Hor WEATHER to the New
York Times the weather this summer in
New York city has Been distressingly I'M
comfortable. The Times says: 1--WE have
not been favored with a really comfortable
twenty-four huors since June 2d-a period
OF forty-eight days-which is well-nigh I'M
precedented in any summer within the
memory OF now perspiring man. When
the mercury has been as low as !so or
500, the atmosphere has been heavy and
sultry. Day AFTER day, and night after
night, from early in May, the closeness OF
the air has Indicated rain, and yet up TO
July 6, we have had no rain beyond few
drops" The 7Imes closes by saying that
no relief is looked for before September,
and declares that the season deserves to
be called the Internal summer" The
Times man should 90 to Cony Island and
allow the sea breezes to strengthen his
nerves.

CONCERT AT BETHEL.
BETHEL, July 22, 1880.


Editor Of the OXFORD Democrat:
( Through the enterprise Of our genial
ss'Nebraska Travellers" our people have
been able this last week TO enjoy the lux
ury OF a vocal concert Of very high
order. Such opportunities are so seldom
afforded Us that we cannot refrain from
expressing our extreme satisfaction and
paying well merited compliment to the
ladies' and gentlemen who so well enter
tanned us. We have local artists whose
vocal powers we thoroughly appreciate,
but In their absence the services Of Mrs.
Halves OF Portland, Mrs. Lockwood OF
Baltimore, and the Amphion Quartette OF
Norway, were called into requisition, and
il we may Judge from the showers OF
applause which greeted their efforts, the
audience was more than satisfied. Mrs.
HAYES is too we'll known TO require any
particular encomium from US. Her round,
full notes, so clear and true, together with
the absence OF all apparent effort In her
singing and her very distinct enunciation,
was so strongly suggestive Of that queen
OF ballad singers, the lamented Parepa,
that the comparison was very marked.
Mrs. Halves appearance and mannerheight-
ened the effect, and without disparaging
her operate effort, "Ernani Involami,'
which was finely rendered, she set her audi
ence all aglow with Give O'clock In the
Morning." and was enthusiastically en-
cored. Mrs. Lockwood, daughter or
Rev. A. Bosserman, who Is spending the
summer here, has rich contralto voice,
and though unaccustomed to stage sing
ing, sustained her several parts most cred
itably. Her voice has great compass, and
her lower notes were remarkable for their
intensity and volume. This lady found
her way very quickly to the sympathies Of
the audience, aud received u fine basket Of
flowers after answering an encore. The
Amphions gave us quite variety of selec-
tons and pleased every one. They are
very fine quartettc, aud we shall always
welcome them 10 Bethel. Mr.. Burnham's
solos were rendered in very sweet aud
finely modulated tones, and rs his singing
Is very much liked here. he did not lack
for admirers. Taken Is whole, the con-
cert was success everyway, aud We wish
that we might have repetition of 1t. The
projectors aud managers, however, find
very little encouragement in gratifying the
public when they cannot draw sufficient
house to pay their expenses. These were
of necessity large, aud though the church
wa, fairly filled, 1t takes good many
twenty-five cent tickets 10 pay large bills.
And let me say here, that there was plenty
OF room inside for the three hay rack loads
OF people who found the music sufficiently
| pleasant To wait the whole evening under
the open windows, outside. This sort OF
thing is not calculated TO make such con-
certs rs this of very frequent occurrence,
aud We hope our outside friends will profit
by the hint. ).

No more HopperS.

Governor Pillsbury is in receipt
of very interesting letter from Cy-
rus Thomas of the u. S. Entomologi.
cal Commission connected with tho
Department of the interior. Mr..
Thomas gives his reasons for be.
lieving that Minnesota will hereafter
be comparatively free from the in
vasions of locust. The letter is a
very able and scientific production,
free from the deductions of a mere
theorist, and withal very readable
and intereting document, SO that we
regret that want of space precludes
the possibility Of publishing it entire.
The writer strongly urges the cultiva-
ton of forests. Tree planting, he
saws, should be carried on as extensive.
" as possible in all the settlements.
The lake and ponds and even marshes
scattered over Minnesota and Eastern
Dakota should be carefully preserved.
Drain these and dry them up, he OBJ.
serves, and the day will surely come
when this entire section will become
as arid and barren as the great plains
ofthe West. The preservation of our
streams, lakes and ponds, and the
cultivation of trees to engender hu.
mildly in the atmosphere will. he
states, contribute more than anything
else to free us from the locust pest.
and adds: eff these facts are borne in
mind and acted upon, the grasshoppeI
will no longer be a burden upon the
agricultural prospects Of this beautiful
State
