The Rocky Mountain IOcusts.

WASHINGTON, Aug: 15.-Owing to the rumors
of injury by grasshoppers in parts of Montana,
the Signal Bureau has, at Professor Riey's
request, instructed its agents in the Northwest
to telegraph at once observations of injury or
movements. instead of sending them monthly,
as heretofore. Professor Riley also sent an
agent to the field whose reports confirm previous
statements. Not only are there large numbers
of this destructive Rocky mountain species at
work, but the common native and non migratory
species also much more numerous than
usual. At Fort Buford and Poplar Pine Agency
the locusts are very abundant and are damaging
the crops. On July 81, during the middle of the
day, large proportion of the Rocky mountain
species left, toward the east and southeast.
