'•'Ii«* I'lnK»«' of l,ornsl«~Sin|fular
Scene* in Jni'l'n.
A letter dated at Jaffa Palestine), June
20th, describes a visitation of locusts as
follows :
"In the month of April last we observed (
twice large dark clouds, resembling smoke,
moving to and fro as if swayed by the
wind. One morning these clouds came
down and proved to be locusts, so great in
number that the whole land was covered
with them. The grain at that time was
I'n H in ear and nearly ripe, but tho locusts
did not touch it or any other vegetation.
•Soon aftor, however, it was observed that
they buried themselves in th*e soil and
thero deposited their innumerable eggs.
The Arabs and peasants saw the approach
ing mischief, and went through the land in
thousand» digging for these eggs; they
succeeded to a certain degree, and de
stroyed incredible numbers with water and
Jlre, but all their efforts had very little
effect.
About- the middle of May small black
creatures, at a distance resembling large
ants, were observed accumulating in large
heaps throughout the country, and a few
days after they had been thus seen they
began to leap, and manifested the coming
calamity and invasion of the fearful army,
as described so emphatically in Joel ii.
The people now began to sweep them to
gether and bury or burn them in ditches
dug for tho purpose.' But. all to little or
no effect, and as they grew a little larger
tho extent of their multitude began to be
seen, and the coming catastrophe oould
not be mistaken. The roads wore covered
with them, all marching in regular lines,
like armies of soldiers, with their loaders
in front, and all the opposition of man to
arrest their progress was in vain.
They first consumed the plantations
around Kamleh, Lydda and all the smaller
villages near them, and then entering the
towns and villajres consumed the victuals,
«fee., in the market and streets, by degrees
forcing themselves into the houses and
covering the walls outside as well as in
side. It seoms that everything which is
moistened by their saliva is poisoned, for
the cattle that feed on the remnants which
are left all die. I myself saw fifty oxen
dead in the villago of Delta, Daggon and
Zuffurish that had fed on tho remnant of
durrah (Indian corn) left by the locusts,
and the night before last twenty more died
from the same cause.
About two weeks ago they were seen to
a fearful extent all round Jaffa, but still
without wings. Tho town for several
days appeared forsaken, all shopB were
shut, all business suspended. Almost all
the inhabitants had gone out to destroy
and drive away tho invading army; they
made tremendous ditches, and buried and
burned countless myriads, but, as before,
all in vain, for the more they destroyed
the more seemed to arise from hiding
places, and as they grew in size so they
seemed to grow in multitude, and toward
the east from here they covered the ground
for miles and miles to a height of several
inches. As their wings arc still too small
to euablo them to fly and to visit the sev
eral hundred gardens within the cultivated
part of tho district of Jaffa, they have
hitherto confined their destructions to the
outer gardens, of which about fifty have
been completely laid waste, every green
leaf, vegetable, tree, and even the bark of
young trees, devoured, and these beautiful
gardens look like a birch tree forest in
winter.
Our garden was one of the first attacked.
For several days we saw tho destructive
host advancing; all our farm servants, as
well as several hired laborers, were em
ployed to keep them off, to drivo them
away, or bury them, but wo found them as
Joel describes them, chapter ii., verse 7,
'Tboy shall not break their ranks.' Who
can doubt the Word of God when we have
these evidences before our eyes i True, our
men broke their ranks for a mement, but
no sooner had they passed tho men than
they closed again, and marched forward
through hedges and ditches, as if nutted
by some mysterious power, causing them
to open before man, and to close again as
soon as they had passed him. On the 14th
instant they forced their way into the gar
den, delying ail human efforts to prevent
them, and in less than a day the whole
gardeu, tho extent of eight acres, was cov
ered with them, and tho trees, to the num
ber of three thousanà, as well as every
other green leaf, with the exception of the
palm trees and the prickly pear hedges,
wnro stripped.
Whether eating or drinking, reading or
writing, or lying awake in bed (for it is
impoastble to sleep) one hears their noise
from without, like the noise of armed hosts
or of tho running of many waters, and
within they keep dropping on and about
you. At moalB I am kept busy driving
them away; while I drive half a dozen
away from the bread as many will jump
into the sugar basin, or even into my cup
of tea, &o., and when undressing they leap
«ut of our very clothes without our having
known that tliny were there.
News has just reached us from Nablous;
the olive trees in those mountains have ell
been stripped, end near tho river Oudge
[be »oil 1» so thickly coveted with these
creatures that many of the animals led
there to drink refuse to pass on."
Another letter of a later date says that
"They are in nowise decreasing, rather
the opposite. Every native inhabitant has
been ordored by government to bring
fiftoen pound weight of locusts daily, and
those who do not are fined £l sterling
each time."
t^TTho venerable Mrs. Partington lately
started foom Boston for New York on
learning by telegraph that gold was rap
idly falling in Wall street; but, after sev
eral unsuccessful attempts to get into the
shower, the old lady is going back, a dis
appointed woman.
