How TO KILL TIE GRAssHopPsRs.-
A gentleman from tho country. Of con.
siderable experience. called upon rs thit
week. and made some practical sugges-
tions regarding the manner in which tht
young grssshoppers msy be killed ns1'
spring. He ssys-snd it is fact mos
generally known-that the grasshoppert
now visiting this country are depositine
their eggs in the soil, and that next
spring the young will be IS plentiful Of
more go than those now here, and thai
they will be likely to remain with rs st
late As June. and destroy all the crops st
fast as they appear above ground. Hi
proposition is to kill them by 6re. Lei
every man throughout the State that il
10 any manner interested see that no prai'
RE fires are set out or alloaced to run this
fall or uinter. That is the frst and mosI
important step. In the spring as sool
as the young grssshoppers are bstched
out-and they will hatch out within I
few days Of the same time-let the prai
ries all over the State be simultaneously
Cred. This will kill off q majority o
the young. This firing will take plaet
at the age when they are unable to escape
it by fight; and if q concert of actor
could be attained throughout the land.
next seasons crops could be mostly eaved
We believe this the most feasible pro
ject yet proposed. and if the paper
throughout the State would second th'
movement it would be a success. LIE

next winter, ascertain the exact TIM
when those 6res should be put out in or

E The Judicial Convention, to no.

District, is to meet at Hiawaths, on
Tuesday next. Meetings for the appoint
ment of delegates were to have been held
on Tuesday last. The first we knew Of
it. was through the Atchison Champion,
received on Tuesday night. The Com.
mittee should be more careful. in the fu.
ture. or the people may find it out before
the day appointed for the meeting Of the
Convention. We presume q few law.

for the candidate selected by the lawyers.
