that chs is the year and this The month
for the Appearance of the seventeen ye +
Locust" This statement with ference
TO the neghborhood of Richmond, is un-
doubt dly CORE I. but will not apply to
thai rart Of Vlrg MIA lying west OF the
AIrgh ny Mountains, for the Locusis will
not pesr in this country until the y ar

pose, 10 n the time of their appearance;
thr former being three years earlier than
the latter.
The Locus,s Of this couniry in the
year lS29 had marks on their wings
which resemblpd the letter N; some per-
sons thought III y resembL d w, and 9th
ers NJ; and | have heard it said that IN
the year 1912 they had the letter w on
their wings, which as a matter Of course
mean, "War;" aud have also heard that
in tie year 1865 the Letter P was on Their
wings. This letter denoted Peace. y
The Locusts which come above ground
this year suppose viii be marke with
the Litter II, signifying "Hard.tlmes."
