GRAsssHoPPERs.-Weu understand that
this terrible pest that has carried desola.
ton and ruin to almost the entire w est,
and whose paths have been marked by
the total absence of anything green, has
made its appearance in comparatively
large numbers, in some sections of this
county, and has begun its work of de.
struction with an appetite that bids fair
to devour grass, grain and foliage The
indications point to very small harvest
this year, and there is general appre
hcnsion of a great falling off in the corn
crop. The extreme drought has effected
the young corn very materially, and un
less the season from this out proves
more favorable, scarcely half yield will
be realized. In this community and
State, where the chief commerce is de.
rived from agriculture, n failure in the
crops very seriously affects all branches
Of business, and is felt throughout the
ramifications of trade. We trust that
to an unfavorable season, such a pest as
the grasshoppers may not be added, bu;
at present there sjust ground for appre
hension.-Std,tnton Findicator, udy 81.

The recuperative power of France
is wonderfully shown by the industrial
statistics of that country. Her impor-
tations of raw material during the past
year are large beyond all precedent, her
production of steel is more than double
the amount produced in 1869, and her
collieries, which in 1869 yielded only
l32,OO0,o00 quintals, yielded in 1874
l70,000,000. Similar results are shown
in other departments of industrial eff
fort Her wheat harvest last year was
in excess of her own requirements, and
during the first quarter of the present
year she exported 20,000,000 of francs
worth ofbeet root sugar 100000 francs
worth Of machinery, and wine TO q fabu-
lous amount. This large increase in the
productive industries of France is to a
considerable extent due to release from

for centuries had operated against her
