There is no great loss without some
small gain. The grasshopper pest is
reported to have given great impetus
to the western turkey. AS an article
of diet. the locust is not in himself al
together appetizing in the
absence of wild honey. Most any of
us would prefer diamond back terrapin
converted into turkey meat that our
prejudices vanish. and he sells readily
in the eastern market for about q
cents per pound. 1t is simply another
instance of the marvels of chemistry.

A Ridieulous Error.

In the article last week on the wreck
OF Hon. Clement L, Valendingham's
newspaper office, the Sentinel publish
ed at Columbus, Ohio, as related by ex-
Soldier Cause in his history OF the
Second Ohio Cavalry, there crept in an
error in Mr.. Causes history which we
desire to correct
In the first place, Mr.. Valindingham
never published a newspaper In Column
bush or anywhere elsel II was Cover
nor Medary whose office, the Crisis
and not the Sentinel (there was no
such paper as the Sentinel), was
wrecked by Mr.. Cause and his fellow
soldiers. We happened to purchase the
Medary homestead, afterwards on Gay
street. Miss Wilson, the governors
sister put the soldiers to flight and
saved the property. She rose from her
bed, and halfdressed. charged the
wreckers and drove them into inglor.
ious flight TO the bridge.
