THE LocusT HAS NO STINo DR.. Gideon
B. Smith, the distinguished naturalist, has made
enquiry into all the recent reported cases OF
death and sickness from the sting of the locust,
and the result of his inquiry is that no one has
yet been injured by the sting or bite of the lo>
Gust. The detah reported by the Board of
Health as being caused by the sting of a locust,
he traced to be the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Sulli-
van, who assured him that the child had COM
planned Of its arm for month previous TO its
death, which was preceded by spasns, and no
one of the family ever dreamed of its being in
jured in any other manner. So, also, as to the
report of a young man having his arm amPuta-
ted, on account Of being stung by locust; he
traced this to It's source, and found it equally
unfounded He concludes by stating tn t the
locusts are now doing all the injury they are
capable of by depositng their eggs in the bran
ches of trees and shrubbery, and that they will
all die by the 25th of June, and be found scat
tered over the ground IN ev ry direction.-l Bal

to designers and makers of every article of
dress is, in availing themselves of the deci-
sions published by her Maiesty's Commissioners
as to some OF the object, which may be ad-
mitted to the Exhibition under section three,
viz hats and garmentS-and under section
four, models in any kind Of material (the con-
ditions being that they shall exhibit increased
usefulness or improved fdrms,' beauty of de-
sign and such degree Of taste as to come
under the denomination Of fine art to exhibit
at the approaching most favourable opportunity

changes Ito which the public already evlncc a
decided tendency from the present fashion to
a style consistent with the foregoing view and

GENTLEMEN's DREss.-I A protest against
the present costume of gentlemen has been is
sued by the English artists in a body, and thus
they discourse on the subject
ave are anxious to draw general attention
to the subject of costume; that which is now
prevalent in Europe being devoid of all the re-
0uisitcs for dignitied historic painting utterly
incongrucus with sculpture, and no less unfa-
vourabe to the living figure, both as regards
appearance and convenience.
Not to dwell on serious evils in regard to
health and comfort arising from deficiency of
ready adaptability to the hourly variations OF
the wcatacr, it is remarkable, at this period OF
advancing taste in architecture, furniture, and
decoration of every inanimate object, that little
regard is paid to a suitable presence. No cosN
tune Of which there are any traces was ever
so inconsistent with grace, simplicity, and Dig
nifty of aspect, none so uscessly complicated
as a Europeans at the present day. The unity
of the figure is FILTERED away. Stiff lines and
angles d sguise the body, and an uncouth hal
crowns the disfguration. Groups of men in
the ordinary garb crafty no taste but that Of
carcaturc: neither painting nor sculpture car
advantagcously transmit to iuturlty faithful
representation of any event constituted of suct
a group. Nor does admiXture of female fashions
often obyiate the difficulty. Family groups O
the present date have scldomany charm beyond
the kindred circle. To expect from art truth
/ ful representations of events in which our con
temporarics are engaged in their usual habits
is to expect meanness Of aspect to express al
that is noble. Interesting as such faithful
painting and sculpture would certainly be t'
postcrity, they must remain uninterrupted unit
dress displays the flowing lines and harmonious
colours in which Nature and Art delight. Ills
torcal subjects must continue to be sought II
remote periods, and to eXemplify chiefly th'
Imagination ofthe artist genuine scenes ofgrea
interest will remain unknown in this high de
partment of art.
The cause of truth, the interests Of our owl
times, and the satisfaction of postcrity, allk'
require the removal of such an lmpcdment t
artistic taithfulness.
We, therefore, invite from all countries eX
amplcs of the best style of dress, both mnle an,
female, combining dignity, simplicity, elegance
comfort and convenience, with a special regar
to artistic representation, and to the employ
ment of the various fabrics now in use, or tina
can be introduced.
Let it be not supposed that any sudden
extravagant departure from existing modes

play of individual taste and fancy still les

CROPS IN OHIo.-The country never presen-

at the present time. Natures mantle Of living
green is indeed feast to the eve.
The crops ofall kinds, if we except the fruit,
give great promise of an abundant harvest
Notwithstanding the croakings of last spring
the wheat looks remarkably well, as well as

good start, and is growing finely Columbus

and there was the pocket bible the gift of
mother now in heaven, hymn book, and a
small package of neatly written sermons, which
had cost him several months labor, and, as he
fancied, were admirably adapted to disperse the
clouds of ignorance that brooded over the in
habtan,s OF Illinois.
In the mean time the settler hunter or rob-
Der, in whatever vocation he might appear, had
replenished the fire with some logs of dry hick-
ory, while the busy housewife was preparing
the homely meal. 1t consisted OF fried venson
steak, corn dodgers, and highly favored coffee,
with the appurtenances Of fresh cream and eX-
cellent butter.
The missionary, who had eaten nothing since
early dawn, and was cogitating whether feml-
nine humanity would not afford him morsel
in the corner where he sat, was startled by the
-invtation-'Sit by, stranger, and take bite. -
If fsurprise and gratitude were the first emotions,
amazement followed when the apparent robber
mpored the blessing Of God in sonorous
voice, closing with an expressive AMEN !
Bcwildered and confused the missionary
forgot TO eat, until repeatedly reminded by his
now apparently hospitable landlord, and the
knd-hearted wife, that he did not eat-'Perhaps
he was not used to such fare'-'Would he take
a sup of milk lie did not seem to regain his
appetite until the officious housewife brought
on her platter of honey gathered from the hol-
low sycamore, and made divers apologies that
her Ia rdpr contained nothinr he could eat
After supper the landlord commenced religi-
ous conversation with the nquirY-'Are you a
profcssing man, strangcr?' The question REL
aive to church membership was propoundcd in
novel form, and did not convey to the mind of
the missionary exactly the idea intended.

s TATE FAIR FOR THE FARMERS OF
VERM MONT

II IL NJ y Il.
The undersigned have seen, for several years
past, the necessity of a State organization for
the benefit of the Agricultural interests of Yer
mont, and have witnessed with regret, the ap-
parent Indifference Of those whose duty it is to
establish such an institution. The State Soci
ETY., formed few years since, instead Of being
fostored and sustained as it should have been,
was suffered to die after brief existence
Wishing to revive State organization, and be-
lievng that no State in the Union can eclipse
Vermont, in an exhibition Of Cattle, Sheep,
Horses, and other productions OF the soil, we
have deemed it proper TO call the attention OF
those interested in the matter to the Importance
of securing the object above mentioned. We
believe that it may be easily accomplished by
proper effort on the part of individuals, and that
the establishment of an organization can be ef-
fected, which will SOON become matter of State
pride and support.
We, therefore, respectfully invite the sheep,
horse and cattle traders of Vermont, to meet at
Mddlebury on the 18th and lth days of Sep
tember next, and to bring with them their best
specimens of domestic animals Of all kinds
At this meeting those engaged in these pursuits,
so important to wealth and reputation OF the
State. can become acquainted with each other
and each Others stock; they can interchange
uIDHIUUS anu lIllOTUndlOn III TtldlluI ~ le Uesl
mode Of breeding; can make scales of speci-
mons Of their animals: and lay the foundation
OF a State organization on firm basis. Ar
rangements will be made with Railroads to car
ry the Cattle, &c., free of charge, and the per-
son attending the Fair half price. show
ground with the necessary enclosures, will be
provided, free of expense to those furnishing
animals for exhibition. 1t is proposed that the
Fair shall Continue two days, and thet the af-
ternoon Of ,he second day shall be devoted to
sC!es.
The public are assured that they will see at
this Fair the best specimens of the French Me-
rino sheep, many of them recent imporations,)
and all other kinds of Sheep-the best specimens
of Hereford, Short Horned Durham, Devon
shire, Ayrshire, native cattle and oxen-BIack
| Hawk Colts and their Sire, llamiltonian Colts
and their sire, and large variety OF Morgan
Stock and other kinds of Horses.
The publishers of papers in this State, favor-
able to the object proposed. are requested to
give this notice an insertion in their respective
journals.
