LETTER FROM IOWA.
DAVENPORT, Iowa, May 9TH, 1877

DAVENPORT, Iowa, May 9TH, 1877.
DEAR Notwithstanding to promise, we
give You some particulars-i in regard to the
movements of the voracious grasshopper.
We would say they have made their appear
ance in the western part of this State and
Nebraska. SO far as our observation has
extended, we see no cause for alarm among
farmers. True, to those who have not seen
them before in full force. some apprehen-
sion is likely to be entertained of their
destructive mission. They are in very
diminutiye size and much fewer in number
than We have formerly seen at this season
of the year. Whether they have all Matched
we do not know. There seems to be some
difference in regard to the situation where
the eggs were deposited-if in a warm ex-
posture they have put forth appearance
sooner and in greater numbers. But as a
number of scientific gentlemen, who have
been making Investigations in regard to
their doipgs in Minnesota and elsewhere,
are now investigating hereahouts, we will
have to wait their report before making
any definite calculation in regard to what
will be the ultimatum of their operations.
\ few months will decide, let the scientists
report be what it may.
We see but little dim mutton in the acre.
age amount of land in cultivation-rather
an increase over previous years SO far as we
can see.
We send you an account of sales of short
horn cattle, swine and horses, which took
place at West Liberty few days ago, be-
ing the annual sale of fine stock at this
place, generally lasting at least three days.
The scale of prices were much below some
former annual sales at this place. Posi-
bly, the quality of the stock on sale was the
causes This item may be of interest to
some of your farmers and stock raisers.
This is heavy feature of farming in the
West. Yours, OCCASIONAL.
Eat the sale of short horns, horses and
swine referred to by our correspondent, the
COWS brought prices ranging from 500 to
1895 each; stations from $175 to $40; fiji
lies from S105 to Sl55; swine, male, sci to
$50; female, S15 10 500.

An American contemporary says of
very prominent militia general that his

then in a raffie.'
-Tramps are very fond of flowers, and
may be found peeping into yards and in
quiring if the proprietor has anemone for
poor blind cripple.
Let us pause in this great race for
fame and fortune, aud ask why it is that
mans first search for his night key is
always made in the wrong pocket.
The Norwich Bulletin man says he
has frequently observed that the man who
always states what he would have done if
he had been there, is the kind of person
who never gets there.
Prof. Loomis, of Yale, says star in
the constellation of Swan is burning out.
But, strangely enough, he neglects to add
the usual explanation: sit is supposed to
have been fired by tramps."
Another Bergh is wanted, one who
will organize a society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to the public by hand organs,
banana peel on the sidewalks, base ball
matches, and cats left out at night.
A newspaper, in an obituary notice of
subscribers son, says: He was an I'M
common smart boy. He had a little too
much curiosity, perhaps, or he wouldn't
have peered so fatally into his fathe's gun"
"A Pennsylvania woman who went to
Kansas a few years ago writes back that
she has done as we'll as could be expected
under the circumstances. She has had
three husbands, two pairs of twins, and
the ague.
"A patent medicine to strengthen the
brain has been invented. 1t will not pay.
Men who have brains cannot be fooled into
trying such things and those who have
none are so sure that they have plenty, all
in first class order, that they will never
think that they need strengthening.
The latest war news may be condensed
as follows: The Turks iutepd to revictual
Nicsics, coming to that point through the
Dontcarewhatwedo passage in the Libetus
run mountains. Russia will advance-not
any money-,but upon Ghiveussadrink,
which is situated on the right bank of the
Wishwewerhomeagin river. If the two
parties meet a fight is to be expected.
Panic fears are likely to prove the de-
struction of the Spitz dog The belief
that this species is peculiarly liable to
hydrophobia, and inclined to bite on small
provocation, has led great many owners
to deliver up their Spitz dogs to the police
for destruction. In one city, East Brook.
Ign, there were said to be 1000 of them,
but the number is now much reduced. Is
it not possible that similar panic among
brutes may account for the extinction of
some wild species of animals?

THE ANTS In AFRICA.

When these ants grow hungry, a file
spreads itself through the forest in front
line, and attacks, and devours all it over
takes with a fury that is quite irresistible.
The elephant and the gorilla fly before this
attack. The black men run for their lives.
Every animal that lives in their line of
march is chased. They seem to understand
and act upon the tactics Of Napoleon, and
concentrate with great speed their heaviest
forces upon the point of attack. In an
incredibly short space of time the mouse,
or dog, or leopard, or deer, is overwhelmed,
killed, eaten, and the bare skeleton only
remains. They seem to travel night and
day. Many time have l been awakened
out of sleep and obliged to rush out of the
hut into the water to save my life, and
after ALL suffer intolerable agony from the
bites of the advance guard, who had got
into my clothing. When they enter house
they clear it of all living things. Cock
reaches are devoured in an instant. Rats
and mice spring around the room in vain.
An overwhelming force of ants will kill
rat in less than a minute, i'll spite of the
most frantic struggles, and in less than
another minute it's bones are stripped
Every living thing in the house is devoured.
They will not touch any vegetable matter.
Thus they are, in reality, very useful las
well as being dangerous) to the negroes
who have their huts cleared of all abound
ing vermin-such as immense cockroaches
and ceutipedes-at least several times
year. When on their march, the whole
insect world flies before them, and | have
often had the approach of bashikouay
army heralded to me by this means. Wher-
ever they go they make a clean sweep
even ascending to the tops of the highest
trees in pursuit of their prey. Their man
nerof attack is an immense leap. Instantly
their strong pincers are fastened, and they
only let go when the pieces give way. At
such a time this little animal seems ami
mated by kind Of fury which causes it to
disregard entire its own safety and to seek
only the conquest of its prey.

How the Oyster Builds His Shell.

Mr.. Frank auckland, who conveys in
struction more agreeably than any natural,
list of the day, thus explains the manner in
which the oyster builds his shell. The
body of an oyster is a poor, weak thing,
apparently incapable of doing anything at
all. Yet what marvellous house an oyster
builds around his delicate frame. When
an oyster is first born he is very simple,
delicate dot, as it were, and yet he is born
with his two shells upon him. For some
unknown reason he always fixes himself on
his round shell, never by his flat shell, and
being once fixed he begins to grow-but he
only grows in Summer. Inspect an oyster
shell closely, and it will be seen that it is
marked with distinct lines. AS the rings
we observe in the section of the trunk of a
tree denote years of growth, SO do the
markings on an oyster tell US how many
years he has passed in his "bed" at the
bottom of the sea.
Suppose the oyster under inspection was
born Juue 10Th, 1870, he would go on
growing up to the first line we see well
marked; he would then stop for the Winter.
In Summer, 1871, he would more than
uouUie his Size. III lS.S. ne WOulG again
add to his house. III 1878, and 1874, he
would again go on building, till he was
dredged up in the middle of his work in
1875; so that he is plainly five and half
years old.
The way in which an oyster grows his
shell is pretty sight. | have watched it
frequently. The beard of an oyster is not
only his breathing organ, i. e., his lungs,
but also his feeding organ, by which he
conveys the food to his complicated mouth
with its four lips. When the warm, calm
days of June come, the oyster opens his
shell, and by means of his beard begins
building an additional story to his house.
This he does by depositing very, very fine
PARTICLES of carbonate of lime, till at last
they form substance as thin as silver
paper, and exceedingly fragile. Then he
adds more and more, till at last the new
shell is as hard as the old she'll When
oysters are growing their shells they must
be handled very carefully, as the new growth
of shell will cut like broken glass, and
wound on the finger from an oyster shell is
often very poisonous.
