The New Crop of Grasshoppers.

IT PROMISES TO BE EQUAL TO THE LAST.

CHICAGO, April 22: A Kansas lady, writing to a friend, here, under date of April 19, says: “I spent the day at the farm last Thursday, and I never saw so many grasshoppers in my life. They are very small, not a quarter of an inch long. The planks around our flower-beds were completely covered with them, and it was impossible to walk without killing them. Mamma’s rosebuds and all the plants were stripped of every leaf, and not a blade of grass was left. The wheat is completely ruined. As if that were not bad enough, the chinch bugs are waiting for the corn to come up.”
