well as hickories and oaks, that had sorrowful
appearances, after the departure of the locusts, but not because they had eaten any thing to be discovered. Thefemale with herslrong claws, fixes herself on a yearling twig, (I never saw them on any one older nor younger,) and, by means of a strong triangular scale, acting like a shovel plough, she opens a groove, quite to
the heart or pith of the twig, depositing her eggs in due succession; the males, which seem to be but few, in the mean time flying from
bush to bush, or limb to limb, paying their amatorial visits. This groove usually causes all the leaves on the twigto die, and ithas acorched nppearsnce. But it is not common for many trees at once, to be so generally affected; nor do I remember an instance of a tree being wholly destroyed by locusts. I am inclined to think that the "seventeen year" notion is a mistaken one; but if true, the locusts must live in tribes, their districts overlapping each other. DM I know little of their habits. I know they come out of lhe earth, burst a shell, and come forth a more perfect animal: but whether the eggs are hatched the same year when laid, or what becomes of the old ones. I cannot tell. I am but little of an Entomologist.
There was in the same year, (1791.) either just before or just after the locusts, a miserable
swarm of caterpillars, that destroyed all the
fruit, and many trees, both of the orchard and
lhe forest. Their filament? of web were sli etch
ed from limb, and from tree to tree, so that in
bushy roads, we could but with difficulty escape being covered with webs and worms; and
they eat up the young buds and leaves, so as
to deaden the trees. I rave sc?n several in
stances similar, in this country, exiendingover large spaces of the woods; the trees being
chiefly destroyed by the caterpillars. N. Crookshank

We learn with pleasure that the market for American Cutlery, as well as other articles pro.ected by the new Tariff, is steadily extending, given wider and wider employ ment to American Labor.
