CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA MAY IS.

LocuStS.-lmmense swarms OF Locusts
are making their appearance among US.
The forest seems TO be alive with them,
and their mopotonous drone is heard in
all directions from morning till night.
There is something remarkable in the
natural history OF these insects-their
disappearance and return at regnlar pc
RODS of time-their habits and mode OF
production.

sumo an unfavorabIe aspect, and the
law having gone thus far, he did not
know but that it might go somewhat
farther; he therefore deemed it expe-
dient when the trial came on TO prove
an abb, which was satisfactorily made
out, and his character also, which was
proved to be unexceptionable. by high
ly respectable witnesses. When his
counsel rose TO speak in his defence, the
judge interrupted him, by stating that it
was unnecessary, and charged the jury
so clearly and distinctly that an immedi-
ATE acquttal was the consequence. Up
on this the prisoners face frightened,
| and as he was about leaving the box,
one of the bystanders, touched by the
hardness of the case, slipped piece OF
money into his hand The praisewor-
thy example was promptly followed by
another and another; aud finally the
jury called him 10 them and each con.
lributed his mite TO obIiterate the re-
membrance of the wrongs he had sus-
| tained. Thus in a few minutes this
fsimple and untutored conntryman made
more at the bar, than many shrewd
and learned lawyer does in twelve
month. We report this AS we con.
slider it unprecedented, never before
having heard of a suitOr escaping from
court of justice with full pockets in
this or any other country.

To remove Warts.-Cut an apple,
ripe, but of an acid quality; rub it over
the wart for few minutes, and in few
days the wart generally drops off. II
the first application does not succeed,
repeat it in week, from time to Tine
till it removes the exCresence; but this
is very seldom requisite.

He went down the ioathsome jour
ney of deg graduation and ruin, step by

consequence; imbecility OF intellect
followed; the waste and mismanage-

i've kindness of his temper vanished
and deep despair, and all the bitterness
of temper that springs from the wreck
of peace, filled his mind. HIS house
was turned into place of mourning
and broken-hearted wife, and neg.

picture of the drunkard's home.

her exemplary life and sincere piety, with the untegn-

In closing this communication, trust that
it will not be deemed inappropriate to the oc-
casion and purposes upon which we are here
assembled, TO indulge momentary retrospect
combining, In single glance, the period OF
our origin as National Confederation with
that OF our present existence, at the precise in
terval OF half century from each other. Since
your last meeting at this place, the Fiftieth
Anniversary of the day when our independence
was declared, has been celebrated throughout
our land; and on that day, when every heart
was bounding with joy, and every voice was tu-
ned to graduation, amid the blessings Of Free
dom and independence, which the sires of a
former age had handed down to their children,
two of the principal actors in that solemn scene,
the hand that penned the ever-memorable dec
laration, and the voice that sustained it in de-
bate, were, by one summons, at the distance OF
seven hundred miles from each other, called be-
fore the Judge of all, to account for their deeds
done upoh earth. They departed cheered by
the benedictions oftheir country, to whom they
left the inheritance of their fame; and the me-
mory Of their bright example If we turn our
thoughts to the condition of their country, in
the contrast Of the first and last day ofthat half
century, how respondent and sublime is the
transition from gloom 20 glory, Then CLAN
cling through the same lapse of time, in the con-
dition Of the individuals, we see the first day
marked with the fuIness and vigor Of youth, in
the pledge Of their lives, their fortunes, and
their sacred honor, to the cause Of freedom and
of mankind. And on the last, extended on the
bed Of death, with but sense and sensibiity left
to breathe last aspiration to Heaven of bes
sing upon their country; may we not humbly
hope that to them, too,it was pledge of tram
sition from gloom to glory; and that while their
mortal vestments were sinking into the clod Of
the valley, their emancipated spirits were as
cending to the bosom Of their God.
