GRAssHoPPERs IN WIsCoNsrN.-
Some fear is felt that indigenous
grasshoppers. which were TOO numer-
Gus for comfort in northeastern Wis
consin last year, will do serious dam
age this year. The following is an
Oconto dispatch
The farmers IN this vicinity are be-
coming very anxious about their
crops, as the grasshoppers have al
ready made their appearance here in
myrads. They are very small and
comparatively harmless as yet, but
it is feared that in few weeks they
will carry everything before them.
The ground throughout the farming
districts is literally alive with them,
and if they mature, there is evory
reason for believing that Northern
Wisconsin will be this year visited
with the scourge of Kansas and
Nebraska.

Important Decision Regarding Pen,
sions.

By an act of congress passed in
June, 1870, it was provided that
special consideration should be pro,
vided for each disabled pensioner for
the loss of limb while in the service,
this compensation to be paid every
five years either by furnishing the
pensioner a new artificial limb, or in
case new one was not delivered to
the soldier, the money value Of sucb
limb. The question having arisen
whether this five years could be
counted as beginning at the time OF
the application Of the soldier, or at
the date of the passage Of the law,
the Commissioner decided the matter
by ordering that the five years should
in each case date from the time of the
soldiers application. If disability,
such as paralysis, prevents the
soldier from wearing che limb, he is
also entitled to compensation under
the law. Pension Agent Cox will
begin paying pensioners who reside
abroad in few days Of this class
there are about 7O0 living in every
part of the globe, and it requires
about $4,000 per annum to pay
them.

CINCINNATI, Dec. u, 1879.
Cattle.-Receipts considerable short of
either of the two previous weeks but fully
equal to the demand for qualities offering,
being galmost'entirely of common to medi-
um grades. There has been very few good
OF extra butchers OF shipping grades offer
ing during the entire week. The butchers
generally supplied themselves some days
ago with sufficient to carry them over the
holidays, and as shippers were doing moth
ing, the market has ruled dull the greater
part of the time, and quite so tO-day-the
few sales made ranging as follows: Com
mon &c to Sc; fair to medium 81 to 4114c,
and good to extra butchers 4115c to sc.
Hogs-Receipts the first few days of the
week were heavy. This, in connection
with the unfavOrable weather, caused q
dull market. A decline of 1Oc to zoe per
cwt. was finally established, but did not
lead to much activity, as packers appeared
| to be fearful of both prices and weather.
Market to-day ruled quiet but firm, the
sales made ranging as follows: Common
to good light Sc 65 to Sc 90; fair to good
packing grades 81 90 to 81 Is, and choice
! heavy, 81 20 to So 25. A few choice lots
held higher.

was about equal the greater portion Of the
week. Saturday and to-day, however, the

WE crossed the track of the Scioto Val
ley railroad, on Saturday last, where it
crosses the Hooking Valley road, a few
miles south of Columbus. The rails are
laid ON the road some or 10 miles from
Columbus. 1t looks well, and the con-
tractor is pushing it forward as rapidly as
possible, the only embarrassment to the
progress is the want of ties, and we be-
lieve arrangements have been made to
supply ties as fast as the track is ready for
them.

The Weser Zeitung, Of Bremen, Dec.

capture and massacre of a detachment of
Egyptian troops by Abyssinians, briefly
reported sometime ago by cable:
We have had news from Abyssinia. An
expedition of about two thousand men
sent by the Khedive under command of
Gen. Abyssinians, was drawn into am
bush and nearly every man slaughtered.
Gen. ArendrOp Pasha and many other
officers were Utterly hacked in pieces,
their heads stuck on spears before the
Abyssinian's tents and their bodies sent to
wild beasts. Mackllop Pasha is said to
be alive and a prisoner. OF Col. ROuth,
the American, nothing is known and only
officer SchweiZer escaped.
An expedition comprising $4,000 men,
infantry, cavalry and artillery, is TO set
out from Cairo without delay and will be

SECRETARY BRIsTOw, it seems, is about
to turn his attention to the whisky villains
in Chicago, having made pretty effectu-
al raid upon the ring at st. Louis. The
crusade is likely to be transferred to Chica-
co, where is undoubtedly great need for
energetic, honest work to be performed by
the government officials; and we trust
that the work will never be abated until
every possible effort to ferret out and pun
ish rougery wherever it may exist, has
been completely exhausted. Letno rogue
escape unpunished, and let no effort to
detect villainy in officials be spared.

The Columbus correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, under date of the 9th,
says: ''The sheriff of Lucas county and
a half dozen assistants arrived here to-
day, bringing nineteen cOnvicts, which is
the largest delegation for the Penitentiary
that ever came to Columbus at one time.''
They ought to have Penitentiary of
their own in Lucas county. No county
in the State has more need of such an in
stitution, and no city of its population
could furnish more deserving subjects,
than Toledo.
