The Capital Chronicle, of Boise City, says that they are badly troubled with grasshoppers up there just now. The editor says that "thick ain't a fit word to express the number of grasshoppers in our midst at 'present. Myriads would express only what can be found 'on a sweet potato vine In the valley, gar dens are reported as wrecks, and some we have seen in town corroborate the statemeut. Xor do they confine them selves to the vegetable kingdom. Yes terday we saw one flying in the air . with a ycj.rliug colt in one 'hopper,' ard a calf in the other. Two others were fighting over a Pitt's thresher. Another crowd was playing base ball with a ten-pound watermelion, aDd we heard them say something about challenging the Capi ral' club of this city to a match. Others had pieees of rail, wood or a wagon in their "hoppers.' The Umatilla stage was stopped. last night, and the driver reques ted to hand over W. F. &, Co's box, but the horses taking fright put an end to it. Several horses are missing in the valley. One grasshopper -came into one of the drug stores, seized a phial of arsenic and, hopping out, swore he'd 'pizen that fel ler if he didu't let her alone.' It is im possible to tell the amount of damage done. Aud, at present, we dare not speak as we would like to, for our life has been -threatened by them". A London firm has just obtained a patent for a method startling to '-old ealts" in it3 originality, for catching whales by means of electricity. Ry their plan every whale boat is provided with a galvanic battery. Wires from opposite poles run down to the points of each set of harpoons. ; When the whale is suffi ciently near, two harpoons are thrown as nearly simultaneously as possible and when imbedded the ncsh ot the monster completes the circuit. The charge is ex pected to be sufficiently powerful to par alyze the animal, so that the small boat may advance and dispatch him at leis There is said to be carried off from the soil nine pounds of. lime in twenty- five -bushels of wheat, nine pounds in aity Dnsneis ot oats, ana rmeen pounds in thirty-eight bushels of barley. There are thirty-five pounds of lime in two tons of clover, one hundred and forty pounds in twenty-five tons of turnips, and two hundred and seventy pounds in nine tons of potatoes. ' Some soil contains an abun dance of lime for a thousand years, while other soils require an occasional applica tion of lime as a fertiliser. Judy represents a young lady, who has been taken half a mile beyond her destination in an omnibus, as addressing the conductor : "It's reallj too bad 1 I told you, when I first got in, where I wished to be set down !" Conductor "Well, Miss, I let you cut as soou as ever I could find it in my 'art to p art with you." . The cost of an English lady of the pe riod, as she appears at a ball or theatre, is reckoned at. about $15,000 exclusive of the lady herself. AGlttCL'LTUltAL. ; WHY ORCHARDS DECAY". A cot respondent of the Valley Farm er says orchards have died or become poor, from these causes : - 1. The exhaustion of the soil from constant crops of apples' ; from the blow ing away by the wind of tha leaves of the tree which nature assigned to feed the soil on which the tree stands; by crops of grass, grain or roots constantly taken from the same ground, aud little return of substance to it. ; 2. Another means of their destruction had been in whipping the trees with poles to remove their applet. And still another cause was the pasturage of ; cat tic aitioug 'them . - 'i. To restore them, if any were left worth restoring, men must ceast! to crop the ground under tbeui, aud must ma nure them with vegetable mold, decayed leaves, wood-lime.ashes aud salt. A com post formed of these substances would be excellent ; or one formed in part by soaD suds and refuse slops, chip dirt, turf, &e., well rotted. Then trim them in the month of June of all dead limbs, and of those that cross and gall each other, and of all suckers that feed upon trunk or limbs, not neces sary for a top. v ' AN ITEM FQtt TREE-GROWERS ' Chas. Dowuiug says that he ouce wit nessed a remarkable change produced on the body of a pear tree by means of wrap ping it in straw. The trey was a Brown Beurre, grafted about seven feet high from the ground, upon a stock which for years had not gcown as rapidly as the graft, and presented a very decided bulge' or swelling at the junction of the graft. This smaller portion was encased in straw about two inches thick, and at the end of two seasons it was found, on removins the straw, that the contracted, or here tofore smaller stem, had "swollen to tho full size of the" graft above, presenting but a slight indication of the point of uuion between graft and stock. This is an item of interest, and many tree-growers who have trees with contracted stems, evidence of some natural want of affinity with the graft, may find it a hint for practical use. We have ourselves prac ticed wrapping the stem of Morello cher ries, when worked at a height pf two or three feet with the free growing or sweet varieties, with moss, and thus kept them swelling regularly. with the growth of the graft for years.- Grease on Carpets. There is nothing that annoys a tidy housekeeper so much as to have her carpet spotted with lamp oil or grease, and we therefore make known for their benefit the following re ceipt for extracting oil or grease spots from carpets or clothes : Cover the grease spot with whiting, and let it re main until it becomes saturated with the grease ; then scrape it off, and cover it with another coat of whiting, and if this does not remove the grease, repeat the application. Three coats of whiting will, in most cases, remove the grease, when it should be brushed off with a clothes brush. So says one who knows. We poor folks can't follow, French fashions even in making coffeo j it is too expensive. All the good there is ia the berry we want to get out, and that cau't be done conveniently by' filtration. - If the coffee, finely ground and enclosed loosely in a muslin bag, (I - don't like flannel, is put down in cold water and brought to a boil, but not boiled over halt a dozen se'eoods, a satisfactory result will be secured. If cold milk is used, bring to the boil again, asd set aside on a cold part of the stove till wanted. Dried Fruit Melange. Boil the fruit till perfectly soft j beat the whites of four eggs with pounded sugar tilt smooth like icing ; season the fruit with spices and sugar ; put in a bakiog disb. . Spread the egg smoothly over it and bake till a light brown. Serve with cream. V Green apples prepared in this way are still nicer. NKW TO-lAY. AND THE CORVALLIG FIRE !

June 19, '69. : At La Porte (111.) three little boys, each about eight years old, while playing near the railroad track, thought it would be highly amusing to see which could lie with his head nearest to the rail when the train came along. On the approach of he train down they went. Two of them came out all right, but tho third was scalped. r Lawrence Sutte, at Fort Wayne, Ind., was on - trial a few days ago, charged with being the husband of five wives, four of whom were wooed and won in the short period of three weeks.
