NECESSITY OF SLEEP.-There are many
thousands of busy people who die for want
of sleep every year. Sleeplessnees becomes
disease, and is the precursor of insanity.
We speak of sleep as the image of death,
for it is the period in which the waste of
the system ceases, or is reduced to the
minimum. Sleep repairs the waste which
waking hours have made. It rebuilds the
system. The night is the repair-shop of
the body. Every part of the system is
thoroughly over hauled, and the organs,
tissues and substances are Teplenished.
Waking consumes and exhausts sleep re-
places and repairs. A man who would be
q good worker must be good sleeper. A
man has as much force in him as he has
provided for in sleep. The quality of meD
tai activity depends on the quality of
sleep. Men need, on an average, eight
hours of sleep day. A Emphatic tenn
permanent may require nine; nervous
temperament six or seven. A Emphatic
man is sluggish, moving and sleeping
slowly. But o nervous man acts quickly
in everything. He does more in one hour
than sluggish man in two hours; and 30
in his sleep. Every man must sleep accor-
ding to his temperament but eight hours
is the average. Whoever, by work, pleas
ure, sorrow, or any other cause, is regularly
diminishing his sleep is destroying bis life.
A man may hold out for q time, but the
crash will soon come, and he will die"

Fhe Grasshopper.

In our issue Of the 9th. we reported
the crop prospects of this county as
being extraordinarily good, in fact bet
ter than we ever known thus early in
the season. and that with the exception
of a small strip of the country along the
west side, u county was entirely free
of grasshoppers, but ON the very next
day after getting out u paper, the
'hoppers came upon us from the south
in perfect clouds, the whole heavens ap-
peared to be literally filled with them.
Immense numbers of them continued to
drop until late in the evening, and as
soon as they found a resting place they
commenced the work Of destruction;
whole fields of young corn were de-
voured by them in the short space of
two or three heurs; they appeared to
work in patches, and while several adj
joining fields would be entirely con-
sumed, other fields near by would es-
cape without much injury. Those that
came In at first disturbed only the corn,
but the succeeding flights, of which
there have been three or four, have done
considerable damage to the small grain.
The first flight did not reach further
east than on a line with this place, but
unfavorable winds have since then car
ried them as far east as tho Daviess
county line. The greatest damage,

G~rasshoppers Abroad.

The Echo, published at Greenoastle,
Franklin county, Penn, says the grass
hoppers are devastating a great many
wheat and clover fields in the western
part of Antrim and portions of Peters
and Montgomery townships. They ap-
pear in great numbers and strip the
clover and wheat stalks, leaving moth
ing but the stems and damaged heads.
They are smaller than the western
pests, but are large enough to totally
destroy the growing crops.
And the ~Tippecanoe, Miami county,
Ohio, Herald says:
Millions of grasshoppers were seen
by persons travelling between this place
and Fredericksburg a few days ago. We
also hear of the pests in other parts Of
the State, but haYe not learned Of their
doing any damage as yet.

Rapid Progress Of the Southern
Pacific Railroad.

The Real Estate Circular, says:
People are aware that work is and
has for some time been progressing
on the extension of the Southern Pa
cific railroad in the southern coun-
ties. The details have not, however,
been often, if fever given connectedly.
We append particulars in a shape
that will, we think, make plain to ev-
cry one the progress that has recently
been made: On the 26th ultimo the
central and Southern Pacific cars
first ran to Caliente Station, which
is at the foot of the mountain near
Tehechepa Pass, beyond the south
east of Bakersfield, Kern county. The
next section of 81 miles, over and
through the pass, includes IL tunnels;
the longest one will be 1,190 feet in
length; the aggregate length Of the
II tunnels will be about 5,357 feet.
This heavy work is in soft granite
rock, and is already well covered with
men and machinery; about ten
months will be required to complete
it ready for the track. BEYOND this
section the character of the work is
comparatively light, and may then be
ready for the tracklayers to 60 on
without interruption to Soledad
Pass, where the track from Los An
giles through the San Fernando Pass,
will meet and unite with it, making a
complete line of railroad from San
Francisco to Los Angeles. At the
same time the Southern Pacific line,
continued from Los Angeles south,
by way of San BernardinO. is being
rapidly constructed to the San Cor
gonio Pass, to which point Seventy
eight miles Los Angeles) the cars will
be running by the 18th of June next.
A contract for grading an additional
section of fifty miles Ito Dos Palmos)
has just been executed, to be compile
ted August 1st, 1875. This will leave
but eightv-nine miles to the state
line and Arizonia, at Fort Yuma, on
the Colorado river.

Destroying Insects.

A French horticulturalist suggests
this plan: After sunset I place in the
center of my orchard an old barrel, the
inside of which 1 have previously we'll
tarred. At the bottom Of the barrel l
place a lighted lamp. Insects of many
kinds, attracted by light, make for the
lamp, and while circling around it.,
strike against the side Of the barrel,
where, meeting with the tar, their wings
and legs become SO clogged that they
fell helpless to the bottom. In the
morning | examine the barrel, and fire.
quently take out of it ten or twelve
quarts of cockchaters, which l at once
destroy. A few pence worth of tar en-
ployed in this way will, without any
further throuble, be the means of de-
stroying lnnumerable numbers of these
insects, whose Larvae are amongst the
most destructive pests the gardener or
farmer has to contend against.-Science
of Health.

The Osborn, De kalb, correspondent
Of the Plattsburg Lever furnishes that
paper the following item:
A robbery was committed here on
last Sunday night by Jno. VIII Truax,
who secreted himself under the bed that
his father and Rev. Saunders were
sleeping on. BY cutting the mattress he
secured the store and safe keys OF his
fathers store. Before leaving the house
he got his fine gold watch and chain.
He then went through the store taking
$3.50 in money, a suit of clothes and a
large satchel full of dry goods. He
boarded the train at Perrin. Monday a.
n. His father and an officer pursued
Lin to Leavenworth, where they cap
tured him, getting back most of the
stolen property and letting him go.

however, is west OF this place, where.
in many places, the grass and Oat crops
have been entirely destroyed. The corn
cut off by the first hoppers has already
made a considerable growth. and if it is
not again cut down, will make good
corn. Monday the air was again filled
with the flying insects, and We received
our share of them, but yesterday they
concluded to wing further north. and at
this writing, Tuesday evening there are
nc 'hOppers here to speak of. Reports
reach us from the lower counties that
they have nearly disappeared from
those counties, and if this be the case,
we too shall soon be rid of them. The
grasshoppers fell as far north as Platts-
mouth, Neb., on the same day, and the
damage to the crops there is reported as
greater than in u county.-Maysvil e
Register, 23d.

of rain this fall, this country will be
no where in corn compared with the
west.

thing full and plenty, 1 could but

Letter From Ontario.
PORT BURWELL,
ELGlN Co., ONT.

ED. REPUBLICAN:-The REPUBLI-
CAN having arrived at this place, near
my cold, old home" as an old friend,
1 acknowledge the receipt thereof,a and
now try to communicate a little; for
"to do good and communicate" is a
part of the holy writ that we ought
to heed and obey.
The season is very backward and
until this week very cool, especially
nights. We had two or three light
frosts in June, and it has been very
dry, so that some crops were "scorch-
ing;;' but in the last three days CO.
pious showers have fallen, the wealth
CT has become warmer and all nature
has assumed q brighter and 10
beautiful aspect, cheering the farmer,
mechanic and everybody else; bust
ness seems to revive and many are
hopeful of a change for the better.
Many here in Canada sympathise
with those in Missouri and the West,
Oh account of the "grasshopper
plague" and many, doubtless, would
contribute to their aid, were contri-
buttons called for and a way opened
by which help could be given. The
potato bug is a great nuisance here,
but not so bad as they have been.
Some are still planting, some hoeing,
and some are moving. Excursions,
pic mics, shows and celebrations are
the order Of the day now. Many
towns and villages are preparing to
celebrate "Dominion Day." July list.
The Baptists are holding their Asso-
Citations through the Provinces this
month, and some other religious So
cieties their anniversaries. A dis
cussion is to take place the coming
week at Aylmer, between Prof. Un-
derwood, an infidel, and Elder o. A..
Burgess of the Christian Church, con-
corning the religion of Jesus Christ,
whether it be true Or not. Elder
Burgess affirms Underwood denies.
We were surprised and astonished
at the delinquent tax list of Andrew
county, and hope and pray that the
pesty grasshoppers may leave and the
farmers have a good crop so they may
pay off their indebtedness.
Yours as ever,

Elder McCune, who was bitten by a
r2~ttle-snake last Friday, has almost en-
tirely recovered from the effects of the
poison. He was taking a stroll through
his corntleld, and noticing a small bunch
OF weeds growing near a hill of corn,
reached down his hand and pulled them
Up. While in the act of doing this, the
snake which was concealed in the weeds
struck him with lis fangs on one of his
fingers. He Immediately killed the
snake and, tightly COMPRISING the
wounded finger with the other hand,
hurried home and sent post haste for
some whiskey. He drank a copious
quantity Of this and kept under the in
1Uence of it until the power of the poi
son was overcome, and he recovered so
rapidly that he was able to fill his pull
PIT on Sunday last. He describes the
pam as the most intense and peculiar
Which he ever experienoed.-Moberl
