LOCUSTB.—Fresh flights of locusts have once
more visited Queen's Town, and done a deal of damage tar
the young grass, At Haas Fontein, Mr T. Miller has again'
been a severe sufferer, the locusts having destroyed all hi%
young crops, and eaten off all the new grass. From thence
to the commonage they have left a track as barren tiss
wilderness. They have settled down on the thorns on the
borders of the commonage close to Mr Fincham's. Here
they may be seen in myriads, having eaten off every greet'
leaf from the thorn bushes that abound in those parts. We
never saw anything to equal this. The trees appeared tut
though they were covered with a thick glittering brows
moss, while all round the roots the locusts lay about six
inches thick.—Cape of

These wonderful productions have now become so apprer
elated in every part of the world, that they form a come
plete household treasure; the worst cases of ulcers, wounds,
and every valid* of skin diseases, for which so many reme,
dies have been tried without effect, readily succumb to their
power; they act so miraculously upon the system, as to be
considered a complete phenomenon in the healing art. For
this reason they are advocated by many modern practitioners
after everything else has proved unsuccessful. Those com-
plaints especially, which %Net the sedentary and studious,
give way, as mist
before the rising sun, to the influence
of the pills. Exern4l wounds are Sd readily healed under
