^©W IS THE BEST TlBVSE. 
If this meets the eye of any person who is con¬ 
templating moving io the west, and who is de¬ 
terred from doing so by the marvellous stories 
winch have gained credence about the Nebraska 
grasshopper troubles, it will be well for him to 
remember that even if all the stories were true 
the number of people said to be in destitution 
would only amount to five per cent of the popu¬ 
lation of the State. Hence it maybe seen how 
absurd are the reports circulated as to the whole 
State being in distress, &c. 
The grasshoppers did visit the section through 
winch the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad 
runs ; they carried away the corn, and so worked 
havoc among the settlers, many of whom having 
come into the country but recently, and beingde- 
pendent in a great measure upon their 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.
