STOP THE RASCAL!
We learn that man calling himsel
Charles Miller, and possibly othe1
aliases, is travelling along the line O.
the st. Paul & Sioux City r. r. solicit
ing funds for families in Southwestern
Minn., who have lost their crops b,
grasshoppers. We understand that liz
presents good testimonials from mem
bers of the National Colony and from
leading citizens of Mobiles County. W.
cannot learn that any such man is au
thor1zed to solicit donations for thi
county, and we have no doubt he is al
ARRANT 1MPosToR, and should at onc'
be arrested. Exchanges please copy.
Mr.. Hoyt sent barrel of grasshop
pers to his friends in st. Paul the othe
day. They are so numerous up this wa,
that we do not think they are much o
a luxury, but down about st. Paul the,
will doubtless he appreciated as deli
cacy of the first water. For the bene
fit of those who receive them, we woul,
say that the Indians dry and pulveriz
them and then bake them into yer,
palatable cake. John the Baptis
seems to have mixed them with will
honey and subsisted on them in tn
wilderness.
