Mrs. Nichols, late of the Brattleboro De-
mocrat, says that the drinks are now call
ed "leg-stretchers" in that state. She says
it is an everyday occurrence for some pas
senger in the stage-coaches, while the latter
are waiting at hotels for the mails, to say
81 guess I'll get out and stretch my legs, ),
which always ends in their having drink
somewhere in the hotel and she intimates
that it is perfectly astonishing with what
unchecked ease and frequency legs are now
stretched in Vermont.

4 GRAssHoPPER RoAsT.-lt is said that to
the Digger Indians OF California a nicely
cooked mess of grasshoppers is quite as pal
atabe as dish of plump, dainty shrlmps
would be in the eastern states There are
districts in California which literally swarm
with grasshoppers; and if we may believe
the Empire County Argus the following is
"a truthful description of the manner IN which
they are captured and prepared for eating:
A piece of ground is sought where they
most abound in the center of which an eX-
cavatlon is made large and deep enough to
prevent the insect from hopping out when
once III. The entire party of Dlggers, old
and young, male and female, surround as
much of the adjoining grounds as they can,
and with each green bough in hand, whip
ping and thrashing on every side, gradually
approach the center, driving the insects be-
fore them in countless multitudes, till at last
all, or nearly ALL are secured in the pit.
In the meantime smaller excavations are
made, answering the purpose OF ovens, in
which fires are kindled and kept up till the
surrounding earth for short distance, be-
comes sufficiently heated, together with fat
stone large enough TO cover the oven. The
grasshoppers are now taken in coarse bags,
and after being thoroughly soaked in salt wa
ter for few moments, are emptled INTO the
ovens and closed in. Ten or fifteen minutes
suffice TO roast them, when they are taken
out and eaten, without further preparation,
ana with apparent relish; or, as is sometimes
the case, reduced to powder and made into
soup And having tasted, not of the soup,
but of the roast, really if one could divest
himself of the idea of eating an insect, as
we do an oyster or shrimp without other pre-
paration than simple roasting, they would
not be considered very bad eating, even by
more refined epicufes than the Digger Indians.

Kansas to the Oceola Independent, that
the advance guard of the Mormon emigra-
tion over the plains this season is encamped
near that town This body numbers 1900
persons They are chiefly Danes, Swedes,
Norwegians, Welsh and English. Verify, a
selection of the northern European people
is likely to make hardy, industrious and
indomitable population. One Mr.. Curtis,
a mountain Mormon, commands the band,
which will start with 200 wagons, as soon
as the grass has grown sufficiently. There

industrious people, Chill. Met.
CUBA MUST COME IN !F The South may
repose implicit confidence in Mr. Pierce !;
nc IS NTH us. Why is Congress so backward
and timid9 Are grave Senators so tram
melled by traditional notions Of conserva-
tlsm that they are incapable of grasping the
full significance of the crisis? While they
doze III their seats and dream Of obsolete
conventlonalities, the irreparable wrong may
be consummated, and Cuba be lost forever
The people of the South are not so blind or
SO apathetic. They see the opportunity, and
they expect their representatives to seize and
turn it to account. They will tolerate no
luke-warmness, much less opposition, in
carrying out the scheme for the annexation
of Cuba. - Richmond Enquirer.
Cuba is wanted, not for the commercial
advantages it offers, but because the South
must reinforce the powers of slavery as an
element Of political control" This is the
issue rendered. The Democracy of numbers,

it. o. S. Jour-

AcoUITTAL OF Col. CoLL1ER.-Col James
Collier, of Steubenville, Ohio, and collector
of customs at San Francisco, has been for
some time under trial as defaulter to the
government, in the southern district court of
New York. On the 9th inst. the jury return
ed a special verdict, completely acquitting
him of the charges preferred against him, and
demonstrating that instead OF being indebted
to the government the government was re-
ally indebted to him, in very large sum,
the amount hereafter to be determined by the
court, the questions upon which the amount
depends, being questions Of law rather than
of fact After the efforts which have been
made to convict Mr.. Collier by the locofoco
press, this finding of a jury of his country
men, must be in the highest degree crafty
ing, not only to himself, but to his friends,
whose confidence in his integrity has never
for moment faltered.-L Aenia Torchlight.
