Capt. J. 7. KinRsbury, formerly chief of
engineers Of N. p. K.R. construction in
the western division, is about to locate
line of road through the Cascade noun
tains, from the headwaters of the Yaki-
ma to the headwaters of Green river,
through pass surveyed after the Sheets.
The most feasible route will be found
through the mountains, and the line
marked. We are also informed that as
soon as this line is located work will be
commenced on the cascade division of
the N. p. Il. Il. This would have been
done before. but every effort has been
made to push the road through to Mon

as quickly "a possible, thus making the

Vienna, in 1857, by q Publisher named
Purbach: and it was followed in 1452 by
one compiled nearly in the present. form
BY the celebrated Re9imonfanus. A
copy Of tho last, dated at Wurtemburg,
147z, Is preserved In one of the European
Libraries. The sKalendar of Shepar-
des'' Was the earliest printed English

son, about 1897; the first In Ireland was
printed in Kilkenny in 1641: In Scotland

The "Almanac de Gotha" was first
published in 1764. and its publication has
been uninterruptedly continued since.
The British Almanac was issued in 1873;
and from that year until the present
time the field has been steadily extend

A GRAssHoPPer SroBY.--We clip the
following account of a collision between
two armies of grasshoppers from the
Portland Stdndard:-A gentleman Just
returned from q hunting and prospect
ing trip down Resse River valley, relates
the following phenomenon which came
very disagreeably under his personal
observation, says the Rereilie: He was
down below the canyon, some 40 miles
from here, riding quietly along, when
an immense crowd Of grassh0ppers dar-
kened the air. Directly he saw a similar
cloud in the shape of a whirlwind COM
ing from the opposite direction, and the
two bodies came into collision with pecu
liar violence and with q rumbling sound
resembling that of a hail and thunder
storm mixed. The dead hnppers poured
down like the furious drops and streams
Of q genuine cloudburst, filing the
atmosphere almost to suffocation. In
less than>15 minutes they covered the
ground for over a hundred acres to the
depth of from 6 inches to feet. His
horse fell twica before he got before the
confines of the storm. Passengers on
the marrow gage describe that thou
sands Of crows and billiards arc gather
ed at the locality described, and the
scent of the putrefying hoppers is terri
