The LocUsr PLAGUE TO REAPPEAR
Tnrs YEAR - Mr.. Gideon B. Smith COM
municates the following unpleasant bit
Of chronological news through the Na-
tional LatcHgtncer:
"The locusts (Cfcaaa Ssptcm9eciha) will
appear very extensively this year, occ,E-
pyiag probably larger surface Of the country
tim those o any other gear. The follow
ing States and parts of States will be
occupied by them, viz: NsV York and
CoaRecticm-from Long Island Sound to
Washington county, New York; from the
Connecticut River TO the Hudson River,
and several counties in New York west
Of the Hudson River, to Montgomery
county, on the Mohawk River. Nee
Jersey : occupying the whole State
Peaasylrania---in that portion bounded
by Peters Mountain on the south Mahan-
tango Mountain on the north, the Dele
ware River on the cast, aud the Susque-
hanna River on the west. Marglaad--
from Anne Arundel county to the middle
Of st. Mary's county; from Che Chesa-
peake to the Potomac River. V1yiaa
from the south part Of Loudon county
to the Potomac River. North Carolina
-Caswell, Rockingham, Stokes, Gull

They will commence emerging in
North Carolina about The 10th Of May,
and few days later for every hundred
miles as we progress north, until the 1st

Is the Millennium, nt Hand!

The Rev. DR.. Cumming, the noted
London preacher, believes that we are
upon the eve of che Millennium. la dis
courses recently delivered in Lccds, he
gave interpretations of passages in the
Book Of Daniel aud tho Apocalypse,
which are novel If not convincing. We
quote from a brief report in On English
paper:
lie said the year 1867 seemed TO end
6,000 years Of the world's history, and
from the earliest periods onward it has
been the almost universal belief that the
six days of creation were typical Of these
6,000 years, and that the seventh day Of
creation, or the Sabbath, was typical of
tho millcnial rest Of the 1000 years. -
But he would say that supposing this
were so, they were at this moment 140
years short Of the G,000 years. II was
remarkable fact, however, that the
ablcst chronolooists, irrespective Of all
prophetic theories, had shown that a mis-
take Of upward Of 100 years had been
made in calculating the chronology Of yhe
world, and that the year 1860 of the
Christian era began not from the year
1904 of the worlds history, but in the
year 4, 1873, and that tho year Of Christ's
birth was five years before that, or in
1882. II his premises were just, then
they were at that moment within seven
years Of the exhaustation of the 6,000
years; so that if 1867 was to be the ter
mination of this economy, they had ar
rived at the Saturday evening Of the
worlds long and dreary week. If this
were so, it was a magnificent thought
taat there were some in that assembly
who would never die. They were Just
p'unging into days such as they had
never before seen; an European war was
looming, more dreadful than that through
which they had recently passed, and when
these things happened it would be seen
that the sentiments he had uttered were
not the dreams Of ianaticism, but the
words of soberness and truth He was
convinced that England would emerge
from the midst Of these vials Of wrath;
she was separated from the great apos-
tacy at the era Of the Reformation, and
had never again Joined herr and he be-
lioved there was now more living vital
evangelical Christianity in this country
than there had been for 500 years before
His study Of prophecy did not make him
gloomy, despoading, or sad man
but whilst Gods precepts taught him his
duties, His providence lighted up Bis
heart with the sunshine of Heaven, ant
give ahim hope that frightened more
and more to the perfect day.

The STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD
A correspondent writing from Roxbury,
Mass, says that DR.. George B. Winship,
the young giant Of that place, still con-
tinues to increase in strength. He now
lifts with his hands, unaided by straps or
bands, one thousand and fifty pounds =
This he car do with as much apparent
ease as an ordinary man can lift $50 lbs.
DR.. Winship only weighs 142 pounds,
and is but little over % years of age;
is educated and intellectual, and bids fair
to make wonderous mark upon the age
in which he lives.

And says-what says he l-caw!

Much Of the vanities Of men;
And sick Of having seen 'em;
Would cheerfully these limbs resign,
For such pair Of wings as thine
And such a head between 'em.

Dumb was printed by the inmates of the
institution, from the setting Of the type
to tho prcss-worll. BY aa act Of the
Legislature approved last March, the
3 )ard OF Administrators were authorized
to introduce printing for the purpose of
instructing the pupils. This was done;
and the Board say that the mute boys
engaged in setting type and in press
work, have learned with two fold the ra-
pidity OF speaking persons under similar
circumstances. They are passionately
fond Of the occupation and prefer engag-
ing in It to any Of the other recreations.
Their teachers find that it furnishes an
important auxiliary to the department of
instruction; good scholar and good
printer can be made of mute sooner
than it would be possible to render him
either alone.
