they may do in their further GREER is
matter of apprehension and conjcc-
tare In some counties Of Kansas
they have already done vast harm. A
gentleman in this city yesterday from
Neosho, Kansas, said he had seen
fields utterly destroyed in that locality
already. Their course appears to be
southcasterly, and their progress to ex-
tend not beyond the prairie regions.
Wet weather is wished for, in the hope
that it might check their career"
