THE GRAssHoPPER PLAGrE.-We find il
an exchange the following interesting &C
count of the grasshopper plague which i
dcsciating the country west Of the Missouri
river, recently traverSed by General Sully
That officer, writing from Sioux City, says
:" The only thing spoken about here is TIN
grasshoppcr They are awful they ac,uall,
have eaten holes in my wagon covers, and
in the paulins that cover my stores. A sol
dier on his way here laid down to sleep ir
the middle Of the day on the praitieLtl,
troops had been marching all night. Hi
comrades noticed him covered with grass
hoppers and woke him. His throat and
wrist we're bleeding from the bites of thcs,
insects. This is no fiction. Last year, alIpu
Eve days' march from the Yellow Stone, w
met the army Of grasshoppers On tlSet way
east. After that suffered greatly for grass
and many Of my animals died The grass
hoppers made general cleaning down Il
this place, and here disappeared. This veal
they appeared very small, al first, but they
are fast growing and getting wings, then,
suppose, they will start somewhere else
These insects that have. appsAeGi this yeal
are no doubt from the eSgBNl plOse las
year, for there are none abOvd Randall, ol
