The Western papers are making active
representations of the suffering that is
impending over certain of the agricultural
regions on account of the failure of the
crops and the ravages of the grasshoppers.
The St Louis Republican, speaks for Kan
sas and Arkansas, where the growing
crops of all kinds, including the fruit,
were deyoured in green condition, the
grass and leaves of the trees destroyed,
and the face of the country left as desolate
as il blasted by FIRE. Many of the settlers
are packing up aud leaving, with what
little is left them, for other States, but
thousands are in no condition to leave,
and appeals in their half are being cir
culated The relief afforded by the small
amount Of bonds issued by the authority
Of the Legislature is inadequate to the
necessities of the people. In Arkansas
the drouth has cut the cotton crop in
many of the counties down TO one-third of
its average, aud almost entirely destroyed
the corn, leaving many planters and farm
ers nearly destitute in the face of approach
ing winter. From Nebraska reports are
equally disheartening, and are made on
the authority of General Ord commanding
the department Of the Platte, who is per-
sonally cognizant of what he writes about.
In letter to the Chicago Board Of Trade
he tells the sad story of the destitution in
the Nebraska counties, situated west of
the Missouri river. Seven thousand peo
pie are actually in want of food and cloth
ing, and experiencing the horrors of
famine He states that several cases of
death from starvation have already occur
red. Fathers have been compelled to
abandon their families and seek for work
and food. In one house the corpse OF
child that had persisted for lack of food
was found, and near il the mother, pros
trate and dying from the same cause. The
Board of Trade Immediately on receipt of
the letter went vigorously to work to send
relief to the sufferers, but ii is evident
that more than local efforts will be requi-
site to ameliorate the terrible condition Of
these stricken people in the three States
from which the greatest complaints come.
The Nebraska Relief and Aid Society
at Omaha are receiving contributions to
meet immediate demands. They have
sent nine car loads of provisions for dis
tribution among the destitute, and expect
to be able to forward six car loads of pro-
visions and clothing per week

CONE, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER

CONE, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER,
To the afflicted in body, we say a few
words Of plain, practical reasoning. No
matter under what form of sickness YOU
labor there is one great truth you
should ever keep in mind, viz: All dis
ease originates in an impure condition
of the blood. Purify that, and the dis
east must depart, for it has nothing to
feed on; but you cannot purify the
blood by the use of poisonous drugs
and exhaustive stimulants the relief
which these afford is temporary and de-
ceptive, leaving you worse off at every
interval. The best Blood Purifier eyer
discovered is DIR. WALKERS FAMOUS
VINEGAR BrrTEIs, compounded of simple
herbs. No matter how hopeless your
case may seem, try the VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, and a few draughts will convince
you of the virtue. DR.. Walker. the dis
coverer of this priceless remedy, had
been given up to die by the physicians,
and is now a sound and healthy man
from their use. SO
