A Tree Groaning Like Human Being.


Quite sensation has been created in
the Amity Church neighborhood, Clark
county, Ala, by pine tree which
groans like a human being in distress

colors visited the place Sunday to hear

people the interest in the mysterious
sound is enhanced by the fact that the
tree stands hard by large graveyard,
and is also near the place where q man

The @crasshoppers.-
Min1esota, May 21st, 1877.

Minxesota, May 21st, 1877.
 MR. EDIroR,-The grasshoppers have been matching out for two weeks. White, when first hatched,' but soon turning black, they are about half an inch in length. Before rain they crawl up on the blades of wheat, on weeds, bushes and on buildings. Professor Riley seems to think the eggs do not hatch out we'll on clay soil; our experience is, that they do. and matched out four days sooner than on sandy soil.s We put five pans of water around in different places for them to hop into, and in twenty four hours we had caught three quarts, we buried them so we are sure they will not lay any eggs. We have destroyed two bushels in various ways. Turkeys. hens. and chickens eat them with avidity. It is very amusing to see the little chickens eat till thelr crops are 'full, then rest awhile, and begin again. We have ninety little chickens, doing guard duty, and we know they must thin the 'hoppers out some, but we can not see as they are any thinner.
 The papers inform us that the 'hoppers win nut eat peas, but wu nua they av, and will eat anything when young and tender; even to nettles. I think if the people. East, would import quantity, they would kill the Canada thistle for them.- We are having rainy weather now. It is fine time for grain, if the 'hoppers would not eat it of as fast as it comes up.
 They took two thirds of our wheat and all our oats and are matching out fast now 50 that our future prospects are not flat tering. Y.

Hartford parents, says the Boston Her. ald, are having nude photographs taken of their children. They began with in- fants. but they now take the little crea- lures up to the age of five or six, and very pretty pictures they are sad to make. Parents naturally enough retain the negatives in case of the older child. ren. for fear of a greater possible pub licity than might be desirable. We have 8 notion that there are lots of American babies altogether prettier than the chun- ky cherubs of the "old masters.
 There is tendency to brutality in hu- man nature that needs sharp watching. Even public "charities," !" so-called, are in many cases turning out first class tyran- nies. The brutalities of the Massachusetts Reform School, recently exposed by legis. lative investigation are paraHeled. it seems, in the Illinois Soldiers Orphans Home, where the. npesiatenaenta and his fam7ly fare sumptuously and ride in car riages. while the poor orphans are half starved, andd cruelty treated.

Arson and Burglarv .r;da,o,.

Last Saturday morning the building occupied
by Mr.. Bennett as grocery store, and the Ma
sonic fraternity as hall, in Bridgtop, was
found to be on fire. A boy passing the store at
a. m., saw the flames and raised an alarm.
and but for this discovery it is probable a most
disastrous confagration would have occurred,
AS it was the building was h alf consumed.
1t appears that man by the name of
Knights, and woman named Lakin, who re-
side in South Bridgtop, arranged plan for a
regular series of incendiary fires, intending to
break into the buildings first, steal all they
could and then apply the torch. The burglars
broke into Benefits store-which is in the
basement-by placing plank against shed
in the rear and getting into the Masonic hall
by window.
Having effected an entrance, the BURGLARS
proceeded to help themselves to ell kinds of
goods, which We're taken out of the store and
carried to piece of woods lear. Then one of
the burglars returned, and after saturatinp
number of rolls of wall paper with kerosene
placed them under the kerosene oil cask, turn
ed the faucet SO as to set the oil running. and
applied match The burglars took the plum
der to their quarters in Sonth Bridgton, where
Mrs. Lakn concealed it.
One of our Portland policemen went to
Bridgton to look up the case and soon found
that Mrs. Lakin had been stealing goods and at
once connected her with the affair. A lot of
goods were recovered, and knights and the
woman were arrested on the double charge of
arson and burglary

farm his comrades. At regimental reunions
there is apt to be rivalry among the gallant
veterans, but at such general gathering as
this there is no such feeling shown. Here there
is no question Of superiority. We are all SOL
diers of Maine. We all wish to keep alive the
history from 1861 to the close of the war; gSuch
a history as many of us experienced is worth a
dozen ordinary lives / am proud of the record
of the soldiers of Maine; am proud of that
brotherly love which links them together, I
hope we may keep alive the memories of the
soldiers of Maine as long as there are two of us
alive to meet. He closed with touching tr-
butte to their fallen comrades.
Col. A. W. Wildes of Skowhegan was then
introduced and spoke briefly. He referred to

after their children and widows who are our
wards. He closed with an eloquent, eulogy on
the deceased comrades. r.
r. X. Galley was then called up as the
great Whitewater. He made an amusing
speech full of local hits, and was loudly an
plauded.
Major s. G. Belcher of Farmin ton was next
introduced, He was glad to be among a COM
pany Of men who had had an experience
which was worth dozen ordinary lives.
Hills remarks were interrupted by the wind
which shook the tent SO that the compan was
obliged to adjourn to the hotel. The rain fell
quite heavily and large number went to the

About ten O'Clock part of the crowd re.
