GRAssHoPPERs.-On the banks of
the Walnut, last Sunday, we run \
knife blade into the ground In Q num-
Der of places where we had seen great
numbers of grasshoppers, and in every
instance found one-sixth Of the entire
soil for hat inch down, filed with
grasshopper eggs. One-thirti of them,
however, had been destroyed by q
small white worm, which was steadily
at work. In the eggs not destroyed,
could be seen two small black specks,
which proved to be the eyes. It is the
opinion of most farmers, that in their
present advanced state they cannot

Formidable Preparation for.
War.


NEW YORK, Nov. I5.-The Herald's
London specials says: 1.-THE news
this morning is still more warlike than
that of yesterday, and conviction is
now general that immediate resort to
arms has been determined on by Rus
tia. The air, in fact, is filled with ru-
nors of war, and the people who had
hoped all along that England would
keep clear, are now coming around to
the belief that the Premier, for rea-
sons best known to himself, is deter
mined on a fight in case of Russian
Invasion of Turkey. Whether he
counts upon having an ally or not is
one of those things which the future
may bring to light, but is now gener-
ally felt that even should England be
single-handed in the conflict, Disraeli
will not hesitate to resist Russian ag-
erosion by force. It is stated that he
counts on bringing 100000 Sikhs and
Sepoys from India into the struggle
and those with the hordes of M2home-
tans from the Turkish dominions and
from Africa. which English money
could place in the field would enable
the Turks 10 meet the Russians on
something like equal terms, but what
ever the government means to do there
can be no doubt that preparations on
large scale for war are beihg ener-
geticaIly pushed forward. The admi-
rally have issued orders TO have all the
gunb0ats at Portsmouth got ready for
sea Immediately, and recruiting for
gunners is actively going on in all the
naval departments. Extensive mill
tary preparations are also going on
and in all the arsenals the utmost &C
| tivity prevails. Troops have been Or
dered to the Mediterranean, and the
garrisons Of Gibralter and Malta are to
be strengthened with all possible dis
patch. Colonel stokes, of the Royal
Engineers, with q competent staff, has
been ordered East to organize the de-
Tense Of Constantinople, and this is
regarded as sure indication of En-
glands intention to act at once In case
Russia meves her troop into Turkish
territory"
