There are several species of locusts, and all are extremely injurious. You have read in the Bible of thefearful damage they are able to cause to the trees and various crops. It is seldom that locusts visit this country, happily, for there isnot a greater insect scourge in existence. Our green grasshopper isalso related to the cricket, so merrily noisy in dwelling-houses. Crickets are difficult to get rid of when they have thoroughlyestablished themselves in a house. Like many noisy persons, cri...cketslike to hear nobody louder than themselves; and some one relates thata woman who had tried in vain every method she could think of tobanish them from her house, at last got rid of them by the noise madeby drums and trumpets, which she had procured to entertain her guestsat a wedding. It is said, but you need not believe the story, thatthey instantly forsook the house, and the woman heard of them no more. Possibly some half dozen more women in the house would have had thesame effect, without the musical instruments!
