GRASS- HOPPERS. ---We hear consider- able complaint of the prevalence of grass- hoppers in this neighborhood. It is said that in some parts they are to be seen in . clouds. Although they have come too late in the season to injure the green crops, they are doing considerable dam- age to garden: and- root crops, such as cabbage, turnips, and even potatoes. Some predict that if next summer should . be dry, they will prove a greeter plague than the much dreaded potato -bug. MORE BUSINESS CLUNG -ES. —11.1-e. Thos.

A very respecta le attendance was present, comprising fie eral of the largest property owners and no3t extensive busieess men ,fihown. Th utmost unainaity of feel- ing prevailed and the sentiments of the meeting foun expiession in the follow- ing resolutio. : Moved by Mr. Malcom, seconded by it r. William Campbell, and --Resolved, T at this meeting, in view of the presen unprotected state of the village from fire, hereby request the Council to tak raeasures loathe purchase of a fire -engin and the construction of tanks, and to bring in a by4aw for that purpose. A GOOD GGESTION. —In connection with the clues ion of fire suppression, it has been sugg sted us that the cheapest end -most effe tive Mode of • putting out and preventin the Agreed of fire in this village, would be t� use the brine from the salt •wel s'. By having a tlink or reservoir _near the _salt- works, capable of holding a ler e body of brine, raised suffipiently hi!.h to throw the brine to' the tops of t te houees in the village, wooden pipes t convey the brine through, the streets ant a hydrant at every corn- er. By this of eans there would be a, 'constant supply of brine. at all tinies which could b used at a moment's notice to suppress a fire at the outset. The brine would e inguish fire much more quickly and -ffectually than ordinary water. It is a so maintained by many that the exp -nse of having' such an experiment as hat above referred to put into practice, buld be much less than would be incti ed in the purchase of and keeping in re air •a fire engine. The suggestion is ell worthy of considera- tion, and sho id be enquired into by our town Coun ilibeere they inveet in a fire engine. nleyvaile. FALL SHOW.

Sub. smibers to our Campaign. Edition will therefore secure an exhaustive seminary of the political_ news from all parts of the world, obtained from the best'sonnet;' and re -avenged and prepered speeially for thisedition. The New York Tiaras is a Republican newspaper, and tv111, daring the canvass now fairly commenced, steaelftly main- tain the principles of that party. It will support the regular nominees of the Philadelphia Conven- tion, ano do its share in securing their triumphant election in November. It regerds the success of the Republican party as an object of the nen first importance, and will give no support to irregular or "coming" nominations, which can only result in the success of the Dei oorats to povrer. • Th ere are projects of all kinds on foot for dissolving the Republican party, and the Tnms will oppose there all. ' Its course in reference to the Tamman Ring, at a tirne when all the other daily papete in New York obstructed and discouraged its efforts attests eineerity in the cause of Reform. Th; Trams stood true in demanding Reform from 1869 to the close of 1871. Now other jouxnals are at- tempting to make political capital out of the repe- tition of the ery. Thera is no sincere and honest proposal for reiOrm, in any branch of the tenrern- ment, 'which 'will not be heartily supported by the Titans. But it will not conspire in assistiog fun- bitious politioilins or demagogues to reach power under false pretenses. It will not crewel -age de- fection from the party. It regards the Philadel- phia Convention as the only body authotized to speak and aet for the Republican party. The Campaign Edition1 :the New *York Turns will be furnished to mail subscribers for the six months next maiming for the sum of 50 cents. All copies sent to the same Post -office to be mailed to One ares NewlIie aiork TIMES, as a Republican tommal, will be devoted, as in the past, to an intelligent and firth support of the Republican -party. It will sustain with all the force and hifitionee at its com- mand, the principles, and commend the piineiple and policy which have render that party so justly famous in our history. It vrili atleocate thane measures by which the honor, the peate and the prosperity of the nation can be best conserved and PrScIn°teet tartin September, 1851, the Thies has for ninny -years been tecognized as among the ntost successful, popular and influential newspapers in the country. Two of its original propnetore still direct its policy, and -with greatly -increased re- sources and experience will spare no pains to ex- tend and strengthen its claims upon the confidences and support of the publie. Its editorial depart- ment will be conducted in a spirit of fairness and impartiality, free alike from self-interested aims, political jobbery, or tmaue favoritism. It will represent a great body of the public rather than any clique or professional "politicians." It has no connection with it who seeks office, or who will become a candidate for office. Its correspondence will be full and timely, and its reports -will be pre- pared with the uttermost care. The literary de- partment will be in thoroughly capable hands, and will present a full review of the literary, the line arts, and the drama of the day.
