Jinee at this place about 11 o'clock on

wnt last i;ight with us, doing consid-
rable damage to the city gardens, by
10 a. in. the air was again full of the
ests, and they commenced coming
own to assist those already here in
le work of destruction, the number
toes not seem to iliminisn nere, ai-
hough favorable reiorts come in from
le west.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says there
almost positive evidence to prove
hat a remedy is at hand in the shape
of an vjij tut in j buy, which is surely
uid certainly destroying all the eggs
id by the grasshoppers this year, thus
isiiriiig Minnesota an exemption from
je ravages of this voracious insect
xt year.
This bug is of :i deep red color about
the size of a flea or rather a louse, re
sembling the latter somewhat, also in
ts shape and movements. Now as to
he utility and complete success of
these bugs, as destroyer of the eggs,
there would seem to be no doubt in
he mind of thosn who have given the
ubject a general examination, as well
as of those who have personally in
spected their mode of operation, and
the places where they have utterly de
stroyed the eggs laid by the hoppers a
few weeks ag). Tim Pioneer Press
adds that the result of a careful exam
ination of ground when the insect has
destroyed all the eggs ami was seen
prancing around apparently in search
of something more to eat is perfectly
satisfactory. We have no doubt that
in a circle of 10 miles from Worthing
ton there will be scarcely an egg left by
to-morrow.
It is to be hoped the successful ene
my of the hopper has finally been fur
nished by nature, and that they mav
make their appearance here in Neb., as
we have good evidence there will soon
be work for them to do here, which we
hope may le effectual in preventing
their troubling Nebraska another year.

Wind south preventing their going.
They are laying quantities of eggs
with which to supply provender to the
