n9T George +. Miller, Esq, has bought
the farm Of AR. Moore, near LewisSurg, for
$2l, 900. Friend George was farmer before
he commenced the practice of the law, and
we venture to say, worked harder in his pro
fession than on the farm. With how much
success The above fact is an indication. 4
little recreation would no doubt, do him
good, and we therefore advise him to fal
back again on farming.

THE CHRISTOPHER PLAGUE.

According 20 Gonzales Inquirer orthe 9th
ult., the swarns OF grasshoppers, so much
complained Of in Texas are taking their de.
parture from thLt region, the dir being filled
with the vast hosts all flying northeast. 1t
would take about two weeks TO get rid of all
rs very large number were young ones, not
fall grown. Great numbers were dying also
all over the country, while others were still
engaged in devastating fields Of coru, cotton,
and wheat, which had previously escaped. So
complete and general has been the destruction
that all the farmers will be compelled TO re.
plant. The counties which have been most
afflicted are Bexar Guadaloupe Caldwell,
Hays, Comal, Karues, Goliud, Nueces, De
Witt, Lavaca, aud Gonzales, and portions Of
Bastrop, Fayette, and Victoria. In two or
three OF these the wheat crop has been entire.
ly devoured, and in oil it will be necessary to
replart. It's mentioned as o singular fact
that the grasshoppers have everywhere spared
the Sorgho, or Chinese sugar cane. The Bel
ton Independent says that the grasshoppers
have made their appearance in Williamson
county. The San Antonio bodgcr Of the
24th says that the farmers Of the lIondo have
not suffered from the grasshoppers and that
tteir crops are doing remarkably WELL On
the Lucas IN Atascoso county,seyernl farmers
saved their crops By armiug all their people
uHu IH1DS Out ~ u II!"ss u Agut tue grass
hoppers. On the San Antonio river the
crops ore oil ruined On the Medina the
grasshoppers did not attack the growing corn
though they damaged other crops; while on
the Salado and Clboo they destroyed the
corn entirely. The Goliad Express Of the
Oath says that most Of the grasshoppers have
taken wing and fed from that region. They
leave as soon as they get able to fy, and are
daily seen rising from the ground going 10 an
immense height, as if to take long trip.

EY NEXT CONGRESsMAN.-W observe that
the question of our next Congressman is
already attracting attention In Schuylkill
county We observe that Joseph w. Cake,
Esq, is earnestly recommended. In this
county Col. James Cameron has been recon-
mended from several quarters. Among these
is the following, which appeared in the Mil
ton Democrat, few weeks since. The Wri-
ter refers TO the question of protecting our
iron and coal interests by revision Of the
tariff, which question will necessarily come
up in Congress On this question Colonel
Cameron, we know, has always been sound
THENEXT CONGREssMAN.
DEAR Cor. Eek In q conversation with
several Of my neighbors, on the great political
questions that are now occupying the atten'
ton Of the public, the conversation turned
upon our member Of Congress, ,'or rather, who
among the many deserving democrats would
be likely to unite the party at the next elec
tion. On this subject there seems to be but
one opinion. The vast extent Of iron, coal
aud agricultural interests of this Congression
al district, makes it one Of the most mpor
tant in the State, and requires tLatit should
be represented by one who understands those
interests and has the ability to protest them
All these necessary qualifications, believe
are possessed by Col. James Cameron, O.
Chillsquaque township. Such are the OPT
Mons OF the people in this part ofthe country
aud feel warranted in believing that il hi;
name is brought before the people it woulG
receive very cordial support.
1t is not necessary for me to say any thing
OF Mr.. Cameron. lie is well known in this
District and to the public men of the country
generally. BY giving this a place in youl
next paper you will confer favor on many

Points of a Good Horse.

In purchasing a good horse, sight,
wind, feet and limbs must be the upper
most object Of inquiryI for nine horses
out Of ten are defective in one of these
particulars. First, then, examine his
eyes, and do this before he comes out of
the stable; see that they are perfectly
clear and transparent, and that the
pupils or apples of tne eye are exactly
alike in size and color. Next, examine
his pipes if good and sound, on being
nipped in the gullet, he will utter
sound like that from bellows; but if
his lungs are touched, and he is broken
winded, he will give vent to dry,
husky sortsof cough ; look to his limbs,
also, and in passing your hands down his
legs, if you find any unnatural protuber
ance, or puffness, or if, feeling first one
leg and then the other, you discover
any difference between them, disease,
more or less, is present he may not be
lame, but he is not clean upon his legs.
If he is broad and full between the
eyes, he may be depended on as a horse
of good sense, and capable of being train
ed to almost anything. If you want a
gentle horse get one with more or less
white upon him many suppose that the
parti-colored horses belonging to circus
es, shows, etc., are selected for their
oddity but it is on account of their
docility and gentleness in fact the more
gently you treat horses, the better you
will be treated by them in RETURN
SPIRIT of the Times.
