An Invasion Of loads.

Blencoe, Aug. 11.--For more than a
week a stream of emigrant toads has
been vending, or rather hopping, its
way toward the north. The creatures
are smaller than the ordinary and
seem to be travelling under strict mill
tary discipline. The gravel roadbed of
the Sioux City and Pacific railway
seem to he the principal route. On all
the wagon roads recruits may be seen,
and they choose the first opportunity
to turn north. The line on the railway
Is miles in length and contains millions
of toads. They are travelling at the
rate ofabout len or twelve feet a min
ute.

More mysterious than the explosives

he saw six men running away.

was impossible to remedy this, ow-
