enemy.
We hear that a few full grown hop
pers have dropped down in Rock and in
portions of this county. Where they
come from we cannot say. < If we should
have il steady southwest wind for some
days, we may have another invasion
from Colorado, but otherwise we feel
safe from invasion.
HAIL STORM
Quite a hail storm passed over the
county Oh Saturday afternoon last. 1t
came from the southwest, and was quite
violent in parts of Nebraska. Very
little damage was done in Worthington
nothing beyond the breaking Of a few
windows-but III the county there was
damage in places. Mr..
Brader, in Hersey, had a large frame
barn blown to pieces. A small house
and board stable OH Rev. Mr.. Smith 3
claim were also blown to pieces. Rev.
Mr.. Ogle's and Mr.. Walpole's stables
were blown down. Buildings here and
there were turned awry on their found
ations.
We did not attend the prayer meeting

rade'l before curious public. Brother

Of the Farmers Hotel Bakery about

the correction.
