New YORK, May 2l.--A Greeley, Colorado,
dispatch says: The grasshoppers Matched
three and four weeks ago in vast plumbers.
Three fuurths of the wheat in these valleys is
destroyed, bur | 900 acres 10 the Uulon colony
is untouched. The grasshoppers are about
half. grown. In two or three weeks they will
have wings and then will fly away. A portion
of the farmers feel that they are ruined. Only
a little corn has been planted, but it has not
been touched. Wheat can be sown early in
June and make crop, but the great need ls
for seed. There is plenty OF time for planting
corn. and no gardens are yet planted. Market
gardeners save much by flooding and hiring
children to sweep the grasshoppers into the
bitches with brooms. ln other parts of Colo
RADIO there were still more successive hatch
iugs. Business men are loaning money with
out interest to buy seed. Il fire machine is 10
use and is effective, but it was invented too
late to save this crop. The pests are equally
bad 10 the mountain ranches. They hatched
month earlier than common, hence the dam
age. No visitation has been so destructive
since 1865.

last year were of divine Inspiration; that they
were designed to preserve the morals OF the
people they had occasioned the closing of I
distilleries and 597 saloons in ten districts of
Ohio; but the most beneficial result was the
impetus they gave to the temperance move
ment in the country.

A New Way to Pay Old Debts.

Benson Smith, Chappaqus farmer,
was served with meat by Mr.. John Kipp,
the butcher, until Mr.. Kipp became sat
isfied that Mr.. Smith did not intend to
pay him, and Mr.. Kipp's brother, who
drives the meat wagon, became incensed
at Mr.. Smiths failure to settle the bill.
One day last week he met Smith.
Young Kipp was on the wagon delivering
meat. He stopped Smith and asked him
to pay up. In the parlev the boy lost his
temper and said: If was off the wagon
would take it out of you"
Mr.. Smith smiled, and invited the boy
to get right down and do it. The &C
commodating boy jumped down and
sailed in, and after he had finished Mr..
Smiths cOuntenance was spectacle to
behold. Young Kipp, unhurt, drove
away whistling. .
MI. Smith then went before Justice St.
John and sued out warrant, and when
the case was called for trial a jury was
demanded. The jury having been COM
pleted, Mr.. Kipp's lawyer hurriedly asked
Mr.. Kipp whether he had given Mr..
Smith a receipt. "No," he answered in
establishment. "Then give him one"
Mr.. Kipp quickly complied, and Mr..
Smith took it in wonder.
"Now, if your Honor pleases," said
the lawyer, II wish to call your atten-
ton to the fact that the assault COM
planned. of was the fulfllment of q con-
tract duly made. The consideration was
the amount Of the bill, which the boy
was to take in his own way out of
Smith,"
The Justice declined to deal with the
knotty point, and turned it over to the
jury, and they lost NO time in. deciding
that the complainant had no case.
