piciOus. Dispatches sent out by certain par
ties that grassh0ppers were devOuring the
crops, are wholly untrue.......The st. Louis
Republicans Kansas City special says: The
grasshoppers come into town, and cover the
sidewalks, fences, yards, etc, and the citi-
zens, instead Of going to church, have been
destroying them all day. In many places so
many have been killed that an almost unen-
durable stencil has been created, and sani-
tary measures have to be taken to prevent
disease. One man dug trench eight hun
dred feet long, into which he draws them,
and kills millions.

took place in Boston. A little girl of five
years, at the close of Sunday-school cele-
bration, was enticed into the steeple of a
church, and was found there atthe point of
death, bleeding from various wounds. The
sexton, Thos. w. Piper, a man of rather
doubtful antecedents, was arrested as the
supposed author of the crime. He was ar.
raigned, and on examination, person who
passed Warren Street Church about the
hour of the murder, identified Piper as the
man he saw climbing from the belfry window
to the ground. Several little girls have stated
that Piper had endeavored to entice then
