Thieves Captured.

An officer and party from LexIng-
ington, assisted by number of the
neighbors, captured three thieves at
the residence of Solomon Burris, four
miles south of here, on Tuesday night
of last week. They werenamed james
McAlister, of Henderson. county, -
Bush, of Illinois, and fifteen year
old boy named Lawler, of Henderson
county. They had stolen a lot of
goods from a Lexington merchant and
pair pants from a Spring Creek
man. They had stopped at the resi-
dence of Mr. Burris to stay all night,
and had concealed their plumber in a
field. Bush seemed to be hardened
criminal, but the others took their
capture very hard. They were taken
to Lexington for trial.

shade Trees.

The time is fast drawing near for
improving and ornamenting our lots
and streets with shade trees. Some time
since we suggested the idea of setting
the College lot in handsome trees and
grass, thereby making a beautiful
park, which would be an ornament to
the town. Let us all club in and do
this, and then let each and every prop
erty holder set shade trees in the
street fronting his property. 1t is
not only pleasant and beautiful, but it
will be the means of making real
estate and other property in the town
more valuable. Who will start the
ball to rolling? We are all interested,
whether we own foot of soil here CT
not.

FROM THE COUNTRY.
Editor E.rchdnge:

4<'N''O' N>'''''N'''J
We have been reading and hearing
of depredations committed by grass,
hoppers in other States for the past few
wears, but not till this sumner has
this part Of the country been visited
by those terrible pests. Soon after
harvest myriads or young ones, just
Matched, were discovered in the clover
fields, and pretty soon they began to
attack adjacent corn and cotton. A
good portion of Mr. Mike Manning's
crop, near Lavinia, was destroyed, and
G. W. Bryant's crop, 3 miles east Of
Milan, would have been lost had it not
been for the persistent efforts of Nh B.
in killing and driving them from his
crops. He burnt great many of
them by driving them to straw, and
then setting fire to them. After they
had began to fly he woulI drive them
out two or three times 4 day, and has
succeeded in saving all his crop except
some eight or ten acres which is pretty
nearly destroyed. We are glad to
hear that some of Mr. B's. neighbors
kindly assisted him in saving his crop,
for which services they were treated to
a nice barbecue by Mr. B. Some of
the colored refused to assist in killing
them, saying: "dem grasshoppers
ought to be let lone, cause God sent
him here" We are glad they are
rapidly disappearing from Mr. Bryant's
farm. A great many farmers had de-
cided to SOW a portisn of their land in
clover next year, but since they find
the grasshoppers come from clover
fields they don'tknoxwhat to do about
it. Any reliable information through
your columns would be acceptable to
number of your readers.
1t has been raining daily for several
weeks, which has delayed farm work
considerably. Land too wet to .plow.
Millet that should have been cut two
weeks ago is stiil standing, waiting
for a clea: daF. 1t is thought that
cotton is inquired but little yet by the
rains. Corn that was well cultivated
is fine. Despite the hard times some
little improvements are going Oil on
the farms-such as repairing stables,
&c, in fact there are three or four ac-
tually putting up bran Pew ones. y
few more years will convince the
doubling Thomases that there are
farmers of taste, a. well as enterprise,
south of the Ohio river, and some of
them will be found in Gibson county.
