The tree-defaeers are pretty thick in some of the orchards iu this city, but with their almost majical appearauce an', increase here, we have heard of none ot their exploits to match the following: Two trains on the Missi;-sippi and Tennesee railroad were recently compelled com-pelled to stop by the aoeuinu.auon oi black caterpillars on the track.
