Some people laugh at the idea of the
lOcusts (cicGdOe) coming only once IN every
Il years, and say they themselves Lave
seen them five or six times. Our talented

is they come only once in seventeen
years in any one locality. 1t has been
seventeen years since they were IN this
locality, though the writer has seen them
four or five times, perhaps ofteneT, IN his
life, but it was in other places. 1t will
be II years before they put IN another

DR.. Conrad's sanltarium, Mr.. Wheat
SAYS: 81 came to this admirable and
truly homelke retreat TO rest in its sweet
quietness and to recuperate my much
taxed energies from unsally aiduous
musical exercise and too long and free
libations of my own free will and accord
and with the love and sympathy of my
family and friends at home, just as many
