The Locust. 4 tter may now in:a feW 'days more ex pect the loctiits to visit us sgaiek.,. A 'sketch of their history might perhaps be of Interest to many of our readers, The locust is a species of the grasshop per and one of the greatest scourges of the land. The eighth plague upon l'ilitaowit was in the form of locusts, and it was then believed to be a dovine judgment. In Egypt, they are represented by historians and sacred writers to have collected in im mense clouds or swarms, so much so as to completely darken the sun. In 873, in Germany, clouds of locusts came from the I east rind continued to darken the sunforthe spate of two months; and in one hour would consuthe every green thing on a hundred acres of land; and when driven hack into thesea by the wind, they occasioned a dread ful pestilence, Nom their decomposition. The heathen viewed this plague, also, as , a judgement sent by God, upon his people. I 'PlirTy says, Iris plague is considered ti manifestation of the wrath of the gods ; by their number they darken the sun, and na tions view . them with anxious Surprise ; their I strength is unthiline, so. that they cross ! oceans, and pervade immense tracts of I land. They' cover the harvests with a dreadful clouds ; their very touch destroy ing the fruits of the earth, awl their bite ut terly consuming everything." ' VOLNY represents the locust to be the most destructive of - all: destroying Wherever the locust. made ravages in the , land of Egypt, it appeared like' as though a lire had uit.rspread the whole land, searing the leaves and limbs of all trees, arid the roar of their flying was as the roar of a great fire. • • So destructive were these inst , rkz that the iiihapitauts Were oblipeil to dig t ireat pits or trenches in their gardens and liekb4, which they tiilled with water. or would heap up therein. heath, :stubble. brush. ST.c., of a combustible nature, which tlrey fired at the approach of Inch t, bot these In ans prov ed.abortitie, for IrPnehrPi were vtirkly filled, and ihelire ixiinguiyhel by innu merable swarm s. Some species of the locust were eaten in ancient times by the people of Eastern coun tries, and were considered a otient delicaCy. The modes of cook itio• them were itz. r0111MV:i —After tearing oil' ace let:, and wino, and taking Out the entrails, they would stick them in Ion!! rows upon ‘icoodeo spi ts , r oast them - at the lire, and then procetA io eat them. Sometimes they would cook them in nil ; or . pulverise ,them and make bread of the meal, The Bedouins were in the habit of racking them in salt which afterwards they 'would carry )) kb them in their kather ktyipsacks. From these they would eat sfice?, as they needed them.: An I is if not singular - that even lear;ti•d men should hes itate to understand these passages about the locust, when it is so conclusively proven. both hy.the teachings of the prophets, and the sacred writers and historians. The orientalists were, no doubt, Well satisfied that the locust was a delicious food, for they are represented as having taken them to market in all the cities of Arabia ; and upon Mount Suinarti they were seen gathering them into large sacks. A traveller speaks of having requested one'of the inhabitants to eat some of t ae lo custs in his presence. The Arab therefore threw some upon the live coals, and after• they were roasted sufficiently, he devoured them greedily.. In the book of Revelations we have a lit eral description of. the symbolical locust, which gi ves - ns a terrific impression of their power, and which is curiously illustrated by a passage Irma a t eastern Ira ve:er."A n Arab trout Bagdad," says he "compared the head of the locust to that of the horse ; its breast to that of the lion its body to that of the serpent ; its tail to that of the scorpion," and so of other parts. Thus it is conclusive that if the locust is originally an inhaNtant of the Last; and wits'a judgment inflicted by God upon the Egyptians. From the power and immense strength of his inssct, it was easy for them to cross the great deep. Though they are believed to be a plague in our own country. they are not a comparison with those of an cient time. Thu locust is found in great quantities where the trees are the most abundant, and front the tree the locust htys or drops its eggs, which penetrate :the ground, and there lie buried and concealed for a number of years, when they are hatch ed into the grub, and make their periodical return. The nullifier of years is is ieclimi ed at seventeen ; however it is tin:A.loM' (except as to curtain regions) as they are found in some C 011111 6 .8 tilniost every year. Cutting and Curing Any. As the time for harvesting grass is rapidly approaching, it may be proper to make a few remarks in regard to the time olcutting and the method of curing it. Our agricul tural friends kniAv that eartle if properly sheltered and fed on good hay through the winter will thritte, : and with the addition of a little grain will fatten, whereas if the hay is bad, they will away -or require a large quantity of grain to keep them in flesh. Of all the cultivated grasses usual ly cut and cured for hay, so far as our ex perience goes, clover produces the most flesh, ilesh, although blue-grass and timothy are iierhapi more productive of .uxual,e; and belief food:for .herses and draft oxen. But till grimes intistb cut at a proper time to attain the best q ifu 14 , of briy. Every stalk, stein and leaf duress is a chemical labora tory tit which different organic substances tit° combined', changes produced, arid new bULISONICeB formed. After mato rit y ilee.ay viva own ces, and iu time, the gransch are letAllerd iwu Ilieir iiiievubs(aneeS. Hence lailibisophy, as Well tis expetience, points to the full maturity a the grasses; and before decay counneticea, tia the proper time of harvesting them. By tithing befert3 the juices_are . fully elaborated, the quality is injured and gets less, and by autering, it to stand, after it has properly 'mai:tired, the quality is seriously the leaves fella:drat - id the stalks beconto of a woody subitance. All who havesuffered timothy to-ripen fully on the foot, for seed, know that for fodder it is almost tvorthless---, cattle will scarcely eat it, because its juices have been, by the chemical operations of na ture, converted into an unnittritious and hard subitance. After grass is cut at n proper time, there is often great difficulty iu securing it in good order. Clover is particularly hard to secure without deterioration, if spread from the swathe, and dried in the sun. The silks are large and juicy, ri_lquiring much sun and wind to dry thetn, while the leaves and small branches dry quickly, and are very tender. The leaves and branches are the most nutritous part of the hay, and a very large portion of them are broken off and lost in securing it. By exposure to the sun, the outer surface, of clover stalks become indurated . , which retards the escape of moisture, so that it is almost impossible to secure-them-in- a statesti—dry—Lhat._they. will not heat in a mow,. and unless great care is taken the dampness evolved with the grasses will be so great as to produce decomposition. By putting clover in small, Coin pact heaps as soon as cut, and without .exposing it to the sun, it will heat, and the, greater part of the moisture will be evolved in gasses, in from twelve to twenty-four hours.' As soon as these piles become heated to n de gree than,the_temperature is above that of the hand when inserted into them, they may be opened and spread to the sun for short time, and then taken to the mow, or•if the weather should he wet, and piles ; well built. so they will tarn the rain, they may stand without injure until the hay is coin; pletely cured, nod ready to be housed as soon as the outside of the piles is dry. By this method much labor and anxiety are saved, and a better, although not so bright a hay as if cured in "Iminterrupted sunshine is secured. The same plan may be adopt ed with advantage in curing any hay. Ev ery practical farmer knows that there is a great risk of hating his grass injured by rain wheit spread to the sun, if pardally dry, and the dan,r_rer . of it heating an rotting, if pm into a mow in large quantities, so that the gasses evolved by the fermentation cannot escape and carry (drop, moisture. Delaware iVater• Gap, 'Thirty miles above Easton, is well:wor thy the attention of travellers and admirers of the works of nature. Many conjectures have been put forth as to the cause of the rent in the rocks It this point. The height of the mountains, on either side, it is said to he over I SUt) fret—and the width of breach betweeit the mountains, at the base , One thousand feet, something-siinfiar to the oaf) in the Sharp Mountain, below Potts vide. The distance through the mountain is said to lie two miles. It is estimated that the amount of immer thrown out by the passin.z of the Delaware, if only one mile in length be taken into the account, would give the enormous 11111001 a of 1`2,672,000. 000 cubic feet—sufficient matter to cover twenty-five squitro miles, fifteen feet iii depth ! It is urged by a writer, from the quantity of alluvial land.; above the mountain, that, at SOUR' remote period, a' dam of groat height at that point-obstructed the progress of the Dclaware. If it bad been very near as high as the mountain. it would have raised llr water that it might have rail into the North River. It has been conjectured that this dam was engulfed by some great con vUls-ion of the earth, and these reasons are given in proof; The distance through the mountain is about two miles, and the water is as still as a mill-pond, so that a raft • will be driven by the impulse of the wind up or down ; and the boatmen report that a hun dred and ten years ago, 110 bottom could be found with the longest line. It is contended that had the mountain been worn by abrasion, such a gulf would not have existed, and that the bottom of the river would have consisted of the same ma terial which forms the nucleus of the moun tain. (hard granite.) instead of alluvial mud. Professor lodgers maintains that by• some mighty convulsion, which produced transverse disiocation in the Appalachain chain, may have caused this rent or chasm and cites the numerous gaps and breaks.in the line of the 13Iue mountain, as exhibiting, very ,generally, u corresponding wall.—• More Annexation. llecetit intelligence from California has brought us stone highly important, news from the Sandwhich Island's. France, it SeCIIIS, has taken umbrage at an alleged ex cess of duties imposed on her wines and li quors, and threatens, if the rates are not re• d treed, and some other minor demands not complied with, to blockade thu Islands. These threats haVe, it is said, disposed the Sandwhich Islanders to throw themselves upon the protection of the United States— by annexation, if possible, which is regard ed with. very general favour. Many per sons think the acquisition of these Island would prove of great benefit to our country —particularly to California. It is not at all improbably, - therefore that the annexation fever which now prevails in the Southern States in relation to Cuba, will next break oat in the Golden State, with reference to the benirtiful and fertile cluster of Islands in the Pacific now under the. dominion of hiS Jiawaian majesty. if this is not u •great country' already, it certainly will be when the Various schemes of the unnexationists North, South, East and West are accom plished !

'That apparitions do not always wander with out sufficient cause, is proved by the well attested fact which we give with the endorsement of the Montreal Transcript.— Last Tuesday fornight, as Mrs. . (a lady of literary taste and rather studious hab its,) sat reading in her drawing room, the dock on the tnantle-piece strucktwelve ; as the i last stroke reverberated through the ap partinents, the door was flung open. In the act of raising her head to reprove. the intru sion(unrung for)of her servant, her eye rest ed on the form of her late husband ; she screamed and fell senseless on the carpet. This brought up such members of the fami ly. as had not yet retired to rest , restoratives were administered and when Alm—, had regaineil her suspended faculties, and being a women of strong mind and highly cultivated intellected, she felt disposed to consider the whole dr ess she had under gone as the result of cerinin associations be -tween -the—melancholy-tale—she-had-been perusing and her late loss, operating on a partially deranged nervous system. She, however, considered it advisable her maid servant should - repose in her chamber, lest ' any return.of what she had to consider a nervous affection should distress herself and alarm the flintily. Last Tuesday night, feeling strong and in better spirit than she had been for several tnonths past. Nfis.—, dispensed with the presence of her atten dant, retiring alone to her chamber, went to bed a little before ten o'clock.—Exactly as the clock struck twelve she was awakened from sleep, and distinctly beheld the appar itition she had before seen advancing from the table (nn which stood her night lamp) still it stood opposite to and drew aside the curtains of her bed. She describes her very blood retreating with icy chillness to her heart from every vein. The countenance of her beloved in life wore not its benevolent aspect ; the eyes once beaming with affec 7 tion were now fixed with stern regard on the trembling half dissolved being, who with the courage of desperation, thus abjured him "Charles dear Charles! why are you come again ?" „ Jessie,! 2 slowly and solemnly aspirated the shadowy form, waving in its hand a small roll of writ-paper, "Jessie pay my Newspaper ae!...ounts wail let Inc rent in peace.” A Hard Case A passenger in the up train of: cars n the Central railroad, says the Hollidaysburg Regis, ter, on Wednesday the 7th instant, was seized with mania a paht, and among his other crazy tricks drew from his pocket a handful of dollars and dimes and thing them across the car at an other passenger with all his might. A part of them went through the windoui and were lost, and the remainder were gathered up by the pas sengers and put in his possession again: Ile had s one half dozen of $2O gold pieces, besides a number of $.l gold coins. When he started from the intersection he appeared to be more rational but the chances were ten to one that he would he relieved of his money before he was ten days older. Since the above was written we learn from the Johnstown Echo, that our subjects name was Barney M'Manns, and that he attracted the nolice•of the folks at that place by jumping into the canal basin, amd perpetrating sundry other fantastic tricks and odd sayings. He was taken into custody, and a guard set over him at one of the public house's, but he whipped the landlord and guard and made his escape. He was cap tured again, and the guard reinforced.
