JOHN MINER, formerly of this
county, writes us from Raymond,
Rice county, Kansas, under date OF
Oath ult., that the grasshoppers have
destroyed the entire corn crop in that
region and majority of the settlers
will be left destitute. The wheat crop
Is good, but he thinks there is not one
fourth enough of IL to supply the coun-
tly in the absence of corn. Mr.. Min
er's entire crop has been destroyed by
the insects.
We have similar distressing reports
from all parts of the States of Kansas
and Nebraska. Many families are
forced to leave the country and return
To their old homes i'm Iowa and other
States. Others are obliged to sell all
their stock for such prices as they can
get, for lack Of corn to feed during the
winter.
