A GRAssHoPPER PLAGUE IN Kansas
Tkey Hide the Sun and Stop Rdil'cdy
Traias.--Our Western exchanges are
all more or less excited on the subject Of
crssshoppers. which are represented rs
numerous as locusts in Egypt during the
reign Of Pharaoh, sometime ago.
The Wysndotte Gazette says that on
Cross Creek. between Topeka and Wa
mego, they FL the air like .now-dakes in
a winter storm. In Marshall county
they have made their appearance in
myrisds. doing immense injury to the
crops and grass. The insects nre said
o resemble .ome what our common piai~
rie grasshopper. with some characteristics
of tho locust. They are travelling east,
and destroying everything vegetable
along the route
The Kearney Herald says 'hs. the
whole country for miles around is filled
With grssshopper'. They are destroying
the crops, stalk and branch. with nlarm-
ing breriy. By the last OF this week
they will have destroyed the last 'estlge
Of cultivated vegetation. and will then
commcuce on prairie grass aud sod pro-
duc.ior.
The Kansas CITY journal ia informed
BY John r. Griffin. E'q, who has JUST
returned from Junction City, Kansas, that
that section is overrun with grasshopper'.
They come in swarms from the West so
thick that the sun 10 hidden wherever
they appear. They are iaring sumPiu
ously, stripping corn fields and eating up
the grass, weeds, and leaves on the trees.
The Lawrence Tribune, We also notice.
makes mention OF their advent. and says
thrir ravages have so far been confined
to .racks twelve miles wide and three
hundred miles long. Some idea Of the
vas, quantity Of these insects may be in
ferred from the fact Of their having go'
on the railroad track Of the Union Pocif c
Road in such plumbers as to cause the
wheels to slip on the rails. The freigh
train due at Wysndous evening before
last was actually detained several hour
in consequence. Of the grasshopPers haS
ing taken possession Of the road.
