The reports Of restitution. in Ne
bfaska and Kansas, caused by the
grasshopper plague, are daily becoming
more distressing. An Associated Press
dispatch from Omaha intimates that
the whole truth has not yet been told.
Death by exposure or starvation is the
immediate prospect of thousands in the
devasted region uuless relief is speedily
extended to them from some quarter.
We take pleasure in noticing that che
merchants Of Chicago are assuming a
generous share of the relief work. The
commercial relations of this city to Ne
braska and Kansas place their sufferer.

From the address Of the Master Of the
National Grange, Master Adams of Iowa, de-
livered at the last National Grange meeting
at st. Louis, January, 1874:
"Article xii. also demands most serious
consideration to definitely decide what in
depreciation shall be put upon the word
"pOlitical." am gratihed that our members
are substantially unit in the opinion that
the Order should not in any sense become a
political party. But at the same time, there
are questions most Fundamentally affecting
our material Interests 1rhich can only be
reached through lcgislation,--N seems IN
PERArIvE that such questions should BE dis
eusscd in TIE Grange. Shall it be said that
such questions were political in the meaning
of the Constitution? The questions OF
TRANSPORTATION, TAXATION, FINANCE, COR
RUPTIoN IN PUBLIC PLACES, tperc such as come
home to the consciences and pockets Of our
members, and they wish to know whether
they will be denied the privilege of can
wasting them on the ground Of politics"
To this suggestion the National
Grange replied as follows in their
NATIONAL PLATFORM.
eve empha&ically and sincerely assert the
oft repeated truth taught in our organic Law,
! that the Grange, National, State or SubOr-
dinate, is not political or q party organiza-
ton. No Grange, is true to its obligations
can discuss political or religious questions
nor call political conventions, nor nominate
candidates, nor even discuss their merits il
its meetings.
Yet the PRINCIPLES WE TEACH UNDERLIR ALI
TRUE POLITICS, ALL TRUE sTATEsMASsHIP, ant
if properly carried out will tend to purify tn.
whole political atmosphere Of our country
For we seek the greatest good to the creates
number.
We must always bear in mind that no one
by becoming Patron Of Husbandry, give
up that inalienable right and duty which be
LONGS to every American citizen, to take
proper interest in the politics Of his country.

BUFFALO VALLEY II. R.-This branch
road from Garrett, on the F. & G. X. r.,
TO Berlin in Somerset county, is to be fin
ished at last. Track laying commenced
on "Wednesday of last week. This road
has been graded for several years, and all
the ties scattered along the line. Owing
to some financial embarrassments the road
has remained in an unfinished condition up
10 this time. The friends of the road
always had faith in the completion of the
road, and the energetic and wideawake
President 5. Philson, Esq, left no stone
unturned to finish a project which his en-
terprising spirit had given birth 10. The
people of Berlin are under lasting obliga-
lions TO him for his unIiring efforts to in
augurate and push 10 completion high
way which will place them in railroad
communication with the balance of the
world. 1t is expected that the new road
viii be opened for travel by the 4th OF July

TAKE A PAPER.-Nothing presents a
saddcr commentary upon the present CON
dition Of society than the large number of
families, both in town and country, but
more especially the latter, that do not sub
scribe Tor asi)aper OF any kind. How
many families are thus growing up utterly
ignorant of what is going on in the country
around them-ignorant of the mighty
events ofthe day. But who can tell of the
injury inflicted npon the rising generations;
those who are TO take our places at no dis
tant day-growing up without any knowl
edge otthe present or study of the past ;
this ignorance, too. being imbucd into
them by the sanction OF those who should,
and doubtless do no better did they only
think OF the injurious effect of their insane
course. Let the head Of the family think
OF this, and place in the hands of those for
whom he is responsible, the means Of ac-
quiring some knowledge Of the moving
panorama in which we act our different
parts.

prompt with the leaves and buds are the
worms that iniest our fruit trees. They
have already begun to form their nests and
TO feed on the young foliage. With little
attention now they can easily be found and
destroyed, and we beg of every possessor
of fruit tree TO declare war of extcr-
mination upon the pests without delay.
The surest way TO kill them is to crush
nests and worms with the hand protected
by glove or mitten. in the morning OF
evening, when all are in the nest but
when on limbs that cannot he reached in
this way, better cut off the limb entirely
than TO suffer the worms to remain and in
crease. We repeat ii attend TO the worm
nuisance at once, when a good deal in the
way OF destruction can be accomplished
with comparatively little effort.
