try where grasshoppers had ralded,

his body, and he was so transparently |
thin that a man could easily read the
HERALD AND MAIL through him.

his season, so says Bill Ware, the shoe
maker. 1t is too large, he says, to be

;ause more trouble next season. 1t is
pity. 1t should all be gathered now
by Superintendent JEFF. Reeves. Such
,rops should never be permitted tostand
90 long. We would advise them TO 60
West or to Kansas, to grow up with the
country like the grasshoppeTs.
We understand that the "Mufins," of
