GRASSHOpPER.S.

The Farmers Union learns that in
some sections grasshoppers are hatch
ing by millions while in other sections
the eggs appear to have been destroyed,
and it thinks, that as this is not their
natural home, they may be unable to
propagate themselves.
We apprehend very little damage to
the crops this year from grasshoppers
unless we are invaded again by outside
hordes. AS for this immediate section,
as we stated last week, there is proba-
bly, not a pint of grasshopper eggs in
Mobiles county, but along the Minneso-
ia and Blue Earth rivers eggs have
been deposited and the pests are hatch
ing. These young grasshoppers will
feed on the growing crops, doing con-
siderable damage, for eight or ten weeks
and will then fly away. The chances are
that if they come this way they will
pass beyond US in their first days fight,
but if they do alight we shall probably
have to give them but one or two meals,
supper and breakfast. Our danger
here is not from the Minnesota hatch,
but from the Manitoba and other out
side matches. But as SO general a
movement as took place last year and
the year before occurs only at long in
teryal. the chances are ten to one in ia.
v0r of our escaping any serious grass.

1HzPHILHARMoN1osc CONCERT

TIKI RlACN44C}ssCu %txCEHT.
As announced. in our last weeks is
sue, the first concert Of the Worthing-
ton: Philharmonic Society will be given
at Miller Hall on next Wednesday eve
ming, May 18th. About'forty of our
best singers will participate. and we
have every assurance that the concert
will be of such character as to. do
credit to any of the musical Societies
of the larger cities. The rendering of
the oratorio of Queen Esther last win
ter was the first notable event in our
musical history, and the coming con-
cert will enhance the reputation which
Worthington has already gained for
musical culture and talent. That a
frontier town Of less than one thousand
inhabitants, should have within itself
the musical gift and training to do what
has already been successfully done, and
what will be done on next Wednesday
evening, is little less than wonderful.
The Society has been rehearsing for
some weeks under the direction of DR..
Craft, whose musical culture and skill
are sufficient guarantee that the con-
cert will be of a high order. The en-
tertainment is given for the benefit Of
the Society, the proceeds going to de-
fray the outlay incurred in the pur-
chase of books and preparation for the
concert. The following is the program
me.
PART FIRST.
l. Piano Duet-Overture to Caniph of
Bagdad.

Rochester has had a pronouncing

mistake not, the first pronouncing

the general verdict is that matches of
this kind are more improving at least
than spelling matches. Moore & Smith
have sent for some copies Of a little
book giving 5000 words which are
usually mispronounced.

EDITOR ADvANCE:-As my term Of

I wish the ADVANCE continued, for l
would not lie without it for thrice its

words to those who are finding fault

There was a nice little shower of
white rain OH Friday last and again OIL
Sunday night, covering the ground to
the depth of two or three inches. On
Friday morning there was 4 southeast
wind, and as these winds from the pc

predicted rain, and sure enough, about
ten O'Clock it set in with a beautiful
feathery drizzle. On Saturday morn
ing some friend of ours hung palm

we would need it while we sat in the
shade and planted trees in observance
of Arbor Day, but as the water cover
