiled with the forces uf nature, and conquered — changed the face of the country from o howling wilderness into smiling homesteads and beautiful cleer fields on which thei descendants enjoy life would seem to be a fitting result of this centennial celebration.
Since the celebration, and after the ac- count of it that you published was written, I have been shown, by Miss Mary McNeil! ‘of Cavendish, some relica of a coniury ago. One is the corsets of Janet Winchester, wife of the first of the pioneers, Wiliam ‘Simpson.

brocaded silk, and also the snuff horn of | the pioneer of the McNeitl’s, and a portion jof the wedding vest of William .

The relics call up echoes of ‘** Ye olden: time,” when in the prime and vigor o:

**Roll the wild profound eternal bass in pature’s anthem.”
As a fitting conclusion to the festivities the Rev. Allan Simpson, of Helifax, preached in the Presbyterian Church on
‘Sunday from the text, ** Instead of thy 'tsthers shall be thy children.” ‘The sermon, ithough not prepared specially for this | occasion, was very appropriate. It was a “practical discourse and a credit to the rev. gentleman, who we are proud to claim as ‘a relative and a native of the place.
