The Locust ViSitut ion-It has been stated that
the seventeen year locusts were to be looked for
this season in Eastern Ohio and Western Penn
sylvia MIA. The prediction is being verified, for
the Pittsburgh Gasette says: =. ..rs
"We paid visit to the country in the early
part of this week, and were really astonshed at
the countless millions of locusts which swarm in
all directions. The woods resound with their not
unpleasant hum, and the coverings which they
cast off on assuming their wings adhere in great
quantities to the fences. The common notion that
these insects inure vegetation is now, believe,
entirely exploded. The locust, as is the case with
the silk worm when it emerges from the chrysalis
state, eats nothing until dies, having accomplish
ed its mission by laying the eggs destined to bring
into existence future swarm after the lapse Of
seventeen years. Locusts are greedily eaten by
fowls, and many kinds of insectvorous brds.'
Distress in Ireland.--The Bishop of Clonfert,
DR.. Derry, in acknowledging sums remitted him
for relief, says
Cholera has ragged with dreadful violence, even
in the most open country districts. Its victims are
provided with collins at the public expense. Those
who have died of famine or famine fever are not
so favored and although. eventually, in most in
stances, some rudely joined boards have been pro-
cured to encase their remains, the bodies have
been frequently and necessarily left several days
unnterred. The doors OF the wretched cabins in
which they died, or the scanty remnants of cabin
furniture, often supply the materials, when local
charity is exhausted, and when the priests cannot
apply to the nerment Of the dead, what is requir-
ed for the relief of those yet living. m

With all thy hallowed charms,
Thou mind'st not the rushing blast
With all its wild alarms ar.s --..

We listen to thy lowly moan
Of winds resounding through the air.

To upper regions soar
Sweet Spring, thou'rt gone at last

Farewell, dear Spring long farewell, ..

In other lands, with magic spell. ...

Excitement among the Grain dcaierS at the
VeSt.-An important circular appeared in the Al
bany Evening Journal of Saturday, addressed to Mr..
c. w. GODDARD Of Albany, by some twenty large
gran-dealers of Onondasa in relation to the mcsure-
ment and weight of grain. 1t is alleged that grain
measured at Albany from that part Of the country,
invariably falls short, and in that respect the New
York market is considered the advantageous
for their disposal Further, the evil has increased
to such an extent that large quantities have been
shipped through to New-York which otherwise
would have been disposed of in Albany. 1t is also
urged that the practice OF weighing only every fif-
teth half bushe is unjust, and that when grain is
sold by weight it should all be weighed The cir
cuar goes on to state that without some assurance
that greater justice will be done the dealers they
will be compelled either to abandon the trade find
a market elsewhere. From the statement set forth,
the journal thinks the circular is entitled to the
early attention of the Board of Trade
