ONE of our citizens of an observing
and experimental turn OF mind found
Iii
order to discover whether it could hear
we'll got down upon his knees and made
different noises to test the question. The
toad bore the noise and took part in the
experiments with such unHagging good
nature that the inquirer was working up
considerable interest in the matter, when
/ he happened to look up and found him
/ self surrounded by a crowd of people who
were speculating among themselves as to
whether he was crazy or simply drunk

! A WESTERN Paper suggests, that Eng-
/ lish spsrrows be turned loose in the West
/ to eat the grasshOppers. This would
/ he nice for the sparrpws and the grass
/ hoppers, but bad for the farmers. No
! sparrow will eat a grasshOpper or even
pick a savory mOrsel off from him unless
! it has a large family starving on 80 cents
a day. The sparrow, as New Horkeis
have found to their grief, is essentially a
seed-eater, and he declines even the
tenderest bug or the sweetest grub if he
can get any vegetable relish. The spar
row would probably fling the grdsshoPper
in a straight Graeco-ROman wrCstle, but
neither would eat the other except in
the Lass stages of famine. IL sparrows
are transplanted to the West they will
go for wheat with an avidity that will
make the grasshOppers stand up on their
hind legs and whistle with amazsment.
