Mr.. EDITOR:
Since you last heard from me there
have no very important changes taken
place, although some Of our citizens
have gone to the Centennial show, among
whom are the Vining Brothers. MIR. Gil.
Allen and wife returned from there about
ten days ago.
Our special police force are quite busy
SOLDERING off tramps who are found drunk
daily on the sidewalk, by putting them in
the calaboose.
Grasshoppers were flying over this place
on Friday and Saturday last, in large
numbers, they were travelling in u south
easterly direction. A very few were
caught and upon examination were
found to be full of eggs.
Another heavy ram last night will make
grain unfit TO stack for several days.
There has been no wheat threshed in this
vicinity, but the crop is estimated at
about two thirds as heavy as last year.
What has become of the Charter for a
Good Templars Lodge that was obtained
about year ago. There is a splendid
chance for Lodge to do some good work
here now, especially among the young
men who arc seen almost daily stagger-
ing along our streets, making themselves
obnoxious to all we'll disposed people,
Politics is very quiet here. There has
been no Office seekers around yet to look
after the interests of the people, but we
may expect them soon, although the
Republican has given us timely warning
to act independently of any cliques OF

The Red Parasite.

Much has been said each year about
the red parasite which accompanies the
grasshopper, and we have heretofore taken
little stock in statements that they were
destroying the eggs But there is no
doubt that they are doing ef1ectual work
this year. In many places the ground is
almost red with them, and scarcely a
grasshopper cocoon can be found that is
sound. In Worthlngton and the immedi.
ate vicinity they are doing the most etfec.
tt1al work, and We hear the same from
other parts of the country. They seem to
hatch in the cocoon, being Of different
sizes, and they eat voraciously. Under
the lens, they appear about the size Of a
house fly, and are clothed in red plush OF
exceedingly beautiful texture and color
Advance.
