sale Of the i've hundred thousand acres Of
Internal Improvement lands to the pay

The grasshopper outlook in this locality,
has not materially changed since last week.
The Matching is not general but in places
they are thick enough to seriously injure
the crops il they, the hoppeIs, cannot BE-
destroyed. In all such places there is a
determination to fight them and all seem
satisfied that they can save their crops.
The efforts thus far have been successful.
The most successful plan is by the use OF
kerosene. It is sure death if it touches
them. The Hon. J. s. G. Homer has been
very successful BY means Of sheet iron
pan, in the shape Of common dust pan,
shout seven feet long. He covers the bot
tom with kerosene and drags it along,
The hoppers jump in and some Of them
die At once but many Jump out and hop a
few times before they keel over, which they
do without fail. The pan can be drawn by
two men, OF BY one horse and about forty
acres may be gone over In . day. The
pan might be ten feet long and Is % inex-
pensive to b within the reach Of any
one.
There b little Of no doubt about the
crops, in this County. being saved from
harm and the Ane growing weather prom
ises large yield. With continuation o.
che vet weather that has thus far prevailed
We have no fears Of eggs being deposited
here this season.
