Another eraaahopner Plague.

A correspondent at Oxford, n. H.,
to the Boston Journal says:
'In the lower part of this town the
grasshoppers are making great havoc
on the grass, grain, corn, &c. For
space Of about one and a half miles
square they are destroying almost
everything. Clover is trimmed up
all but the heads; oat fields look
like fields of rushes coming up to
the hight of16 or Is inches, without
leaf or head. In wheat fields the
leaf is eaten and the kernel is eaten
out. These hoppers move back and
forth two or three times a day. AS
we were looking at a field a day or
two since, the whole section where
we were looking became almost alive.
The hoppers began to move to some
other field. At night the fences are
black, and in spots in the field where
they congregate at this time they
may be gathered in large quantities.
There is already young crop of
bnGSO pSoOo Alob AoGOAOO lAOO C4lS6-
ence, and may be found on the stalks
grass (already trimmed) feeding on
the sap which exudes from or near
the lower joint. The inhabitants
have given up raising anything in
this region, and are now cutting their
oat and wheat fields. The peculi-
arity about the hoppers is that they
go over whatever comes in their
track. For instance, this same flock
came to a barn which happened to
be in their course, and they at once
began to climb up its side until the
jet under the'eave was completely
filed, and when going round on the
other side of the barn we found that
already they were coming down and
following after those that had not
met with the obstacle.-Last year
the inhabitants were troubled very
little with hoppeas. Where they
come from or where they will go
next, is hard telling.

A Leading Illinois Democrat for
Grant.

Hon. B. F. Parks, formerly Dem
ocratic member of Congress from In
diana, but now resident of Illinois,
made telling speech in Joliet on
the 13tn inst, severely denouncing
Greeley from a Democratic stand
point, and declaring his intention to
support Grant. He put it thus: "If
among the 100000 Democratic vot-
ers on this continent there Is no
man worthy to receive your votes
that you must throw aside every
principle of your life-thatyou must
cast away your hate, your love, your
very shame, and in agony of soul
take to your hearts your lifelong
enemy-the man you have always
abhorred, scorned and detested,
then 1 say 1 cannot go with yon.
CandidIy as a Democrat that has
been prescribed, socially, financially
and professionally; as one who has
been martyr to Democratic princi-
pies; as one who has always advocat
ed those principles, believing them
to be right; 1 say with that record,
with those surroundings, Mr.. Gree
ley can die ere 1 will consent to owe
him anything or pay allegiance to
him." And further: "This con-
spiracy against Gen. Grant has been
brewing about two years, and it was
and is based on the idea that the
Democracy are purchasable and de-
liverable. suppose / was in the
inventory on the 1st of January last,
but, gentlemen, they can neither sell
nor deliver me-" OF Grant he said:
"He never said to anybody that he
was Democrat; he did not say that
he was a Republican. He simply
said that if elected, he would attend
to his duty right along, and, gentle
men, submit to you the PROPOSE
ton that he has done it faithfully,
fearlessly and honestly" Conclud-
ing he said: "Fellow-citizens, tax
ing into consideration who are the
candidates before you, there is no
alternative for any true Democrat
but to vote for o. S. Grant for Presi-
dent. am here as a Democrat. l
do not call myself a Republican. l
have proclaimed to you what hon
estly believe to be the truth; no sim
lister or interested motives control
my action or give color to my judg-
ment. The conclusions l have come
to are the result Of the best consid-
Grafton 1 have been able to give to
the matter; and l believe it duty
owe to those with whom have usu-
ally acted, and to the whole people
of this State, to give reasons for my
| nresent action"
