A Trip to niQHLASD. -On Monday
morning we had a -call to go to Highland,
of course rot a desirable trip to make, it
being fourteen miles out of towu ami bad
roads at that. Rut bad roads are no ex
cuse for a physician iu this oountry ; so we
hitched our steed into the go-devil, not a
velocipede nor a sulkey, but a two wheeled
concern with many springs, which was
probably built about the year 1800 aod
brought into this country by Hon. J. L.
Gillis nearltfiprty years ago. The paths be
ing to roflgVat that day to run a two
wheeled gig, it was layed aside until we
dug it up seven years ago. It is now
something new and far superior to any
thing bere for a pleasure ride at the pres
ent time. We soon passed Montmnrency
and then had, what is called the 13ig
Woods, a distance of about eight miles
without a house to travel. Tho large an
imals kept out of sight, but the flies at
attacked our horse like a swarm of bees
and we dared not stop to fight them as
they were re-enforced by about 975853000
gnats, commonly called punk) 8 iu this
country. Rut a few hours had passed
when we arrived at Ilighluud, that beauti
ful place that a few, English settlers com
menced in the year, 1850 and they have no
neighbors nearer than eight miles at the
present time. Among the early settlers
is Mr. Win. Stubbs, who invited us to take
dinner, and we did not refuse, for they al
ways give a traveler as good a meal as can
be got up anywhere in the country. Af
ter dinner be took us into his garden
and over bis farm. His garden excels
any wo have seen this season and his corn
and potatoes are excelent. Fruit is almost
a failure and hay rather light.
Mr. Stubbs has resided in tho centre
of this dense forest for twenty years and
has cultivated within himself a good spirit
and is highly esteemed as a citizeu for his
honesy, integrity and iudustry. Long
may he live.

Stopped fcy Crickets.
Several times of lato tho train on the
Central Pacific Railroad east of Elko, Mo.,
have beer, stopped by crickets and Uelaved
sometimes over an hour in a place. Recent
ly at one point, near 'he Wells, where
there was a raising inclination in the track,
they bad to back down half a mile and
make three trials before they could get over
that particular point, where crickets had
piled themselves to such a depth on the
rails us to render the track so greasy that
that the driving wheels flew around on it
as if the locomotive were suspended in the
air. Parties unacquainted with the facts,
aud who know notiiing of the numbers,
size and fatness of black crickets of Utah,
Colorado, Nevada aod Kaho can have no
conception of the appearaoce of an army
of trickets or of the vast betp in to which
they mass themselves when they meet with
an obstruction. To such the idea of crick
ets stopping a twenty tou eoglns iimst ap
pear ridiculous; yet 6uch things happen iu
the sage brush country without exciting
any special wonder. N. Y. Herald.

The Two Opposing Armies.
Considerable intcrost is felt in the rela
tive military strength of France and Prussia.
The Military Gazette' ot Prussia represents
the number ot troops which the King can
call into active service, if necessary, at
something over 800,000 men. Of these,
4G3,000 represent the standing army of
North Germany. The remainder, at tho
servioe of Prussia, are from. Baden, Wuf
temburg, Bavaria nnd elsewhere.
The army of France consists properly of
the active army and tho reserve. The active
army includes about 450,000 men, the re
serve about 400,000, and the National
Guard, a military organization under the
direction ot the Minister of War, between
500,000 and 600,000. This gives a grand
total of something over 1,300,000 troops at
the command of the French Emperor.
Aside from this, there is a marine force of
about 75,000 men, and some colonial troops
not mentioned.
The population of France, in round num
bers, is about 40,000,000. That of Prussia
and her dependencies 30,000,000 to 40,
000,000 ; so that in this respect the two
countries are neatly equally balanced.
Thcro is a possibility of Austria and Rus
sia being drawing into the conflict, and
England may perhaps also become involved,
either through her relations with the House
of Prussia or in regard to her eastern pos
sessions. If such should be the case, the
opposing armies would be immensely in
creased both in size and strength. Eric
