Elsewhere we publish I. communica-
tion from our friend F. Bloom, of Sew
ard, suggesting 4 method of escape
from our present difficulty. Mr.. Is. IS
plan is for the county to lend it's credit,
say to the amount Of $780, to pur-
chase stock for the settlers, taking
security upon their property, real or
personal. We have not given the mat
ter enough thought to be able to recon-
mend it square]y, but, as q last resort,
it seems we'll worthy the serious con-
'sideration of our people.
Not only the counties, but the States
affected by the grasshoppers must rise
to the necessities of the occasion. Ex-
traordina1y circumstances require IN
extraordinary policy.

rs THIS n GleASSlIOPPEIe COU.yTRYs
We frequently hear it asserted that
Southwestern Minnesota comes within
the range of the native haunts of the
locust. The facts, however, do not
sustain this. This portion of the West
is no more the haunt of this pest than
Iowa, Kansas or Missouri. The Rev.
Mr.. Baker, of Jackson. who has been
engaged in missionary work among the
frontier counties of Southwestern Min
nesota for twenty years, ssys no never
heard II ehe 9rasohopief in<adiB9 this
region before. Tho histesy Of the 10
Gust invasions Of this State are thus
briefly given by the New 'Ulm Herald:
During the present week we havel,ad
hopper questiOnn with A. w. William
son, son of Rev. II. s. Williamson,
whom our readers will remember us one
OF the early missionaries amongst the
Sioux. Mr. Williamson says his father
first visited Lac qui parle in 1881, and
went there to reside in 1885. IF any
such tradition existed among the Sioux
as was alluded to: in o,.r last-tl'at the
grasshoppers had once occupied this
portion OF country for seventeen years
1t was wholly unknown to Mr.. W.
Mr.. Williamson lived ut Lac uui
PArle from 1885 to lS47, when lie was
succeeded by Rev. Mr.. Biggs, who had
Mr.. Williamson returned, and remained
until the Indian outbreak in 1882. Be-
tween 1895 5and 1864 period OF twenty
years-Mr. Williamson saw or heard
nothing of grassl,opers in Southwest
ern Minnesota. Durin. tho summer of
1855 or SO u few hoppers made their 40.
pearance in tile neighborlood of Yel-
low Medicine, but did not get I'D as far
rs Lac qui P:lr1e, while south of Yellow
Medicine, along the valley OF the Mill

But III those days there were nu crops
TO be destroyed by them except the it,
tl0 corn by the Indians. The hoDpers
left tho country that fall, and did not
make their appearance again until 1864.
Illat year they came too late to damage
small grain, but they filled the ground
with eggs, and the crop of '65 in the
counties OF Mcleod, S;blcy, I1eSueur.

Il WOleD 10 THE DISCOURAGED.
EDITOR ADVANCE: A great many
people, discouraged by the gr,sshoppcrs,
are talking Of going elsewhere. My
advice to- them is to stay. I left here
last summer for the same reason and
went TO Chillicothc, Illinois. The
merchant was with there failed, and
most of the merchants are doing Il poor
business, many OF them not needing
clerks. Last winter mud was 50 deep
all winter that farmers could not get to
toxin to do any marketing. The coun-
try is Overruli 10y tralnls, and in the
towns and cities thousands of men are
out of employment. There is universal
complaint there OF hard times.

get|'er to keep him over winter in this

A SOUTHPORT SoANDAL.-The Bridgeport Farmer states that Southport people are talking about queer case of scandal which happened in that town within the last few days. A widow lady over 50 years of age, who is we'll connected, wealthy, aud has always been considered highly res- pectable, sent for the man employed by Mrs. Benjamin Pomeroy as coachman. and commissioned him to buy her bottle of whiskey. When he returned with the liq- uor they both drank of it freely, and finally became so exhilarated that social disparities were levelled, and they gave themselves up to mutual and unreserved spree. As none of the woman's family were home, the pair had full possession of the house and kept up their carnival for four days without be- ing molested. Wednesday, MT. Pnmeroy instituted search for the missing coach man, which resulted in his being found at the house of the woman mentioned. He was then partly undressed and considerably intoxicated. Some of the woman's family were informed of the scandalous proceed ings and she was immediately removed from the town.
