A CATERPILLAR PLAGUE.
A veritable plague of caterpillars is devastating the region of Pivy, in Auvergne. In the village of Aiguilhe they have even invaded houses, causing the villagers to Hee. At Vals several roads are covered with them to such a depth as to render traffic impossible, while the washerwomen on the banks of the JUver Borne are obliged to cease work. Great damage has been caused to crops, a single night sufficing for the caterpillars to clear large areas. All the usual- remedies have proved unavailing.
