The petition alleges that the assessors illegally fixed the amount of the assessment on the company property in Bergen on this year's roll at $75.800. It is further alleged that the assessment is greatly in exoesn of the true and assessable value of the property and is not in accord with the general ratio of assessed values to full values In the village. The writ commands the assessors to certify their proceedings in making such assessments at a special term of Supreme Court in Buffalo on June 25th. In the meantime, under the certiorari, and until further direction of the Conrt, it is further ordered that the collection of taxes imposed under the assessment and any tax levy on the property of the railroad company be stayed. Edward N.

Heath, village counsel, will represent the assessors at the hearing on June 25th. Phllndelplila mowers with fonr, Erer-Rendy Ball Bearing mowers and six knifes: with fonr knives! At Sodus, June 7. The tent caterpillar pest is giving the orchardists much concern in this county. In some of the or chards it has made heavy ravages, it being found uiuet active in the eastern portion of the county. The best way to combat the caterpillar is said to be either by pruning off or otherwise destroying tha caterpillar before they have left the original tree.

This, experts claim, may be done by spraying the trees with arsenic mixtures whii poisons the feeding insects or by burning the tents containing the caterpillars with a long-handled torch. If the latter method is used the burning should be done either in uhe evening, in the eorly morning or on cool or cloudy days when the pests are in their "tents." The tent caterpillar passes the winter in the egg stage upon its food plant. These eggs are in the form of a band surrounding the twigs and this winter many of these masses, each containing from" 100 to 200 eggs were to be found commonly on wild cherry trees twelve to eighteen feet high. At present most of these have hatched and the numerous, smull, dark, hairy caterpillars are busily feeding on the opening leaves. The caterpillars build small webs or "tents" in the nearest crotch to hich they retire during the night and during the cold or rainy days.

This tent is enlarged as the caterpillars grow. When full grown or when tlie tree is stripped of loaves the caterpillars leave it for other quarters. Marlon Has New School Principal. Marion. June 7.

Elesncr Carver, of Clifton are attracting much attention here. Several new ideas to which Mr. Short has given much study have been incorporated in the construction of the car. One is a new spring application of the cantilever principle which makes the car ride easier than other small cars. The car contains four-cylinder wnter-cooled engines of two and one-half-inch bore and four-inch stroke and are rated at ten-horse power with an actual capacity of sixteen.

It has a forty-two-lnch tread and a wheel base of 107 inches. The long stroke tight motor, It is said, brings fuel cost to a minimum. The machine weighs only 700 pounds. There is plenty of room in it for two passengers and it is capable of a speed of from forty-five to fifty miles an hour. CLERK SINCE 1867.
