anticipated . Senatorial election when it
lately refused to pass a bill declaring
bribery = felonious offcnse. The wisdom
and true purity seen therein is taken from
sermons found in running brooks and the

occasions in Minnesota.

: (Prof: Riley Of Missouri in N. Y: Trihane.]
The number Of eggs laid in the States
Of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska by the
few struggling insects that passed over
that country last fall will not equal that
laid in ordinary seasons by indigenous
species. In Colorado, also, there have
been in most parts such abundant; rains
since locust eggs were laid, and the ground
has been so unusually moist, that there is
some hope that the bulk Of the eggs are,
or will be, destroyed. The events Of the
past eighteen months have so fully borne
out such predictions rs I felt warranted
in making, that my opinion on this sub.
ject may have some weight.
I give it my belief that, first, in the
three States mentioned, there will not
hatch as many locusts next spring as
would naturally hatch in ordinary sea-
sons from the eggs Of indigenous species;
second, that, compared with other parts
Of the country, those States ravagcd by
locusts last spring and early summer will
enjoy the greatest immunity during the
same seasons of 1876, not only from
locust injuries, but from the work OF
most other noxious insects, except the
woodborers. In short, the people of the
ravagcd section have reason to be hope.
ful rather than gloomy. They will Ger.
tainly not suffer in any general way from
locust injuries in the early season; and
the only way in. whick they can suffer
from the migrating pests is by fresh
swarms later in the year from the far
northwest. the odds being, however, from
number Of reasons which it is unneces.
sary to cnumeratc here, very g,eat
against any such contingency.
