EARLY in the spring OF. :'57 the young brood
came out anil made such havoc that serious
fesrs Of famine were entertained by ~ large
portion of the people; but they left in July ,and
so many Of the late crops survived: that with
the full crops Of pArticularsplaces, where they

With Whist the people had the means uf purchas-
ing from below. The German settlers were
generally Of the opinion that there was not and
tke Priests sent commissioners to Dubuque to
ask contributions When this became known
in Lower st: Cloud Indignation meetings were
held. and strong resolutions passed condemn
ing measure as altogether unnecessary, and
one caic,fatedto do the country great injury
by preventing emigration in the spring. The
Correctness Of this view Of the case is pro-
ven: The third week of May is here. potatoes
sell at 23ctss per bushel, corn ,$l,OO, wheat
SIPS. oats, 81 cts. and we have heard Of, no
Instance in which any have suffered for want
offool; while q very. large proportion Of the
emigrants who had last year designed emi> RAJ
ting to this point have been deferred by this
bughear cry Of famine. and have gone else

Grasshoppers appeared last spring, and the
minds Of the people are set on rest as the ques-
ton Of whether til y left lave, last year, be-
fore they e'nigrate,l. It is evident that they
! went to other localities az they came here to
eat. deposita their eggs and aie, THERE'S no
sign that they have left any deposits here. and
asI everybody is putting in . crop of some
thing good to eat. we expect next fall to be en-
rmbered with surplus of the good things OF
