An exchange, Il few week ago in
speaking Of the seventeen year locusts,
remarked that they "built nests like the
mud-wasp." Evidentally mistake.
After the locust energies from the earth,
the shell that covers it is bursted down
the back, and the locust flies OIL The
eggs are deposited in the tender bark OF
Young trees, from which the larvae drops
to the earth If this is incorrect, we
would consider it favor if some one
who knows, to correct us.

ing, MAY 2Sth under the auspices of the

1t is worse than folly to try and
please all at once. The ordinary news
paper man has not Il bed of roses upon
which he can reclinc. 1t is work all the
time, and then complaints are heard
about this article and that and thus it
goes. 4 subscriber will stop my paper
because there is nothing in the paper to
read, and take the Saturday Night, or
some New York weekly full Of trashy
novels. So it goes. We do what we
think Just and if fault is found it comes
from the chronic GROWERS.
Mr.. John T.. Lewis the genial propri-
ctur of the Deer Park Hotel, never gets
left Not long ago he purchased 4 farm
Just south of this town, lying along the
Depot road, for less than 500 per acre,
and this week he refused 5000 per acre
for the same land Mr.. Lewis seems to
know what is what He has also made
final arrangements in regard to the two
school properties, lately purchased by
him. A few more liberal men like Mr..
Lewis are needed in this town, and then
we may look for many more improve
ments.
