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

the benirtiful and fertile cluster of Islands in

'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.—,

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

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.
