Whereas 1t is alleged that grave abuses exist in

Every now and then a friend asks MS
why We didn't tell what the grasshoppers
have been doing up here. We can't; we
have ,ried but words lal us. We read
that All emigrant wagon recently passed
through one Of our western towns with the
suggestive motto painted on II, "D--n the
grasshoppersi" and that tells the story
here better than we could 10 II. We will
stale AZ IA fact, however, that on two or
three farms IN the south west part of the
town the Rrasshoppers form in immense
circles every morning and sing '''rhe farm
er's life is the life for me-" They have
dropped this now, AS d il getting later in
the season, for--"Weep not for me when
am gone" What the farmer sings We
don't want to tell; ii might not look well
in print. Now this story IL fact, but
there needn't ANY one believe it il they
don't want Ia. Tobacco has about played
out in this vicinity; we suppose the grow
ers all got rich last year. Once in while
We see piece which the owners say looks
we'll. That's the way consumptivos look
just before they die, and for some reason
We think tobacco looks rather consumptive,
or else IFS got the spinal complaint. Farm
ers have about finished their oat harvest,
and have nothing odo but accept Greeley's
advice and "go II fishing" We like tn tax o
that advice, IT'S a pleasant way 10 pass
ones time, aud perfectly safe for the fish.
So you see that even farming has "charm
OF novelty" about II 70 desirable To II rest
ivss mind. And, hy the way, does il take
any longer for our letter 10 reach you Than
il did before tho legislature moved West
Inureland from district No. Q To No. 10.
She hasn't neighbor now within fifty
miles, aud Is getting lonesome. The ad-
lnurntd picnic WAS more successful in re-
