as it stands in the church to-day, and
which includes the positions of both these

Mr. Lyman Cotton, of New Haven, says
the Middebury Register, discovered about
fifty grasshoppers upon the inside of a
south window in his house, one day in the
last week of February. There were stand
ing near the window some vases of plants
in which the dirt was freshly put last fall.
One would suppose that this had not been
winter especially favorable to grasshop-
pers, but these were probably of hardy
kind. Mr.. Cotton's theory is, that the eggs
lay in the dirt of the flower vases, and that
the warmth of the sun hatched them be-
fore the time. Moral, look out for grass
hoppers another season.
