NOW IS THE BEST TIME. 
If this meets the eye of any person who is con- 
templatiug moviuK to the west, and who is de- 
terred from doin.L: eo bv the marvellous stones 
which have gaim-d credence about the Nebraska 
grasshopper troubks. it will be well for him to 
remember that even if all the Btories were true 
the number uf people said to be in destitution 
would only amount to five per cent of the popu- 
latiun of the State. Hence it may br seen how 
absurd are the reports circulated as to the whole 
State being in distress, &c. 
The irrasshonpers did visit the section through 
which the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad 
runs ; thev carried away the corn, and so worked 
liavcc among the settlers, many of wh(im having 
come into the country but recentlv, and being de- 
pendent in a great measure upon fheir first crop, 
were frightened away ; and their want of courage 
affords the best possible opportunity for obtain- 
ing some of the finest tracts of land in the State 
at bottom figures. 
Now is the time to come, therefore, to secure 
good bargains.
