FIRE IN LoupouN.-In our paper last week. we sta
ted that the residence of Dr. Grady in this county, was
consumed by fire on the Wednesday night previous
Since that time we have learned some of the partcu-
lars. lappeared the family retired at the usual hour;
about eleven O'clock Mrs Grady relct of the late Dr.
Grady was aroused by sutiocatng smell Of smoke in
her room. She Immediately awoke the other inmates
of the dwelling. The younger Mrs. Grady was sleep
ing up stairs, with portion of her children, and had
barely time to leave her room, and go below when the
stairway fell with crash, scattering the fire in every
direction. The whole building was soon enveloped ia
flames, and in short time was mass OF glowing en-
bers.
The little family gathered around the burning build
ing, once their happy home in one of the most incle-
men nights OF the season. formed interesting group;
among their number were two daughters of the Rev.
George Ado, of our town. The nearest dwelling was
one-tourth of mile distant, to which they had to
walk, in their bare feet over the frozen ground.
The supposilion is that the fire caught from the fire
place in the sitting room, the weather was intensely
cold and large fire had been kept up druing the day
and evening.
AT tho time OF the fire the Doctor was absent in the
District. Hisloss is about $4,000, which was partly
covered by an insurance to the amount of 1890.

TOCIJST WEAR

The seventeen year Locusts will appear this
year in all those parts of Maryand, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Delaware, embracedin the following
boundaries: Commencing at the Delaware river,
near Germantown, Pennsylvania; thence south
westerly to the Blue Ridge of the Allegheny
Mountains along the east side of the ridge to
Loudoun and Fauquier counties, Virginia; thence
eastwardly through portion of Fairfax, across
the Potomac above Georgetown, through Mont
gomery and upper portion ofAnne Arundel coun-
ties, Maryland to the Patapsco along the north
side of the Patapsco to the Chesapeake Bay;
thence to Havre de Grace, through to Cecil coun-
ty, and Delaware, to the Delaware river, up the
west side of that river to the beginning These
boundaries are nearly correct, as they appeared
in 1884, though they may now vary. The locusts
will certainly appear on the south side of the Pa
tapsco, at least in small numbers. as during the
breeding season i'll 1884, great numbers were
blown over the river by high wind that prevail
ed in the height of that season.
In Fauquer county, Virginia, also, this district
laps over another district for several miles, and
though the locusts will appear this year on the
strip of territory thus doubly occupied, yet they
appeared on the same place in l843, and will ap-
pear there again in 1860, thus appearing alternate
ly in eight and nine years. Over the whole of the
Iarge tract ofcountry embraced in the above boun-
dares, the locusts will appear in myrlads. They
will begin to leave the ground about the Goth of
May, few days earlier or later, according to the
weather. From the lst to the 10th of April their
chambers may be uncovered by simply shaving off
an inch or two of the surface soil with spade
in any place where trees or shrubbery stood in
1884. They will resemble small auger holes
two or four inches apart; and the grub or larvae
may now be found by digging foot or two deep
in the same situations. Those who have valua-
BILE shrubbery will do well to protect it by cover
ing it with cheap gauze, from the lst to the Goth
of June. They do no other harm than that of
causing the death of small twigs, by their perfor-
atoms for depositing their eggs.
