A dispatch from Loveland says, an unex-
pectcd deliverance from the prospective grass
hopper plague seems TO have made It's appear
ance. Immense numbers Of hoppers arc
being killed by a minute insect that burrows
Itself Into the abdomen Of the grasshoppcr.
To what extent these little insects exist, or
how far they will carry on their work Of de-
struction, Is . mere conjecture, but from
present Indications 1t looks as though the
pest would be practically cxtcrminatcd In
short time.
