with much thunder and lightning. 
Peru, Nebraska—lIn October last the grasshoppers came from the northwest 
and covered this country and deposited their eggs. In the spring they began 
to hatch, and they have done much damage to the crops. Wheat and oats are 
mostly destroyed, and they are now working on the corn. At the end of the 
month they began to take wing, and soon the air became so filled with them 
that they appeared like fleecy clouds. 
Glendale, Nebraska.—The principal rain in June was on the 8th and 9th, 
two and a quarter inches falling during those two days. 
Richland, Nebraska —June 5th, trees generally in leaf. 7th, raspberry
