A gentleman who has just returned to Il

gentleman who has just returned to the
city from one Of our kennebec county towns,
says that if some unforeseen calamity doesn't
strike the crop, the farmers will have yield
of grasshoppers unprecedented for years.
These pests seem to travel in strips leaving
some portions Of the town, or attacking them
but slightly, and in others settling a full
swarming, rustling cloud of insect life on all
green crops. Especially since the hay has
been harvested the fields and gardens have
received the special attention of this hopping,
destroying tribe, who settle at the points of
the ears of corn, and eat out the silk, the life
blood of the kernel cut off the leaves of the
bean and destroy the plant; drop down the
heads of the grain till the fields look as if the
crops might have been threshed and sown up
corn, and the small garden vegetables disap-
pear before them, or only leave sharp pointed
spears or stems to mark where their path has
been. AS we stated a few days ago, many of
the farmer are cutting their grain for fodder,
to save some if possible. The ravages of the
grasshopper are fully as extensive in the up
per towns Of kennebec county and in Frank
lin and Somerset counties. A friend writing
from Monroe, Waldo county, is inclined to
take cheerful view of the matter, and says:
The grasshoppers have taken full possession
here, driven the fouls into the barns, gently
removed the leaves from the garden vegeta-
bles, and are now grading the grain. How
nice it will be not to have anything for the
vermine to demolsh. AS | have seen them
eating the leaves from the apple trees, and
absolutely counted fourteen grasshoppers on
single corn leaf, without any special prepar-
ton for seeing double, have wondered what
they will turn their attention to when every
green thing has been wiped out We think
that even this faeetious statement of our
friend does not too fully express the real in
jury that is being done in many places by
these plaques of the farmer But there is
such thing as abusing grasshoppers. They
are come to be held responsible for the rail-
the Argus of yesterday, in the gravest posi-
bic manner states that ''myriads of grasshop
pers had got upon the track, and had been
crushed by the other train, rendering the
track so slippery that the engineer could not
control the train" That's good! Nobody to
blame for that accident but the grasshoppers.

LONDON.

London, s. In the House of Commons to-
day, there was a scene of a severe encounter
between the leaders Of the Tory and Liber-
al parties Disraelie savagely charged Glad
stone with bad leadership, both in the House
and in his party, with waiting many weeks
on subjects subsequently abandoned with
needlessly invoking exercise Of the royal
prerogative, and with postponing important
and even vital legislation.
Mr.. Gladstone retorted that Disraele's So
called facts were but The offspring of his
Imagination and lingual powers, and that the
last time of which Disraelie complained was
due to the resistance by the Tories to the
electoral reform,

Supreme Judicial Court DanfOrth, Judge.

TUESDAY, August 2.
The jury in the case of Levi Lashus for
liquor nuisance, brought in sealed verdict
of guilty.
jury was empanneled to try Robert
Grady and Aonzo Trask for an assault on
two men who were riding on the Bonds
brook road, a mile or two out of the city,
with intent to rob- After the testimony on
the part of the government had been got out,
it was apparent that the offence was nothing,
but an assault by the defendants when they
were too drunk to know what they were
about. The County Attorney thereupon en-
tered mol. pros. as to the felonious intent,
and the defendants plead guilty. Sentence,
$40 fine each and one-half the costs.
Frank Morang was put on trial for felon-
ious assault on Lorenzo ID. Moody in Chelsea,
cutting him across the face with knife and
putting out one of his eyes. Jason M. Garlic
ton and Pillsbury for defendants. The
Judge charged and gave the case to the jury
Just before the hour of adjournment, with the
usual directions to seal their verdict when
ing.
The court is working with one jury only.
All the spare chinks of time are taken up in
the hearing of divorce cases, seven or eight
of which have already been disposed of this
week. In the case against Messrs. Colburn
& Taught mentioned yesterday, it was in
correct to state that the court held that they
had the lawful right to load or unload hay
across the sidewalk. The Judge only ruled
that the complaint in which they were
charged with that offence was defective in
law and quashed it. The right in question
undoubtedly exists. 1t is only when the pub
lie travel is unreasonably INSTRUCTED by the
exercise of that right, that parties become
answerable for a violation of the city ordi-
nance.

There are men in every community who
produce nothing; are simply consumers, sub
sisting on the industry of others, merely
drones in the hive where all should be busy
workers. These are no help to community
that wants to grow and thrive. There are
others who have accumulated wealth, retired
from business, and are content to fold their
hands in idleness, and simply vegetate. All
the help they are to town lies in the amount
of money they choose to spend for their per-
sonal and selfish qualification. They do not
help develop the resources of the place where
they reside; they wrap themselves up in
good thick coating of bonds and mortgages,
and carefully mark the time for clipping OIL
the coupons in order to have fresh funds for
investment. They do not spend their money in
manufactures or the establishment of bust
ness industries that shall give employment o
men and women, retaining at home the young

secured here.

Mr.. Z. w. Bush of Vassalboro' informs us
that the dead body of a man was found at
Getchells Corner, Vassalboro, in the river,
yesterday morning. The body was identified
as that of Samuel c. Kicker, workman in
the factory at North Vassalboro'. He was
a man of steady habits and had accumulated
some money. When found he had his cloth
ing all on but his pants. The probability is
that he undertook to cross the river on the
logs and fell in and was drowned. He has
been missing since Saturday. He was sim
gle man, supposed to be about 45 years of
age. An inquest was held yesterday by Cor
oner Libby.
