n Grass hopper Cloud.Barst.

A gentleman just returned from a
hunting and prospecting trip down Reese
river valley, Tex, relates the following
phenomenon, which came very disagreea-
bly, under his personal observation: He
was down below the canyon, some forty
miles from here, riding quietly along,
when an immense cloud OF grasshoppers
darkened the air. Directly he saw a
similar cloud in the shape of awhirlwind
coming up from the opposite direction,
and the two bodies came into collision of
a peculiar violence, and with roaring
sound resembling that of a hail and thun-
der storm mixed The dead hoppers
poured down like the furious drops and
streams Of a genuine cloud burst, filling
the atmosphere almost to suffocation. In
less than Is minutes they covered the
ground for over 100 acres to the depth
Of from six inches to three feet. His
horse fell twice before he got beyond the
confines of the storm. Passengers on
the narrow gauge railway describe that
of crows and buzzards are
gathered at the locality described, and
the scent of the putrefying. hoppers is
terrific. ssl .etfI .-
