A New Pmv-An insect hew to this aiction at leaat, haa attacked the iK'aoh and pear treea about South Beavllle. Our altcitioii was called to them liy CapL Thos. Tow'nsend of that place, snd tn an examination of some of bis peach trees we found them to bo literally alive with theae peaU. In sire they are not much larger than a common pin bead, they have six legs, and are of beetle shape and evidently belong to that family of losectn. They attack the foliage of the treea by attaching themaelros to the under aide of the leaves, and in a very short time from their first appearance, the foliage logins to wither and have the appearance of being scalded. The trees we examined appeared to contain myriads of them. We woold suggest that they he treated to a atrong decoction of

tobacco water.
