Within the small space of eight feet square,
an immense number of human bones have been
dug up this morning, in excavating a foundation
for a new wall in one part of the improvements
on St. John's Church : most of them are of or-
dinary dimensions, but two skeletons, the prin-
cipal bones of which were lying nearly entire, are
of gigantic size.—Perth Courier.

A—PLAGUE OF EARWIGS.—A row ofhouses
recently built in this neighbourhood, have been
infested this summer with immense numbers of
earwigs. How they contrive to get within doors,
and daily to fill up the vacancies in their ranks,
occasioned by the extirpating war which is con-
tinually waged against them, we cannot tell.
But so it Is : they actually seem to spring up
from the walls and floors, and they set at defi-
ance all attempts to root them out from their
snug quarters. If by a great effort the occupier
of the house seems utterly to have destroyed
them all, he has little time to exult at his fancied
victory, for by to-morrow he sees that the work
of destruction has again to be begun ; and large
excavations made in the bread and sugar in the
presses convince him that the enemy has not
been inactive during the night. It is to be
hoped that some of your philosophical readers
will take this subject into consideration and de-
vise some effectual method of .warfare, by which
,this noxious animal may 'be driven out from the
dwellings or man.--Fife Herald.
