destroy diseases Of the scalp, and expel dandru K
the cert1ncates OF distinguished gentlemen and
ladies In every part of the country who have tried
1t, and therefore speak what they know, most ful-
~ attest. That by proper use Of this Restorative

raj color TO almost any age allotted 10 humanity
by removing the cause of disease from the scalp
no matter how long standing--the concurrent tes-
timonials OF the press and the certificates of nu-
nerous respectable individuals Of both sexes to
the use OF this curative, as well as Of the recon-.

The GRAssHoPPlRs IN UrAH-The Salt
Lake City News Of june Ii, has further sc-
counts Of the ravages by grasshOpper in that
territory. 1t says:
The farmers ia the South part of this county
had several days of rejoicing last week, that
the inveterate enemy Of their crops had dis
appeared, many of them having sowed their
fields for the third time but on Friday after
noon an innumerabls multitude, a cloud OF
grasshoppers descended upon their farms,
learning the proprietors to speculate upon the
fable of the fox and the swallow, while the
more hungry swarm devoured the last remain
ing patches which had been left by the pre-
vious swarms, and the tender blade of the
third sowing. Any people but the Latter Day
Saints would be discouraged. The fourth
sowing has commenced; seed very scarce.
Some Of the farmers are drilling the wheat, az
seed has failed when sowed broadcast ss usual.
The same paper of the 9th says:
On Saturday and Sunday the grasshoppers
filed the sky for three miles deep, or as far
as they could be seen without the aid of tele-
scopes, and somewhat resembling q snow
storm, which latter would have been very ac-
ceptable TO the parched grass and cattle.
Drought very severe-the creeks low and the
weather hot, tho common house flies are very
thick, and are as Troublesome as they usually
are in September.
Amid all this wide destruction Of crops and
herd-range one seldom saw a downcast or
gloomy coun .enance, nearly all appearing as
cheerful as though surrounded by the most fs-
vorable prospects, thus plainly demonstrating
the strong confidence in the wise and just dis
pensations Of Providence, which pervsdes the
masses Of our population, and that, too, under
circumstances which would pale the cheek
and scatter the population Of any other COM
munity but Latter Day Saints.
