gathered up in his barb yard. after being
in the house some two weeks. They were
perfect in form and as lively as crieksts
when he brought them in, but the print
ing Office air is not healthy for than and
they have all '.departed this life" since
they lookup their abode with US. They
we're baiched from eggs which had gone
through all the exposures of frost and
freezing weather. and it is Mr.. Tandy's
opinion. we believe. that the late hard
weather has had no deIstrious effects or

the earth seems to b full erywhere.
Joe Baker, Of Pike township. has also
shown us specimens Of the sans kind

ApropOs, we may mention that our
tOWnsman. Mr.. Roberts, saw grassbOppers
as thick as they we're here last fall one

hatched out the next spring aud left with

hope that should they hatch here this
spring 10 euch numbers as their eggs in

Grass Valley predecessors. II they d
not, may the country BE- overruu with re-
morseless turkey goblers which will con-
t:nually "yank" them from every sweet

That's all the harm we wish than.
